Privacy Policy
Effective 12 October 2026
Network: Keep It Online ("Network") is a game made by Appamania ("we"). This policy explains what information the game uses, why, and the choices you have. In short: the game has no ads and does not track you. It creates an anonymous game account so your progress, Cycles and scores are kept online. We never ask for your name, email address or any other contact details.
Your game account
The first time the game goes online, it creates an anonymous account with Firebase Authentication (Google). The account is a random identifier; it has no name, email or password. If you are signed in to Game Center (iPhone) or Google Play Games (Android), the game links that account to your Game Center or Play Games player identity, so your progress comes back when you reinstall the game or move to a new phone.
What the game keeps online
Stored in Cloud Firestore (Google), under your game account:
- Progress: levels cleared, stars, your best Endless score, earned and equipped themes, and your settings. A run in progress stays on the phone.
- Cycles: your balance, and a record of each Cycles grant, purchase and spend.
- Login streak: the day of your last visit and your streak day.
- Scores: your daily challenge and Endless scores, so the server can check that a score is possible and pay the weekly Endless reward.
- Purchase records: the store transaction ID and product of each Cycles pack you buy, so a receipt is credited only once.
What we do not collect
No name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, precise location or advertising identifier. The game contains no ad SDK and does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
Services that receive data
| Service | What it receives | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore (Google) | Your anonymous account identifier, the linked Game Center or Play Games player ID, and the game data listed above | To keep your progress and Cycles, restore them on a new install, and run the daily challenge and Endless boards. |
| Cloud Functions for Firebase (Google) | Your account identifier, purchase receipts, scores and Cycles requests | To verify purchases with Apple or Google, credit Cycles, check scores and pay rewards. |
| Firebase Crashlytics (Google) | Crash reports: device model, operating system version, app version and the state of the app when it crashed | To find and fix crashes. |
| Google Analytics for Firebase | Gameplay events (for example a level completed, a run ended, a purchase started), an app instance identifier and device information | To learn which levels are too hard or too easy. On by default; turn it off in Settings → Share anonymous analytics. |
| Firebase Remote Config (Google) | An app instance identifier and app version | To download new levels and daily challenges. |
| Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google), and Apple Push Notification service on iPhone | A push token for your device | To deliver game news and update notices, only if you turn on notifications. Daily challenge and streak reminders are scheduled on your phone and send nothing. |
| Apple Game Center (iPhone) | Your Endless and daily challenge scores, achievements earned and your Game Center player identity | Sign-in, leaderboards and achievements. Other Game Center players can see your nickname and scores on the leaderboards. |
| Google Play Games (Android) | Your Endless and daily challenge scores, achievements earned and your Play Games player identity | Sign-in, leaderboards and achievements. Other players can see your Play Games name and scores on the leaderboards. |
| Apple App Store / Google Play | Your purchases of Cycles packs | To charge you and deliver the Cycles. Payment details are handled entirely by Apple or Google; we never see them. |
Google's use of this data is described in Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from apps that use its services. Apple's is described in Apple's Privacy Policy.
Notifications
After the tutorial, the game asks whether you want notifications. If you say yes, your phone reminds you when a new daily challenge starts and before your login streak runs out, and you may receive game news and update notices from us. Turn them off at any time in Settings → Notifications or in your device's settings.
Children
Network is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided information through the game, contact us and we will help remove it.
How long data is kept
Data on your phone stays until you reset progress or delete the app. Data in your game account stays until you delete it (see below). Daily and Endless score entries are kept with your account. Purchase records are kept after an account is deleted, with the account identifier removed, so a receipt cannot be credited twice. Crash reports are kept for up to 90 days and analytics events for up to 14 months. Game Center and Play Games keep scores and achievements under Apple's and Google's own terms.
Your choices and rights
- Delete your online data: Settings → Delete my online data deletes your game account, its progress, Cycles, records and scores, and signs you out. Progress on the phone stays.
- Reset everything: Settings → Reset all progress deletes your progress, settings, themes and every Cycle, on the phone and online. Purchased Cycles are lost for good.
- Turn analytics off in Settings → Share anonymous analytics.
- Turn notifications off in Settings → Notifications.
- Sign out of Game Center or Play Games in your device settings to stop sharing scores; the game still works without them.
- Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data, or to object to its use. Contact us and we will help with any request.
Security
Data sent between the game, Google, Apple and the app stores travels over encrypted connections. Your game account can only read its own data, and only our server can change your Cycles.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
