1. Introduction

Welcome to Battle with Friends: Mini Games. We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile application.

2. Data We Collect

Our app does not require a user login or account creation. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information to our servers.

WiFi Direct Data

Battle with Friends uses WiFi Direct to establish a peer-to-peer connection between two nearby devices for local multiplayer gameplay. During a game session, the following data is transmitted directly between the connected devices:

  • Player names (entered at the start of each session)
  • Game moves and actions
  • Game state and results
  • Device discovery information during matchmaking

This data is transmitted directly between the two connected devices only and is not stored, logged, or sent to any server. Player names and game data exist only for the duration of the session and are discarded when the game ends.

Location Permissions

The app requests location permissions (fine and coarse location) because Android requires these permissions for WiFi Direct peer discovery. The app does not track, store, or transmit your geographic location. On Android 13 and above, the app uses the NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES permission with the neverForLocation flag, which does not require location access.

Locally Stored Data

The app does not persistently store any user data, player profiles, game history, or preferences on your device.

Analytics Data

The app uses Google Analytics for Firebase to collect anonymous usage data such as session duration, screens visited, and general app interaction patterns. This helps us understand how the app is used and improve its functionality. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.

Crash Reporting Data

The app uses Firebase Crashlytics to automatically collect crash reports and diagnostic data when the app encounters an error. This may include device model, OS version, app state at the time of the crash, and stack traces. This data is used solely to identify and fix bugs. No personally identifiable information is collected through crash reporting.

Advertising Data

The app uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and use device identifiers and usage data to serve and personalize ads.

3. Third-Party Services

Our app integrates services provided by Google. These services process data according to their own privacy policies:

4. Data Retention and Security

  • Game data (player names, moves, results) exists only during an active session and is not stored on either device or any server.
  • Analytics data is managed by Google’s secure infrastructure and follows their retention policies.
  • Crash reporting data is managed by Google’s secure infrastructure and follows their retention policies.
  • Ad-related data is managed by Google’s secure infrastructure and follows their retention policies.

We do not operate any servers that store your data.

5. Children’s Privacy

Our app does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take necessary actions.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. Changes are effective when posted on this page.
