Privacy policy

Last updated: November 3, 2026

This policy explains what data the Presidential Election Race game (Corrida pela Presidência in Portuguese) handles on iPhone, iPad, Android and the web, why, and how you can delete it. The controller is Idea Tech Apps, reachable at ideatechapps@gmail.com.

In short: the game is free, has no ads, no purchases, and does not track you across other apps or websites. We use usage statistics and crash reports, with no advertising identifier, only to understand how the game is played and to fix bugs. Your offline games stay on your device. When you play online, we keep only what the game needs: an anonymous identifier, the nickname you choose and your games.

1. Playing offline

Games against the computer and between people on the same device stay on your device only (or in your browser's storage): sound, language and country settings, your saved campaign, the last candidate you picked and your online room preferences. We don't receive any of it (only the usage statistics in section 3). Deleting the app (or the site's data in your browser) deletes it all.

2. Playing online

Online mode only starts when you tap Play online. From then on, we handle:

Anonymous identifier: the app signs in with Firebase Authentication's anonymous sign-in, which creates a random code for your device. We don't ask for your name, email, phone number or a password.
Nickname: the name you choose for other players to see. It goes through a filter for inappropriate words.
Rooms and games: country, room settings, who sits in each seat (anonymous identifier, nickname and candidate), each turn's moves, the result and timestamps. Open rooms are visible to every online player; a game in progress only to the people in it. A turn's moves stay secret until the turn closes.
Presence: the last time the app reported that you're in a room, to show who is connected.
Reactions: the preset emojis you send during a game. There is no chat and no free text. Reactions are deleted automatically shortly afterwards, usually within a few days.
Blocks: the list of players you blocked (identifier and nickname), so you don't end up in the same room.
Reports: when you report someone, we store your identifier, the reported player's identifier and nickname, the room, the reason you picked and the time.
Technical data: as with any internet connection, the server receives your IP address and connection details. Google Cloud's technical logs are kept for up to 30 days, for security and to fix problems.

We don't collect location, contacts, photos, microphone, advertising identifiers, or health or payment data.

3. Usage statistics and crash reports

To learn how the game is played and to fix problems, the app and the website use Google Analytics for Firebase and, on iPhone, iPad and Android, Firebase Crashlytics. They record:

Game usage: app opens and session length, screens visited, game starts and endings (country, offline or online mode, number of players, computer level, candidate, result and number of turns), joining online rooms and forfeits.
Device data: model, operating system, language, app version, approximate country or region (derived from the IP address, which is not stored) and a random installation identifier. On the web, Analytics uses the site's own cookies for the same purpose.
Crashes: when the app closes because of an error, the technical error report and the device state at that moment.

We don't send your nickname, any names you type or room codes. We don't use advertising identifiers, don't combine this data with other apps or websites and don't use it for ads.

4. Why we use it

To run online mode: set up rooms, match players, resolve turns and show results (performance of the service you asked for).
To keep the game safe and respectful: nickname filter, blocking and reviewing reports (legitimate interest).
To improve the game and fix bugs, using usage statistics and crash reports (legitimate interest).

We don't sell data, don't use it for advertising and don't build profiles about you.

5. Who holds the data

Online data and statistics are stored with Google services (Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Firebase Hosting, Cloud Run, Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics), acting as our processor. The servers are in the United States, so data is transferred there under Google's contractual safeguards. We don't share data with anyone else unless the law requires it.

Other players see your nickname, your candidate, your reactions and the progress of the games you play together.

6. How long we keep it

Your nickname, blocks and anonymous identifier are kept while you use online mode, until you delete them.
Room and game history is kept while the online service exists. When you delete your data, your seat in past games remains for the other players, but without your identifier or your nickname.
Reactions are deleted automatically shortly after they're sent.
Reports you made are deleted with your data. Reports about a nickname may be kept as long as moderation needs them.
Usage statistics are kept for up to 14 months and crash reports for up to 90 days. They are not linked to your nickname or your online identifier.

7. How to delete your data

In the app: open Settings from the menu and tap Delete my online data. This immediately deletes your nickname, your blocks, the reports you made, your presence and reactions and your anonymous sign-in, and removes your identifier and nickname from games. If you're in an online game, you give it up. Offline games on your device are not affected.

By email: if you already deleted the app, write to ideatechapps@gmail.com with the nickname you used. We reply within 15 days.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under Brazil's LGPD, the EU/UK GDPR or US state laws), you can ask for access, correction, portability, deletion and information about how your data is shared. Just write to ideatechapps@gmail.com. You can also complain to your data protection authority.

9. Children

The game is not made for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data. Online mode has no chat and no free text: only a filtered nickname and preset reactions. If you're the parent or guardian of a child who used online mode, write to us and we'll delete the data.

10. Security

All communication uses encrypted connections (HTTPS). The database rules only let each player read what is theirs or belongs to their room, and only our server writes game data.

11. Changes

If this policy changes, we update the date at the top. Important changes are also announced in the app or on its store page.
