Cosmos Vector Zero is a sci-fi platformer with maths quizzes, made by Cosmos Coaching Centre for secondary school students. This policy explains what information the game collects, why, and the choices you have.
The short version: there are no accounts, no ads and no real-money purchases. We don’t ask for your name, email or photos. The game uses Google Firebase to load quiz questions and to understand how the game is played so we can improve it.
1Information we collect
| What | Examples | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Gameplay activity | Levels started and finished, quiz scores and answer times, items bought with in-game vectorite, session length. | To see which levels and questions are too hard or too easy and improve the game. |
| Device and app information | Phone model, Android version, app version, language, screen size, crash and performance reports. | To fix bugs and keep the game running smoothly. |
| Identifiers | A Firebase app instance ID and your device’s Android advertising ID. | To count players and sessions without knowing who you are. The advertising ID is used for analytics only, never for ads. |
| Approximate region | Country or city, worked out by Google from your IP address. | To understand where players are. We never collect precise GPS location. |
We do not collect your name, email, phone number, contacts, photos, microphone, camera or precise location.
2Information stored on your phone
Your save game (unlocked levels, vectorite, guns, armour, upgrades and settings such as control size and volume) is stored only on your device. It is not uploaded to us. Uninstalling the game deletes it.
3Services we use
The game uses these Google Firebase services, which process data on our behalf under Firebase’s privacy terms (https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy):
- Google Analytics for Firebase for the gameplay, device and identifier data in section 1.
- Cloud Firestore to download the quiz question bank.
- Firebase Remote Config to adjust game settings, such as quiz timers, without an app update.
Google may process this data on servers outside Australia. Data is encrypted while it travels between your phone and Google.
4What we don’t do
- We don’t show ads or use any advertising networks.
- We don’t sell or rent your information, or share it with anyone except Google as our service provider.
- We don’t offer chat or let players contact each other.
- We don’t sell anything for real money. Vectorite is earned in the game only.
5How long we keep it
Analytics data linked to an app instance or advertising ID is kept for up to 14 months, then deleted automatically. Summary reports with no identifiers, such as “how many players finished Level 2”, may be kept longer.
6Your choices
- Reset or delete your advertising ID: on Android, go to Settings > Privacy > Ads (or Settings > Google > Ads).
- Remove all data on your phone: uninstall the game.
- Ask us to delete analytics data: contact us using the details below and we will help.
7Age
Cosmos Vector Zero is intended for players aged 13 and over. It is not directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has used the game, contact us and we will delete any related data we can identify.
8Security
We rely on Google Firebase’s security, including encryption in transit. Because we don’t collect names or contact details, the data we hold can’t be used to identify you directly.
9Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we’ll update this page and the effective date at the top. Significant changes will also be noted in the game’s Play Store update notes.
