Spartha Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 9, 2026 · Updated 2026-09-02 · App: Spartha (com.spartha.game)

Spartha is a creature-bonding adventure game. This policy explains what information the game collects, why, and what happens to it. We keep it short because we collect very little.

The short version: Spartha has no ads, no third-party analytics, no tracking, and never sells data. We store your username, your game save, and — only while the optional Real World map is open — your location, so nearby players can find and challenge each other.

What we collect

Account info. A username you choose and a password. The username is stored as an internal account identifier (username@spartha.game). No real email address is required or collected. You may optionally set a display name.
Game saves. Your progress (Sparks, items, quests, realm) is saved on your device and synced to our cloud (Google Firebase) so it follows you across devices.
Location (optional feature only). If you open the Real World map and grant location permission, your device location is used to place wild Sparks, parks, and Bit Mines around you. While the map is open, your approximate location, username, and party level are shared with other nearby players so trainers can find and challenge each other. Before it is shared, your position is snapped to a roughly 120-metre grid whose alignment shifts daily, so other players never see your exact spot or your fine movements. Your position row is removed when you close the map, and expires within minutes if the app is killed before it can be removed. Location is never collected in the background and never used for advertising.
Camera (optional feature only). AR mode uses your camera to show Sparks in the world around you. The camera feed is processed entirely on your device — no photos or video are recorded, stored, or uploaded.
Multiplayer data. Battle invitations, match results, realm raids, and captured-mine ownership are stored in our cloud so other players can interact with you.

What we do NOT collect

No advertising identifiers, no ad networks, no cross-app tracking.
No third-party analytics.
No contacts, photos, microphone audio, or health data.
No purchases of personal data, no selling or renting of any data. Ever.

Where data lives

Cloud data is stored with Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore), operated by Google LLC under their privacy and security terms. We use it only to run the game.

Children

Spartha is designed to be family-friendly. Accounts use a made-up username — never a real name or email. We do not knowingly collect personal information beyond what is described above. Parents: the Real World map shares your child's location with other players only while that screen is open; if you prefer, simply don't grant location permission — the entire core game works without it. To have a child's account and data erased, delete the account in-game or contact us (see Support below).

Your controls

Delete your account any time in Settings → Delete Account. This permanently erases your login, cloud saves, and multiplayer data.
Location and camera permissions can be revoked any time in iOS Settings; the game keeps working without them.
Account recovery: because accounts have no real email, we cannot send password-reset emails. Contact support from the page below and we will verify and help.

Changes

If this policy changes, the effective date above will be updated. Material changes will be announced in-game.
