Privacy Policy Deep Dig DS
Deep Dig DS Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 11, 2026
Developer/Publisher: DNA Mobile Gaming
Deep Dig DS ("the Game") is developed and published by DNA Mobile Gaming. This Privacy Policy explains what information the Game collects, how it is used, and the choices available to players.
1. Information We Collect
Deep Dig DS can be played without submitting a public leaderboard score. The Game may store basic gameplay information locally on your device, including your local high score, deepest dig, settings, and other game preferences.
If you choose to create an online profile or use the online leaderboard, Deep Dig DS may process the following information:
• Username
• Email address
• Firebase user ID (UID)
• High score
• Deepest dig / gameplay depth
• Other information needed to maintain your profile and leaderboard position
Your username, high score, deepest dig, and leaderboard position may be displayed publicly in the in game leaderboard. Your email address is not displayed publicly.
2. Account Registration and Login
Deep Dig DS uses Firebase Authentication to provide account creation and login services.
When you create a profile, you provide a username, email address, and password. Your password is handled by Firebase Authentication and is not stored in plain text by Deep Dig DS or written to the Game's Realtime Database.
Your Firebase account is associated with a unique Firebase UID. That UID is used to associate your username, profile data, and leaderboard entry with your account.
If you uninstall the Game and later reinstall it, you can sign in again using the same email address and password. Deep Dig DS can then retrieve the username and online leaderboard identity associated with that Firebase UID.
Email verification is not currently required to use a Deep Dig DS account.
3. Anonymous Authentication
Deep Dig DS may initially use Firebase Anonymous Authentication before a permanent profile is created.
If you later create an email/password account, the Game may link the existing anonymous Firebase account to your email/password credentials. This allows your existing Firebase UID, username reservation, and leaderboard identity to continue under the permanent login.

4. Leaderboards and High Scores
Players may choose to submit their local high score to the Deep Dig DS online leaderboard. The leaderboard may publicly display:
• Username
• High score
• Deepest dig
• Leaderboard position
A new score is submitted only when the player chooses to submit it and the local high score is higher than the player's previously submitted online score.
Email addresses and passwords are not displayed on the leaderboard.
5. Local Game Data
Deep Dig DS may store information locally on your device, including:
• Local high score
• Deepest dig
• Game preferences and settings
• Cached profile display information such as your username
• Login/session information managed by Firebase
• Other information required for the Game to operate
Some locally stored information may be removed if you clear the Game's data or uninstall the application. Online profile and leaderboard information may remain in Firebase until deleted.
6. Firebase and Google Services
Deep Dig DS uses Google Firebase services, including Firebase Authentication and Firebase Realtime Database.
Firebase may automatically process certain technical information needed to provide its services, such as authentication data, device or app information, IP address, and service-related diagnostic information.
Google's handling of information through Firebase is governed by Google's own privacy terms and policies. More information is available at https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy and
https://policies.google.com/privacy.
7. How We Use Information
Information processed by Deep Dig DS is used for purposes related to operating the Game, including:
• Creating and maintaining player accounts
• Signing players back into their existing account
• Restoring usernames and profile information
• Preventing duplicate usernames
• Maintaining and displaying leaderboard scores
• Showing leaderboard rankings
• Saving gameplay records
• Providing game functionality
• Protecting the integrity of player accounts and leaderboard data

8. Data Sharing
DNA Mobile Gaming does not sell personal information.
Information may be processed by service providers that are necessary to operate Deep Dig DS, such as Google Firebase.
Information may also be disclosed when required by law, or when reasonably necessary to protect the security, rights, or integrity of the Game, DNA Mobile Gaming, or its users.
9. Advertising
Deep Dig DS does not currently use advertising services for targeted advertising or ad-profile collection.
If advertising or additional third-party services are introduced in a future version, this Privacy Policy will be updated as appropriate.
10. Children's Privacy
Deep Dig DS does not intentionally request sensitive personal information from children.
Players should not submit personal information unless they are permitted to do so under the laws that apply to them. A parent or guardian who believes that personal information relating to a child has been submitted may contact DNA Mobile Gaming to request its removal.
11. Data Security
Reasonable measures are used to protect player information. Account passwords are handled by Firebase Authentication rather than being stored directly by Deep Dig DS.
However, no internet-based service or electronic storage system can guarantee absolute security.
12. Account and Data Deletion
Players may request deletion of their Deep Dig DS online account and associated information, including their profile, username association, and leaderboard entry.
To request account or data deletion, contact DNA Mobile Gaming at:
dnaappdevelopment@gmail.com
Please provide enough information to identify the account associated with the request. Local game information can also be removed by clearing the application's data or uninstalling the application.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated when Deep Dig DS receives new features, online services, or changes to how information is processed. When the policy changes, the effective date at the top of this document will be updated.
