Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Penalty King: Shootout ("the app", "we", "us") handles information when you use the Penalty King: Shootout iOS application — an offline penalty-shootout arcade in which you take and save penalties against a fictional opponent.

1. Information we process

a. Game data on your device

Your results, streaks, best scores, stats and settings are stored only on your device. There is no account and we do not receive this data. "Reset statistics" in Settings clears it, and deleting the app removes it entirely.

b. Push notifications — Firebase Cloud Messaging

If you allow notifications, we use Firebase Cloud Messaging (part of Google Firebase) to send occasional reminders — for example, that a new Daily Challenge is available. Firebase assigns your installation a push token and processes basic device information needed to deliver these messages. You can turn notifications off at any time in iOS Settings, and the game works fully without them.

c. Attribution & advertising measurement — AppsFlyer

We use AppsFlyer to measure which marketing campaign led to your install. AppsFlyer processes device identifiers and install/session events. If you grant tracking permission, this may include the Apple Advertising Identifier (IDFA).

d. Diagnostics

We may receive aggregated crash and performance data to keep the app stable. This is not used to identify you.

2. App Tracking Transparency

iOS asks your permission before the app can track you across other apps and websites. If you deny, AppsFlyer will not use the IDFA. Penalty King: Shootout plays exactly the same either way — no feature is gated behind it. Change it any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

3. Third-party services

The services below process data on our behalf; their own policies apply:

• Google Firebase (Cloud Messaging push notifications) — firebase.google.com/support/privacy
• AppsFlyer (attribution) — appsflyer.com/legal

4. How we use information

• To send notifications you have opted into.
• To measure the effectiveness of our marketing.
• To keep the app secure and stable.

We do not sell your personal information.

5. Data retention

Data on your device remains until you reset statistics or delete the app. Data held by our providers (Firebase, AppsFlyer) follows their standard retention periods.

6. Children

Penalty King: Shootout is intended for a general audience aged 13 and older and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

7. Your choices

• Notifications — turn off any time in iOS Settings.
• Tracking — deny or revoke in iOS Settings.
• Game data — "Reset statistics" in the app's Settings.
• Requests — email us to ask a question or request deletion of data associated with your device.

8. Security

Any requests to our providers are sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect the limited data we process.

9. International users

Our providers may process data on servers outside your country. By using Penalty King: Shootout you understand your information may be transferred to and processed in those locations.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest version. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
