PHOTON
Privacy Policy · Last updated 26 September 2026
PHOTON ("the app") is a puzzle game published by Suli Sardam. This page explains what the app collects, why, and what you can do about it.
What we collect
| Data | Why | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Player name you type in the app | Shown next to your score on the public leaderboards | Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore) |
| Scores (levels cleared; Daily Challenge result and date) | Ranking on the leaderboards | Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore) |
| Advertising ID, device and app information, approximate location from IP address | Serving the optional rewarded ads and measuring them | Google AdMob |
The player name and scores are public: anyone using the app can see them. Do not use your real name or any personal information as your player name.
The app does not ask for an account, email address, contacts, photos, precise location or microphone access.
Data kept only on your device
Your level progress, stars, streak, language, theme and sound settings are stored on your phone and never leave it. Uninstalling the app deletes them.
Ads and consent
Ads in PHOTON are optional: one plays only when you choose to watch it for a reward (an extra life or a hint). Ads are provided by Google AdMob, which processes data as described in Google's policy.
If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, the app asks for your consent through Google's consent form before any ad is requested. You can reset your Advertising ID or opt out of personalised ads in your phone's settings (Settings → Google → Ads on Android; Settings → Privacy → Tracking on iOS).
