🎲 Privacy Policy for Dice of the Day

Last updated: May 15, 2026

This privacy policy explains how the Dice of the Day mobile application ("we," "us," or "the app") collects, uses, and protects your information. We've kept this short and plain-English because we believe you should actually be able to read it.

    The short version: We don't collect your name, email, phone number, location, or anything personally identifiable. We only collect what we need to run the Daily Challenge leaderboard and show ads.

1. What Information We Collect

Information you provide

Username: A name you choose to display on leaderboards. You can use the auto-generated name or pick your own. Visible to other players.
Country (optional): If you choose a country in Settings, we display a flag next to your name on leaderboards. You can disable this anytime.
Game scores: Your scores in the Daily Challenge are submitted to our server to display the leaderboard.

Information collected automatically

Anonymous device ID: A random identifier we generate locally on your device to track your scores. Not linked to your real identity.
Game statistics: Stored locally on your device only (best score, games played, streak counter).

Information we do NOT collect

Your name, email, or phone number
Your precise location (GPS)
Your contacts, photos, or files
Your browsing history outside the app
Your SIM card or network operator details

2. Third-Party Services

Google AdMob (advertising)

We use Google AdMob to display ads in the app. AdMob may collect information including:

Advertising ID (resettable, controllable in your device settings)
IP address (used for ad relevance and fraud prevention)
Device type and operating system

You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time through your device settings (Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization).

For more details, see Google's privacy policy.

Our Backend (Hostinger)

Our server is hosted on Hostinger. Server logs may temporarily record IP addresses for security and rate-limiting purposes. These logs are not used for tracking and are deleted automatically.

3. How We Use Your Information

Display your username and score on the Daily Challenge leaderboard
Show country flags (only if you've enabled this)
Generate the same daily dice seed for fair competition
Prevent duplicate submissions and cheating
Display relevant advertisements

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information. The only third party that receives data is Google AdMob for advertising purposes (see Section 2).

Your username, score, and optional country are visible to other players on leaderboards. This is the core purpose of the Daily Challenge feature.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your scores and username are stored on our server. Game statistics (best score, streak, etc.) are stored locally on your device. We use HTTPS for all data transmission.

6. Your Rights and Data Deletion

Delete Your Account and Data

You can request deletion of all your data at any time. Here's how:

Open the Dice of the Day app on your device.
Go to Settings → About.
Note your auto-generated Username (e.g., "DicePlayer1234").
Email us at support@diceoftheday.com with the subject line "Delete my data" and include your username.
We will permanently delete all your data within 30 days and confirm via email.

What Gets Deleted

Upon request, we will permanently delete:

Your username and device identifier
All your game scores and submission history
Your notification preferences and Firebase token
Your country code and any other profile data

What Cannot Be Deleted

Anonymized aggregate statistics (e.g., "average daily score across all players") may be retained as they cannot be tied back to any individual user.
Data shared with Google AdMob follows Google's own retention policies. To manage this, reset your Advertising ID in your device settings.

Other Rights

Change your username: Anytime in Settings → Profile.
Hide your country: Anytime in Settings → Profile.
Disable notifications: Anytime in Settings → Notifications, or via your device's system settings.
Reset your advertising ID: Available in your device's Google Settings → Ads.
Uninstall the app: Removes all local data immediately. Server data deletion requires the email request above.

Response Time

We aim to respond to all deletion requests within 5 business days and complete deletion within 30 days, as required by GDPR and similar privacy regulations.

7. Children's Privacy

Dice of the Day is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected data from a child under 13, we will delete it immediately. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided information may contact us to request deletion.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
