Privacy Policy

The Perfect Gap | Aethoryn Studios
Last updated: October 18, 2026

1. Introduction

Aethoryn Studios develops and publishes The Perfect Gap. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and shared when you play our game.

2. Game Progress and Local Storage

The Perfect Gap stores game progress, scores, settings, achievements, and preferences locally on your device. This information is used to maintain your progress and improve your gameplay experience.

Certain information, such as usernames and high scores, may also be stored online when cloud-based features are available.

3. Firebase Services

The Perfect Gap integrates Google Firebase services to support player identification and online leaderboard functionality.

These services may include:

• Firebase Authentication: Anonymous authentication allows the game to assign a unique identifier to a player without requiring an email address or password.
• Cloud Firestore: May store player usernames, high scores, anonymous user identifiers, and score update timestamps for leaderboard functionality.
• Firebase App Check: May use Google Play Integrity to help verify legitimate application requests and protect backend services against unauthorized access.

Player usernames and high scores may be visible to other players through the worldwide leaderboard. Please avoid including personal or sensitive information in your username.

Firebase services are provided by Google and may process technical information required for authentication, security, and service operation.

4. Advertising

The Perfect Gap may display advertisements provided by Google AdMob, including interstitial and rewarded advertisements.

Google and its advertising partners may collect or process advertising identifiers, device information, IP addresses, and advertising interaction data for advertising delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and, where permitted, personalization.

Where required, advertising consent choices may be presented to players.

5. Google Play Games

The Perfect Gap integrates Google Play Games services for supported features such as achievements and player-related gaming functionality.

When you use these features, Google may process information associated with your Google Play Games profile, including achievement progress and gaming identifiers, according to Google's privacy policies.

Google Play Games and Firebase Authentication are separate services. Anonymous Firebase identification does not require players to provide an email address.

6. Data Sharing

Aethoryn Studios does not directly sell personal information.

Information may be processed by third-party service providers, including Google Firebase, Google Play Games, and Google AdMob, as necessary to provide game functionality, advertising, analytics associated with those services, and security.

Public leaderboard information, such as usernames and high scores, may be displayed to other players.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

Locally stored game progress can generally be removed by clearing the application's data or uninstalling the game, subject to device backup and restoration settings.

Uninstalling the game does not necessarily remove information previously stored in Firebase or Google Play Games.

Online leaderboard records may be retained until they are deleted by Aethoryn Studios or the associated service, or until they are no longer needed for their intended purpose.

You may request deletion of information controlled by Aethoryn Studios, including associated online leaderboard records, by contacting us at the email address below. We may request limited information to identify the relevant record before processing a request.

8. Children's Privacy

The Perfect Gap is not specifically directed at children. We do not knowingly request personal information directly from children.

If you believe a child has provided personal information that should be removed, please contact us.

9. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information within our control.

Security measures may include Firebase Authentication, database access rules, and Firebase App Check with Google Play Integrity. The availability and enforcement of these protections may vary by application version.

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as The Perfect Gap evolves. Changes will be published on this page with a revised update date.
