This Privacy Policy describes how F1 Reaction ("we", "our" or "the application") collects, uses and protects information when you use our mobile application.

By using F1 Reaction, you accept the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the application.

2. Information We Collect

2.1. Account Information (Optional — Google Sign-In)

Google Sign-In is optional. You can play the game without signing in. If you choose to sign in to publish your score to the leaderboard, we collect:

• Google profile information: Name, email, profile picture and unique user ID
• Authentication token: To keep your session active securely

This information is obtained through Google Sign-In and stored in Firebase Authentication.

2.2. User Profile (Signed-in users only)

• Username: The username you choose within the app

2.3. Game and Leaderboard Data

• Reaction times: Your reaction time results (in milliseconds) per race and per season
• Attempt counters: Number of game attempts used (stored locally on your device)
• Leaderboard entries: Your best time published to the Firestore leaderboard (signed-in users only)

Attempt counters are stored locally in SharedPreferences on your device and are not sent to any server.

2.4. Automatic Technical Information

Through Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics, we automatically collect:

• Crash and error data: Information about crashes and errors occurring in the application

4. Advertising (Google AdMob)

F1 Reaction shows ads through Google AdMob:

AdMob may collect device identifiers and usage data to serve personalized or non-personalized ads. This is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
