This Privacy Policy explains how Protocol: GhostGrid ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects your information when you play our mobile application (the "Game"). Please read this policy carefully.

1. Information We Collect

  • Device Account Identifiers: We collect a non-personally identifiable hardware key (such as Android ID or hashed device fingerprint) to generate your unique 0-login account key. This allows us to restore your cloud save progress across device reinstalls without requiring a password.
  • Player Call-Sign (Player Name): You may voluntarily create or edit a custom in-game Call-Sign (Player Name). Your Call-Sign is publicly displayed to other players during asynchronous matchmaking battles.
  • Game Progress Data: We automatically store your in-game progress, including earned virtual currencies (Gems, Gold, Blueprint Shards), unlocked Prime Drones, Companion Levels, Skins, and deployed Tactical Squad formations on our secure cloud database.

2. Third-Party Services & Technologies

The Game integrates third-party services that may collect information used to identify your device in accordance with their privacy policies:

  • Google Play Services: Used for core game functionality, achievements, and app updates. (Google Privacy Policy)
  • Google Play Billing API: Used to process secure in-app purchases (such as Gem Packs and Senior Architect Pass). We do not collect or store financial or credit card information. (Google Play Terms)
  • Google Mobile Ads (AdMob): Used to deliver optional rewarded video advertisements (e.g., Double Shards or Tactical Overclock Rerolls). AdMob may use device advertising IDs to deliver relevant ads. (Google Ad Policy)
  • Cloudflare Workers & D1 Database: Used for secure cloud save data storage and asynchronous player-versus-player matchmaking. (Cloudflare Privacy Policy)

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely to:

  • Save and restore your game progress, drone levels, and currency balances across devices.
  • Provide asynchronous player-versus-player (PvP) matchmaking encounters.
  • Process in-app purchases and grant virtual items or rewards.
  • Provide optional rewarded ad opportunities.
  • Maintain game balance and prevent cheating.
