1. Introduction
Snicko, an offering of WeRun Consulting, is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use the Snicko mobile application ("App") on iOS and Android, in compliance with applicable privacy laws including the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
By using the App, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Collect
- Account Information: When you create an account using an email address, Apple Sign-In, or Google Sign-In, we collect your email address and username. When using Apple Sign-In, your data is also subject to Apple's Privacy Policy (apple.com/legal/privacy). When using Google Sign-In, your data is subject to Google's Privacy Policy (policies.google.com/privacy).
- Game Data: We collect gameplay statistics including puzzle results, guess history, scores, win/loss records, streaks, and format-specific performance data. This data is used to power the leaderboards, personal stats, and Archive mode.
- Subscription Information: Subscription payments for Snicko Edge are processed by Apple or Google via in-app purchases and managed through RevenueCat. WeRun Consulting does not collect or store your payment card details.
- Device Information: We may collect basic device information (platform, OS version) for debugging and compatibility purposes only. We do not collect location data, contacts, or other sensitive device data.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Authenticate your account and enable personalised features such as streaks, stats, and leaderboard rankings.

- Process and verify Snicko Edge purchase status.
- Communicate with you about updates, support, or important account information.
- Improve the App based on aggregated, anonymised usage patterns.

We do not use your data for advertising or sell it to third parties for marketing purposes.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
WeRun Consulting does not sell your personal information. We may share data in the following limited circumstances:
- Service Providers: We use Firebase (Google) for account authentication and cloud data storage (Firestore), and RevenueCat for subscription management. These providers process data on our behalf under their own privacy policies and strict confidentiality agreements.
- Leaderboards: Your username and game scores are visible to other users on the public leaderboard. You may choose a username that does not identify you personally.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose data to comply with applicable laws, court orders, or regulatory requests.
- Business Transfers: If WeRun Consulting is acquired or merged, your data may be transferred to the new entity with continued privacy protections.
5. Data Security
WeRun Consulting implements industry-standard security measures, including encrypted connections (TLS) and Firebase's built-in security rules, to protect your account and game data. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for securing your device.
6. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:
- Access: Request a copy of your personal information.
- Correction: Request updates to inaccurate data.
- Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data.
- Objection: Object to certain data processing.
- Portability: Request your data in a portable format.
To exercise these rights, contact us at Snicko@werunconsulting.com. We will respond within 30 days, or as required by applicable law. Note that deleting your account will remove your stats and leaderboard entries permanently.
7. Data Retention
We retain your account information and game data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the App's services. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 60 days, except where retention is required for legal or audit purposes.
Anonymised and aggregated game statistics may be retained indefinitely for product improvement purposes.
8. International Data Transfers
Snicko is operated from Australia. Your data may be stored or processed in Australia, the United States (via Firebase and RevenueCat infrastructure), or other countries where our service providers operate. We ensure appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, are in place for international transfers to comply with GDPR and applicable privacy laws.

If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it promptly. Contact us at Snicko@werunconsulting.com if you believe we have inadvertently collected such data.
