Guesser Space Legal
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what data Guesser Space stores, what data is sent to third-party services, why that happens, and what choices you have.
1. Overview
Guesser Space is a brain-training game app developed and operated by Marek Dieška, an individual developer based in Slovakia, publishing under the name Apakhian Games. "Apakhian Games" is a publishing name and not a registered legal entity. We try to collect and transmit as little personal data as possible. However, some features of the app, such as subscriptions, rankings, referrals, and optional Google sign-in, require third-party services.
2. Data We Collect and Process
2.1 Data stored only on your device
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Optional player nickname | Displayed in the app and used for local personalization. |
| Onboarding preferences | Used to personalize the app experience. |
| Language and theme preferences | Used to display the app according to your settings. |
| Gameplay progress, streaks, unlocked achievements, and local puzzle state | Used to save progress and game history on your device. |
| Certain local subscription UI flags | Used to remember whether subscription messages have already been shown. |
Local app data is generally removed when you uninstall the app, except where platform services retain credentials or identifiers as described below.
2.2 Firebase Authentication
We use Firebase Authentication provided by Google LLC.
- Anonymous Authentication, to create a persistent app user ID used for rankings, referrals, and subscription identity mapping.
- Google Sign-In, if you choose to link or sign in with your Google account.
When you use Google Sign-In, Google and Firebase may process information associated with your Google account, such as your Google account identifier and authentication tokens, in order to authenticate you. We do not intentionally request your contacts, calendar, photos, or other unrelated Google account data.
Google's privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
2.3 Cloud Firestore
We use Cloud Firestore provided by Google LLC to store limited gameplay-related cloud data.
- your Firebase user ID,
- your optional player nickname,
- XP and level information,
- leaderboard and ranking scores,
- referral code records and referral redemption history,
- timestamps such as update or redemption times.
We do not use Firestore to store your payment card details.
2.4 Cloud Functions
We use Firebase Cloud Functions to process referral-code and promo-code redemption securely. When you redeem a referral or promo code, the submitted code and your Firebase user ID are processed so the app can validate the code, prevent abuse, and grant the related benefit through RevenueCat.
2.5 RevenueCat
We use RevenueCat to manage subscriptions, store trials, restores, and promotional entitlements.
- your app user ID used by the app for subscription identity,
- purchase or subscription receipt information from Apple or Google,
- subscription status, entitlement state, and expiration dates,
- technical identifiers needed for subscription processing.
RevenueCat's privacy policy is available at https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy.
2.6 Apple App Store and Google Play
Payments are processed by Apple or Google, not by us. We do not receive your full payment card number or billing credentials.
3. Data We Do Not Intentionally Collect
- your phone number,
- your contacts,
- your precise location,
- microphone or camera recordings,
- advertising identifiers for ad targeting,
- personal data from other apps on your device.
The app does not display third-party advertising.
4. How We Use Data
- authentication and account linking,
- saving and restoring progress,
- subscriptions, trials, and entitlement checks,
- referral and promo code validation,
- leaderboards and score ranking,
- localization and app personalization,
- abuse prevention and service integrity.
We do not sell your personal data to data brokers or advertisers.
5. Sharing and Third Parties
| Service | Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Firebase Authentication | Google LLC | Anonymous auth and optional Google sign-in |
| Cloud Firestore | Google LLC | Rankings, player profile fields, referrals |
| Firebase Cloud Functions | Google LLC | Referral and promo validation |
| RevenueCat | RevenueCat, Inc. | Subscription and entitlement management |
| Apple App Store / Google Play | Apple Inc. / Google LLC | Billing and purchase processing |
We may also disclose data if required to comply with applicable law, legal process, or enforceable governmental requests.
6. Data Retention
- Local device data: until removed by you, app reset, or app uninstall.
- Firebase Authentication data: until the account or auth record is removed, subject to Google/Firebase retention rules.
- Firestore ranking and referral records: until deleted by us, by service lifecycle changes, or upon a valid deletion request where feasible.
- RevenueCat subscription records: according to RevenueCat's own retention practices.
Some third-party services may retain backup, security, accounting, or fraud-prevention records for longer where permitted or required by law.
7. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights including access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, and data portability.
For cloud-stored data, you may contact us at mdieska1@gmail.com and request deletion of data associated with your app account. To help us identify your record, please include the app name, your device platform, your player nickname if you set one, and, if relevant, the approximate date of use or purchase.
- Deleting the app does not automatically cancel an active subscription.
- Signing out of Google does not itself guarantee deletion of cloud-stored ranking or referral records.
- Subscription and billing records may also be retained by Apple, Google, or RevenueCat under their own obligations.
8. Children's Privacy
Guesser Space is not directed toward children under the age at which consent is required in the applicable jurisdiction, unless permitted by local law and platform policy.
If you believe a child has provided personal data through the app in a way that should be removed, contact us at mdieska1@gmail.com.
9. Security
We rely on the security features of our service providers, including encryption in transit and access controls provided by Firebase, Google, Apple, and RevenueCat. No system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to minimize unnecessary data collection and exposure.
10. International Processing
Because our service providers operate internationally, your data may be processed on servers located outside your country of residence, subject to the safeguards and contractual commitments of those providers.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we do, we will update the effective date on this page. Continued use of the app after the updated policy becomes effective means you accept the revised version.
