Privacy Policy for Color Flood

Effective date: 18 September 2026

Last updated: 18 September 2026 · supersedes the version dated 29 August 2026

SoftMobiXBD ("we", "us") publishes the Color Flood mobile game (the "app"). This policy explains what the app does and does not do with information. It applies to the Android app published under the package name com.softmobixbd.color_foold.

The short version. Color Flood has no accounts and no sign-in, and we do not operate any servers of our own. Your progress lives only on your device. Two Google services receive data: Google AdMob, which serves the ads that fund the game, and Google Firebase, which sends us anonymous gameplay statistics and crash reports so we can fix bugs. You can switch Firebase off at any time in Settings → Share usage and crash data.

1. Usage statistics and crash reports (Google Firebase)

Color Flood requires no registration, no login, no email address, and no profile. To find out which parts of the game work and to fix crashes, the app uses two Google services, Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics. They send Google, and through Google us:

gameplay events — levels started and finished, the mode and difficulty, moves used, stars earned, hints and undos used, tutorial progress, and whether a reward video was watched;
screens visited and the length of play sessions;
device and app information — device model, operating system version, app version, and language;
approximate location — country or region, derived from your IP address;
crash reports — what the app was doing when it failed, the device's state at that moment, and a random installation identifier;
a random app-instance identifier that links events from the same installation. It is not your name, your Google account, or your advertising ID.

Firebase Analytics is configured not to collect the advertising ID, and none of this data is used for advertising. It is processed by Google on our behalf under the Firebase privacy and security terms.

Your choice. Turn off Settings → Share usage and crash data and the app stops sending both, and deletes any crash report that has not been sent yet.

2. Information stored on your device

The app saves your settings and progress locally using Android's SharedPreferences. This data never leaves your device, is not backed up to us, and is not readable by other apps. It consists of:

Settings — theme, chosen colour palette, colourblind mode, reduce-motion, haptics, sound effects, music, last difficulty played, whether you have finished the tutorial, and whether you share usage and crash data.
Progress — Journey stars and unlocked level, Daily Challenge streak, best streak and cleared dates, the current Zen board, wins and losses.
In-game currency — your coin balance and whether the "remove ads" entitlement is active.

None of this identifies you. You can erase all of it at any time from Settings → Reset all progress, and uninstalling the app removes it completely.

3. Advertising (Google AdMob)

Color Flood is free. It is funded by two kinds of ad, both served by Google AdMob:

optional reward videos — short ads you choose to watch in exchange for extra moves;
an occasional full-screen ad shown after you win a board, as you leave it. Never in the middle of a puzzle, never after a loss, not during your first few games, and at most one every three minutes.

To serve and measure ads, Google may collect and process:

your device's advertising identifier (Android Advertising ID);
approximate location, derived from your IP address;
device and app information — device model, operating system version, language, and the app the ad was shown in;
ad interaction data — that an ad was shown, viewed, or clicked.

This processing is governed by Google's own privacy terms, not ours. See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy.

Color Flood does not display banner ads, and never interrupts a puzzle in progress with an ad. Ads are limited to content suitable for a general audience.

Consent in the EEA and the UK

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, Color Flood shows a consent form the first time you open the app, asking whether Google and its advertising partners may use your data for personalised advertising. You can change your answer at any time from Settings → Ad privacy choices. Choosing "do not consent" does not restrict any part of the game.

Your choices about ads

You can simply not watch them. Reward videos are always optional — every board in the game is completable without one.
In the EEA and the UK, change your consent at any time from Settings → Ad privacy choices.
Reset or delete your advertising ID in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads. Choosing "Delete advertising ID" stops personalised advertising across all apps on the device.

4. Purchases

Any purchase offered inside Color Flood is processed entirely by Google Play Billing. We never see or store your payment card, billing address, or Google account details. The app asks Google Play only whether an entitlement is owned, and records the yes/no answer locally so that it survives a reinstall.

5. What the app does not do

Capability	Status in Color Flood
User accounts, login, or profiles	Not present
Push notifications	Not present — removed in version 2.0
Analytics or crash reporting	Present — Firebase, see section 1; can be switched off in Settings
Cloud save or leaderboards	Not present
Camera, microphone, contacts, photos, files	Never requested
Precise (GPS) location	Never requested
Selling or renting personal data	Never

The app uses its internet access only for ads, for usage statistics and crash reports, and for Google Play Billing. Every mode of the game — Journey, Daily Challenge and Zen — is fully playable offline.

6. Children

Color Flood is not directed to children under 13 and is rated for players aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information through the app, contact us and we will act on it.

7. Data retention and deletion

We keep no data about you on servers of our own. Usage statistics are kept by Google Firebase for no more than 14 months, and crash reports for 90 days, after which they are deleted automatically. Because this data is tied only to a random identifier, not to you, we cannot look up one person's records — but you can stop it being collected at any time from Settings → Share usage and crash data.

Data held on your device is under your control:

Settings → Reset all progress erases stars, streaks, statistics, and coins.
Uninstalling the app removes every stored value.
Advertising data held by Google is managed through your Google account and Android settings, as described in section 3.

8. Security

Game data is stored in the app's private storage area, which Android isolates from other apps. Network traffic to Google's advertising, Firebase, and billing services is encrypted in transit.

9. International use

Color Flood is available worldwide and this single policy applies in every region. Ads, usage statistics and crash reports are handled by Google, which may process data on servers outside your country under its own safeguards.

10. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date at the top of the page changes with it, and the current version is always published at this address. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes on Google Play.
