Maze Tower Defense is a single-player tower-defense game with an optional online leaderboard. This policy describes what information the app and the leaderboard handle, including when the app shows ads.

Data stored on your phone

Game progress stays on the device. That includes:

• an unfinished game
• run history and the best wave for each difficulty
• mazes you draw
• settings such as language and sound

Unless you join the online leaderboard below, this data is not uploaded. Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage deletes it from the device. The game has no account sign-in and no cloud save.

Online leaderboard (optional)

You join the leaderboard only by entering a nickname yourself, and the game is fully playable without it. Once you join, the developer’s leaderboard server stores:

• the nickname you chose and a randomly generated player number (not linked to your real identity or Google account)
• the result of each run: mode, difficulty, wave, score, whether you won, and game version
• history synced when you join: best wave per difficulty and lifetime score
• your best run on each difficulty: tower and wall positions, damage, kills and items used
• the IP address a result was sent from, used only to prevent cheating and abuse

Your nickname, rank, scores and best-run layouts are shown publicly to other players. The server is hosted on Render (Singapore) with a MongoDB Atlas database. This data is not sold and not used for ads. If you have not joined, the game only checks that the server is online and sends no game data.

To delete your leaderboard data, email your nickname to the contact address below and we will delete your player profile and all of your results.

Advertising

Versions that show ads do so through Google AdMob. Google may process:

• the Android advertising ID
• IP address (approximate region, not a street address)
• device model, operating-system version, and language
• whether an ad was shown or clicked

Google uses this information under its own policy to deliver and measure ads, which may include personalized ads. You can reset your advertising ID, or opt out of ads personalization, in Android settings. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Google’s consent choice is shown before ads are requested according to that choice.

The developer does not sell this advertising data and does not operate a separate ad server.

Information the developer does not ask for

The game does not ask for your real name, email address, phone number, or a Google sign-in. Leaderboard nicknames can be anything; please don’t use your real name. The developer does not collect contacts, photos, precise location, or microphone recordings.

Children

Maze Tower Defense is not directed at children under 13, and the developer does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Third parties

Ads are provided by Google (AdMob). The app is distributed through Google Play. The leaderboard server is hosted on Render and MongoDB Atlas. Those companies handle information needed for their services under their own privacy policies. Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Changes

If a later version adds account sign-in, cloud save, or any other new use of data, this page will be updated before that version is released. The effective date at the top will change with it.
