Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 24, 2026

Flower Match is a flower-matching puzzle game with optional account sign-in, cloud save, and advertising. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app stores or processes, how it is used, when it may be shared, and what choices are available to players.

1. Information We Collect

Flower Match may store or process the following categories of information.

A. Information stored locally on your device

• game progress and unlocked levels
• stars, coins, gems, boosters, rewards, achievements, and inventory
• daily reward, event, and game-mode progress
• garden state and unlocked decorative items
• app settings and preferences, such as sound and haptics

B. Account and sign-in information

If you choose to sign in, the app uses Firebase Authentication and may process:

• your user ID
• display name
• email address
• account creation, verification, and password-reset status needed to manage access

C. Cloud save information

If you sign in, the app may store a cloud save in Google Firebase Cloud Firestore so your progress can sync across devices. That cloud save may include:

• level progress and stars
• inventory values such as coins, gems, hearts, and boosters
• daily reward and event progress
• garden progress and unlocked items
• timestamps used to resolve the latest save state

D. Advertising information

The app uses Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to show banner ads and rewarded ads. When ads are requested, loaded, displayed, or measured, Google and its partners may process information such as device and app information, identifiers, IP address, approximate location, diagnostic information, and ad interaction information according to their own policies.

2. How We Use Information

• save your gameplay progress, inventory, and settings
• enable sign-in and account access
• sync your cloud save across devices when you choose to sign in
• maintain account security, verification, and password reset flows
• show and measure ads, including rewarded ads you choose to watch
• troubleshoot, maintain, and improve app functionality

3. When We Share Information

We may share information in the following circumstances.

A. With service providers

We use third-party service providers to operate the app, including Google Firebase and Google Mobile Ads (AdMob). These providers may process information on our behalf or for their own service-delivery purposes to support authentication, cloud storage, advertising, fraud prevention, and security.

B. For legal, safety, or business reasons

We may disclose information if required to comply with law, enforce our rights, protect users or the public, or in connection with a merger, sale, or transfer of the app or related assets.

We do not describe the app as selling personal information.

4. Third-Party Services

Flower Match currently uses or integrates with:

• Google Firebase Authentication
• Google Firebase Cloud Firestore
• Google Mobile Ads (AdMob)

These services may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

5. What The Current Build Does Not Include

At the time of this policy update, the current Flower Match build does not currently include:

• Google, Facebook, or Apple sign-in in the live Amazon build
• in-app chat or direct messaging
• voice or video calling
• camera or microphone access for gameplay features
• Bluetooth audio-routing features
• user-uploaded photo, video, or audio attachments
• in-app purchases

If these features are added to this app later, this Privacy Policy will be updated before those changes take effect.

6. Your Choices And Controls

You can choose whether to use optional account sign-in and cloud save. If you do not sign in, most gameplay data remains stored only on your device.

You can also:

• sign out of your account
• use the in-app account deletion flow while signed in
• remove local game data by clearing app storage or uninstalling the app

7. Data Retention

Local gameplay data remains on your device until you remove it.

Cloud save and account-related data may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide account access, maintain service integrity, resolve disputes, enforce terms, and comply with legal obligations, unless deleted earlier through the in-app deletion flow or another valid request.

8. Data Deletion

You can remove locally stored game data by clearing the app's storage in your device settings or uninstalling the app.

If you are signed in, the app's in-app delete-account flow is intended to delete your Flower Match account access and the cloud save associated with that account.

Deleting your Flower Match account does not delete your underlying email account outside this app.

If you need help with a deletion request, contact us using the email below.

9. Children's Privacy

Flower Match is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children except where it is voluntarily provided through optional account sign-in features.

If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided personal information through the app, they may contact us to request review or deletion where applicable.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and platform-based safeguards to help protect information processed by the app, including Firebase and platform security features. However, no method of storage or transmission is completely secure.

11. International Data Processing

If you use Flower Match, your information may be processed on servers operated by our service providers, including Google Firebase and Google Mobile Ads, in countries other than your own.

12. External Links

The app may open support pages outside the game. When you leave the app, the privacy practices of the external destination may apply instead of this policy.

13. Changes To This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the app changes. When we do, we will post the updated version here.
