# Privacy Policy — Pixel Flags

Last updated: 24.09.2026

Rokitskiy.DEV built the Pixel Flags app as an Ad-Supported app with optional in-app purchases.
This SERVICE is provided by Rokitskiy.DEV at no cost and is intended for use as is.

This page is used to inform visitors regarding my policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information if anyone decided to use my Service.

If you choose to use my Service, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy.
The Personal Information that I collect is used for providing and improving the Service.
I will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

Information Collection and Use

Pixel Flags does not ask for your name, email address, phone number or any account registration.
When you first open the app, it signs you in anonymously through Firebase Authentication. This creates a random identifier that is not linked to your identity. It is used to keep your game progress: bonus pixels, purchases, ranks, achievements, missions, login streaks and your flag collection.

The app does not request access to your location, contacts, camera, microphone or files.

The Shared Canvas

Pixel Flags is a shared canvas that many players paint together. The canvas runs on a game server operated by me (pixelflags.rokitskiy.dev).
When you place a pixel, the server stores its coordinates, its colour, the time it was placed and your anonymous identifier. This is needed to run the game: to show the canvas to everyone, to count how complete each flag is, to reward the players who built a flag, and to remove abusive drawings.

Everything painted on the canvas is public and visible to all players. Other players can see what was drawn, but not who drew it. Please do not draw personal information or offensive content. Drawings that break these rules may be removed.

Like any web server, the game server records technical request logs that include your device’s IP address. These logs are used only to keep the service running and to protect it from abuse, and are deleted after about two weeks.

Third-Party Services

The app uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you.
Link to the privacy policy of third-party service providers used by the app:

In-App Purchases

Bonus pixel packs and the permanent colour unlock are sold through Google Play Billing. Payments are processed entirely by Google. I never receive or store your card details or other payment information. I only receive a confirmation that a purchase was made, so that the purchased items can be credited to your game progress.

Analytics and Log Data

I use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the game is played, for example which screens are opened and which flags are painted. This data is aggregated and is not used to identify you.
Whenever you use my Service, in a case of an error in the app I collect data and information (through Firebase Crashlytics) on your phone called Log Data.
This Log Data may include information such as your device Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the app when utilizing my Service, the time and date of your use of the Service, and other statistics.

Cookies, Ads and Consent

This Service does not explicitly use “cookies”. However, the app may use third-party code and libraries that use “cookies” to collect information and improve their services.
Specifically, Google AdMob may use cookies and other identifiers, including the device advertising ID, to serve and measure ads.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the app asks for your consent before personalised ads are shown, using Google’s User Messaging Platform. To change your choice later, contact me at the email address below, or clear the app’s storage in your device’s settings so that the consent form is shown again (note that this also starts a new anonymous game profile). You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your device’s settings.

Notifications

With your permission, the app shows reminders, for example when your offline bonus pixels are waiting to be claimed or your login streak is about to end. These reminders are scheduled on your device. No push-notification service or data is used for them. You can turn them off at any time in your device’s settings.

Service Providers

I may employ third-party companies and individuals due to the following reasons:

To facilitate our Service;
To provide the Service on our behalf;
To perform Service-related services; or
To assist us in analyzing how our Service is used.

Security

I value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. All communication between the app and the servers is encrypted (HTTPS).
But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and I cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.
In the case I discover that a child under 13 has provided me with personal information, I immediately delete this from our servers.
If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact me so that I will be able to do the necessary actions.

Data Retention and Deletion

Your game progress is kept for as long as you use the app. Pixels you placed remain part of the shared canvas and its history until other players paint over them or they are removed.

If you wish to request the deletion of your data, please contact me at the email address below. This includes your game progress, bonus pixels and the link between your anonymous identifier and the pixels you placed. Please include your player ID if you can: it is the 8-character code after the “@” on a canvas snapshot shared from the app. I will delete your data from Firebase and from the game server within 30 days. Uninstalling the app removes the data stored on your device.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes.
I will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
