Edgefall Privacy Policy
Edgefall ("the game") is a mobile game published on Google Play by Next Coders ("we"). This policy explains what information is handled when you play, and why. We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect your real name, email address, contacts, location or photos.
Information stored on your device
The game saves your best score, your Daily Drop progress and day streak, simple play counts used to unlock styles, the styles you picked, your control, sound and music settings, and whether you have played before, on your device. Apart from your best score being submitted to the leaderboard (below), this data stays on your device and is removed when you uninstall the game.
World leaderboard (Unity Gaming Services)
The in-game world leaderboard is provided by Unity Gaming Services (Unity Technologies). When you play, the game signs you in anonymously and Unity assigns a random player ID to this installation. Your best scores are submitted to the leaderboard together with a player name. You start with a randomly generated name and can change it at any time from the leaderboard screen; please do not use your real name or anything that identifies you. Your player name and scores are visible to other players on the leaderboard. Unity processes this data on our behalf under the Unity Privacy Policy, and, like any web service, receives your IP address when the game connects to it.
Daily reminders
If you turn on the daily reminder (you are asked once, and can change it in Settings), the game schedules one notification a day on your device. No data is sent anywhere to do this.
Sharing and challenges
When you tap Share, the game creates an image and a link and hands them to your phone's share menu; nothing is sent until you choose an app and send it yourself. The link contains a number that identifies the course, your score and your player name, so the person you send it to can see them and play the same course. This page is hosted on GitHub Pages, which receives the visitor's IP address like any website.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
After a crash, you can choose to watch an optional rewarded ad to continue your run. Ads are served by Google AdMob. To show and measure ads and to prevent fraud, AdMob may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address, device and app information, and how you interact with ads. Where required by law (for example in the EEA, UK and Switzerland) the game asks for your consent before ads are personalised, and you can change your choice later from Pause → Privacy settings. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings. Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your personal information.
- We do not run our own servers; the leaderboard is hosted by Unity as described above.
- We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The game is intended for players aged 13 and over.
Security and retention
Data sent to Unity and Google services is encrypted in transit. Locally stored data stays on your device until you uninstall the game or clear its data. Leaderboard entries are kept while the game is live; weekly leaderboard scores are cleared every week. Data held by Google is kept according to Google's own retention policies.
Your choices and requests
You can change your leaderboard name at any time, decline personalised ads where offered, or uninstall the game. To have your leaderboard entry and player name deleted, email us with your player name (shown on the leaderboard screen) and we will remove it. For any other questions or requests about your data, contact us.
Delete your Edgefall data
To delete the leaderboard data that Edgefall (by Next Coders) holds about you:
- Open Edgefall, tap the leaderboard button and note the name shown under Your name (for example QuietFalcon#48213).
- Email contact@next-coders.com with the subject Edgefall data deletion and include that player name.
Within 30 days we delete your player name and your scores from the all-time and weekly leaderboards. We keep nothing else about you. Data on your device (best score and settings) is deleted when you uninstall the game or clear its data. Advertising data is held by Google; you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the effective date above.
