Saucer Down Privacy Policy

Saucer Down is an augmented-reality game made by Red Burrow Games. This policy explains what the app does with your device's camera and sensors, and what information it keeps.

01What the app uses

  • Camera. The game shows the live view from your rear camera and draws alien ships over it. Camera images are processed on your device only. They are never stored, uploaded, or shared.
  • Motion sensors (gyroscope, accelerometer, compass). Used to work out which way the phone is pointing so the ships stay in place in the sky. Sensor readings stay on the device.
  • Google Play Services for AR (ARCore). To find the floor and keep ships steady, Saucer Down runs on Google Play Services for AR, which is provided by Google LLC and processes camera images on your device. ARCore's handling of data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy. Saucer Down does not send ARCore data anywhere.

02What the app stores

Saucer Down stores your progress (score, rank, medals, settings, and which optional extras you own) in private app storage on your device. This data may be included in your device's standard Android backup if you have backups turned on. Nothing is sent to us.

03In-app purchases

Saucer Down offers a few optional one-time purchases (extra ships and paint colours). They are processed entirely by Google Play. We never see or store your payment details, name, or email address: Google Play tells the app only that a purchase was made, and the app remembers that on your device. Purchases can be restored on a new device from the same Google account using "Restore purchases" in the hangar. Google's handling of purchase data is covered by the Google Privacy Policy. There are no subscriptions.

04Advertising (applies only when ads are enabled)

Saucer Down contains no forced advertising. A version of the game may offer optional rewarded videos: small "WATCH" buttons (refill the EMP, retry a level without losing a star, double a run's XP) that only play an ad when you choose to tap them. If you never tap one, no ad is ever shown or requested. This section applies only to versions in which that feature is switched on; in the current release it is switched off, and nothing below happens.

  • Provider. Rewarded videos are served by Google AdMob (Google LLC). When you tap a WATCH button the AdMob software in the app requests an ad from Google and shows it. Google's handling of that request, including the information it receives, is governed by the Google Privacy Policy and described at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
  • Advertising ID. On devices that provide one, the AdMob software may use your device's advertising ID and approximate (IP-based) location to serve and measure ads and to limit how often you see the same one. Saucer Down itself never reads, stores or sends the advertising ID; it is used by Google's software only when an ad is requested.
  • Consent. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, a consent form (Google's User Messaging Platform) is shown the first time you tap a WATCH button, before any ad is requested. You can decline; the game is unchanged and ads are then non-personalised or not shown at all. The form is not shown at launch and never interrupts play.
  • Opting out. Do not tap WATCH buttons: no ad is requested. To reset or limit the advertising ID, use your device's settings (Settings → Google → Ads, or Settings → Privacy → Ads). Owners of the Hangar Pass or the Supporter Bundle never see a WATCH button at all.
  • Age. The game is listed for players aged 13 and over; ad requests are tagged as not directed at children and not for users under the age of consent.

05What the app does not do

  • It does not collect personal information, location, contacts, or identifiers for its own use. The only network access in the app is the advertising software described above, which is inactive unless ads are enabled and you choose to watch one.
  • It does not contain third-party analytics or tracking beyond what the advertising section describes.
  • It does not create accounts.

06Children

Saucer Down is listed for players aged 13 and over. It collects no personal information itself, so no data about children is collected by the game; the advertising section above explains what Google's software may process when an optional rewarded video is watched.

07Changes

If a future version changes what the app collects, this policy will be updated and the "Last updated" date changed before the version is released.
