This policy explains how Hitbones handles information in Sticky Panic (com.stickypanic.game), a solo arcade game for players aged 13 and over.
Developer and contact: Hitbones, aqar@omaralgarni.com. Updated 8 October 2026.
Information needed for gameplay
- On your device: coins, unlocked appearances, selected appearance, personal records, recent results, sound and motion preferences, language and your privacy choice. The game records an age band, not your date of birth.
- Online rankings: Unity Gaming Services creates an anonymous player identifier. Our Unity Cloud Code service validates the run using a run identifier, seed, tap timing, duration and score. Scores and a generated player label appear on public leaderboards. You do not need to provide a name, email address or password to play.
- Connections: online services receive technical request information, including IP addresses, needed to deliver and secure their services. Game service connections use HTTPS. A connection is required for online rankings; local play remains available when a connection cannot be made.
Optional analytics and diagnostics
If you are 18 or over and opt in, Google Analytics for Firebase receives an app-instance identifier, approximate location derived from a masked IP address, device/app information and gameplay events such as starting and ending a run, completing the tutorial, reaching score milestones, using a rescue, selecting an appearance and viewing a leaderboard. Firebase Crashlytics can receive crash traces, device and app information and diagnostic identifiers. We use these to understand play and repair faults. The current Analytics account also permits Google to use Analytics data to improve its products and services; this does not enable Google's own ad targeting or ad personalization. Selecting Essential only disables further optional collection. Previously received records are subject to provider retention and deletion controls.
Advertising and campaign measurement
Unity LevelPlay and Unity Ads integrations are prepared for optional rewarded ads and paced full-screen ads. TikTok App Events integration is prepared for campaign measurement. They are disabled in the current test release. When activated in a later release, the game and this policy will describe the available choices before optional measurement is enabled. We do not use Google Analytics ad-personalization consent. No paid purchase or payment-card collection is included in this release.
Providers and sharing
Unity provides authentication, score validation, cloud storage and leaderboards. Google/Firebase provides optional analytics and diagnostics. Railway hosts this website. We share the information needed for these functions with the respective providers; leaderboard scores and generated labels are visible to other players. Providers may process information outside your country. The app does not request contacts, precise location, microphone, camera or photo-library access.
Retention and deletion requests
Local progress stays on your device until you clear the app data or uninstall, subject to your device's backup behavior. The server retains the current run-validation record and your leaderboard scores until replaced, reset or deleted. Daily rankings reset at 00:00 UTC; all-time rankings remain until updated or removed. Clearing local data does not automatically remove a server score.
To request deletion of your Sticky Panic player identifier, run records and leaderboard scores, email Hitbones support. Include Sticky Panic and your player support ID from Settings if available. You may also request access, correction or deletion of identifiable analytics and diagnostic records. We may ask for limited information to verify the record belongs to you. Do not send passwords. Provider records and backups follow their respective deletion processes; already anonymized aggregate statistics cannot be linked back to an individual for deletion.
Young players
Sticky Panic is intended for ages 13 and over. An under-13 selection blocks play and online ranking access. We do not enable optional analytics, crash reporting or advertising measurement for a 13–17 selection. Contact us if you believe an under-13 player's personal information was submitted.
