Privacy Policy

Cruce (the Transylvanian card game)  ·  Last updated: 7 June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information the Cruce mobile game (package ro.cruce.game, the "App") collects, how it is used, and your choices. The App is operated by 7 Minutes Games ("we", "us"). By using the App you agree to this policy.

The App is a free card game. It contains no advertising, no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs, and we do not sell your data.

1. Information we collect

We collect only what the game needs to work:

• Account — your email address, and (if you sign in with Google) your Google account email and display name. Authentication is handled by Google Firebase Authentication; we never see or store your password.
• Profile — your display name, username, optional country, and your player tier.
• Gameplay — games played, won and lost, win streaks, and a recent match history (mode, result, scores, opponent/partner display names).
• Social — your friends, friend requests, gangs (groups), and game invitations.
• Chat — messages you send in the in-game table chat during online games.
• Technical — a push-notification token (Firebase Cloud Messaging) so we can notify you of invites and friend requests; an online-presence indicator so friends can see when you're online; and your in-app settings (deck, table colour, language, text size, sound), which are stored on your device.

2. How we use it

• To create and manage your account and profile.
• To run local and online multiplayer games and keep score.
• To provide friends, gangs, invitations and table chat.
• To send notifications you have enabled (game invites, friend requests).
• To maintain fair, server-verified game statistics.

3. Who we share it with

The App is built on Google Firebase / Google Cloud, which processes and stores data on our behalf: Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Realtime Database, Cloud Functions, Cloud Messaging (push), and Hosting. Their handling is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Other players can see your public profile (display name, username, country, tier, win/loss stats) and any chat messages you send in a game. Your email address and notification token are private and are not shown to other users. We do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers, and we do not sell it.

4. Storage and security

Data is stored in Google Cloud (primary region: Europe). Access is restricted by Firebase Security Rules and app-integrity checks (Firebase App Check). Sensitive fields such as your email and notification token are kept in an owner-only area readable only by you.

5. Data retention and deletion

We keep your data while your account exists. You can delete your account at any time from Profile → Delete Account in the App. Deletion is processed on our servers and removes your profile, stats, match history, friend/gang/invite records, presence and notification token. Account deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.

6. Children

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, e.g. 16 in parts of the EU). We do not knowingly collect data from children below that age. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live (e.g. under the GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, and to withdraw consent. You can edit your profile and delete your account in the App, or contact us using the details below for any other request.

8. International transfers

Our data is hosted primarily in Google Cloud's Europe region, but Google may process data in other countries where it operates. Such transfers are covered by Google's safeguards.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will revise the "Last updated" date above, and significant changes will be reflected here.
