Data used offline.
CasualPixel games have the unique feature of being games that do not require mandatory connection to a 4G or Wi-Fi network. It is entirely possible for you to play in offline mode. In this case, our games do not collect personal data, so no cookies, tags, or other files will be collected.
Furthermore, regarding the management of application files, only backup files will be created on your phone.
For proper functioning, some applications may need access to your phone's clock, but this data will not exceed the limits of its use within the game.
Which types of data will be collected online?
Once connected to the network, several data can be sent to our servers, notably through two SDKs:
- Google AdMob: which enables in-game advertisements and collects certain in-game data.
- Firebase : Used as a database to save your scores and usernames.
Our game engine, GDevelop, may also have the opportunity to collect usage data depending on the game being played.
Regarding Google AdMob and advertisements.
If our applications can access the internet through any type of connection, we may potentially display third-party advertisements through Google Ads in our Services. If you do not wish to be subject to these technologies, do not use or access our Services.
Google Ads may use information about you, such as your advertising ID, to identify users who may be interested in our services and display advertisements to them. They may also use this information to determine if you are an existing user of our services and exclude you from future advertising of our services
Regarding Firebase.
Firebase is a set of hosting services for any type of application. In our case, this SDK is only used as a database. Once in the game, if you want to access the online leaderboard and share your high scores, it will be mandatory to use a Firebase database. Your username written in the game's text object and your best score will be saved on this server.
Additionally, these two tools can provide general statistical data on your interactions with the application. None of this data will be transmitted to third parties or companies. They will be used solely for observation and optimization purposes.
Regarding the GDevelop Dashboard.
As the name suggests, it is a dashboard that allows us to analyze and track the activities of users of our applications. Here's what you can find: [List the features or information available on the dashboard :
- The number of sessions (the number of times the game has been launched).
- The number of players for the selected day and the number of new players (who have not launched the game before - unless they have uninstalled the game).
- The number of players who replay within 7 days after their first play (this is called "retention").
All this data is only used within the company to analyze and improve the functionalities of our applications. They are in no way shared with other individuals or services external to us.
