Privacy Policy

This policy applies to CS Teams by A Byte of Everything (com.mani.csteams), a single-player management game set in the fictional Clutch Striker universe.

1. The short version

CS Teams has no accounts, no sign-up and no cloud saves. Your game lives entirely on your device. The app collects a small set of anonymous, aggregate counters (for example how many times a rewarded ad was watched), shows ads through Google AdMob, and validates in-app purchases with Google Play. Nothing WE receive can identify you; the AdMob advertising ID described in section 3 goes to Google, not to us.

2. What the app collects

• Anonymous usage counters. Simple totals such as weeks played, rewarded ads requested and watched per screen, and in-game store purchases per shelf. Each event is a counter name and a small number — no name, no email, no save data, no device identifier, no location. Requests are authenticated with an anonymous Firebase user id that exists only so the endpoint is not open to the whole internet; it is not stored with any counter.
• Purchase validation. When you buy something with real money, the app sends the Google Play purchase receipt to our server, which confirms it with Google before the item is granted. The server keeps the Play order id and product id so a purchase is only counted once — nothing about who made it.
• Crash-free basics. Standard server logs (timestamps, response codes) kept briefly by Google Cloud for operating the service.

3. Advertising

Optional rewarded ads are served by Google AdMob. You always choose to watch an ad; nothing plays on its own. To serve and measure those ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK uses your device's advertising ID - a resettable identifier that Android provides for advertising, which you can reset or delete at any time in Settings → Privacy → Ads. We never see it, never store it and never join it to anything else; it is used by Google for advertising and ad measurement, as described in Google’s Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from ads. We do not receive any personal data from AdMob — only the same anonymous counters described above.

4. Purchases

All payments are processed by Google Play. We never see or store your payment details. Google’s handling of payment data is covered by Google’s own policies.

5. What the app does NOT do

• No account creation, no email, no password, no profile.
• No cloud saves — your progress exists only on your device.
• No contact list, camera, microphone, or location access.
• No selling or sharing of personal data — there is none to sell.

6. Children

The app does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. The counters described above are anonymous and aggregate by construction.

7. Data deletion

Uninstalling the app (or clearing its data in device settings) removes everything stored on your device. Because the server-side counters are anonymous aggregates, they contain nothing that identifies you and therefore nothing that can be located or deleted by identity. Full details: Delete your account & data.

8. Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the date above changes with it.
