Loop Orbit Privacy Policy

Effective date: [DATE OF PUBLICATION]

Last updated: [DATE OF PUBLICATION]

This Privacy Policy explains how Sierra Technologies ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you play Loop Orbit (the "App"), a puzzle game for Android. Package name: com.loop.orbit.

The short version: Loop Orbit has no accounts and does not ask for your name, email address, or any other personal details. Your game progress stays on your device. The App shows ads through Google AdMob and measures gameplay through Google Firebase Analytics. Those Google services collect some device information, as described below.

1. Information stored on your device

The App saves the following only on your device, using the phone's local app storage:

• Your progress: stars earned and your best block count for each level.
• The programs you build for each level.
• Your settings (music, sound effects, vibration, hints, confirm before restart, animation effects, color-blind mode).
• Which tutorials and help screens you have already seen.

We do not receive this information. It is never sent to us or to anyone else.

You can delete it at any time:

• Settings > Reset Progress deletes your stars, saved programs, and tutorial history.
• Uninstalling the App, or clearing its data in Android Settings, deletes everything the App stored.

2. Information collected by third-party services

The App uses two services provided by Google. They may collect information automatically when you use the App. We do not combine this information with anything that identifies you personally.

2.1 Google AdMob (advertising)

The App is free and shows ads: an optional video ad when you choose to unlock a hint, and occasional full-screen ads between levels. AdMob may collect:

• Your device's advertising ID.
• Device and app information, such as device model, operating system version, language, and app version.
• Approximate location derived from your IP address.
• Information about the ads shown to you and how you interact with them.

Google uses this information to deliver ads, measure them, prevent fraud, and, where you have agreed, show personalized ads. We set the maximum ad content rating to Teen.

Your choices about ads:

• In regions where consent is required (such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland), the App shows Google's consent form before any ads load. You can change your choice at any time in Settings > Privacy Options.
• You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads in your Android device settings (Settings > Google > Ads, or Settings > Privacy > Ads, depending on your device).
• If you are offline or no ad is available, the App still works, and hints unlock without an ad.

Learn more in Google's policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

2.2 Google Firebase Analytics (game analytics)

We use Firebase Analytics to understand how players move through the game, so we can fix levels that are too hard and improve the game. The App sends these events:

• A level was started.
• A level was completed, with the stars earned, the number of blocks used, and the number of attempts.
• A level was failed, with the reason (for example, "hit an asteroid").
• A hint was used, and which hint.
• An ad was shown, and which type.
• The tutorial was completed or skipped.

Firebase also collects standard information automatically, such as an app instance ID, device model, operating system version, app version, country, and session times. These events do not include your name, email address, contacts, photos, or precise location.

3. What we do not collect

• We do not ask you to create an account or sign in.
• We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, files, or precise GPS location.
• We do not sell your personal information.
• The App has no chat, social features, or user-generated content shared with other players.
• The App has no in-app purchases.

4. Permissions

The App uses the internet connection only for ads and analytics. Gameplay works fully offline. The App uses vibration for haptic feedback, which you can turn off in Settings. It does not request access to your camera, microphone, contacts, location, or files.

5. Children

Loop Orbit is intended for players aged 13 and older. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has used the App and you want information removed, contact us at the address below.

6. Data retention and security

Information stored on your device stays there until you reset your progress, clear the App's data, or uninstall the App. Information collected by Google is kept according to Google's own retention policies. Our Firebase Analytics data retention is set to [2 MONTHS / 14 MONTHS].

Data sent to Google's services travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS).

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR in the EEA and UK, or under California law), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or object to the processing of personal information, and to withdraw consent.

Because we do not hold information that identifies you, most requests are best handled directly through your device and Google:

• Change your ads consent in Settings > Privacy Options.
• Reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings.
• Delete local game data with Settings > Reset Progress, or by uninstalling the App.

You can also contact us, and we will help where we can.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy, for example when we add features. We will post the new version at this address and change the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes will also be noted in the App's store listing release notes.
