1. Overview
This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile game AR FPS Striker (the “App”) provided by Bravecat Studios (the “Developer”). The App does not require account registration or a developer-operated user account.
Camera images are analyzed in real time on your device for AR gameplay and are not sent to or stored on the Developer's servers. Match records are stored on the device. If you use the global leaderboard, your callsign and cumulative match statistics are stored in Firebase.
2. Information we process
Information processed by the App or website
| Data | Purpose | How it is processed |
|---|---|---|
| Camera images | Display the AR view and recognize targets | Processed in real time on the device; not stored on or sent to the Developer's servers |
| Gameplay records | Display scores, eliminations, accuracy, and local rankings | Stored on the user's device |
| Callsign, room information, and game state | Nearby multiplayer with other devices | Transferred between connected nearby devices during a match |
| Advertising ID (AAID), device/app information, and IP address | Serve ads on the main and records screens, measure performance, and prevent invalid clicks | Processed by Google AdMob under its own policies. The Developer does not separately collect or retain this information |
| Global leaderboard callsign, score, eliminations, match count, accuracy, and anonymous authentication UID | Display and administer global rankings | Stored in Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore |
| Website anonymous authentication UID and UTC visit date | Count daily unique visiting browsers | Stored in Cloud Firestore and visible only to administrators. Counts may differ from actual visitors depending on browser settings |
The Developer does not directly collect your name, email address, phone number, or precise location through the App. Discovery information needed for nearby connections may be processed by the operating system and Google Play services.
3. Device permissions
- Camera: Required for the AR game view and on-device target recognition.
- Nearby devices, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi: Used to discover nearby players and establish P2P multiplayer connections.
- Location on some older Android versions: Android may require this permission when scanning for nearby Bluetooth or Wi-Fi devices. The App does not track or store your precise location.
- Vibration: Used to provide gameplay feedback.
You can revoke permissions at any time in your device settings. Related features may not work if required permissions are denied.
4. Third-party services
The App may use Google services such as Google Play services for nearby connections, ML Kit for on-device image analysis, Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, and Firebase App Check to provide features and protect the App. These service providers may process device identifiers, app information, IP addresses, diagnostic information, and similar data under their own policies.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
To keep the App available free of charge, Google AdMob native ads are shown on the main screen and records screen. Ads are not shown during gameplay. AdMob may process the advertising ID (AAID), device/app information, IP address, and similar data for ad delivery, performance measurement, and invalid-click prevention. Personalized ads may be shown depending on your settings. See Google's How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and AdMob privacy information for details.
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland, a Google User Messaging Platform consent form is shown when the App is first launched. If consent is not given, personalized advertising is not provided. Advertising preferences can also be reset or disabled at any time in Android settings under Settings > Privacy > Ads.
Google's Privacy Policy applies to Google's processing of data. The Developer does not sell user information to third parties.
5. Retention and deletion
Gameplay records remain on the device while the App's data is stored there. You can delete those records by clearing the App's storage in Android settings or uninstalling the App. Nearby match connection information and game state are not persistently retained by the App after a session ends. Global leaderboard records can be deleted through the administrator interface, and deletion requests may also be sent to the contact address below. The website's anonymous UID and visit date are retained for operating statistics; deletion requests may be sent to the same contact address.
6. Children's privacy
The App does not intentionally collect personal information directly from users, including children. If a parent or guardian believes a child's personal information has been provided to the Developer, please contact us below. We will review the matter and take appropriate action.
7. Security
The Developer applies reasonable technical and administrative measures such as data minimization, on-device processing, and access controls. However, no method of electronic processing or transmission can guarantee absolute security.
8. Changes to this Privacy Policy
This policy may be updated when App features or applicable laws change. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
