Glowslide: Privacy Policy

Last updated: 31 October 2026

Glowslide is a puzzle game for Android made by an independent developer ("we"). This policy explains what data the game handles. In short: the game has no accounts and does not ask for your name, email or contacts. Ads are served by Google AdMob, and anonymous gameplay statistics and crash reports go to Google Firebase, as described below.

Data stored on your device

Your progress (solved levels, stars, coins, settings, streak) is saved only on your phone. If Android backup is on, Android may include this save in your own Google account backup, so it can come back after a reinstall. We cannot see it.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, and to prevent fraud, AdMob may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address, approximate location derived from it, device and app information, and how you interact with ads. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, and wherever the law requires it, the game asks for your consent first through Google's consent message, and you can change your choice any time in Settings → Privacy options. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings. See how Google uses data from apps that use its services.

Gameplay statistics and crash reports (Google Firebase)

To learn which levels are too hard and to fix bugs, the game sends anonymous events to Google Firebase Analytics (for example: a level was started, solved or left, with the number of moves, hints and time; a hint or reward ad was used; a purchase was made) together with an app-instance ID, device and app information and an approximate location derived from the IP address. If the game crashes, Firebase Crashlytics receives a crash report (the error, device model and Android version). Where consent is required, analytics storage follows the choice you made in the consent message. The game also downloads its tuning values (such as prices and ad limits) from Firebase Remote Config.

Purchases (Google Play)

Purchases are handled by Google Play. We receive only a purchase confirmation (a token and the product), which the game keeps on your device to unlock what you bought. We never see your payment details.

Notifications

If you turn on the daily reminder, it is scheduled on your phone. No data is sent anywhere for it.

Children

Glowslide is made for adults and is not directed at children under 13.

Sharing and selling

We do not sell your data. Data is shared only with Google as described above, and it is encrypted in transit.

Deleting your data

Uninstalling the game, or clearing its storage in Android settings, deletes everything the game saved. For ad data, use your device's ad settings or Google's controls linked above. Detailed analytics events are deleted by Google Analytics after 14 months (the retention period we set); to ask for earlier deletion, write to the address below.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date. Questions: adlgpy@gmail.com.
