Drop4 — Privacy Policy
Drop4 is a single-player Connect-4 style game by AMG Studios ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the app handles and why. Short version: we keep it minimal — you can play without ever creating an account, we serve non-personalized ads, and the game's coins and gems are play money with no real-world value.
Information we collect
Game account & cloud save. When you first play, an anonymous account ID is created so your progress can be saved. If you choose to sign in with Google or Apple, we receive the email address and display name that provider shares, and link them to your account so your progress and cosmetics sync across devices. Your cloud save contains game data only: levels completed, currencies, cosmetics, characters, and settings.
Advertising. Ads are served by Google AdMob. We request non-personalized ads, meaning ads are based on context rather than a profile of you. AdMob may still process your device's advertising identifier and IP address to serve and measure ads and to prevent fraud, as described in Google's Privacy Policy. You can reset or limit your advertising ID in your device settings.
Analytics & diagnostics. We use Firebase to understand basic usage (for example, which game modes are played) and to diagnose crashes. This involves device information such as model, OS version, and app version.
What we don't do
- We don't sell your personal information.
- We don't show personalized/behavioral ads.
- We don't offer real-money gambling. Coins and gems are virtual items with no cash value; the in-game "wager" mode stakes play money only and nothing can be cashed out.
- We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.
Where your data lives
Account and save data are stored with Google Firebase (Authentication and Cloud Firestore). Ads are served by Google AdMob. These providers process data on our behalf under their own security and privacy commitments.
Deleting your account
You can permanently delete your account and cloud save at any time inside the app: Settings → Delete Account. This removes your account record and cloud save from our servers. You can also email us (below) and we'll delete it for you.
Your choices
- Play without signing in — the game is fully playable with just the anonymous session.
- Reset or limit your device advertising ID in system settings.
- Delete your account in-app, or by emailing us.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, we'll update this page and the effective date above.
