Overview
Star Games ("Star Games," "we," "us," or "our") is a casual block-placement puzzle game. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use the app, how we use it, and the choices available to you. Star Games does not require an account to play, does not display third-party advertising within the app, and nothing earned in the app has any real-world monetary value.
Star Games uses royal- and casino-inspired visual theming, including level-pack and cosmetic names such as "The Grand Ball" and "Casino Velvet." This theming is decorative only. Star Games is a skill-based puzzle game and does not involve wagering, betting, or any form of real-money gambling.

How We Use Your Information
We use the information described above to maintain your level progress, coin balance, and shop items accurately; to understand which levels and features are used so we can balance difficulty; to measure which install source led to your download; to send optional push notifications, where you have enabled them; and to diagnose and resolve technical issues. We do not sell your personal information.
Third-Party Services
Firebase Analytics
Collects your advertising identifier, Firebase app-instance ID, and approximate (IP-derived) location. Used for gameplay analytics and to measure marketing and attribution performance. Not used to display advertising within the app.
We collect and continue to hold your advertising identifier unless and until you reset or delete it yourself in your device's privacy settings; we do not remove it on our own initiative.
firebase.google.com/support/privacyOneSignal
Used exclusively for push notifications, and only where you have opted in. Not used for advertising purposes.
onesignal.com/privacy_policyInstall Referrer
A one-time string captured at install through Google Play, used to identify the install source. No ongoing data is collected through this mechanism.
Advertising
Star Games does not display third-party advertising. Your advertising identifier, collected via Firebase, is used solely for install attribution and marketing-performance analytics, and is never used for in-app ad targeting or personalization, as no advertising is shown.
Virtual Currency & In-App Economy
Coins are Star Games' virtual in-app currency. Coins are earned by completing levels and improving your results. Coins have no monetary value, cannot be purchased with real money, and cannot be exchanged, transferred, or withdrawn for cash or any other form of compensation.
Not a Gambling Product
Star Games uses casino-inspired visual theming, including level-pack names such as "The Grand Ball" and cosmetic items such as "Casino Velvet." This theming is decorative only and does not reflect any underlying wagering mechanic. Star Games does not involve betting or games of chance played for monetary stakes; every outcome is determined by player skill.
Coins may be spent in the shop on block skins, game backgrounds, and additional boosters. These purchases affect appearance and gameplay convenience only and involve no real money.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights with respect to your data:
- Access — request a summary of the data we hold in connection with your device or session.
- Correction — request correction of inaccurate data associated with your device.
- Deletion — request deletion of data linked to your device.
- Portability — request a copy of your data in a portable format.
- Objection — object to specific processing activities, such as attribution analytics.
- Restriction — request that we limit how your data is processed.
- Withdrawal of consent — opt out of push notifications or analytics collection at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 13.
