Overview

Lexicode includes single-player games, daily challenges, leaderboards, and multiplayer rooms. Some features can be played locally, while cloud features use Firebase and Google services.

Data We Collect

When you use Lexicode, the app may collect or process:

• Authentication identifiers from Firebase Authentication, including anonymous guest IDs or Google sign-in IDs.
• Google account display name and, when provided by Google sign-in, email address for authentication.
• Display names entered or shown inside the app.
• Leaderboard scores, selected display names, difficulty, language, and submission time.
• Daily challenge attempts, daily scores, completion status, timing, and the selected game language.
• Multiplayer room data, including room code, player display names, room status, team assignment, round winners, winning answers, timing, and match scores.
• App analytics, app instance identifiers, diagnostics, and integrity signals processed by Firebase, Google Play services, or Google Play.
• Local gameplay state stored on your device as needed to run the game.

How We Use Data

We use this data to:

• Sign users in and keep cloud features connected to the correct player.
• Show leaderboards, personal records, and daily challenge status.
• Create and synchronize multiplayer rooms.
• Enforce one daily challenge attempt per user per day.
• Protect the app from abuse and support app integrity checks.
• Improve app stability, understand usage, and diagnose problems.

Data Sharing

Lexicode uses Firebase and Google services for authentication, cloud database, analytics, diagnostics, app integrity, and Google Play distribution. Data processed by those services is handled according to Google and Firebase terms and privacy documentation.

Leaderboard entries, daily leaderboard rows, multiplayer display names, room codes, winning answers, and match results may be visible to other Lexicode players when those features are used.

We do not sell personal data.

Security

Lexicode uses HTTPS/TLS through Firebase and Google services for data in transit. Cloud data is protected with Firebase Authentication, Firestore security rules, and Firebase App Check where available. No online game can guarantee complete prevention of cheating or misuse, but security controls may be improved over time.

Data Retention And Deletion

Leaderboard and daily challenge data may be retained to maintain rankings, personal records, and daily challenge history.

Multiplayer rooms may be deleted by the room creator in the app. Stale rooms may be cleaned up by the app or by backend maintenance.

Users may request deletion of their Lexicode account and associated cloud data from the Lexicode account deletion page. After a valid deletion request, Lexicode will delete associated cloud data unless limited retention is required for legal, security, anti-abuse, or operational reasons.

Users can also delete the app from their device to remove locally stored app data controlled by the app installation.

Children

Lexicode is not designed for children under 13 and is not intended to be a child-directed app. The app does not target children.

Changes To This Policy

This policy may be updated when Lexicode changes features, service providers, or data handling practices. The latest version will be available at the privacy policy URL listed in Google Play.
