Privacy Policy
Effective date: June 12, 2026
Who We Are
This Privacy Policy explains how Searwoy - word search, a mobile word-search game for Android, handles information.
Developer/publisher: rewernator
Android package name: com.rewernator.searwoy
Privacy contact email: marcin.rewertyn@gmail.com
Information We Collect
The game is designed to run without an account. The information handled by the game depends on your use of local game features, purchases, and your privacy choice for analytics and crash reporting.
Local Game Progress
The game stores progress on your device, including completed levels, boards in progress, unlocked categories, coins, keys, settings, and related gameplay state. This information is used to let you continue playing and restore your progress on the same device.
Consent Preferences
The game stores your choice to accept or decline analytics and crash reporting. This preference is stored locally on your device.
Analytics Data
If you accept analytics, the game may send event data to Firebase Analytics. This may include app start events, gameplay and shop interactions, purchase-flow events, virtual currency events, app version, platform, and a generated session hash. This helps us understand how the game is used and improve the game.
Crash and Diagnostic Data
If you accept crash reporting, the game may send crash reports and diagnostic information to Firebase Crashlytics. This may include crash logs, exception information, app version, Unity version, platform, network reachability, and sanitized diagnostic details related to purchase errors. This helps us find and fix bugs.
Purchase-Related Data
If you make an in-app purchase, the purchase is processed by Google Play. The game may receive purchase status, product identifiers, receipt or transaction information, and related purchase confirmation data so it can grant purchased items or restore purchases. Payment card and billing details are handled by Google Play and are not collected directly by the developer.
Device and Technical Data
Firebase, Google Play, and Unity purchase services may process technical information such as device/app identifiers, app version, platform, diagnostics, IP address, and network metadata as needed to provide analytics, crash reporting, purchases, fraud prevention, security, and service delivery.
Information We Do Not Collect
Based on the reviewed game features, the game does not include account registration and does not ask you to provide your name, email address, phone number, password, or profile information inside the app.
- We do not collect private messages or chat content.
- We do not collect photos or videos through a camera feature.
- We do not record microphone audio.
- We do not access your contacts.
- We do not collect precise GPS location.
- We do not collect Advertising ID when the release build removes the AD_ID permission as configured.
How We Use Information
- To operate the game and save your progress.
- To remember your privacy choice.
- To process and restore in-app purchases.
- To understand gameplay and app interactions if you accept analytics.
- To diagnose crashes, bugs, and purchase issues if you accept crash reporting.
- To protect purchases from duplicate grants, fraud, or technical errors.
- To comply with legal, platform, and security requirements.
Third-Party Services
The game may use the following third-party services. These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and service terms.
- Firebase Analytics for optional analytics after consent.
- Firebase Crashlytics for optional crash reports and diagnostics after consent.
- Google Play for in-app purchase processing, payment handling, purchase confirmation, and restore flows.
- Unity / Unity In-App Purchasing for purchase integration and related app functionality.
Advertising
Game does not include an active advertising SDK, and ads are disabled in the game code. Earlier legacy versions of the game may have included third-party advertising features. These versions could display ads and may have allowed advertising providers to process certain technical data, such as device information, advertising identifiers, app interaction data, and ad performance data, in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Analytics and Crash Reporting Choices
On first launch, the game asks whether you want to allow anonymous analytics and crash reports. If you decline, Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics collection are not enabled by the game's consent-gated startup flow. You can reopen the privacy choice from the game's settings where available.
In-App Purchases
In-app purchases are processed by Google Play. The game receives purchase confirmation and product status so it can grant purchased content or virtual currency and restore purchases. The developer does not directly collect or store your payment card, bank account, or full billing information.
Local Storage
The game stores progress and settings locally on your device. Local data may include saved boards, completed levels, unlocked categories, coins, keys, purchase-grant status, and privacy preferences. Uninstalling the app or clearing app data may remove this local data unless your device or platform restores it through backup features outside the app.
Children's Privacy
Our game is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed to children under the age of 13, or the equivalent minimum age required by applicable law in the user’s jurisdiction.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. The game does not require account registration, does not ask users to provide their name, email address, phone number, photos, messages, or other personal contact information, and does not include social features, public profiles, or user-generated content sharing.
If the game uses analytics, crash reporting, advertising, in-app purchases, or other third-party services, such services may process limited technical, device, usage, or transaction-related information as described in this Privacy Policy and in the privacy policies of those third-party service providers.
If you are a parent or legal guardian and you believe that your child has provided personal information to us, or that personal information about your child has been collected in a way that is not described in this Privacy Policy, please contact us at: marcin.rewertyn@gmail.com. We will review the request and take reasonable steps to delete such information where required by applicable law.
We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s use of apps, games, and online services.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, including the EEA, UK, California, and other regions with privacy laws, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent for personal data. Because the game does not use accounts, we may need information from you to locate any data connected to your request.
You can decline analytics and crash reporting in the game privacy choice. You may also control app permissions, app data, and Google Play settings through your device settings.
Data Retention
- Local progress and settings remain on your device until you delete them, clear app data, or uninstall the app.
- Local purchase-grant records are kept to avoid duplicate grants and support purchase restoration.
- Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics data are retained by Google/Firebase according to their own retention settings and policies.
- Support messages, if you contact us outside the app, may be kept as long as needed to respond, resolve the issue, and comply with legal obligations.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures for the game data we control. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Processing
Third-party services such as Firebase, Google Play, and Unity may process information on servers in different countries. Those providers are responsible for their own international transfer and processing practices.
Google Play Data Safety Summary
The Google Play Data Safety form for this game should reflect that the game may collect or share app activity, crash diagnostics, device or other identifiers, and purchase-related information depending on consent and user actions. Local gameplay progress is stored on the device. Advertising ID and active ad data should not be declared unless a final release build includes an ad SDK or AD_ID permission.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the game changes, when services change, or when legal or platform requirements change. When we update it, we will change the effective date above.
