1. Introduction
Welcome to Not That Color (the "Game"), a local 2-player reaction game. We value your privacy and are committed to maintaining a secure and transparent experience for all players.
Our Privacy Approach: We do not directly collect, store, or share any personal information you provide. However, the Game uses Google Firebase Cloud Messaging for push notifications and Google AdMob for advertising, both of which require internet access and may process certain device data on our behalf. Full details are provided in Sections 4 and 5 below.
2. Data Collection & Usage
The Game itself does not collect, store, or share any personal data that you provide. Specifically:
- No Personal Information: We do not ask for or collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or account details.
- In-Memory Scoring: Gameplay scores, player settings, and reaction times are processed completely in the device's temporary volatile memory (RAM) and are deleted immediately when you close or restart the Game.
- No Behavioral Analytics or Tracking: We do not track your in-game behavior, usage statistics, or personal identifiers.
However, we use Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to deliver push notifications and Google AdMob to display advertisements. Both services automatically collect certain device data on our behalf. See Sections 4 and 5 for full details.
3. Device Permissions
The Game does not require access to sensitive permissions such as your camera, microphone, photo library, contacts, or location. However, the Game does require internet/network access for the following purposes:
- Delivering push notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)
- Displaying advertisements via Google AdMob
No gameplay data or personal information you enter is transmitted over this connection.
4. Push Notifications & Firebase Cloud Messaging
We use Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to deliver push notifications to your device. To facilitate notification delivery, the Firebase SDK automatically collects and processes certain device metadata, including:
- Firebase Installation IDs (FIDs) and FCM Tokens
- Basic device information (such as operating system version and model)
This data is processed by Google on our behalf for the following declared purposes:
- App Functionality — Routing and delivering push notifications to your device.
- Developer Communications — Sending you important updates, announcements, or communications related to the Game (e.g., new version releases or policy changes).
All data is transmitted securely via HTTPS and is not shared with third parties for independent marketing purposes.
You can manage or disable push notifications at any time through your device's system settings. For more information on how Google processes data, please review Google's Privacy Policy.
5. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The Game displays interstitial ads (full-screen ads shown between gameplay sessions) on Android devices, provided by Google AdMob. To serve relevant ads, Google may automatically collect and process certain information from your device, which may include:
- Advertising ID (Google Advertising ID / GAID)
- IP address and approximate location (derived from IP)
- Device information (manufacturer, model, OS version)
- Ad interaction data (impressions, clicks)
This data is collected and processed by Google in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not receive or store your Advertising ID or any other ad-related personal data ourselves.
You can opt out of personalised ads at any time by adjusting your device settings:
- Android: Settings → Google → Ads → "Delete advertising ID" or "Opt out of Ads Personalization"
For more information, please review Google's Privacy Policy and Google AdMob's data practices.
6. Other Third-Party Services
Apart from Firebase Cloud Messaging and Google AdMob described above, the Game does not integrate any other analytics platforms or social networks. No personal data is shared with any other third party.
7. Children's Privacy
The Game is designed to be safe for players of all ages, including children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. However, please be aware that Google AdMob may collect device identifiers (such as Advertising ID) to serve ads, and Google Firebase collects device metadata for push notification delivery, as described in Sections 4 and 5. Both services are governed by Google's own privacy policies.
8. Changes to this Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any policy updates will be published alongside new versions of the Game on the app stores.
