Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 22, 2024

1. Introduction

Max Jividen (also known as "MaxsTechReview", "we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy. This policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit our website or use the Blackbird application (our "App") and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the minimal amount of information necessary to provide the gaming experience:

  • Account Information: When you sign in via Google or Email, we utilize Firebase Authentication to verify your identity. We store your unique User ID (UID) and email address solely for authentication purposes.
  • Profile Data: We store the display name, bio, gender, birthdate, and avatar preferences that you voluntarily provide in your user profile.
  • Game Statistics: To track your progress, we store aggregate statistics such as your total wins and losses associated with your user profile.

We do not collect, store, or transmit your precise geolocation data, phone numbers, contacts list, or microphone data.

3. Data Storage and Retention

Persistent Data

User profiles and game statistics are stored securely on Google Firebase servers. This data is retained to maintain your account history and leaderboard standing until you request its deletion.

Ephemeral Data

Game room data, including chat messages, card hands, and detailed gameplay logs, is temporary. This data is deleted from our servers immediately when the game room is closed or when all players have left the room. We do not retain chat logs or gameplay history after the session ends.

4. Data Security

We implement rigorous security measures designed to protect your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. We utilize Google Firebase's secure infrastructure, which enforces industry-standard encryption and authentication protocols to safeguard your data.

5. Third-Party Services

Our App uses trusted third-party services for infrastructure and monetization:

  • Google Firebase: Used for backend services, authentication, and database hosting.
  • Google AdSense: Used to serve advertisements. Google may use cookies or mobile identifiers to serve ads based on your visit to this and other sites.

Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for more details on how they handle data.

6. Children's Privacy

Our App is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information.
