Privacy Policy

Introduction

Gold Drop ("the App") is developed by Daniel Fernandes ("we", "us", or "our").

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use the App and this website.

Overview

Gold Drop is designed to be simple and privacy-respecting.

The game runs locally on your device. We do not ask you to create an account.

We collect limited, mostly technical data to improve stability and understand general usage, as described below.

Data Stored on Your Device

Gold Drop may store some data locally on your device, such as:

• your best score / high score
• basic app preferences (if any)

This information stays on your device and can typically be removed by uninstalling the App.

Information We Do Not Collect

Gold Drop does not:

• collect personal information like your name, address, or contacts
• access your photos, media library, or files as part of gameplay
• sell your personal data

Analytics and Crash Reporting

Gold Drop uses third-party services to improve the app experience:

Google Analytics for Firebase

Used to understand general app usage (for example: sessions, screens viewed, basic interactions). This data is typically aggregated and used to improve the game.

Firebase Crashlytics

Used to detect and fix crashes and stability issues. Crash reports may include:

• device model
• operating system version
• app version
• technical diagnostic data related to the crash

Leaderboards (Optional)

If you choose to use leaderboards, the App may use platform game services such as:

• Apple Game Center (iOS)
• Google Play Games Services (Android)

When enabled, these services may process information associated with your platform account (for example, your player ID / nickname and score submissions) according to their own policies. Leaderboards are optional, and gameplay should still work even if you don’t sign in.

Sharing

The App may allow you to share content (for example, your score) using your device’s share sheet. When you share, the destination app or service you choose will handle that information under their own privacy policy.

Internet Usage

The App may use an internet connection for:

• analytics reporting
• crash reporting
• optional leaderboards / sign-in (if enabled)

We do not use internet connectivity to access your personal files or content on your device.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we receive (such as crash logs and analytics events). However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and you are responsible for maintaining the security of your device.

Third-Party Services

The App uses third-party services that may collect data in accordance with their privacy policies. Relevant links include:

• https://policies.google.com/privacy
• https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
• https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

Children's Privacy

Gold Drop does not knowingly collect personal data from children.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Any changes will be posted on this page and will take effect immediately.

You are encouraged to review this page periodically.
