Scope and who we are
This Privacy Policy applies to the Crown Race Android game, its online multiplayer services, and the Crown Race website. Crown Race is developed and operated by Ali Haider in Pakpattan, Pakistan.
By using Crown Race, you acknowledge the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not create an account or use the online services.
Information we handle
We process the following categories when they are required by features you choose to use.
Account and profile
Name, email address where available, an optional phone number, an encrypted password hash for password accounts, and an optional profile picture. We do not store your password in readable form.
Social sign-in
If you continue with Google or Facebook, we receive the provider name, a stable provider-specific account identifier, and profile details the provider makes available, such as your name, email address, and profile picture.
Device and security
App-generated device and tenant identifiers, authentication sessions, security records, login times, and Firebase installation identifiers.
Gameplay and multiplayer
Display name, rooms, invitations, moves, match results, ranks, ratings, selected rules, and connection or reconnection status.
Optional voice messages
If you hold the microphone button during an online match, the app records a voice message from two to ten seconds long and sends it to the other players in that match for immediate playback.
Purchases
Product, entitlement, and purchase-status information provided by Google Play. We do not receive or store your full card or bank details.
Messages to us
If you use our website contact form, we store your name, email, optional subject, message, submission time, and review status.
Technical and advertising
Advertising identifiers, IP address, general location inferred from IP, app interactions, and diagnostic information may be processed by our advertising and security providers.
Some preferences, virtual coin balances, unlocked board or dice themes, and ad-removal status are stored locally on your device or obtained from Google Play.

Retention and security
Account and profile information is generally kept while your account is active. Multiplayer history and ratings may be retained while the account remains active to preserve match integrity and rankings; associated multiplayer records are removed when the account is deleted. Contact messages are retained only as long as reasonably needed to respond, maintain support records, or meet a legal obligation. Expired authentication, invitation, and security records are removed or become unusable according to operational schedules.
A Google or Facebook identity link, including its provider-specific identifier and imported profile fields, is generally retained while the Crown Race account remains active or until that identity is safely unlinked. Limited security records may be retained for a reasonable period where needed to prevent abuse or meet legal obligations.
Online-match voice messages are relayed in real time and are not saved to our database, game history, or server files. Temporary app cache files are deleted after sending or playback. Audio may remain briefly in device memory, application process memory, or network buffers until those systems reclaim it.
We use safeguards designed to protect information, including encrypted network connections, one-way password hashing, access controls, short-lived access tokens, secure session handling, and restricted administrative access. No internet or storage system is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
Crown Race is operated from Pakistan, and service providers may process information in other countries. Data-protection rules may differ between those locations.
Your choices and controls
- Profile: review or correct your name, optional phone number, and profile picture through the application’s profile controls.
- Social sign-in: manage Crown Race access in your Google or Facebook settings. Removing access there stops future provider authorization but does not by itself delete your Crown Race account or data.
- Blocked players: block an opponent from the Players menu during an online match. We store the two player identifiers, the opponent’s display name, and the block date to prevent messages and future matches between you. Manage your list from Profile → Blocked players. These records are removed when either account is deleted.
- Notifications: disable Crown Race notifications in Android system settings.
- Microphone: voice messages are optional and are recorded only while you hold the microphone button. You may deny or revoke microphone permission in Android settings.
- Advertising: use the consent choices presented in the app where required and manage advertising controls in your Android or Google settings.
- Optional features: you may choose not to upload a profile picture or use online multiplayer, contact, advertising-reward, or purchase features.
- Privacy request: contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or other rights available under the laws that apply to you.
Account and data deletion
Request deletion of your Crown Race account
You may permanently delete your Crown Race account and associated server data at any time. Start deletion inside the app from your authenticated Profile screen. If your account has a registered email address, you may also use the secure deletion page and verify ownership with a one-time code sent to that address. Social-only users who cannot access the app may contact us so we can securely verify ownership and process the request.
Securely delete accountYour profile, email, optional phone number, password hash, profile picture, Google or Facebook identity link, account-device association, sessions, Firebase installation association, multiplayer rooms, game records, invitations, ranking and linked support messages.
Your Google or Facebook account, Google Play purchase history, and data independently controlled by identity, advertising, payment, or legal-service providers remain subject to those providers' policies.
Uninstalling the app does not automatically delete an online account. Account deletion does not automatically cancel, refund, or remove transactions maintained by Google Play. Deleting Crown Race data does not delete your Google or Facebook account, and disconnecting Crown Race in a provider's settings does not delete your Crown Race account.
Children’s privacy
Crown Race is a general-audience game and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under the minimum age required in their country without appropriate authorization. If you believe a child provided personal information improperly, contact us so we can investigate and delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when Crown Race, its providers, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top will be revised. Material changes may also be communicated through the app, website, or store listing where appropriate.

Google and Facebook sign-in
Social sign-in is optional. Google or Meta authenticates you and sends Crown Race only the information authorized for sign-in. Facebook may not provide an email address, so Crown Race uses the provider-specific account identifier—not an email address—as the primary link to a social account. We do not receive your Google or Facebook password.
We do not automatically merge Crown Race accounts merely because their email addresses match. Linking a password, Google, or Facebook identity requires an authenticated confirmation. A social-only account may add a recovery method where the app offers that option.
