Privacy Policy | Red Zeppelin Studio

1. Introduction

Red Zeppelin Studio ("we", "our", or "us") operates the SplitSecond mobile application ("SplitSecond", "the App") — a real-time 1v1 timing duel game, with a solo Practice mode and a daily Challenge leaderboard. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it is used, and your choices around it.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account Information

You can start playing SplitSecond instantly as a guest, by choosing a username only — no email or password is required. If you choose to save your account (so your matches and stats survive a lost phone), you can sign in with Google or Apple. In that case we store:

Your chosen username
A unique identifier for your Google or Apple account, used to sign you back in
Your email address, only if your provider shares it and it's marked verified

We never see or store your Google or Apple password.

2.2 Gameplay Data

We store your match history, round-by-round results, practice session history, and daily Challenge scores so we can show you your stats and personal bests.

2.3 Multiplayer Visibility

Your username is shown to the opponent you're matched against during a live duel. If you rank on a given day's Daily Challenge leaderboard, your username and score are visible to other players on that leaderboard.

2.4 Usage Data

We use Firebase Analytics to collect usage data such as screens viewed, matches and practice sessions played, daily Challenge participation, and general app performance and crash information.

3. How We Use Information

Operate matchmaking and live duels between players
Maintain your match history, stats, and daily Challenge leaderboard standing
Let you sign back into the same account across sessions and devices
Understand which features are used, in aggregate, to improve the App
Diagnose and fix crashes or technical issues
Comply with legal obligations

4. Advertising

SplitSecond shows ads through Google AdMob: an interstitial ad after each online 1v1 match and after each Practice session. You can also choose to watch a rewarded ad to unlock an extra free online match for the day — this is always optional and only happens when you tap to request it. The Daily Challenge is always ad-free. Ads are currently served as non-personalized ads.

5. Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services, which may process limited data as described above:

Google Firebase Analytics – usage analytics
Google AdMob – interstitial and rewarded advertising
Google Sign-In / Sign in with Apple – optional account sign-in
Apple App Store / Google Play – app distribution

6. Data Retention

We retain your account and gameplay data for as long as your account exists. If you delete your account, your personal data is removed; aggregated, non-identifying analytics may be retained for as long as necessary to understand and improve the App.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data, or to object to or restrict its processing. You can delete your account and its data at any time by contacting us at the email below.

8. Children's Privacy

SplitSecond is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

9. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
