This policy explains what Echo Protocol: Dark Sonar ("the game") collects, why, and who it is shared with. The game is published by Edward Paolo Guevarra, trading as BoardPass PH, based in Cavite, Philippines ("we", "us").
The short version: we never ask for your name, email address, or phone number. We do not know who you are. The game shows ads and has an online leaderboard, and those two features are the only reasons any data leaves your device.
| Data | Why | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Advertising ID (a resettable ID your device provides) |
To show ads and to measure and prevent ad fraud. | Google (AdMob) |
| Anonymous player ID (a random ID created for you) |
To recognise your device as the owner of your callsign and your scores. It is not linked to any Google account, email, or name. | Google (Firebase Authentication); stored alongside your scores |
| Callsign (the short name you choose) |
To show who holds a place on the leaderboard. | Our leaderboard server. Publicly visible. |
| Game results (nodes reached, run time, deck reached) |
To rank runs on the leaderboard. | Our leaderboard server. Publicly visible. |
| Device and ad-request data (device type, operating system, coarse region derived from IP address) |
Collected by Google's ad system to select and measure ads. We never see or store this. | Google (AdMob) |
These never leave your phone and are not sent to us or anyone else:
Uninstalling the game deletes all of it.
The leaderboard is the point of the game. When you claim a callsign and finish a run, that callsign and that score may be shown publicly to other players. Choose a callsign you are happy for strangers to see, and do not use your real name.
A callsign is unique and permanent. Once claimed it cannot be changed or transferred, because the leaderboard would be meaningless if names could be swapped or reused.
| Service | What they receive | Their policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob | Advertising ID, device and ad-request data | policies.google.com |
| Google Firebase Authentication | Anonymous player ID | firebase.google.com/support/privacy |
| Cloudflare (Workers) | Serves our leaderboard requests | cloudflare.com/privacypolicy |
| Neon (database) | Stores callsigns and scores | neon.tech/privacy-policy |
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with anyone other than the services above.
The game shows a full-screen ad after some runs end. Ads are served by Google AdMob, which may use your Advertising ID to personalise them.
You can turn personalised ads off at any time, on the device itself:
Doing this does not remove ads. It makes them less relevant.
Echo Protocol: Dark Sonar is a horror game. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). If you believe a child has provided data to us, contact us and we will delete it.
You can ask us what we hold about your callsign, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Because we hold no name or email, we identify your record by callsign.
To delete your data: email us at privacy@agentnoah.dev with the subject "Delete my data" and your callsign. We will remove your callsign and all associated scores from the leaderboard within 30 days. Deleting the game from your phone removes the on-device data immediately, but does not remove your leaderboard entry — you must ask.
Depending on where you live, you may also have rights under laws such as the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173). To exercise any of them, use the same address above.
If this policy changes materially, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top and, where the change is significant, note it in the game's store listing. Continuing to play after a change means you accept the updated policy.
