Pocket Arcade

Pocket Arcade Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 11, 2026 · Developer: Avox Labs

Short version: Your game progress stays on your phone and we (Avox Labs) never receive it. Pocket Arcade shows ads from Google AdMob, and Google collects some device data to serve and measure those ads. If you sign in to Google Play Games, your achievements and leaderboard scores are stored with your Play Games profile.

What the app stores

To remember your progress, Pocket Arcade saves the following on your device only, in the app's private storage:

This progress never leaves your device. We (Avox Labs) cannot see it, and it is not linked to your name, email, or any account.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

Pocket Arcade is free and shows ads served by Google AdMob. To show, limit, measure and protect those ads from fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK in the app collects and sends to Google:

Google handles this data under its own policy: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, the app asks for your consent before personalised ads are shown, and you can change that choice later with Privacy options at the bottom of the app's home screen.

You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads (or Google → Ads on some devices).

Google Play Games (optional)

Pocket Arcade works with Google Play Games Services for achievements and leaderboards. If you sign in with your Play Games profile (Android may do this automatically when you have Play Games set up), the app sends Google:

Google links this to your Play Games profile (gamer name and avatar) and may show it to other players according to your Play Games privacy settings. The app reads your gamer name and avatar from Play Games only to show them in Google's own screens; we (Avox Labs) do not store them. Google also collects diagnostics to keep the service working. This data is sent over an encrypted connection and handled under the Google Privacy Policy. You can change who sees your activity, or delete your Play Games data, from your Play Games profile. If you don't sign in, nothing is sent to Play Games.

What the app does not do

Deleting your data

Uninstalling Pocket Arcade, or clearing its storage (Android Settings → Apps → Pocket Arcade → Storage → Clear storage), permanently deletes everything the app saved on your device. Ad data held by Google is managed through your advertising ID settings, and Play Games data through your Play Games profile, both described above. Android's own device backup may keep a copy of app data under your Google account according to your device's backup settings; that backup is controlled by Google and you, not by us.

Children

Pocket Arcade is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If a future version sends more data off your device (for example online leaderboards), we will update this page and the app's Google Play data safety section before that version is released, and change the effective date above.
