Shore Shift privacy policy

Who we are

No account, no sign-up.
We run no server. We never receive your scores, levels or settings.
The ads in the game come from Google, and Google collects some data to show them (below).

Your best scores.
The levels you have reached.
The days you played the daily game and how each went.
The endless game you left, so you can carry on where you stopped.
Your settings (music, sounds, screen shake, vibration, calm motion, block color).
A count of games played, so ads wait until after your first three games.
Whether you bought Remove ads.
Your best scores for the leaderboard, so a score made while you were not signed in can be sent later.
This stays in the game's own space on your phone. Other apps cannot read it, and it is not sent to us.
Uninstalling the game, or clearing its storage in your phone's settings, deletes it.

The game shows ads through Google AdMob. Google's ads code in the game collects:
- Your IP address, which can give a rough idea of where you are.
- How you use the ads and the game: app opens, taps and video views.
- How the app runs: start-up time, freezes, crashes and battery use.
- Your phone's advertising ID and app set ID.
Google uses this to show ads, to measure them and to stop fraud.
It is sent encrypted.
You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings (Settings > Privacy > Ads, or Google > Ads; the name differs by phone).

If you open Leaderboard and sign in to Play Games, your scores are sent to Google with your Play Games profile. Until then nothing is sent.
Other players see your Play Games name and score there.
You manage your profile and what others see in the Google Play Games app.

The Remove ads buy is handled by Google Play.
We never see your card or payment details. The game only learns that the buy was made.

The first time you open the game, Google's consent form asks whether ads may use your data.
Personal ads are shown only if you say yes. If you say no, you may still see ads that are not personal.
You can change your answer at any time with Privacy choices in the game's Settings.

Shore Shift is not made for children, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.
We do not ask your age.
Where the law says a player is too young to agree to personal ads, that player should say no on the consent form, or ask a parent to.
The ads are set to fit the game's own age rating.
A parent who thinks a child has sent us an email can write to us, and we will delete it.

When you write to us, or use the game's Feedback button, your mail app sends us your email address and what you wrote.
We use it only to answer you.
We never sell it or share it, and we delete it when you ask.

Delete what the game keeps: uninstall it, or clear its storage.
Stop personal ads: say no on the consent form, or reset or delete your advertising ID.
