Welcome to Gospel Games! We are committed to protecting your privacy and providing a safe, enjoyable experience as you engage with our daily games. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use the Gospel Games mobile application ("App").

By using Gospel Games, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

If you choose to create an account and log in, we collect:

• Your name

When you are logged into your account, we automatically track and store your gameplay statistics, such as:

• Achievements
• Daily streaks

This data is securely stored using Google Firebase Realtime Database or Firestore, and is associated only with your account.

You can play Gospel Games without creating an account or logging in. In this case:

• We do not collect your name, email, or any personal information.
• We do not track or store your gameplay statistics.
• All gameplay is anonymous and remains on your device only.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information only for the following purposes:

• To authenticate your account via Firebase
• To save and sync your game progress and stats across devices (if logged in)
• To send optional notifications (e.g., daily game reminders), only if you’ve granted permission
• To improve the App and fix bugs

3. Use of Firebase by Google

Gospel Games uses Google Firebase to support the following services:

• Authentication: To securely log you in using your email.
• Cloud Storage (Firestore/Realtime Database): To store your name, email, and game statistics if you are logged in.
• Cloud Messaging (FCM): To send optional push notifications, such as reminders or updates (only with your permission).

Firebase may collect certain usage and diagnostic data (e.g., device type, IP address, app usage patterns) in an anonymized form to improve performance and security. This is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy.

We do not control Google’s data practices. For more information, please review: https://policies.google.com/privacy

4. Advertising

Gospel Games displays advertisements in the free version of the App. These ads are served by third-party ad networks. We do not share your personal information (name, email, game stats) with advertisers.

Ads may use non-personal, aggregated usage data to serve relevant content, but no personally identifiable information is shared.

5. Ad-Free Subscription

You can subscribe to an ad-free experience in Gospel Games. This subscription:

• Removes all advertisements from the App
• Is processed securely through Apple App Store, Google Play, or other payment platforms (we do not store your payment details)
• Does not change our data practices — your personal information remains protected and is never sold

6. Data Sharing and Security

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing or any other purposes.

Your data is stored securely in Google Firebase, which uses industry-standard security measures, including encryption in transit and at rest. Access to your data is limited to essential app functions and authorized personnel only.

7. Data Retention

• Your account and game data are retained as long as your account remains active.
• You may delete your account at any time by contacting us at [Insert Support Email].
• Upon receiving a deletion request, we will permanently remove your personal data from Firebase within 30 days.
• Anonymous gameplay (when not logged in) is not stored or tracked.

8. Push Notifications

If you enable push notifications, we may send you occasional updates, such as:

• Daily game reminders
• Special events or new features

You can disable notifications at any time through your device settings.

9. Children’s Privacy

Gospel Games is family-friendly and appropriate for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a child without parental consent, we will take steps to remove it promptly.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date and notify users through the App or via email (if contact info is available). We encourage you to review this page periodically.
