King Me Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3 September 2026

This policy explains what data the King Me app collects, what it is used for, who it is shared with and how you can control it. It describes what the app actually does, rather than covering generic scenarios.

1. Who is responsible

Data controller: Jose Antonio Guerrero Avilés, independent developer of the King Me app, publishing under the trade name AGApps Studio.

For anything related to your data, including exercising the rights described in section 8, write to agapps.studio@gmail.com. We answer requests through this channel within the one-month deadline set by the GDPR.

2. What we collect

King Me never asks for your real name, your address or your phone number. This is everything the app handles:

Data	Where it comes from	Why
Account identifier	Firebase Authentication, when you sign in with Google or as a guest	Identifying your account and attaching your progress to it
Email address and name from your Google account	Your Google account, if you choose to sign in instead of playing as a guest	Creating and recovering your account. It is never shown to other players and never used to send you marketing email
Player name	You choose it when you start	Showing you on the rankings and in friend lists
Friend code	Generated by the server when your account is created, at random and in a short format such as `KM-4XH8-Q2P`. You do not choose it and it does not change	Letting someone add you as a friend without searching for you by name
Country	Derived from the language and region set on your device	Placing you in your country's ranking and giving you its flag, which you can change from your profile. The daily maze is the same one for the whole world, so your country does not decide which maze you play. We never use GPS or precise location
Profile photo	Your Google account, which serves it from its own servers. The app does not host any image	Showing it on your profile and in friend lists, only if you choose to display it: it is hidden by default and you can change that at any time
Run results: time, the path your finger traced through the maze, and attempts used	Generated as you play	Working out your position, building the rankings, enabling run comparison («ghosts») and detecting cheating
Historical stats and reigns	Accumulated from your results	The historical ranking and your profile
Friendships and friend requests	You create them	Your friends list and their rankings
Purchases: transaction identifier, product and platform	Google Play, when you buy something	Activating what you bought and making sure it is never granted twice. We never see or store your card or payment details: the store handles those entirely
App preferences	The settings you choose	Restoring your configuration when you switch devices
Device notification identifier	Firebase Cloud Messaging, if you agree to receive notifications	Sending you only the alerts you switched on in Settings
The app version you have installed	The app reads it from your phone when it starts	Knowing how many people are still on an old version, telling you to update when a version can no longer play, and understanding which version a bug happens on
Security and rate-limiting logs	Generated when a result or a request fails validation	Protecting the competition against cheating and abuse
Advertising identifier and related data	Google AdMob, while you see ads	Showing the ads that keep the game running. See section 5

Apart from advertising and notifications, which depend on your consent, the rest of this data is needed to play: without an account there is no progress, no ranking and no run comparison.

3. What other players can see

King Me is a competitive game, and some of your information is public by design. Any player can see: your player name, the flag of the country you choose to display, your profile photo (only if you choose to display it; it is hidden by default), your game statistics, your ranking position, and the path of your runs when someone compares their run against yours.

Your game statistics and ranking position cannot be hidden: they are the basis of the competition. Your email address, your account identifier and your friend code are never visible to other players.

4. Legal basis

Performance of a contract (GDPR article 6(1)(b)): creating your account, storing your progress, computing the rankings and delivering what you buy.
Legitimate interest (article 6(1)(f)): detecting cheating and abuse so the competition stays fair, and keeping the service secure.
Consent (article 6(1)(a)): notifications and personalised advertising. You can withdraw it at any time without affecting the rest of the game.

5. Advertising

King Me shows ads from Google AdMob. To serve them, Google may process your device's advertising identifier and other data under its own policy, available at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the app will ask for your consent before showing personalised advertising, and you will be able to change that decision later. You can remove ads entirely through the corresponding purchase in the in-game store.

6. Who we share data with

We do not sell your data and we do not pass it to third parties for their own commercial purposes. We rely on these providers, which process data on our behalf:

Google Firebase (authentication, database, notifications, server functions and anti-abuse protection).
Google AdMob (advertising).
Google Play (purchase validation).

Game data (your profile, your results, your friendships and your preferences) is stored in Google data centres located in Belgium: it does not leave the European Economic Area.

Advertising and authentication may involve processing by Google outside the EEA. Google covers those transfers with the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

7. How long we keep it

Your profile, statistics and friendships: for as long as your account is open.
Run paths («ghosts») and the day's attempts: deleted when the corresponding daily maze expires.
Security logs: 90 days from the moment they are recorded, then deleted automatically.
Purchase records: for as long as your account is open. They are deleted with it, like everything else. We neither issue nor store the invoice for your purchase: the seller is Google Play, and Google keeps it for whatever tax period applies to them. What we delete is our own internal note that the purchase happened.

8. Your rights

You can exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction and portability at any time by writing to agapps.studio@gmail.com.

Two of them are available directly in the app, with no need to write to us:

Rectification: you can change your player name and your flag, and choose whether your photo is displayed, from your profile.
Erasure: Settings → Account → Delete account permanently and irreversibly deletes your profile, your friendships, your historical statistics, your run paths and your purchase records. It asks for two confirmations because there is no way back. If you have already uninstalled the app and cannot reach that screen, the Delete your account page explains how to request it.

If you believe we have not handled your request properly, you can lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (www.aepd.es) or with your local supervisory authority.

9. Children

King Me is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone below that age. If we find such an account, we will delete it. If you are a parent or guardian and believe one exists, write to agapps.studio@gmail.com.

10. Automated decisions

To keep the competition fair, the server automatically checks every run and may invalidate a result that does not pass those checks, with no person involved. That decision affects your standing in the game and has no legal or financial consequences for you. If you believe one of your results was invalidated by mistake, write to agapps.studio@gmail.com and we will review it by hand.

11. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy we will update the date in the header and, when the change is significant, tell you inside the app. This page always holds the version in force.
