Privacy Policy
The short version
- Playing needs no account. Signing in with Google is optional and only used to save your progress to the cloud.
- Without signing in, your progress is saved only on your phone. Your profile photo always stays on your phone.
- You can delete your account and its cloud save at any time from inside the game.
- We use Google Analytics for Firebase to see how the game is played (for example which levels are too hard). In the EEA, UK and Switzerland it only runs with your consent; it never collects your advertising ID and is never used for ads.
- Ads come from Google AdMob, which may use your advertising ID and similar data to show and measure ads.
- What we collect
- On your device
- Google sign-in
- Delete your account

This policy explains what information the mobile game Arrow Bird Escape
(package com.mhssolutions.arrowbirdescape, "the app") handles and why.
We keep data use to the minimum needed to run the game and show ads.
Information we do not collect
The app has no chat and no in-app purchases. Unless you choose to sign in with Google (see below), we (Ashborn Studio) do not collect your name, email address, contacts, photos, precise location, or any other personal information. The profile photo you can pick in the game is stored only on your phone and is never uploaded.
Information stored on your device
Your game progress (levels completed, stars, coins, best times, daily streak, missions, freed dragons) and settings (theme, sound, music) are saved only on your device. They are never sent to us. Uninstalling the app or clearing its data deletes them.
Optional sign-in with Google and cloud save
You can sign in with your Google account (the only sign-in method) to save your progress to the cloud and continue on another phone. If you do, the app uses Google Firebase (Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore, operated by Google for us) to store:
- your Google account's email address, name and a Firebase user ID, to identify your account;
- a copy of your game progress (levels, stars, coins, dragons, city, missions, player name and settings) and a random session ID used so that only one phone uses the account at a time.
This data is used only to provide the cloud save. It is not used for ads, not sold and not shared with anyone else. It is sent over encrypted connections and only your own signed-in account can read or change your save. Firebase's data handling is described in the Firebase privacy information.
Deleting your account and data
In the game, open Profile → Account → Delete account. This permanently deletes your Firebase account and your cloud save right away (progress on your phone stays until you uninstall the app or clear its data). You can also ask us to delete your account by emailing theashborn.dev@gmail.com from the Google account you used; we delete it within 30 days. Signing out keeps the cloud save so you can sign in again later.
Game analytics (Google Analytics for Firebase)
To improve the game we use Google Analytics for Firebase. It records gameplay events such as starting, finishing or failing a level, using a hint or booster, claiming a mission, and the length of a play session, together with basic device information (device model, operating system and app version, country derived from the IP address) and a random app-instance ID created by Firebase. It does not collect your advertising ID, your name, your email address or your profile photo, and its data is never used for advertising or ad personalization.
- In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, analytics storage stays switched off until you agree in the consent message shown when the game starts; you can change this at any time in Settings → Ad privacy options. Without consent, only anonymous signals without identifiers are sent.
- Analytics data is kept for 2 months and then deleted automatically.
See Firebase privacy information and the Google Privacy Policy.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
The app is free and supported by ads from Google AdMob:
- a banner ad at the bottom of the game screen, and
- optional rewarded video ads, shown only when you choose to watch one (for example, to get a hint).
To deliver and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google may collect and process information such as:
- your device's advertising ID (you can reset or delete it in your Android settings),
- IP address and the approximate location derived from it,
- device model, operating system and app version,
- ad interactions (for example, whether an ad was shown, tapped or watched) and diagnostic data.
Google's use of this data is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
Your choices and consent
- Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland), the app asks for your consent before personalized ads are shown, using Google's consent tool. You can change your choice at any time from Settings → Ad privacy options in the game.
- You can opt out of personalized ads for all apps in your Android settings (Settings → Google → Ads, or Settings → Privacy → Ads, depending on your device).
- Watching rewarded videos is always optional; the game can be played without them.
Game engine
The app is built with Unity. The engine may report technical crash or performance data needed to operate, which does not identify you personally. See the Unity privacy policy.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us and we will help remove it.
Security and retention
If you never sign in, we hold none of your data. If you sign in, your account and cloud save are kept until you delete them (see above). Data handled by Google AdMob is kept according to Google's policies.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date.
