Privacy Policy (English)

Effective 2026-09-27

Ehad Meshaker is a Hebrew party game developed and operated by Calium Software Engineering, Israel. It has no accounts and no sign-up, and it never asks for your full name, email or phone number. This page explains what is stored, where, and for how long.

No accounts

There is no registration, username, password or email address. To support multi-phone games the app receives a random anonymous identifier from Firebase Anonymous Auth. It is not linked to your identity, and we have no way to tell who is behind it.

Stored on your device

The nicknames you entered, game settings, the scores of the evening, the list of words already used, your PRO purchase status and local ad counters. All of it stays on the device and is removed when you uninstall the app.

Stored on the server

A multi-phone game creates a temporary room document in Firestore holding the room code, each player's nickname and anonymous identifier, and the game state (rounds, votes and scores). Only the players in that room can read it, and the nicknames are shown on every phone in the room. The room closes 6 hours after it was created, even if the game is still running; from then on nobody can read it. The server then deletes it automatically, usually within a further 24 hours, and server backups keep a copy for up to 7 days before it is gone too. Nicknames are free text: please do not type personal details there. Single-phone games send nothing to the server.

Analytics and crash reports

We use Firebase Analytics to see how many games start and finish and where errors occur. The events contain no nicknames, game words or room codes, but they are sent with a random installation identifier (and the device's advertising ID, where available), and Google infers an approximate location, at city or region level, from the IP address. We also use Firebase App Check to verify that requests come from the app itself.

If the app crashes, a crash report is sent through Firebase Crashlytics: the kind of failure, where in the code it happened, the device model, the OS and app versions, and a random installation identifier. It never includes names, game words, room codes or anything you typed. Reports are kept under Google's retention policy and used only to fix defects.

Advertising

The free tier shows Google AdMob ads: an interstitial, a rewarded video you choose to watch, and an adaptive banner. To serve and measure those ads, Google's ads SDK collects the device's advertising ID, an approximate location inferred from the IP address, which ads were shown and tapped, and performance and diagnostic data. Google uses this for advertising, measurement and fraud prevention, under its own policies. Where the law requires it, a Google UMP consent screen is shown first. On iOS the system App Tracking Transparency prompt is shown; it is used only for ad personalisation, and declining costs you nothing in the game. For PRO users the ads SDK is not initialised at all.

Purchase

The app offers one non-consumable in-app purchase, "PRO". It is processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play, which handle payment. We never see or store payment details.

Sharing

We do not sell data. Firebase (including Analytics and Crashlytics) processes data for us as a service provider, and the app stores handle the purchase. Google AdMob receives the advertising data described above and also uses it for Google's own purposes, under Google's policies. We hold nobody's full name, email or phone number.

Security

All traffic between the app and the server is encrypted in transit. No service is completely secure.

Deleting your data

Uninstalling the app deletes all local data. Room documents on the server are deleted automatically, as described above. Analytics and AdMob data is kept by Google under its retention periods. There is no account, so we have no way to tie data to you and delete it on request.

Children

The game is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children. The minimum age for use is the age shown in the content rating of the store you downloaded from.

Changes

We may update this policy. The updated version will be published on this page with a new date.
