Privacy Policy for Flaggle

Last updated: 4 October 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Pairwise ("we", "us") handles information in the mobile application Flaggle ("the App"). By using the App you agree to this policy.

Summary

The game itself is offline — all flags, country data, and your scores, streaks and settings stay on your device. We do not require an account and never ask for your name, email or password.
To keep the App free, we use ads and basic analytics/crash reporting from third-party services (Google) that collect limited technical data as described below.
We do not sell your personal data.

Information collected

We do not directly collect personally identifying information. The third-party services we use collect the following to function:

1. Analytics — Google Firebase Analytics

App usage and interactions (screens viewed, games played, features used)
Device and software information (device model, OS, language, country/region)
A randomly generated app-instance identifier

2. Crash reporting — Google Firebase Crashlytics

Crash logs, diagnostic data and device state at the time of a crash

3. Advertising — Google AdMob

A device advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS / Advertising ID on Android)
Device information and general (coarse) location derived from IP address
Ad interaction data

Where required (e.g. the EEA/UK) we show a consent form; on iOS we request App Tracking Transparency permission. If you decline, you still see ads, but they are non-personalized.

How information is used

To operate, maintain and improve the App
To show and measure advertising that keeps the App free
To diagnose crashes and fix problems

We do not sell personal data and do not build advertising profiles ourselves — any ad personalization is performed by Google subject to your consent.

Sharing

Data is processed by our service providers Google (Firebase, AdMob) and the app stores (Apple, Google Play) under their own policies:

Data retention

On-device data (scores, settings) remains until you delete the App. Analytics and crash data are retained per Google's default retention settings. You can reset your advertising identifier or limit ad tracking in your device settings at any time.

Your choices and rights

Ads: reset/limit your advertising ID in iOS or Android settings; decline tracking in the consent / ATT prompt for non-personalized ads.
Delete data: uninstalling the App removes all on-device data. To request deletion of analytics/crash data associated with your device, contact us.
GDPR (EEA/UK) / CCPA (California): you may request access to or deletion of your personal data; California residents may opt out of "sale/share" (we do not sell). Contact us.

Children's privacy

Flaggle is a general-audience app and is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Changes

We may update this policy; the "Last updated" date will change and the current version will always be at this page.
