1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how LODEFLARE handles information when you use the mobile game or visit lodeflare.com. We aim to collect only what is needed to operate online features such as recovery, cloud progress and leaderboards.
2. Information we may process
- Online player identity: internal account identifier and chosen nickname.
- Gameplay and cloud progress needed to restore or synchronize the game.
- Leaderboard data such as nickname, level and verified progression values.
- Authentication identifiers or tokens supplied through Google Play Games and our backend. We do not ask for or receive your Google password.
- Limited technical, error or security data processed by infrastructure providers to operate and protect the service.
- Basic gameplay activity statistics associated with an internal account identifier, including completed mining rounds, total playtime, highest local level, activity dates and app build type. We may also process your selected country for country-based leaderboards.
3. Why we process this information
We use this information to provide profiles and leaderboards, save and restore cloud progress, link supported platform sign-in, support account recovery, and protect service integrity. We also use gameplay activity statistics to understand player engagement, improve game balance, monitor usage trends and diagnose technical issues.
4. Service providers
LODEFLARE uses Google Play Games Services for supported platform sign-in and game services, Supabase for backend accounts, profiles, cloud saves and leaderboards, Cloudflare for website hosting, DNS, security and content delivery, and Google AdMob for advertising. Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) is used to request and manage privacy choices where required. These providers operate under their own terms and privacy practices.
5. Advertising and purchases
LODEFLARE may display ads through Google AdMob, including optional rewarded ads and interstitial ads. The Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and share IP address (which can be used to estimate general location), user interactions such as app launches, taps and video views, diagnostic information, and device or account identifiers for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention. Depending on your region and choices, ads may be personalized or non-personalized/limited. Where required, LODEFLARE uses Google’s consent messages and provides an in-app privacy-options entry point so you can review or change available choices. LODEFLARE does not offer in-app purchases.
6. Sharing, retention and deletion
We do not sell personal information. Online profile and cloud data may be retained while your account remains active. You can delete your account in-game or use our Delete Account page. Provider backups or retention processes may take additional time to clear.
7. Children and younger users
LODEFLARE is not specifically designed for children under 13. Age-related privacy requirements may vary by country or region.
8. Security
We use encrypted HTTPS/TLS connections and established providers for authentication and backend infrastructure. No online system can be guaranteed completely secure.
