Privacy Policy for Cyber Saber
Last updated: July 19, 2025

1. Introduction
Welcome to Cyber Saber (“we,” “us,” or “our”), developed by HatCat Games. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data is collected when you play Cyber Saber and how it’s used—primarily by our third‑party partners (Google AdMob and Firebase).

2. Information We Collect
We do not collect or store any personal information ourselves. The only data exchanged is through Google’s SDKs:

• Device or Other IDs

  • What: Google Advertising ID, device model, OS version, language settings.

  • How: Read at app launch by the AdMob SDK for ad targeting and measurement.

• High‑Score Events

  • What: Player identifier (anonymized or randomly generated ID), score value, timestamp.

  • How: Sent to your Firebase Realtime Database (or Firestore) to store and retrieve leaderboards.

3. Third‑Party Services & Data Sharing
All data collection and processing is performed by Google’s services under their own policies:

• Google AdMob

  • Data Collected: Advertising ID, ad interaction events (impressions, clicks).

  • Purpose: Serve and measure in‑app ads.

  • Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

• Firebase (High‑Score Storage Only)

  • Data Collected: Anonymized user ID, score, timestamp.

  • Purpose: Store and retrieve game high scores.

  • Policy: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy

We do not have access to any other personal data—only what these SDKs automatically handle.

4. Data Security & Encryption

• All data in transit to Google’s servers uses HTTPS/TLS (v1.2 or higher).

• No user data is stored on our own servers in identifiable form.

5. Children’s Privacy
Cyber Saber is rated for users 13 +. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Any data created via AdMob or Firebase SDKs is managed by Google under COPPA‑compliant controls.

6. Your Privacy Rights
Because we do not directly collect or control your personal data, please refer to Google’s user‑data controls:

• Ad Settings & Data: You can review, modify, or opt out of personalized advertising at https://adssettings.google.com.

• Firebase Data: For any requests about data held by Firebase, see https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy or contact Firebase support.

If you ever have a question about data held in our Firebase high‑score store (for example, you want your anonymized scores deleted), please email us at privacy@hcatgames.com with your game‑assigned user ID or the email you used (if you signed in). We will forward your request to Firebase and confirm once complete.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy; the “Last updated” date at the top reflects the latest revision. Please check back periodically.
