1. The Information We Collect
To let you play, matchmake, and manage your profile, we collect:
- Account Info: When you continue as a guest we create an anonymous account ID. When you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive basic account details such as name and email so your progress can sync.
- Profile Data: Display name, optional profile photo, rating, coins, owned cues and reactions, and match counts.
- Gameplay Data: Matchmaking and live match state needed to run online games (turns, shots, results, and related game events).
- Device & Notifications: If you allow notifications, we store a push token and a device install ID so we can send match or app updates.
- Ads: On supported platforms we show ads (including rewarded ads for coins). Ad partners such as Google AdMob may collect device and advertising identifiers under their own policies.
2. How We Use Your Data
We use your information to run Pool World — signing you in, finding opponents, syncing your profile and inventory, granting rewarded-ad coins, sending optional notifications, and keeping the service stable.
3. Storage and Sharing
Your account and game data are stored securely in the cloud with trusted providers such as Google Firebase (Authentication, Firestore, Realtime Database, Storage, Cloud Functions, Messaging, and Remote Config).
We share data only with the infrastructure and platform providers needed to run the app — for example Google (Firebase / AdMob / Sign-In) and Apple (Sign in with Apple). They process data under their own terms.
4. Your Rights & Deletion
You own your data. You can permanently delete your Pool World account and associated cloud data in the app: open Settings → Account → Delete account.
If you cannot use the in-app option, email us at ahmed.adel.contact@gmail.com from the address linked to your account and we will delete your account and associated cloud data.
You can also sign out in Settings, and you can turn off notifications in your device settings at any time.
