Privacy Policy
This policy applies to the mobile game "Cue Buddies" (Korean title "λλ€ λΉκ΅¬μ₯", the "Game").
1. We run no servers
The Game works without any backend operated by us. Your coin balance, level/XP, nickname, and match history are stored only on your device β no account is required and nothing is sent to us. Deleting the app deletes this data. The one exception is online matches with a friend: Photon Cloud (see Β§2) relays the match in real time, and connection data (IP, session ID) is processed by Photon for that purpose.
2. Third-party services
The Game uses the following platform services and SDKs, each processing data under its own privacy policy.
| Service | Purpose | Data handled | Policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Play Games (Android) | Optional sign-in, cloud save | Player ID, profile nickname | |
| Apple Game Center (iOS) | Optional sign-in | Player ID, alias | Apple |
| Google Play / App Store in-app purchases | Coin packs | Payments are handled entirely by the store β we never receive your payment details, only purchase receipt validation data | Store policies |
| Google AdMob | Rewarded ads (free coins) | Advertising ID, device info, coarse location (IP) | AdMob |
| Photon Cloud (Photon Engine / Exit Games GmbH, EU) | Relaying online matches with friends | Nickname, connection info (IP, session ID) | Photon |
Signing in is optional; every game feature is available as a guest.
3. What's visible in online matches
In friend room-code matches, your opponent sees only your nickname and a fixed avatar. There is no chat or free-text input. Connection data (IP, session ID) is processed by Photon only to relay game state β we do not store it. To report an inappropriate nickname or similar, use the Report button on the results screen to reach us by email ([email protected]).
4. Advertising choices
- Rewarded ads play only when you tap the button yourself.
- You can limit ad personalization in your device settings (Android: delete/reset advertising ID; iOS: App Tracking Transparency β the app asks for tracking permission separately).
5. Children
The Game is not directed at children under 14 (or the applicable minimum age in your region, e.g. 13 under COPPA / 16 under GDPR), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
6. Your rights
Since game data lives only on your device, uninstalling the app erases it. For data tied to your platform account (Google/Apple), use that platform's account settings to review or delete it. For anything else, contact us at the address above β we respond without undue delay. Depending on your residence (e.g. EEA/UK GDPR, US state laws), you may have rights to access, delete, or object; we honor requests to the extent the data exists at all (see Β§1).
7. Changes
If future features (e.g. a cloud backend) change what is processed, we will revise this policy and post the update in-app and on this page with a new effective date.
