Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains, in plain English, how Spider Daily Solitaire by Haylau Apps handles data.

Spider Daily Solitaire stores gameplay progress and app settings locally on your device so you can continue your game and keep your preferences between sessions.

Optional online features, such as leaderboard participation or nickname submission, may send limited gameplay-related data to Firebase. This data is used only to operate app features such as leaderboards, daily or community stats, and app support.

Spider can still be used without signing in. No account is required for normal solo play.

We do not use your data for marketing purposes, and we only collect the minimum information needed to support the features you choose to use.

Optional Cloud Backup & Sync

Version 2 offers optional Cloud Backup & Sync. If you sign in with Google or Apple, Firebase Authentication manages your Spider account. Account information needed for authentication may include your provider account identifier and basic profile information supplied by Google or Apple.

Firebase/Firestore stores private Spider game progress linked to your account so it can be backed up and synced across devices. Cloud data may include progression, completed hands and challenges, streaks, stats, Safety Webs, strands, Shields, achievements and mastery, and similar durable game progress. Unfinished active hands and tableaux remain stored locally and are not cloud-synced.

This account and cloud progress information is used only for app functionality and Cloud Backup & Sync. It is not sold or used for advertising or tracking. Firebase/Google acts as the service provider for authentication and cloud storage.

Deletion requests

You can delete your cloud account and private cloud backup in Spider -> More -> Cloud Backup & Sync -> Delete account & cloud backup. See Delete account & cloud backup for details.

Deleting your cloud account does not automatically delete progress already stored locally on your device.

Locally stored progress and settings can normally be removed by uninstalling the app or clearing the app's local data on your device.

If you want help with a support or deletion request related to optional online features, email haylauapps@icloud.com.

This policy may be updated over time. Any updates will be posted on this page.
