Privacy policy

What your account holds

• A player ID, generated for you. It never changes and it is public: other players find you by it.
• Your display name and the avatar you chose from the set the app supplies.
• The sign-in behind it: a Firebase user ID. For a linked account, the fact that a Google sign-in is attached to that same user. Haven 52's own server never stores your email address.
• Your friends, the friend requests you have sent or received, and the players you have blocked.
• Your public matches: the game, the result and when it ended. Private matches are not recorded at all.
• Your coin activity, every credit and debit, and your purchases.
• Your two notification choices, and your device's push token while notifications are on.

There is no chat or messaging in Haven 52, so there are no messages to store. The website itself sets no cookies and runs no analytics.

What other players can see

• Your name, your avatar and your level.
• Your last five public results (win, loss, draw or quit) and your win percentage.
• Friends also see whether you are online and whether you are in a game.

They never see your coins, the amount you played for, what a match paid you, or your EXP. Those are only ever sent to you.

Permissions the app asks for

Notifications, and nothing else. You are asked only at the moment you turn one on, and everything in Haven 52 works if you say no or turn them off later in your system settings. There are exactly two notifications: a friend's match request, and your hourly reward becoming ready.

Haven 52 does not ask for your contacts, your photos, your location or your microphone.

Services we use

Your account, matches, friends and coin records are kept on Haven 52's own game server. A few Google services do specific jobs for the app:

Firebase Authentication

Signs you in, either as a guest or with your Google account. If you link Google, Firebase holds that sign-in.

Firebase Cloud Messaging

Delivers the two notifications, using a push token for your device while a notification is switched on.

Google Play

Handles coin purchases. The app receives confirmation of a purchase so coins can be credited once; it never sees your payment details.

Google AdMob

Shows ads, described in the next section.

Google's own use of this data is described in the Google Privacy Policy and in Privacy and Security in Firebase.

Ads

Haven 52 shows banner ads on some screens and offers rewarded ads you can choose to watch for coins. Ads are served by Google AdMob, which may collect device identifiers such as the advertising ID, and information about the ads you see and tap, to serve and measure ads. Where the law requires consent, for example in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, the app asks through Google's consent form before any ad loads.

When you finish a rewarded ad, Google confirms it to Haven 52's server so the coins are credited exactly once. You can read how Google uses information from apps that use its services, and you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings.

Deleting your account

In the app, open Profile, then Account, then Delete account. Deleting removes your profile, coins, friends, friend requests, blocks, push tokens and progression. Your player ID can no longer be found or signed in to, and your name is scrubbed.

The logins are released, so the same Google account or the same device starts a fresh account next time. Coin and match rows stay without anything personal in them, so other players' own history stays whole. There is no grace period and no undo.

A guest account lives on its device. If the app's data is cleared or the app is removed, that account and its progress are gone. Linking a Google account keeps the same account and its progress on the server instead.

No longer have the app? See how to ask for deletion without it.
