Age Up

Privacy Policy

Effective / last updated: 6 October 2026 · Website: playageup.com

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Age Up — Life Simulator Game (the “App”), developed by Patryk Jabłoński trading as PJI Interactive (“we”, “us”), handles data.

Contact: pjiinteractive@gmail.com
Website: https://playageup.com

This policy covers the Android app distributed via Google Play (including AdMob advertising, Firebase Analytics, Google Play Billing, and optional Cloud Player ID (welcome bonus only; Age Coin balance stays on device), with optional Google link to your Player ID).

playageup.com is connected to Firebase Hosting and serves only static marketing and legal pages (home, Privacy Policy, Terms, and Support). It does not host or run the playable game at any path, and it does not collect gameplay, wallet, or account data beyond what you choose to send if you email us (for example from Support).

This page describes our actual practices; it is not legal advice.

2. Data We Collect

A. Always collected (no sign-in required)

These apply on Android after you pass the 16+ age gate and (where Google’s consent flow requires it) after AdMob User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent allows ads. You do not need to open Options or sign in for these.

A local yes/no flag is stored on your device confirming the 16+ age gate answer. We do not collect your date of birth.

B. Only collected if you opt into “Cloud Player ID”

Optional Cloud Player ID is available under Options → Cloud Player ID (“Cloud Player ID (optional)”). It is not required to play, watch ads, or use Life Boosts. It does not move your Age Coin balance between devices.

Default (anonymous): Opting in creates a Firebase Authentication user with a unique ID (uid) only — no email, no display name, no personal profile. The App may show a short “Player ID” derived from that uid in Options.

Further optional step — Link Google: only if you choose “Link Google (optional)” (or “Sign in with Google”), via Firebase linkWithCredential. Then Firebase Authentication also receives your Google email, display name, and photo for that same uid — optional Google link to your Player ID. This is the only Cloud Player ID path that collects email or name, and only when you explicitly opt in.

On the device, the App may also remember the cloud uid (and Google email if linked) so welcome Age Coins cannot be farmed by deleting and re-creating the cloud account. That local link is cleared when you delete the cloud account from the App.

3. Data NOT collected

If you never open Options and never sign in, we do not create a Firebase Auth account or a Firestore wallet document for you. Beyond what AdMob and Firebase Analytics require after age confirmation and UMP consent (section 2.A), we do not collect additional personal profile data from you.

Your life save progress (lifeSim_save and related on-device game data) stays local to the device and is never uploaded to our servers or to Firestore.

4. Age Restrictions

On first launch, the App shows a self-declared age gate asking you to confirm you are 16 or older (or that you are under 16). This is not identity verification and we do not ask for a date of birth.

Until you confirm 16+, ads, analytics, cloud sync, and purchases stay disabled. If you select under 16, the App shows a full-screen block and you cannot play or use any game features. Your local save is not deleted. Ads, analytics, sign-in, and purchases remain off while blocked.

On the block screen you can choose “I tapped by mistake, I am 16 or older”, then confirm in a second step (“Confirm you are 16 or older?” with Confirm or Cancel). Confirming unblocks the App and continues into the game; Cancel keeps the block. This change-answer option is available every time the block screen appears, including on later launches if you previously selected under 16.

5. How players can delete their data

In-app

When signed in: Options → Cloud Player ID → Delete cloud account.

This removes:

This does not remove:

Without the App

Email pjiinteractive@gmail.com with subject “Age Up account deletion” and your Player ID from Options (or the Google email if you linked Google). We aim to process verified requests within 30 days. See also playageup.com/support.

Local save deletion

Uninstalling the App or clearing app storage removes local data. In-app, Save Life parks the current life in a local Saved Lives library on the device (up to five slots). A parked life always resumes from the moment you last left it — not from an older age. When you start a New Life or load another parked life, you park or abandon the current one; death removes that life from the library. On the web version, you can also use Export Save in Options for a downloadable backup file. The Android app keeps progress on-device and does not offer file export/import (browser download / file picker are unavailable in the app WebView).

6. Third-party services

The App uses these Google services:

Google may process data under Google’s Privacy Policy. For some products (for example Play account, AdMob, Google Sign-In), Google may act as an independent controller of its own services.

7. Data retention

Where the GDPR applies, we rely on these legal bases for the processing described above:

9. Security

We use technical and organizational measures appropriate to a small indie app: HTTPS encryption in transit; Firebase Security Rules that restrict Firestore wallet access to the signed-in owner of each users/{uid} document; and limited access to our developer / Firebase / Play Console accounts. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

10. International transfers

Our Cloud Firestore database for Cloud Player ID records is located in region eur3 (Europe). Other Google / Firebase services used by the App (for example Authentication, Analytics, AdMob, and Play Billing) may still process data in the United States or other countries outside your country of residence as part of Google’s standard infrastructure. Where GDPR or similar laws apply to transfers outside the EEA/UK, those transfers rely on Google’s contractual and legal mechanisms (for example Standard Contractual Clauses and other adequacy / transfer tools described in Google’s documentation and data processing terms).

11. Children’s privacy

The App is intended for players 16+, enforced by a self-declared age gate on first launch. Users who select under 16 are fully blocked from playing; we do not knowingly collect advertising, analytics, sign-in, or purchase data from them, because those features remain off and gameplay is unavailable until they use the change-answer confirmation to declare they are 16 or older. If you believe we hold cloud account data for someone under 16, contact pjiinteractive@gmail.com and we will delete it where required.

12. User rights (GDPR / CCPA and similar)

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights, except as permitted by law.

In-app deletion: Options → Cloud Player ID → Delete cloud account (only visible when signed in). This removes your Firebase Auth account and Firestore Cloud Player ID record. It does not remove your local life save. Life Boosts are ad-/Age Coin–based on the device wallet (not a separate Play entitlement in this build); local wallet data stays on the device except where the App clears linked Age Coins credits as part of that deletion flow. Age Coin packs are not sold in this build.

To exercise these rights by email, contact pjiinteractive@gmail.com (include your country of residence and, if relevant, your Player ID or the Google email linked to your Player ID). You can also use the deletion instructions on playageup.com/support. We aim to respond within 30 days.

Policy changes

We may update this policy when the App or law changes. The “last updated” date above will change. Significant changes may also be noted on this website or in the App.
