Firebase & Third-Party Services
This game uses Firebase services provided by Google to enable core functionality. While we don't collect personal data, Firebase may collect minimal technical information as described below.
Firebase Firestore (Real-time Database)
Used for real-time multiplayer game synchronization. Game state data (dice rolls, bids, room codes) is stored temporarily and automatically deleted when games end. No personal information is associated with this data.
Firebase Analytics (Optional)
If enabled, Firebase Analytics may collect anonymous usage data such as:
- Device type and operating system version
- App version and crash reports
- General usage statistics (sessions, screen views)
- Anonymous performance metrics
This data is aggregated and anonymized. It helps us identify bugs and improve game performance. You can opt out of analytics through your device settings.
Data Retention
Game session data in Firestore is automatically deleted within 24 hours after game completion. Analytics data is retained according to Firebase's default retention policy (14 months for user-level data, indefinitely for aggregated data).
