Privacy Policy
Blend In! is a 3D hide-and-seek game developed by Max-Q Studio ("Max-Q", "we"). You can play without an account; signing in with Google is optional and is used to keep your progress and purchases in the cloud.
This Privacy Policy explains what information the game uses, why, who processes it, how long it is kept, and how you can delete it.
1. Playing as a guest
Without signing in, your coins, owned and equipped items, story progress, settings and the daily counters for rewarded videos and Premium are stored only on your device. Nothing of this is sent to Max-Q. Uninstalling the game or clearing its data removes it.
2. Signing in with Google
If you choose "Sign in with Google", the game uses Google's account picker and Firebase Authentication (Google LLC) to create an account for you. We receive your Google account's name, email address and a Firebase user ID. We never receive your Google password.
3. What is stored in your account
When you are signed in, the following is stored in Google Cloud Firestore (region: Jakarta, Indonesia):
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Name and email from Google, Firebase user ID | To identify your account and show it on your profile page. |
| Username you choose | Your public name in the game; it must be unique, so other signed-in players' devices can check whether a name is taken. |
| Game save: coins, owned and equipped items, story stars, Premium status, rewarded-video counter | To keep your progress and restore it on another phone. |
| Device list: a random ID made by the game, the phone model name, last time used | So only one phone is active at a time (no conflicting saves) and you can remove a device from the profile page. |
| Purchase records: product, Google Play purchase token and order ID, device ID, time | To deliver what you paid for exactly once, restore purchases, prevent fraud and handle billing questions. |
Access is limited by security rules so that only your own signed-in account can read or change your data. Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS).
4. Wi-Fi multiplayer
When you play with others on the same Wi-Fi, your player name (or username), chosen role and outfit are sent directly to the other devices in that local game, together with your character's movements. This traffic stays on your local network and is not sent to Max-Q's servers. Online play over the internet is not available yet.
5. Advertising (Google AdMob)
You can choose to watch a rewarded video to earn free coins (a limited number per day). These videos are provided by Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK). Google may process device and advertising identifiers, IP address, device and app information and ad interactions to deliver, measure and, where allowed, personalise ads, according to its own policies.
Where required (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland), the game asks for your advertising choices through Google's User Messaging Platform before ads are requested. Your game save, username or email are not sent to AdMob.
6. Purchases (Google Play Billing)
Coin packs and the monthly Premium subscription are paid through Google Play. Google processes the payment; Max-Q never receives your card or payment details. We keep the purchase records described in section 3. Purchases require a signed-in account so they are never lost.
7. Information we do not collect
Blend In! does not ask for your location, contacts, photos, microphone or camera, and does not read other apps' data. The game shows no chat between players.
8. Third-party services
- Google Sign-In and Firebase Authentication (sign-in);
- Google Cloud Firestore (account data and cloud save);
- Google AdMob and the User Messaging Platform (rewarded videos and ad consent);
- Google Play Billing (purchases).
These providers process information under their own privacy policies and terms.
9. Retention and deletion
Account data is kept while your account exists. You can delete your account at any time in the game (Profile, Delete account) or by email, as described on the account deletion page. Deleting removes your save, username, device list and sign-in. Purchase records are kept after deletion, without your save, for as long as needed for billing, fraud prevention, refunds and legal obligations. Data on your device is removed when you uninstall the game or clear its data.
10. Children
Blend In! is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
11. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, or to object to some processing. Write to us at the address below and we will answer within 30 days.
12. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this policy when the game or its services change. The "Last updated" date above shows the latest version; important changes will also be announced in the game.
