This policy explains what information Spell-Smith: Weapon Swarm ("the game"), published by Spell-Smith Games ("we"), handles and why.
The game has no accounts of its own. We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, photos or precise location. Signing in is optional and is handled by Google Play Games (see below).
Your progress (unlocked stages, currencies, upgrades, skins and settings) is saved in the game's local storage on your device. It is not sent to us. If you sign in with Google Play Games, a copy is also kept in your Google account (see below). You can also copy your progress as a backup code from Settings; that code stays wherever you choose to paste it. Uninstalling the game or clearing its data deletes the copy on your device.
If you sign in with Google Play Games, Google gives the game your Play Games player ID and display name, which the game shows on your profile. Your progress is saved to Google Play Games "Saved Games" in your Google account so you can restore it on another device, and your best stage, league points and achievements are sent to Google Play Games leaderboards and achievements, where other players may see your display name and scores depending on your Play Games settings. This data is stored and processed by Google under the Google Privacy Policy; it is not sent to our own servers. You can delete the game's Play Games data, or stop using Play Games, from the Google Play Games app or your Google Account.
Purchases are processed by Google Play. We never see your payment details. To deliver an item, the game receives a purchase token and order ID from Google Play and stores them on your device so the same purchase is not delivered twice. Google's handling of payment data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
Purchase verification. To stop fraud and to handle refunds, each purchase is checked with Google Play by our server (hosted on Google Firebase / Google Cloud) before the item is delivered. For this the game sends our server the purchase token, the product ID and a random identifier created for this installation of the game. We store a one-way hash of the purchase token, the order ID, the product ID, that random installation identifier, and whether the purchase was granted or refunded. This record is not linked to your name, email address or Google account on our side. We keep it for as long as needed for accounting and fraud prevention, and no longer than 5 years and use it only to verify purchases and reverse refunded ones.
Similarly, when you watch an optional rewarded ad for a free chest, Google AdMob confirms the completed view to our server together with the same random installation identifier and a one-time code, so each reward can be claimed only once. We store that confirmation and whether it was claimed.
Mystery boxes award random cosmetic Skin Shards (combined to craft cosmetic skins) and, in some boxes, Perk Rune cards that upgrade in-game abilities. The odds for every box and every item are shown in the in-game store ("Drop rates") before purchase.
The game shows ads through Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads and to prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address (used to estimate an approximate location), device and app information, and interactions with ads. See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the game asks for your consent through Google's consent tool before ads are personalised. You can change your choice at any time in Settings → Ad privacy choices. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device's Android settings.
Players who buy the Ad-Free Pass do not see interstitial ads; optional "watch an ad for a reward" offers remain available and are never required.
We advertise the game on Facebook and Instagram. To learn whether those ads lead to installs, the game includes the Meta (Facebook) SDK for app events. When you open the game, it may send Meta your device's advertising ID, the install referrer from Google Play, basic device and app information (such as model, operating system and app version) and the fact that the game was installed or opened. It is not used to sign you in and it does not read your Facebook account. This data is processed by Meta Platforms under the Meta Privacy Policy.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the Meta SDK only starts if you accept the consent message shown when the game starts; you can change this at any time in Settings → Ad privacy choices. Everywhere, you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device's Android settings, and you can control how Meta uses off-Facebook activity in your Facebook settings.
The game is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
The only data we hold is the purchase-verification record described above. To access or delete yours, contact us with the order ID from your Google Play receipt. For data processed by Google (advertising and payments), use your Google Account controls or contact Google.
We will update this page if the game's data handling changes, and change the date above.
