Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information Snake Party collects, how we use it, how it is shared, and the choices you have. It is written to meet Google Play requirements for data safety disclosures, including offline play, online multiplayer, analytics, crash reporting, and advertising when those features are enabled.
1. Summary
- You can play World Tour and Free Play without creating an account.
- Progress (coins, unlocks, settings) is stored locally on your device.
- Online multiplayer uses our game servers (including
eur.snakeparty.cloud) for matchmaking, rooms, and live play. - We do not sell your personal information.
- Ads, analytics, and crash reporting may run depending on the build and region consent settings.
2. Information we collect
2.1 Data stored on your device
- Gameplay progress, scores, unlocked cities, wallet balances, missions, and settings.
- Optional display name / profile nickname you choose in the App.
- Language and accessibility preferences.
- Local online guest session token / short player code used to reconnect to Online features.
This data remains on your device unless you back it up with your OS backup tools (for example Google backup) or sync it through Online features described below.
2.2 Online multiplayer & game servers
When you use Online (Quick Match, Create Room, Join Room, or live matches), the App connects to Noxolab game servers over HTTPS/WSS. Depending on the feature, we may process:
- Pseudonymous player identifier / guest auth token and short display code.
- Display name shown to other players in a lobby or match.
- Room codes, lobby membership, match join/leave events.
- Gameplay events needed to run the match (inputs, snapshots, results, crowns/scores).
- Basic connection diagnostics (for example connection success/failure, latency-related errors).
- Approximate network information such as IP address as processed by our hosting provider for security and routing.
Online is optional. If Online is unavailable, World Tour and Free Play still work on device. Do not share personal contact details in display names or chat-like fields.
2.3 Analytics & crash reporting
We may use Google Firebase Analytics and/or Firebase Crashlytics (or similar tools) to understand stability and improve the game. This may include:
- Device model, OS version, app version, locale.
- Crash logs and performance diagnostics.
- Coarse usage events (for example screens opened, match started/ended — not the contents of private messages).
- App-instance identifiers provided by the analytics SDK.
See Google’s policies for Firebase: Firebase Privacy.
2.4 Advertising (when enabled)
Some builds may show rewarded or interstitial ads via Google AdMob. AdMob and its partners may process advertising ID / device identifiers, IP address, coarse location derived from IP, ad interaction data, and diagnostics to deliver and measure ads.
Where required (for example EEA/UK), we show a consent form before non-essential ads/analytics cookies or identifiers are used. You can also reset or opt out of personalized ads in your Android advertising settings.
2.5 In-app purchases
Purchases (if offered) are processed by Google Play. We may receive purchase tokens or receipts to unlock items. We do not receive your full payment card details.
2.6 Data we do not ask for
- No government ID, and no email/phone required to start playing offline.
- No precise GPS location permission for core gameplay.
- No access to contacts, photos, microphone, or camera unless a future feature clearly requests it and this policy is updated.
3. Why we use information
- Provide gameplay, saves, Online matchmaking, and leaderboards.
- Keep Online rooms fair and secure; prevent abuse, cheating, and spam.
- Fix crashes, improve performance and balance.
- Show ads or grant rewarded content when advertising is enabled.
- Comply with law and respond to valid legal requests.
We do not sell personal information.
4. Sharing
We may share information with:
- Service providers that host our API/game servers, analytics, crash reporting, and ads (for example Google / Firebase / AdMob / cloud hosts).
- Other players — limited multiplayer visibility such as display name, player code/tag, room presence, and in-match gameplay state.
- Authorities when required by law or to protect users, the App, or our rights.
We do not share your data for third-party cross-app marketing unrelated to Snake Party.
5. Data safety categories (Google Play)
Depending on features enabled in your version, Snake Party may collect:
- App activity — gameplay interactions, Online match events.
- App info and performance — crash logs, diagnostics.
- Device or other IDs — advertising ID (ads), analytics app-instance ID, Online guest token/player code.
- Approximate location — only if derived by ad/analytics partners from IP (not precise GPS from us).
Data is used for app functionality, analytics, and advertising (when enabled). Data may be processed ephemerally for live matches and retained as described below.
6. Legal bases (EEA/UK/Switzerland)
Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we rely on:
- Contract — to provide the game, local saves, and Online features you request.
- Legitimate interests — security, fraud prevention, basic reliability metrics.
- Consent — personalized ads and non-essential analytics where required; you can withdraw consent in-app or via device settings.
- Legal obligation — when the law requires us to keep or disclose information.
7. Children
Snake Party is a casual game intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the minimum digital consent age in your country) for Online, ads, or analytics without appropriate consent where required. If you believe a child provided personal data, contact us and we will delete it where required.
Parents/guardians: consider using Google Play family settings and limiting Online or ads on shared devices.
8. Retention
- Local data — until you clear app storage or uninstall the App.
- Online session / match data — kept only as long as needed to run matches, prevent abuse, and operate features; then deleted or anonymized.
- Analytics/crash data — retained according to the provider’s retention settings and our need to fix issues.
- Purchase records — retained as needed for entitlement and accounting/compliance.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, including encrypted transport (HTTPS/TLS) to our Online endpoints. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
10. International transfers
We and our providers may process data in the United States, Europe (including regional hosts such as
eur.snakeparty.cloud), and other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards
(for example Standard Contractual Clauses used by providers).
11. Your rights & choices
- Access, correction, deletion, portability, objection, or restriction where applicable by law.
- Withdraw consent for personalized ads/analytics where a consent flow is shown.
- Reset advertising ID in Android settings.
- Stop Online use anytime; uninstalling or clearing storage deletes local progress.
- Email privacy@snakeparty.cloud for privacy requests. We may need enough detail to verify the request.
12. California (CCPA/CPRA) & similar US laws
We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising except as disclosed for advertising SDKs when ads are enabled and permitted. California residents may request access or deletion of personal information we hold, subject to exceptions. Categories that may be collected are listed in Sections 2 and 5 (identifiers, device data, usage/app activity).
13. Third-party links & stores
The Play Store, Google account services, and any external links have their own privacy policies. This Policy covers Snake Party and our related site pages at snakeparty.cloud.
14. Changes
We may update this Policy as the App changes (for example new Online, ads, or analytics features). Material changes will get a new effective date on this page and, when appropriate, an in-app notice.
