Privacy Policy - CircleKick

Rokon Tech ("we", "our", or "us") operates the CircleKick mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our App.

1. Information We Collect

Information Stored Locally

Player ID: A randomly generated anonymous identifier stored on your device. This ID is used for online matchmaking and is not linked to any personal information.
Game Progress: Your best score, gold balance, and game settings are stored locally on your device using localStorage. This data never leaves your device.
Language Preference: Your language setting is detected from your device and stored locally.

Online Multiplayer Data

When you play online matches, the following temporary data is exchanged between players via peer-to-peer (WebRTC) connection and Firebase Realtime Database:

Anonymous player ID (randomly generated, not linked to your identity)
Game state data (player positions, ball position, scores) during active matches
Room codes for private matches with friends

This data is temporary and is automatically deleted when the match ends or the room is closed.

Analytics Data

We use Firebase Analytics (provided by Google) to collect anonymous usage data that helps us improve the App. This may include:

App opens, session duration, and screen views
Device type, operating system version, and app version
General geographic region (country level, not precise location)
Crash reports and performance metrics

This data is collected in aggregate and cannot identify individual users.

Information We Do NOT Collect

Email addresses, phone numbers, or real names
Precise location data
Contacts, photos, or other device content
Health, financial, or sensitive personal data
Account credentials (no account creation required)

2. Third-Party Services

Google AdMob

We use Google AdMob to display advertisements, including banner ads and rewarded video ads. Rewarded ads allow you to earn in-game gold. Google AdMob may collect and use certain data as described in Google's Privacy Policy. This may include device information and advertising identifiers to serve relevant ads.

Firebase Realtime Database

We use Firebase Realtime Database for online matchmaking and WebRTC signaling. Only anonymous player IDs and temporary game data are stored. Match data is automatically cleaned up after games end.

Firebase Analytics

We use Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics and crash reports. Data is processed in accordance with Firebase's Privacy documentation and Google's Privacy Policy.

WebRTC (Peer-to-Peer)

During online matches, game data is transmitted directly between players using WebRTC DataChannel. This connection is established through Firebase signaling but the actual game data travels peer-to-peer without passing through our servers.

Apple SKAdNetwork

On iOS, we use Apple's SKAdNetwork framework for privacy-preserving ad attribution. SKAdNetwork does not track individual users.

App Tracking Transparency (iOS)

On iOS 14.5 and later, we request your permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework before using your device's advertising identifier (IDFA). You can change this setting at any time in your device's Settings.

3. How We Use Your Information

To enable online multiplayer matchmaking and gameplay
To save your game progress and gold balance locally
To serve advertisements through Google AdMob
To provide rewarded ads for earning in-game gold
To collect anonymous analytics to improve the App
To maintain and improve the App

4. Data Storage and Security

Game progress data is stored exclusively on your device. Online match data is temporary and processed through Firebase's secure infrastructure. Peer-to-peer game data is encrypted via WebRTC's built-in DTLS encryption. We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal data to third parties beyond the services described above.

5. Children's Privacy

CircleKick is designed to be suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The App does not require account creation and does not collect any personal information directly. All analytics data is anonymous.

6. Your Rights

Opt out of personalized ads through your device settings
Deny tracking permission on iOS via App Tracking Transparency
Clear all local game data by uninstalling the App
