Privacy Policy — Shoot Arena

Effective Date: 2026-06-14
Last Updated: 2026-06-14
Developer: Cameounix
Contact: cameounix@gmail.com
App Package: com.cameounix.shootarena
Version: 1.0.0
Platforms: Android · iOS

1. Overview

Shoot Arena is a local multiplayer party game. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains clearly what data the app collects, why, how it is stored, and who (if anyone) it is shared with.

Short summary: Almost all data stays on your device. The only third-party data sharing occurs through Google AdMob, which serves banner advertisements.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Data You Provide

Data	Purpose	Where stored
Player name	Displayed in-game and on the welcome screen	Device only (SharedPreferences)

No email address, phone number, real name, or account credentials are ever collected.

2.2 Data the App Creates Automatically

The following data is generated locally on your device during gameplay and never leaves your device:

Data	Purpose	Storage key
Saved game state	Resume an interrupted match	`shoot_arena.saved_game`
App settings (sound, music, haptics, theme)	Remember your preferences	`shoot_arena.settings`
Match statistics (wins, kills, shots fired, dice rolled, last 10 winner names)	In-app statistics screen	`shoot_arena.statistics`
First-launch flag	Show the welcome/onboarding screen once	`shoot_arena.first_launch_completed`

All of the above is stored using Android/iOS SharedPreferences (key-value store on the device). It is not uploaded to any server.

2.3 Data We Do NOT Collect

Location data
Camera or microphone access
Contacts or address book
Device identifiers beyond what AdMob collects (see Section 4)
Browsing history
Any biometric data
User accounts or passwords

3. Local Network (LAN Multiplayer)

Shoot Arena includes an optional local-area-network (LAN) multiplayer feature. When you use it:

The app broadcasts UDP datagrams every 2 seconds on your local Wi-Fi network so other devices can discover your game room.
The broadcast contains your local IP address and room name (the player name you entered).
This data travels only within your private Wi-Fi network and is never sent to any external server.
The following Android permissions are required for LAN play:

Permission	Reason
`INTERNET`	Required by Flutter and AdMob; also used for LAN sockets
`ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`	Check network availability
`ACCESS_WIFI_STATE`	Read local network info for room discovery
`CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE`	Enable UDP multicast for room discovery

If you never use multiplayer, none of these network features are active during gameplay.

4. Third-Party Services — Google AdMob

Shoot Arena displays a banner advertisement at the bottom of the gameplay screen, served by Google AdMob.

Google AdMob may collect:

Advertising ID (Android: GAID / iOS: IDFA) — a resettable, non-personal identifier used to serve relevant ads.
Device information — operating system version, screen size, language.
IP address — used to serve geographically relevant ads and for fraud prevention.
Ad interaction data — whether you viewed or tapped an ad.

This data is collected and processed by Google under their own privacy policy. We do not receive or store any of this data ourselves.

Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
AdMob (Ads) Policy: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543
Opt out of personalised ads (Android): Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalisation
Opt out of personalised ads (iOS): Settings → Privacy → Tracking → disable for Shoot Arena

5. Data Storage and Security

All app data (player name, settings, statistics, saved game) is stored locally on your device using the platform’s standard secure SharedPreferences storage.
No data is transmitted to our servers because we do not operate any servers.
Uninstalling the app permanently deletes all locally stored data.
We do not use cookies, tracking pixels, or any web-based tracking.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.

The only third-party data transfer that occurs is through Google AdMob as described in Section 4. We have no control over the data AdMob collects and encourage you to review Google’s privacy policy directly.

7. Children’s Privacy

Shoot Arena does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your country).

However, Google AdMob may serve ads. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has been exposed to personalised advertising through this app, you can:

Reset the Advertising ID on the device.
Enable “Opt out of Ads Personalisation” in device settings.
Contact us at the email below and we will investigate.

We will update the AdMob configuration to non-personalised ads mode if required.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

Access the data the app holds about you (your player name and statistics are visible in-app on the Statistics screen).
Delete your data — uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data immediately.
Correct your player name — tap “Reset Player Name” in Settings at any time.
Object to personalised advertising — use the opt-out steps in Section 4.

Because all data is stored on-device, there is nothing stored on our end for us to delete on your behalf.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the app evolves (for example, if new features or third-party SDKs are added). Changes will be reflected by updating the Last Updated date at the top of this document.

We recommend checking this policy periodically. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
