Square Shotz ("the App") is a mobile game developed by Square Shotz LLC, a Texas limited liability company (EIN 42-2378455). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
- Username: A display name you choose during onboarding. Stored locally on your device and on our servers for multiplayer identification.
- Account Information: If you sign in via Sign In with Apple or Google Sign In, we receive your name and email address as provided by those services.
- Game Center Identity: For ranked multiplayer, Apple Game Center provides your Game Center alias for matchmaking and leaderboards.
Information Collected Automatically
- Game Data: Progress, statistics, inventory, currency balance. Stored locally and synced to our servers when online features are active.
- Analytics Data: Anonymous usage data via Firebase Analytics. Cannot be used to personally identify you.
- Crash Reports: Via Firebase Crashlytics. Device + app state info only — no personal data.
- Purchase History: Records of in-app purchases processed by Apple. We see only the product and transaction ID.
- Advertising Identifier (IDFA): If — and only if — you grant App Tracking Transparency permission, Google AdMob may access your iOS Advertising Identifier to serve relevant ads in our one optional rewarded ad slot (see "Advertising" below). If you decline, AdMob serves non-personalized ads instead.
Information We Do NOT Collect
- Your location, contacts, photos, or camera data
- We do not sell your data to third parties
- Outside the single optional rewarded ad slot described below, we do not track you across other apps or websites
Advertising
Square Shotz contains one optional, user-initiated rewarded ad: a "Watch ad to 2× your daily login reward" button on the Daily Reward screen. You never see an ad unless you tap to watch one. There are no banners, no interstitials, no ads during gameplay.
This ad is served by Google AdMob. When you tap to watch:
- If you have granted App Tracking Transparency permission, AdMob may use your iOS Advertising Identifier (IDFA) to serve a personalized ad.
- If you have declined ATT permission, AdMob serves a non-personalized ad.
- You can change this at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking, or iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising.
Google's use of your data for advertising is governed by the Google Ads Privacy Policy.
