5. Data Storage

5.1. Cloud Storage (Firebase Firestore)

Your account information and game progress are stored in Firebase Cloud Firestore, operated by Google. Data is stored on Google's servers and may be processed in data centers located worldwide.

5.2. Local Storage (PlayerPrefs)

Some game data is also stored locally on your device using Unity PlayerPrefs, including:

Display name, last login provider.
Game settings (sound, graphics preferences).
Temporary weapon/item data cache.
Apple Sign-In credentials (on iOS).
Pending OAuth deep-link data (for desktop web auth).

This local data is stored only on your device and is not accessible by us. You can clear this data by uninstalling the Game.

6. Data Security

We take the following measures to protect your data:

All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted over HTTPS/TLS.
User passwords are never stored or transmitted by us — authentication is fully delegated to Google and Apple.
Sensitive server-side operations (IAP verification, currency rewards, tournament logic) run through Firebase Cloud Functions, which prevents client-side tampering.
Time synchronization with trusted servers helps keep the game clock consistent and accurate.
Only the minimum required data is stored in our cloud database.

While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

The Game is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.
