Privacy Policy for Lawnscapers

Effective date: July 26, 2026

Just ASK Interactive ("we," "us," "our") built the Lawnscapers mobile app as a free lawn-mowing puzzle game. This policy explains what information the app collects, why, and how you can control or remove it.

We do not show ads, use advertising or analytics SDKs, offer in-app purchases, or sell your personal information to anyone. The only automatic data collection in the app is crash reporting and an anonymous game account, both described below.

Information We Collect

Local device data (never leaves your device)

• A randomly generated player ID created the first time you open the app.
• Your puzzle progress, settings, gameplay statistics, and locally recorded best scores.

This data stays on your device. Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage deletes it.

Anonymous game account (created automatically)

The first time you open the app it creates an anonymous account through Firebase Authentication. This account is a random identifier tied to your installation of the app. It is not linked to your name, email, Google account, or any advertising identifier, and we cannot use it to identify you personally.

Its only purpose is to let you appear on the leaderboards without signing in, and to stop anyone from submitting scores in your name. If you uninstall the app or clear its storage, the identifier is gone and a new one is created next time — scores submitted under the old one stay on the leaderboard but can no longer be traced back to you or reclaimed by you.

Information you choose to provide

• Google Sign-In (optional). If you sign in with Google, we receive your Google account's email address, display name, profile photo, and a stable account identifier through Firebase Authentication. Sign-in is never required to play, view leaderboards, submit scores, or save local progress — its only benefit is keeping your scores if you change device. Signing in attaches your Google account to the anonymous account described above, so scores you submitted as a guest remain yours.
• Leaderboard scores. Completing a puzzle submits your score with a display name to the per-puzzle leaderboard, where it is publicly visible to other players. This happens whether or not you are signed in. The display name is the player name you chose in Settings — or "Anonymous," if you enable the "Anonymous on leaderboards" setting, which you can do at any time. Submitted scores cannot be edited afterwards; to remove them, see Data Retention & Deletion below.
• Puzzles you create (optional). If you create and share a puzzle, the puzzle and your creator name are stored and publicly visible to other players.
• Feedback submissions (optional). If you send feedback or a bug report, we receive the message you write, basic device information (device model, OS version, app version, screen size), and network status. The form gives you two controls before you submit:
  • "Include my player info" — attaches your player name and, if signed in, your account identifier and email. Turn it off to submit anonymously (an email you type into the form yourself is still included).
  • "Include diagnostic data" (bug reports only) — attaches a short log of your recent actions in the app, recent error messages, and session length, to help us reproduce the bug. Turn it off to omit all of it.
  • You can also attach a screenshot; it's only captured and sent if you choose to add one.

Automatically collected diagnostic data

• Crash and error reports. We use Firebase Crashlytics to automatically collect crash logs, non-fatal error reports, stack traces, and device identifiers (such as a Firebase installation ID) so we can find and fix bugs. Crash data is not tied to your name or email. Google retains Crashlytics crash data for approximately 90 days.

What we do not collect

• No precise location, contacts, photos/media (other than a screenshot you explicitly attach to feedback), microphone, camera, or payment information.
• No advertising identifiers and no third-party ad or analytics networks.
• No tracking across other apps or websites.

How We Use Information

We use the information above only to:

• Save your progress and let you play offline.
• Operate the optional global leaderboards and community puzzle sharing.
• Respond to feedback and bug reports you submit.
• Diagnose and fix crashes and errors.

We do not use your data for advertising or profiling.

Third-Party Service Providers

Lawnscapers relies on Google services to store and process the data described above, under Google's privacy policy:

• Google Firebase (Firestore, Cloud Storage, Authentication, Crashlytics) — stores scores, shared puzzles, feedback submissions, and crash diagnostics. Data is processed on Google's servers, which may be located outside your country.

We do not share your information with any other third parties, and we never sell it.

Data Retention & Deletion

• Local data (progress, settings, local scores) is deleted when you uninstall the app or clear its app storage.
• Server-stored data (account link, submitted scores, shared puzzles, feedback) can be deleted on request at any time — see our Data Deletion page for exactly what gets deleted and how to ask, or email us directly at the address below. We delete within 30 days of a verified request.
• Crash data is retained by Google for approximately 90 days and then deleted automatically.

Children's Privacy

Lawnscapers is a general-audience puzzle game and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email below or use the Data Deletion page.

Security

We rely on Google Firebase's infrastructure and industry-standard security practices (including Firestore security rules restricting writes to authenticated users) to protect the information we collect. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
