Privacy Policy

Mega Cup Glory is published by Nexus Software Systems L.P. (“Nexus”, “we”, “us”), an independent software studio based in Athens, Greece. We are the data controller for any personal data described in this policy. You can reach us any time at contact@nexussoftdev.com.

This policy explains what information the Mega Cup Glory app handles, why, and the choices and rights you have. It applies worldwide to the iOS and Android versions of the game.

By default, Mega Cup Glory is a single-player game and keeps your information locally on your phone or tablet. This includes your match and tournament progress, statistics, unlocked achievements, your chosen difficulty, and audio and gameplay preferences.

This on-device data is not transmitted to us. It is removed if you delete the app or clear its data through your device settings.

Mega Cup Glory includes optional global, country and weekly leaderboards and a friends feature. These work only if you choose to set up a player identity inside the game. If you do, the following information is sent to and stored on our backend so other players can see where you rank:

• A display name you choose. This can be any nickname — you are not asked for, and should not enter, your real name. Names are length-limited and filtered for offensive content.
• A country you select from a list (used for country leaderboards and a flag).
• Your game scores for the relevant boards (for example your best career score and your weekly score).
• A friend code and an anonymous identifier, so friends can find and follow your entry.

To make this possible we sign your app in anonymously with Google Firebase. This creates a random, app-specific identifier that is not linked to your name, email, Google account or any other identity. We never receive your real-world identity through this process.

If you never set up an identity, no profile or score data leaves your device and you will simply not appear on the online boards.

Mega Cup Glory uses Firebase Analytics (anonymous usage statistics) and Firebase Crashlytics (crash and error reports) to understand how the game is played and fix problems quickly. This is optional and off by default in the EEA and UK — you choose whether to turn it on when you first open the game — and everywhere you can switch it off at any time in Settings ▸ Privacy. When it is on, it shares anonymous in-app events (which modes and screens you use), crash logs and technical diagnostics, a random app-specific instance identifier (not your advertising ID and not linked to your name), and an approximate city-level location that Google derives from your IP address. This data is never used for advertising, is not sold, and is not tied to your name or leaderboard nickname; Google processes it on our behalf (see section 5). If you leave statistics off, none of it is collected.

Whether or not you enable statistics, the app never collects or processes:

• your real name, email address, phone number, or postal address;
• your precise or background location;
• your contacts, photos, microphone or camera;
• advertising identifiers (IDFA / Android Advertising ID);
• advertising or marketing SDKs, or any cross-app or cross-site tracking.

If this changes in future — for example if we add advertising or optional paid content — we will update this policy before the feature goes live and name any new providers in section 5. Advertising, if introduced, would be served by third-party ad networks that may collect device and usage data and an advertising identifier in order to show and measure ads; where the law requires it we will ask for your consent first, and we will not knowingly show personalised (interest-based) ads to players under the age that applies where they live — they would receive only non-personalised ads.

Our backend for the optional leaderboards and friends features is Google Firebase — specifically Firebase Authentication (anonymous sign-in) and Cloud Firestore (storing leaderboard and friend entries), and — only if you enable statistics — Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics (usage statistics and crash reports). Google processes this data on our behalf as a data processor. You can read Google’s privacy practices at firebase.google.com/support/privacy and policies.google.com/privacy.

The Apple App Store and Google Play distribute the app and may process limited data (such as download and crash information) under their own privacy policies; that processing is outside our control.

If we later add optional paid content or in-app purchases, payments are handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play under their own terms; we receive confirmation that a purchase was made but never your full card details. Any advertising or analytics providers we may introduce will be listed here, with links to their privacy policies, before they go live.

For users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, we rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR: your consent — which you give by choosing to set up an identity and join the online leaderboards, and separately by turning on optional usage and crash statistics (you can withdraw either at any time, see sections 4 and 8); and our legitimate interest in operating a fair leaderboard and preventing abuse (for example, filtering offensive names and capping impossible scores).

Firebase may store and process data on servers located outside your country, including in the United States. Where required, such transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards (such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses) put in place by Google.

On-device data lives until you delete it or uninstall the app. Leaderboard and friends entries are kept while they remain in use so that rankings stay meaningful. You can delete your online profile and every leaderboard entry yourself, instantly, from Settings ▸ Delete Online Profile in-game. If you’ve already uninstalled the app, email contact@nexussoftdev.com instead — because online entries are anonymous, please tell us the exact display name, country and friend code you used so we can find and remove the right record. See the Delete Data page for step-by-step instructions.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent. Residents of the EEA and UK have these rights under the GDPR; California residents have comparable rights under the CCPA/CPRA. We do not “sell” or “share” personal information as those terms are defined under California law. To exercise any right, contact us at the address above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Mega Cup Glory is family-friendly, but it is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. You should be at least 13 to use the app. Between 13 and the age of digital consent where you live — 13–16 in the EU/EEA (for example 14 in Greece), and 13 in the UK and the US — a parent or guardian should review this policy and the optional online features with you. Because the game requires no real identity and the only optional online data is a freely chosen, filtered nickname plus a country and a score, it does not gather personal details from players of any age, and if we ever introduce advertising we will not knowingly serve personalised ads to anyone under the applicable age. If you believe a child has provided us with information you’d like removed, contact us and we will delete it.

Data sent to our backend is transmitted over encrypted connections and stored using Google Firebase’s security infrastructure, with access rules that let a player write only their own entry. No method of transmission or storage is ever completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect the limited data involved.

We may update this policy as the game evolves. When we do, we’ll revise the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, note it within the app or on this page. Continued use of Mega Cup Glory after an update means you accept the revised policy.
