Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 18, 2026

ClairRiver Studios ("we", "us", or "our") provides the game ShredCrush. This Privacy Policy explains what information ShredCrush processes, why it is processed, and the choices available to you.

Information processed by ShredCrush

• Gameplay and progress data: completed levels, scores, stars, lives, power-ups, rewards, unlocked content, and related game state.
• Gameplay analytics: ShredCrush may record interactions such as tutorial and level starts or completions, scores and stars, Daily Draw usage, rewarded-ad choices, app version, device type, language, and general usage information. We use this information to understand game balance, feature use, and retention. Analytics events do not include your name, email address, message content, or game-board contents.
• Anonymous player identifier: the mobile game creates a Firebase anonymous account so cloud progress can be kept separate for each player. ShredCrush does not require your name, email address, or Google sign-in for this account.
• Device and advertising data: Google AdMob and its partners may process device identifiers, approximate location, app activity, ad interactions, diagnostics, and similar information to deliver, limit, secure, and measure ads, including rewarded ads.
• Purchase information: if in-app purchases are available, Google Play processes the payment. We may receive purchase status and entitlement information, but we do not receive your complete payment-card details.
• Technical data: platform services may process app version, device type, language, region, performance, crash, security, or network information needed to operate and improve the game.

Local and cloud storage

Preferences and gameplay data are stored locally on your device. On supported mobile builds, gameplay progress is also stored in Google Firebase using an anonymous player identifier. Cloud storage helps preserve progress and supports game rewards and inventory.

How information is used

• Operate ShredCrush and save your progress.
• Provide levels, lives, power-ups, daily rewards, and purchases.
• Show and measure ads, including optional rewarded ads.
• Protect the game, prevent abuse, and verify rewards or purchases.
• Diagnose problems and improve reliability and gameplay.
• Measure level difficulty, tutorial completion, feature use, and player retention.
• Meet legal and platform requirements.

Service providers

• Google Firebase Authentication: anonymous player authentication.
• Google Cloud Firestore and Cloud Functions: cloud progress, inventory, and account deletion.
• Google Firebase Hosting: game level data and public policy pages.
• Google Analytics for Firebase: aggregated gameplay and app-usage measurement.
• Google AdMob: advertising and rewarded ads.
• Google Play Billing: in-app purchase processing when purchases are offered.
• CrazyGames: platform services for the web version when played on CrazyGames.

These providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies. Learn more about Google's Privacy Policy.

Sharing and sale

We do not sell your personal information. Information may be shared with the service providers listed above to operate their services, when required by law, or when necessary to protect users, ShredCrush, or the public.

Retention and deletion

Gameplay data is retained while needed to provide the game. You can delete your anonymous cloud account and gameplay data from ShredCrush by opening Settings, selecting Reset Progress, and confirming Reset Everything. This also removes gameplay progress, scores, lives, power-ups, and daily reward state from that device. Audio, vibration, and display preferences are preserved.

Reset Everything also clears ShredCrush's local analytics state and asks the Firebase Analytics SDK to reset its identifier and data stored on that device. Previously aggregated or de-identified analytics may be retained by Google according to its retention policies and may not be connected to your anonymous ShredCrush cloud account.

For another deletion route, see our Account and Data Deletion page. Some records may be retained when required for security, fraud prevention, purchase verification, accounting, or legal compliance. Google Play purchase records are controlled by Google.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including encrypted network connections and authenticated access to cloud player data. No storage or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children

ShredCrush is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information in error, contact us so we can investigate and delete it where appropriate.

International processing

Service providers may process information in countries other than the one in which you live. Privacy and data-protection laws vary between countries.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as ShredCrush changes. The effective date above will be updated when revisions are published.
