About Hangman Adventures · Other JBUS Entertainment services

Information we process and why

Local gameplay: Your device stores progress, completed levels, stars, word discoveries, daily challenge results, coins, lives and refill times, power-ups, avatar choices and preferences so you can play and resume the game. Guest play does not require a Google or Apple recovery account. Using online features sends the information needed for those features to our service.
Google or Apple sign-in: If you choose to sign in, Firebase Authentication processes your provider account identifier, authentication tokens and basic profile information made available by the provider, which can include your name, email address and profile picture. Apple may provide a private relay email address. We use this information to authenticate you, associate your game account with you and provide account recovery and cloud saves. We do not receive your Google or Apple password, or request access to your mail, contacts, calendar or files.
Cloud saves: Signed-in accounts can upload and restore game progress, inventories, reward claims, active rounds, lives/refill times and game preferences. Saves are associated with your Firebase user ID and stored using Cloudflare infrastructure. A previous cloud revision is retained for recovery. Signing out stops account-based cloud access but does not remove the device save.
Leaderboards and friends: Online play processes your game profile ID, chosen player name, avatar, friend code, friend-list relationships, scores and challenge results to operate rankings and friend comparisons. Your game name, avatar, scores and friend code may be visible to other players through these features. Your sign-in email and provider credentials are not included in public leaderboard or friend responses. Friends are added using game codes; the game does not import Facebook friends or your phone contacts.
Google Play Games: On Android, Google Play Games processes your Play Games identity and authentication information for platform sign-in. Play Games sign-in is separate from Google/Apple recovery sign-in used for cross-platform cloud saves. Google manages your Play Games profile under its own privacy settings.
Notifications: If you enable notifications, Firebase Cloud Messaging and, on iOS, Apple Push Notification service process a device registration token and delivery information to send game updates. You can turn notifications off in the game or your device settings. Notification permission is optional.
Service operation: Requests to online services expose technical information such as IP address, request times and device/app/network information to our hosting and service providers. This information is used to deliver requests, investigate failures, prevent abuse and protect the service.
Support: If you contact us, we process your email address, message and information you choose to provide to answer your request. Please do not send passwords, payment card details or sign-in tokens.

Advertising and purchases

The game integrates Google AdMob for interstitial and optional rewarded advertising. When ad serving is enabled in your version, Google and its partners may process advertising identifiers, IP address, approximate location derived from IP, device/app information and ad interactions to deliver and measure ads, prevent fraud and, where permitted and consented, personalize ads. Reward completion information is used to grant the offered in-game reward. Availability can vary by version, region and consent choice; development builds may use test ads.

Where required, an advertising consent message lets you choose whether to allow relevant data processing. Use the privacy/consent controls offered by your version and your device advertising settings to manage your choices. Declining optional consent does not authorize additional data use; available ads and rewards can differ by region and configuration.

Where store purchases are enabled, Google Play or Apple handles payment details. We do not receive your full payment card information. Product, transaction and entitlement information may be processed to fulfill purchases, restore access and prevent fraud. Purchases are unavailable in builds where the store integration is not enabled.

Service providers and sharing

We use Google Firebase for authentication and messaging, Cloudflare for the game API, cloud-save storage and website/network delivery, Google Play Games on Android, Google AdMob for advertising when enabled, and Apple for Apple sign-in, iOS notification delivery and store services. These providers process information necessary to operate their services. Their policies describe their own processing:

We do not sell your Google account data or use it for advertising. Google account data is used to provide the account features described above, not to train general-purpose AI models. We do not share private cloud saves with other players. We may disclose information when legally required, to respond to a valid legal request, or where necessary to investigate abuse and protect users and the service.

Retention and deletion

Local progress remains on your device until you remove the app or clear its data, subject to your operating system backup settings. Cloud account and gameplay records are kept while the account exists to support recovery and online features; the current and previous cloud saves are replaced as you synchronize. Signing out or uninstalling alone does not delete server records.

To request deletion of your Hangman Adventures account, cloud saves, game profile, rankings and associated game records, email contact@jbusentertainment.com with the subject “Hangman Adventures data deletion” and your game player ID or the email associated with sign-in. Do not send a password. We may ask for proportionate proof of account ownership before acting. You can also request deletion of particular data or a copy/correction of your information through this address.

Deletion of game records does not delete your Google or Apple account, store transaction records held by those providers, or copies on other devices. Limited records may be retained where necessary for legal obligations, resolving disputes or preventing abuse. Provider backups and operational logs are removed according to the applicable provider retention processes. You can remove the app's Google account access through Google Account connections or stop using Apple sign-in through Apple account settings; revoking access is separate from requesting deletion.

Your choices and rights

You can use local guest play, choose whether to sign in for recovery features, sign out, control notifications and manage available advertising consent choices. Participation in online rankings and code-based friend features exposes the game profile information described above. Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of personal information, object to or restrict processing, withdraw consent, and complain to your local data protection authority. Contact us to exercise applicable rights. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already performed lawfully.

Security and international processing

We use HTTPS for online service connections and authenticated access controls for account-based cloud saves. No service can guarantee absolute security. Our providers may process information in countries other than your own, under their applicable data protection commitments and safeguards.

Children

Hangman Adventures is intended for a general audience aged 13 and older and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate steps to remove it. Where local law sets a higher age for consent, the applicable requirements apply.
