Privacy policy
Updated October 23, 2026Traceva is a timed puzzle game with a worldwide shared leaderboard.
What we collect
You choose a player name and country. We create an anonymous guest identifier. To operate the game, we store your coin balance, points, longest run, recent solve times, puzzle attempts, reward history, and account-deletion requests. Your profile and progress are stored privately for online play. Public leaderboard sharing is off by default. If you opt in, your player name, chosen country, points, longest run, and qualifying average solve time are uploaded to and displayed on the public leaderboard. A stable guest-player reference supports reporting and blocking leaderboard entries. Turn sharing off in Settings & privacy to remove your public ranking without losing private progress. Your country is chosen by you; we do not determine it from your location.
Why we use it
We use this information to save progress, verify moves and rewards, prevent duplicate grants, operate the leaderboard, investigate abuse and respond to support requests. We use stored activity and game progress in private operational reports to understand usage, investigate problems and improve the game. Firebase provides authentication, database, server functions and app attestation. Its service may process device and network information needed to operate these features.
Advertising and app versions
The prepared version 1.1 build 27 contains no ads, Google Mobile Ads SDK, or advertising-consent SDK. It does not request advertising identifiers or offer ad rewards. It is not yet released. Firebase authentication, app attestation, saved progress and optional public rankings continue to operate.
Older installed releases may still contain Google AdMob for rewarded ads chosen by the player or interstitial ads at natural breaks. For those versions, Google may process device and network information, IP-derived approximate location, ad interactions and diagnostics to serve, prevent fraud and measure ads. This is separate from the country chosen for rankings. Where required, those releases request advertising consent and provide privacy choices. Their rewarded-ad verification sends Google the guest identifier and a short-lived reward reference; Google returns a signed confirmation for reward fulfillment and fraud prevention. Historical verification records remain subject to the retention rules below.
Sound and local settings
Sound and focus atmosphere are optional. Their settings stay on your device.
Retention and deletion
We keep game progress while the guest account is active. Settings & privacy → Delete player data removes the guest identity, shared ranking and gameplay records. Limited reward-verification and abuse-prevention records are scheduled for deletion after 24 months to prevent duplicate grants and investigate misuse. Automated deletion is processed asynchronously and normally completes within a further 24 hours. A minimal one-way-hashed account reference is scheduled for deletion after 24 hours to prevent an old login token from recreating a deleted account. Provider security logs follow Google's retention practices. Contact us if you need help with deletion.
