ClueBreaker collects what it needs to run the game, its leaderboards, purchases and ads, and we never sell your personal information. You can play without giving a name or email, and you can delete your account at any time.
Who We Are
ClueBreaker is a word puzzle game made by Revline Apps LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("Revline Apps", "we", "us"). This policy explains what the app collects, why, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. Questions go to revlineapps@gmail.com.
What We Collect
Account and profile.
- When you open the app you get an anonymous account with a random ID. No name or email is needed to play.
- If you choose to sign in with Google (Android) or Apple (iOS) to keep your progress, our sign-in provider stores the email address that Google or Apple shares with us, along with which provider you used. With Apple you can choose to hide your email, in which case we only receive a private relay address. We do not store your name.
- The display name and avatar you choose, the avatars you own, and the date your account was created.
Gameplay and scores.
- Your coin, Bolt and Key balances, game statistics and streaks.
- A record of each completed game: the mode, difficulty, score, time, guesses and similar details.
- Your weekly and all-time leaderboard scores and your weekly results.
- Puzzle progress is also saved on your device so you can resume a game.
Purchases.
- For coin packs and ClueBreaker Premium: the product, price and currency, the store, the store transaction ID, and your subscription status and renewal dates.
- We never receive your card or other payment details. Payment is handled entirely by Apple or Google.
Advertising.
- Ads in the free app are served by Google AdMob, which may use your device's advertising ID where you allow it (see Advertising and Your Choices).
- When you watch a rewarded ad to the end, AdMob sends our server a confirmation carrying the ad's transaction ID and your account ID, so we can credit your coins. We keep a record of each confirmation.
Usage and diagnostics.
- Firebase Analytics records how the game is used: for example puzzles completed or abandoned, coins earned and spent, ads watched, purchases and the paywall, and shares. These events are not tied to your account ID, your name or your email. Analytics also collects standard device information such as the device model, operating system, app version and approximate country.
- Firebase Crashlytics sends us crash reports and some error reports, with the device model, operating system and app version, so we can fix problems.
- Firebase App Check sends a token from Google Play Integrity (Android) or Apple App Attest (iOS) that confirms requests come from the genuine app on a real device.
How We Use It
- To run the game: save your progress, balances and streaks, and restore them when you sign in on a new device.
- To run the leaderboards and weekly results.
- To deliver what you buy and keep your Premium status up to date.
- To show ads in the free app and pay out coins for rewarded ads.
- To find and fix crashes and errors.
- To understand, in aggregate, how the game is played and improve it.
- To prevent cheating and abuse.
Who We Share It With
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the services that run parts of the app for us:
- Google Firebase (sign-in, database, server functions, Analytics, Crashlytics and App Check). Your game data is stored in Google Cloud in the United States.
- Google AdMob, which serves the ads in the free app.
- RevenueCat, which manages purchases and subscriptions. It receives your account ID and the store's purchase receipts, never your payment details.
- Apple and Google, which handle sign-in, payments and refunds through their stores under their own privacy policies.
We may also disclose information if the law requires it.
Advertising and Your Choices
- Where the law requires it (for example in the European Economic Area, the UK and some US states), the app asks for your consent for personalized ads before showing any. If consent cannot be collected, only non-personalized ads are shown.
- On iPhone and iPad, the app first explains why it asks, then shows Apple's request to allow tracking. You can say no and still play everything.
- You can change your choice at any time in your device settings: on iOS under Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking, and on Android under Settings > Google > Ads (or Settings > Privacy > Ads) to reset or delete your advertising ID. To change a consent choice made in the app, contact us.
- ClueBreaker Premium removes ads.
- On Android, Firebase Analytics also reads your device's advertising ID, alongside AdMob.
- The app does not use cookies, and it does not track you across other companies' apps or websites except through the advertising ID, where you allow it.
Leaderboards Are Public
Your display name, avatar and leaderboard scores can be seen by other players on the leaderboards. Please choose a display name you are comfortable sharing, and do not use your real name or any personal details in it. Your email, balances and other account data are never shown to other players.
How Long We Keep It
We keep your account data for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account, your data is deleted as described below. Counts that name nobody, such as how many players solved a daily puzzle, remain. Analytics and crash data are kept by Google for a limited time under Firebase's retention settings, and RevenueCat and the app stores keep their own purchase records.
Delete Your Account
You can delete your account at any time in the app under Options > Delete Account, or request deletion at cluebreaker.app/delete-account.
Deletion is permanent and immediate. It removes your profile, progress, statistics, balances, purchase records and every leaderboard entry, then deletes your sign-in account. Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription: cancel it separately in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings.
Children
ClueBreaker is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information, contact us at revlineapps@gmail.com and we will delete it.
Your Rights
You can ask us to access, correct or delete your personal information. Depending on where you live, for example in the European Economic Area, the UK or California, you may have further rights, such as to object to or restrict how we use your data, to receive a copy of it, or to complain to your local data protection authority. California residents: we do not sell or share personal information for money. To make a request, contact revlineapps@gmail.com.
Security
Data travels between the app and our servers encrypted. Access to account data is limited to the operator of the app, and our database rules stop players from reading each other's accounts. App Check helps block requests that do not come from the genuine app. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the app changes. When we do, the date at the top of this page changes. Using the app after an update means you accept the updated policy.
