Privacy Policy — Ikat
Last updated: 2026-08-04
This policy explains what data the Ikat app (“we”, “the app”) collects and how it is used.
Summary
Ikat is playable entirely offline. We collect the minimum needed to sync your progress, run leaderboards, show ads, and process optional purchases. We do not sell your personal data.
Data we process
| Data | Why | When |
|---|---|---|
| Anonymous / Google account ID (Firebase Auth) | Save and sync your progress across devices; identify you on leaderboards | Only after you sign in |
| Game progress, coins, inventory, custom levels | Cloud backup and cross-device sync | Only after you sign in |
| Display name + aggregate score (stars, levels cleared) | Public leaderboards and community level attribution | When you submit a score or publish a level |
| Approximate analytics events (e.g. level completed, ad shown) | Understand usage and improve the game | When analytics is enabled on a signed build |
| Crash diagnostics | Diagnose and fix crashes | On a crash, when Crashlytics is enabled |
| Advertising identifier (via Google AdMob) | Show ads, including rewarded ads | When ads are shown |
| Purchase tokens (via Google Play Billing) | Grant and restore purchases; prevent fraud | When you make a purchase |
We do not collect contacts, location, photos, messages, or device files.
Local-only data
Until you sign in, all game data (progress, wallet, inventory, custom levels) stays on your device and is included in Android’s encrypted Auto Backup if you have it enabled.
Third-party services
- Google Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Functions, Remote Config, Analytics, Crashlytics)
- Google AdMob (advertising)
- Google Play Billing (in-app purchases)
Each is governed by Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
Children
Ikat is rated for everyone and does not knowingly target children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
