Privacy Policy

Pier Pressure · Last updated: July 2, 2026

Pier Pressure ("the game", "we", "us") is a single-player charge-and-jump arcade game. We collect as little data as possible — just enough to run the online leaderboards and, when we advertise the game, to measure which campaign led to your install. This page explains what we collect and why.

Information we collect

• Nickname — a name you choose (up to 12 characters). It is shown publicly on the leaderboards and is the key for your leaderboard entry (best score per nickname).
• Scores — your best score, submitted to the daily and all-time leaderboards, with a timestamp.
• Anonymous account ID — a random identifier created by Firebase Anonymous Authentication so the game can save your leaderboard entry. It is not linked to your real name, email, phone number, or any other real-world identity.
• Advertising identifier & attribution data (Adjust) — we use Adjust, a mobile measurement provider, to measure installs, sessions, and a few gameplay milestones, and — when we promote the game through advertising — to understand which campaign led to your install. This may include your device's Google Advertising ID (GAID), a truncated IP address, and basic device and install/event information. It is used for attribution and aggregate measurement only, not to identify you personally, and the game itself shows no ads.

Information we do NOT collect

• No real name, email address, phone number, or postal address.
• No precise or coarse location.
• No contacts, photos, files, microphone, or camera access.
• No in-app advertising — the game shows no ads. (We do read your device's advertising ID for install attribution only — see above.)
• No profile-based ad targeting inside the game, and no selling of your data.

How we use your information

• To display the leaderboards (your nickname and best score, daily and all-time).
• To keep your leaderboard entry tied to your nickname so it persists — re-enter the same nickname to keep your place after a reinstall or on a new device.
• To measure installs/sessions/milestones and, when advertising, attribute installs to campaigns (aggregate measurement only).

Where your data is stored and who can access it

Leaderboard data is stored and processed using Google Firebase (Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore), which acts as our data processor. Google's handling of this data is governed by the Firebase Privacy and Security terms and the Google Privacy Policy.

Attribution and measurement data is processed by Adjust acting as our service provider, under Adjust's Privacy Policy. When you install the game after interacting with one of our advertisements, Adjust shares limited attribution information — such as which advertising campaign led to the install — with the advertising network that served the ad, so the campaign's performance can be measured. We do not sell your data, and apart from this attribution measurement we do not share it with advertisers or other third parties.

Network access

The app uses the internet only to sync leaderboard scores with Firebase and to send attribution measurements to Adjust. The rest of the game works offline.

Data retention and deletion

Your leaderboard entry is tied to your nickname so it can persist. To have your nickname and leaderboard entry deleted, email us at the address below and we will remove them.

Your choices

You can reset your device's advertising identifier or opt out of ad personalization at any time in your device settings (Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads → "Reset advertising ID" / "Delete advertising ID"). Doing so limits attribution measurement; it does not affect the leaderboards.

Children's privacy

The game is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The only personal data the game stores is a nickname you choose. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us and we will delete it.
