Privacy Policy - Pocket LAN Party

Last updated: November 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how GGalilea ("we", "our") handles your information when you use the mobile application Pocket LAN Party ("the App").

1. Introduction

Pocket LAN Party is a collection of mini-games you can play alone or with friends on the same local network. We do not run any servers of our own: the App has no accounts of its own and no online profile. On Android you can optionally sign in to Google Play Games to earn achievements and appear on leaderboards (see section 4).

2. Data Stored on Your Device

The following data is stored only in the App's private storage on your device and is permanently deleted if you uninstall the App:

• Your settings and preferences, and whether you own an in-app purchase.
• Player name you choose and a random player ID generated by the App. The player ID is not linked to your identity, your device or any advertising identifier.
• Your game progress, such as races played and won and your best times.

On Android, if device backup is turned on, the system may back up this data to your Google account so it can be restored on a new device. That backup is handled by Google and you can turn it off in your device settings.

3. Local Network Play

When you host or join a match, the App connects directly to the other players' devices on the same local network (Wi-Fi or hotspot).

• Only the data needed to play is exchanged: your player name, your random player ID and the in-game information needed for the match.
• This data travels only inside your local network, is never sent to the internet by the App, and is used only for the match.

4. Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services, which process data under their own privacy policies:

• Google Play Games Services (Google LLC): on Android, if you sign in to Google Play Games, the App sends your achievements, your game progress and your best race times to Google Play Games, linked to your Play Games profile. Your gamer name, avatar and scores may be shown to other players on leaderboards, according to your Play Games settings. You can play without signing in. Google privacy policy
• Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.): if the App crashes or hits an error, it sends an error report (device model, operating system version, app version, a random installation identifier and technical details of the error) so we can fix it. Reports do not contain your player name or the content of your games. Sentry privacy policy
• Google AdMob: shows ads in the App. AdMob may collect your device's advertising identifier (the Android Advertising ID or, on iOS, the IDFA if you allow it), other device identifiers and usage data to serve and measure ads. Where required by law (e.g. in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), the App asks for your consent before personalized ads are shown, and you can change your choice from within the App; if you decline, you may still see non-personalized ads. On iOS, the App asks for permission to track you (App Tracking Transparency) before AdMob can use the IDFA; if you decline, ads are not personalized. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings. How Google uses information from apps that use its services · Google privacy policy
• Google Play Billing (Google LLC): if you make an in-app purchase on Android, Google processes the payment under its own terms. The App only asks Google Play on your device whether you own the purchase and never receives your payment details. Google privacy policy

5. Contacting Us

If you contact us by email, we use your address and message only to reply and to improve the App.

6. Device Permissions

• Internet / network access: used for local network play, Google Play Games, ads and error reports.
• Local network (iOS): used only to find and connect to other players' devices on your Wi-Fi network for multiplayer matches.
• Advertising ID (Android): read by AdMob to serve and measure ads, as described in section 4.
• Tracking (iOS, App Tracking Transparency): asked before AdMob can use the IDFA; you can change it at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.

These permissions are never used to collect data regarding your location, contacts or files.

7. Children's Privacy

The App is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when the App changes. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it was last revised.
