Privacy Policy

About this policy

This policy applies to the Echo Pads Android game published by Mastermind Apps (“we”, “us”). It explains what information the game and the services it uses handle, why, and the choices you have.

The game has no player accounts, chat or developer-operated game server, and it does not ask for your name, email, contacts, photos, camera, microphone or location. You can play offline; analytics use an internet connection when one is available.

Data saved on your device

Echo Pads stores your best score, number of games played, whether you have seen the tutorial, and your sound, vibration and language settings in the app's private storage on your device. We do not upload these to a server and there is no cloud save.

Analytics and crash reports (Google Firebase)

To learn which parts of the game people enjoy and to fix crashes, the game uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics. They receive:

• Gameplay eventsFor example games started and finished, scores, tutorial progress and screens viewed. No names or contact details.
• App and device informationApp version, device model, Android version, language, approximate country, and a per-installation Firebase ID.
• Crash reportsStack traces and device state at the time of a crash.

We use this only to improve the game and its stability. See Privacy and security in Firebase.

Ratings and reviews

The game may occasionally show Google Play's in-app review prompt. Reviews you leave are handled by Google Play under Google's terms; we only see what Google Play shows publicly to developers.

Retention and deletion

Data on your device stays until you clear it: Android Settings → Apps → Echo Pads → Storage → Clear data, or uninstall the game. Firebase keeps analytics data for up to 14 months and crash reports for up to 90 days. Information held by Google follows Google's retention policies and controls. If you email us, we keep the correspondence only as long as needed to help you.

Security and transfers

Saved data uses Android's app-private storage. Google encrypts the data its SDKs send in transit. Google and our email provider may process information outside your country under their own safeguards.

Children

Echo Pads is intended for a general audience aged 13 and over and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us and we will help remove it.

Changes

We may update this policy when the game or its services change. The date at the top shows the current version.
