Versions covered
Android version 0.1.4 (20) and earlier contain no Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics or advertising SDK and send no gameplay telemetry to Orbita Labs. The Android version 0.1.5 (21), when distributed, adds the optional measurement and crash reporting described below. Firebase is not configured for the iOS version. We will update this page if these practices change.
Game data on your device
MergeFlare stores your best score, tutorial progress, preferences and analytics choice on your device. No player account or online leaderboard is required. You can clear local data using your device's app-storage controls or uninstall the app; device backups may retain or restore it.
Optional usage statistics on Android 0.1.5 and later
When you choose “Allow” in the game, Google Analytics for Firebase helps Orbita Labs understand the tutorial, games played and return visits. Events may include tutorial completion or skipping, games started and ended, progress checkpoints, score, moves, Rainbows, cascade length, a new local record and time spent in the game. Analytics also processes an app-instance identifier, session information, app version, device and operating-system information, and approximate region derived from the connection. We do not send your name or email as Analytics identifiers, request precise location, or use an advertising identifier.
You can decline and keep playing. You can change your choice on the home screen or under Menu → Statistics and crashes. Declining or withdrawing this choice stops optional gameplay analytics; it does not remove data already received by Google. Google Signals and granular city/device collection are disabled for this property, and it has no Google Ads or AdMob link.
Crash reports on Android 0.1.5 and later
With the same choice, Firebase Crashlytics helps diagnose crashes. A report may include an error message, stack trace, app state and version, device model, operating system, memory and disk information, a Crashlytics installation identifier and a Firebase installation identifier. We do not add a name, email or custom user ID. Automatic upload of crash reports is disabled: after a crash, the report may be stored locally and sent on the next launch only if the choice remains enabled. Withdrawing the choice discards reports waiting to be sent; it does not erase reports already received.
Technical Firebase data
Android versions containing Firebase also include Firebase Installations and Firebase Sessions. According to Google's SDK documentation, these components can automatically process a per-installation identifier, app and device metadata, network connection type and session-start information to operate Firebase and provide crash-quality metrics. This technical processing may occur even if you decline optional gameplay statistics and crash reporting.
Google processing, sharing and retention
Google provides Firebase and Analytics services to Orbita Labs. The Analytics account's optional settings currently permit Google to use aggregated, anonymized measurement data for models and business insights and to access account data for technical support and product recommendations. The separate option to share data to improve Google products and services is disabled. No Google Ads or AdMob account is linked to this Analytics property. See Google's Privacy Policy, Firebase privacy information and Analytics retention information.
Retention for Analytics user-level and event-level data is set to two months without renewal on new user activity. This setting does not limit all standard aggregated reports. Crashlytics and other Firebase technical data have separate Google retention rules. Data are encrypted in transit and may be processed outside your country under Google's applicable safeguards.
Advertising, sharing and support
MergeFlare does not display ads, include AdMob in the game or offer in-app purchases. Sharing a game result is optional: the app opens your device's share sheet, and you choose the recipient and service. Orbita Labs does not receive a copy. If you contact orbitalabs@outlook.com, we receive your email address and the information you provide and use it to respond. Please do not send passwords, payment details or identity documents.
Your choices and rights
You can withdraw optional Analytics and Crashlytics reporting in the app. To ask about access or deletion of information held by Orbita Labs, contact the email above. Because the game has no named account, identifying information already sent from one installation may require additional details and may be limited by Google's service controls. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, erase or restrict processing of personal data and to complain to your data protection authority.
Children and platform services
The game does not ask players to submit personal details. If you believe a child has provided information to Orbita Labs through support, contact us. Google Play and Apple may independently provide store statistics or diagnostics under their own settings and privacy policies.
Updates
We update this policy when data practices change and show the effective date above.
