Solves, sessions, scrambles, penalties, timestamps, and detailed performance data are private by default unless you choose to share them. Shared solves may include the full solve-related information available for that solve.

Personal bests may be public by default as part of your profile and competitive identity within the Service.

For offline support, Cubing4Everyone uses local device storage, including SQLite-based storage where applicable.

2.8 Advertising-Related Data

Depending on platform, SDK behavior, region, consent settings, and enabled ad features, ad partners may process information such as:

We intend to disclose advertising-related data processing based on the actual technologies and settings used in the final implementation.

We may use information to:

• create and manage accounts
• authenticate users and recover access to accounts
• provide timer, solve, session, and statistics features
• synchronize data across devices

We may share information with other users when:

• logged-in users view follow and follower lists or search for users within the Service

5.2 With Service Providers and Infrastructure Partners

We may use third-party providers and infrastructure services, including services for:

• authentication
• cloud database storage
• file storage
• app integrity and backend protection
• crash reporting and diagnostics
• advertising

These providers may process information as needed to operate the Service on our behalf or as part of the technical delivery of the Service.

5.3 For Legal, Safety, and Enforcement Reasons

We may disclose information if reasonably necessary to:

• comply with applicable law or legal process
• enforce our terms or policies
• protect users, the Service, or the public
• detect, investigate, or prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, or other harmful conduct

Cubing4Everyone may use third-party services such as:

• Firebase Authentication
• Cloud Firestore
• Firebase Storage
• Firebase App Check
• Firebase Crashlytics
• SQLite and other local device storage
• Google AdSense
• Google AdMob

These services may process data according to their own technical roles and documentation.

Cubing4Everyone may show different ad formats on supported platforms, including banner, interstitial, rewarded, or other supported ad experiences.

We do not intend to target ads specifically to children. However, if ads are shown, they may be shown generally to users of the Service unless restricted by platform rules, ad settings, legal requirements, or age and consent-related controls.

If required by applicable law or platform requirements, we may implement consent mechanisms, cookie notices, or ad and privacy controls for web and mobile users.

On the web and in supported app environments, Cubing4Everyone may use cookies, local storage, SQLite, and similar technologies to:

• keep users signed in
• remember preferences
• support account recovery flows
• cache data
• support offline usage
• queue synchronization actions
• support security and abuse prevention
• support advertising and consent flows where applicable

You may be able to control some cookies or local storage behavior through your browser or device settings, but disabling them may affect the functionality of the Service.

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, maintain accounts, support synchronization, enforce policies, comply with law, resolve disputes, and protect the Service.

Examples:

• account and profile data are generally retained while your account exists
• solves and sessions are retained until deleted by you or until account deletion
• local offline data may remain on your device until synchronized, cleared, or deleted
• crash and diagnostic data may be retained according to the practices of the services used to process them
• basic report and moderation records may be retained when reasonably necessary for safety, abuse prevention, dispute handling, or legal compliance

Cubing4Everyone supports offline functionality for certain features.

When you are offline:

• some data may be stored locally on your device
• synchronization may occur automatically once internet access becomes available

If multiple states must be reconciled during synchronization, the most recent valid sync state prevails.

If you delete your account before locally stored pending data is synchronized, that pending local data will not be uploaded to our servers.

Depending on feature availability, you may be able to:

• edit your profile
• upload, replace, or remove profile and cover photos
• control which optional profile fields are shown
• share or stop sharing solves
• follow or unfollow users
• block users
• report users
• delete app data
• delete your account
• request support or privacy assistance

Delete Account

You may be able to delete your account directly within the Service.

When you delete your account, we aim to delete your account and associated data from active systems, including profile information, solves, sessions, personal bests, linked profile details, and related app data, except to the limited extent retention is reasonably necessary for:

• legal compliance
• safety
• fraud or abuse prevention
• dispute resolution
• enforcement of our terms or policies

Replaced or no-longer-used profile images should also be removed from active storage when no longer needed.

Delete Data

You may also be able to delete app data without deleting your account.

Delete Data may remove:

• solves
• sessions
• preferences
• personal bests
• mains
• bio
• location and profile fields
• WCA ID
• linked social URLs
• profile photo
• cover photo
• social relationships
• block records
• reports submitted by the user, subject to limited retention where reasonably necessary for safety, abuse prevention, dispute handling, or legal compliance
• local cached and offline SQLite data on the device, where supported by the deletion flow

If personal bests are derived from deleted solve history, they may disappear or reset accordingly.

We use measures intended to protect personal information and Service data, including:

• authentication controls
• backend security rules
• app integrity protections
• controlled access to infrastructure
• technical monitoring and diagnostics

No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Cubing4Everyone is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without any consent required by applicable law. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child in a manner that requires parental consent and that consent was not properly obtained, we may delete that information.

Cubing4Everyone is intended for an international audience. Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, depending on the infrastructure and service providers used to operate the Service.

Cubing4Everyone may offer a subscription or paid option to remove ads.

If paid features are introduced or expanded, additional billing, subscription, and cancellation terms may apply and may be described separately in the Service or in related terms.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we may provide notice through the Service or through other appropriate means. The "Last Updated" date will reflect the latest revision.
