1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Xovrix ("we", "us", or "our")
handles information in connection with the mobile game Slice Battle
(the "App", package name com.xovrix.slicebattle), available on the Google Play Store.
We built Slice Battle to be a fun, offline-friendly precision game. We designed it to collect as little information as possible. The App does not require you to create an account, sign in, or provide any personal details such as your name, email address, or phone number.
The main way information is processed is through Google AdMob, the third-party service we use to show ads. Please read the Advertising & Google AdMob section carefully, as Google may collect and use certain device and usage data to deliver and measure ads.
By downloading, installing, or using Slice Battle, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Privacy at a glance
3. Information we collect
3.1 Information you provide directly
None. Slice Battle has no registration, login, chat, or contact form. We do not ask you for, and you do not provide, personal information such as your name, email address, postal address, or phone number.
3.2 Information collected automatically (through ads)
When ads are served in the App, our advertising partner Google AdMob (and the Google Mobile Ads SDK bundled in the App) may automatically collect or receive certain information from your device to provide, personalize, cap, measure, and secure ads. This may include:
- Advertising identifier — the Google Advertising ID (a resettable, non-permanent ID used for ads).
- Device & technical information — device model, operating system version, language/region, screen size, and similar app/device settings.
- Network information — IP address (which can indicate coarse, city-level location) and network state/connectivity.
- Ad interaction & diagnostics — which ads were shown, viewed, or clicked, and related performance/crash and fraud-prevention data.
This data is collected and processed by Google in accordance with Google's own privacy policies. We ourselves do not receive your advertising ID or IP address in an identifiable form. See Advertising & Google AdMob.
3.3 Information we do not collect
Slice Battle does not collect, request, or access any of the following:
- Precise or GPS location
- Camera, microphone, photos, or media files
- Contacts, calendar, call logs, or SMS
- Health, financial, or payment information (the App has no in-app purchases)
- Your name, email, phone number, or other account credentials
4. Data stored on your device
To let you keep playing where you left off, the App saves your gameplay data locally on your device
using Android's standard app storage (SharedPreferences). This information stays on your device, is
not transmitted to us, and is not linked to your identity. It includes:
- Your score, coins, XP, and level
- Best/high scores and win/loss or streak progress
- Unlocked items and unlocked/equipped cutters
- Daily-reward and achievement/medal claim status
- Your in-app settings (e.g., music and sound-effects on/off)
- Whether you've seen the tutorial
You can erase this data at any time using the Reset Progress option in the App's Settings, or by clearing the App's storage or uninstalling the App from your device.
5. How we use information
Information is used only for the following purposes:
- To run the game — save and restore your progress, settings, and unlocked content on your device.
- To display advertising — show banner, interstitial (full-screen), and rewarded ads through Google AdMob, including optional rewarded ads that grant in-game rewards when you choose to watch them.
- To keep ads relevant and fair — Google uses the data described above to select ads, limit repetition (frequency capping), measure performance, and detect invalid activity/fraud.
- To maintain and improve the App — understand and fix crashes or technical problems via the ad SDK's diagnostic signals.
We do not use your information for building personal profiles about you outside of the advertising functions provided by Google.
6. Advertising & Google AdMob
Slice Battle uses Google AdMob to display ads. AdMob is an advertising service provided by Google LLC. To serve ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may access and process your device's advertising identifier and the technical/usage data described in Section 3.2.
Personalized vs. non-personalized ads
Depending on your region and your choices, Google may show personalized ads (based on prior activity/interests) or non-personalized ads (based only on coarse context such as the content of the App and approximate location). Where required by law (for example, in the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland), a consent prompt may be shown before personalized ads are served.
How Google uses data
Google's collection and use of data through AdMob is governed by Google's own privacy policy and partner terms. For details, and to understand how Google uses information from apps that use its services, please see:
- Google Privacy Policy
- How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services
- About AdMob and user privacy
Your ad choices
- Reset or delete your advertising ID: Android → Settings → Privacy / Google → Ads, where you can reset the ID or delete it entirely.
- Opt out of ad personalization: in the same Ads settings screen, turn on "Opt out of Ads Personalization" (older devices) or delete the advertising ID (newer devices).
- Consent choices (EEA/UK/CH): where a consent prompt is shown, you may decline or withdraw consent to personalized ads.
7. Third-party services
The App relies on the following third-party services, which have their own privacy policies:
| Service | Purpose | Privacy policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK) | Displaying and measuring in-app advertisements | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Google Play Services | Core services that support ads and the advertising ID on Android devices | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Google Play Store | App distribution, installation, and updates | Google Play Terms of Service |
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their policies.
8. App permissions
Slice Battle requests only the permissions needed to show ads and run reliably. Most are declared automatically by the Google Mobile Ads SDK and do not require you to grant anything manually.
| Permission | Why it's used |
|---|---|
INTERNET | Required to download and display ads. |
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE | Lets the ad SDK check connectivity before requesting ads. |
AD_ID / ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID | Access to the advertising ID used by AdMob to serve and measure ads. |
ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION, ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS | Support Android's Privacy Sandbox ad-attribution and topics features used by the ad SDK. |
WAKE_LOCK, FOREGROUND_SERVICE | Declared by bundled Google libraries to complete background tasks (such as ad delivery) reliably. |
The App does not request location, camera, microphone, storage-media, contacts, or SMS permissions.
9. Data sharing & disclosure
We do not sell or rent your personal information. Information may be shared only in these limited situations:
- With Google (AdMob / Play Services): as described above, to deliver and measure advertising.
- For legal reasons: if required to comply with a valid legal obligation, court order, or lawful government request, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users, the public, or us.
- Business transfer: if the App or our business is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Privacy Policy.
10. Data retention
- On-device game data is retained on your device until you use Reset Progress, clear the App's data, or uninstall the App.
- Advertising data collected by Google is retained and deleted according to Google's own retention policies. Please refer to the Google Privacy Policy.
11. Children's privacy
Slice Battle is a general-audience game and is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Because the App shows ads via Google AdMob, it is not intended for use by children as defined by the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the EU GDPR, or the Google Play Families Policy. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided information or should not be using the App, please contact us so we can address it.
12. Your privacy rights & choices
Regardless of where you live, you can:
- Clear your data — use Settings → Reset Progress in the App, or clear app storage / uninstall.
- Control ad tracking — reset or delete your advertising ID and opt out of ad personalization in your device settings (see Section 6).
If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland (GDPR)
You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Where processing is based on consent (such as personalized ads), you may withdraw that consent at any time. Because we do not maintain accounts or servers that store your personal data, requests relating to advertising data are generally handled by Google; you may also contact us and we will assist where we can.
If you are in California, USA (CCPA/CPRA)
You have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, to correct inaccurate information, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell your personal information. The sharing of identifiers with Google for advertising may be considered "sharing" under California law; you can limit this by opting out of ad personalization and resetting your advertising ID as described above. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.
13. Data security
We take reasonable measures to protect information. Your game progress is stored in the App's private, sandboxed storage on your device, which is not accessible to other apps under Android's security model. Data transmitted for advertising is handled by Google over encrypted connections. However, no method of transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
14. International users
The App is operated from Pakistan. Our advertising partner, Google, operates globally, and information processed for advertising may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, including the United States, where data-protection laws may differ. Such transfers are handled by Google in accordance with applicable legal safeguards described in the Google Privacy Policy.
15. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App, our practices, or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where the changes are significant, provide a more prominent notice. Your continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
