Data Storage and Security

Cloud Storage

Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services:

• Google Firebase: For storing leaderboard data and game statistics. Firebase's privacy policy applies to data stored on their servers.

• Apple App Store: For processing subscription payments. Apple's privacy policy applies to purchase transactions.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. Leaderboard data (username, scores, house) is visible to other users of the App. We may share anonymized, aggregated data for analytics purposes.

Push Notifications

The App may send daily push notifications for new challenges (Pwordle, Spell Connections, Quote of the Day). You can enable or disable these notifications in the App's settings or through your device's notification settings.

Children's Privacy

Potterhead is designed to be family-friendly. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The App does not require account creation or personal details. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.

• Choose not to provide a username for leaderboards
• Request deletion of your leaderboard data by contacting us
• Disable push notifications at any time
• Delete all local data by removing the App from your device

Leaderboard data is retained as long as the App is active. Local game data is retained until you delete the App. You may request deletion of your cloud data by contacting us.

App Store Integration

This App is distributed through the Apple App Store and is subject to Apple's privacy policies and terms of service in addition to our own.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the App or through app updates. Changes are effective immediately upon posting.
