The protection of user privacy is important to Winter Fish Lines. This Privacy Policy explains how the Winter Fish Lines mobile game handles information when you use the app.
Winter Fish Lines is a casual puzzle game where players connect glowing water lines between matching fish and coral nodes, complete levels, unlock rewards, switch visual themes, and open knowledge entries about ocean life.
Information Collection and Usage
Winter Fish Lines does not require users to create an account or provide personal details such as name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, camera access, or precise location.
However, the app uses third-party services that may automatically collect limited technical, analytics, crash, session, advertising, and attribution data. This data is used to keep the app functional, understand app performance, improve gameplay, fix errors, measure installs, and support advertising.
Local Game Progress
Winter Fish Lines may save basic gameplay progress locally on your device to make the game work properly. This may include:
- Unlocked and completed levels
- Selected difficulty
- Best moves or best completion time
- Collected rewards
- Unlocked knowledge entries
- Selected visual theme
- Settings such as sound and vibration
This local information is used for gameplay functionality and may be removed if you clear app data or uninstall the app.
Gameplay Features
The app uses gameplay logic to manage puzzle levels, difficulty settings, rewards, timers, stars, themes, sound, vibration, and unlocked content.
These features are part of the app functionality and do not require you to provide account information.
Firebase Analytics
Winter Fish Lines uses Google Firebase Analytics to understand how users interact with the app and to improve the game experience.
Firebase Analytics may collect information such as app opens, first launches, sessions, session duration, screen interactions, app updates, device model, operating system, approximate geography, app version, and app-instance identifiers. On Android, Firebase Analytics may also use the Advertising ID when available.
This information is used for analytics, app improvement, gameplay balancing, and understanding general app usage trends.
Firebase Crashlytics
Winter Fish Lines uses Firebase Crashlytics to detect, diagnose, and fix crashes, errors, and stability problems.
Crashlytics may collect crash reports, error logs, stack traces, app version, device model, operating system version, device state at the time of a crash, crash timestamps, and technical identifiers needed to group and diagnose issues.
This information is used only to improve app stability, fix bugs, and maintain app functionality.
Firebase Sessions
Winter Fish Lines may use Firebase Sessions to measure app session activity and connect session information with Firebase services such as analytics and crash diagnostics.
Firebase Sessions may collect session start and end information, session identifiers, timestamps, app version, device information, and related technical performance or stability data.
This information helps us understand app reliability and improve the user experience.
Google AdMob
Winter Fish Lines uses Google AdMob to display advertisements in the app.
AdMob may collect and process data such as device information, app information, advertising identifiers, IP address, approximate location, ad interactions, impressions, clicks, and other information used to deliver, measure, limit, and improve ads.
Depending on your device settings, consent choices, region, and Google policies, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. You can manage ad personalization through your device or Google advertising settings where available.
Google Play Install Referrer
Winter Fish Lines may use the Google Play Install Referrer API to understand how the app was installed and to measure marketing or store listing performance.
Install Referrer data may include the install referrer URL or parameters, the time when a referrer click happened, the time when installation began, the app version at first install, and whether the user interacted with an instant experience within the previous 7 days.
This data is used for install attribution, analytics, fraud prevention, and measuring app acquisition performance.
Third-Party Services
Winter Fish Lines uses the following third-party services:
- Google Firebase Analytics
- Google Firebase Crashlytics
- Firebase Sessions
- Google AdMob
- Google Play Install Referrer
These services may process data according to their own privacy policies and terms.
Internet Connection
Some parts of Winter Fish Lines may require an internet connection for analytics, crash reporting, advertising, session measurement, and install attribution. Core gameplay may still be available without an internet connection, depending on the app version and device state.
Location Data
Winter Fish Lines does not collect precise GPS location. Third-party services such as Firebase Analytics or AdMob may estimate approximate location from technical data such as IP address for analytics, security, advertising, and reporting purposes.
Sound and Vibration Settings
Winter Fish Lines may use sound and device vibration for gameplay feedback, such as button taps, successful connections, invalid moves, rewards, and level completion.
These features can be enabled or disabled in the app settings. Vibration is used locally on the device and is part of gameplay functionality.
Children's Privacy
Winter Fish Lines does not knowingly request or collect personally identifiable information from children.
The app may use analytics, crash reporting, session measurement, advertising, and install attribution services as described in this Privacy Policy. If you believe that a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.
Data Sharing
Winter Fish Lines does not sell, rent, or trade user personal information. Limited data may be processed by Google services used in the app for functionality, analytics, crash diagnostics, session measurement, advertising, and install attribution.
Data Security
We use trusted third-party services and reasonable technical measures to help protect app-related data. No method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, but we work to keep data processing limited to the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Resetting Progress and Controls
The app may include a reset progress option. Using this option can remove locally stored game progress, unlocked levels, rewards, selected settings, themes, and knowledge entries from the device.
You may also be able to limit or reset advertising identifiers and ad personalization through your device settings.
