Play Console — Data Safety (Magnesia: Co-Op Survival)

Fill the Data safety form with these answers while Magnesia ships free with local diamonds only (see MONETIZATION.md).

General Questions

Does your app collect or share any of the required user data types?
- Yes — through the Google Play Games Services SDK (sign-in + Saved Games cloud save, added 2026-10). No ads, billing, or analytics SDKs of our own.

Note: Draft answers below follow Google’s guide for this SDK (Prepare for Google Play’s data disclosure requirements). Confirm them in Play Console before submitting, since Google states the developer alone is responsible for the form.

Data Type	Collected	Shared	Purpose	Why / Description
Personal info → User IDs	Yes	No	App functionality	Play Games player identity used for sign-in.
App activity → Other actions	Yes	No	App functionality	The progress profile saved to Saved Games (cloud save).
App info and performance → Diagnostics	Yes	No	Analytics	Collected automatically by the Play Games SDK for stability.

Mandatory Collection: Collection is required on Android for cloud save to work; the game still runs without Play Games, with local saves only.
Settings: User settings (language, music, visuals) are not uploaded.

Future Data Types (When Ads/IAP are Added)

Update this form and PRIVACY.md before shipping a build that includes monetization:

Type	Collection	Sharing	Purpose
Device / advertising IDs	Yes	Yes	Advertising, fraud prevention (AdMob / UMP & ad partners)
Purchase history	Yes	No	App functionality (Play Billing)
App interactions (ad views)	Yes	Yes	Advertising

Until then, leave those rows unset or marked as “Not collected”.

Security Practices

Data is encrypted in transit: Yes (Play Games Services uses HTTPS).
Users can request deletion: Yes — local saves by uninstalling; cloud save and Play Games data from the Play Games profile or Google Account.
Committed to follow Play Families Policy if targeting children: Follow store guidance; no personalized ads in a child-directed listing.
