Reaktor collects nothing of its own. Your games stay on your device; the Android app's ads come from Google AdMob. Effective October 2, 2026.
Reaktor is a local multiplayer strategy game for Android, developed by Shravan Goswami, Jitendra Verma and Ayaan Shaikh, and published on Google Play by Shravan Goswami. This policy covers the Reaktor app on Google Play, the web version, and this website.
Nothing of its own. Reaktor has no accounts, no analytics and no crash reporting of its own, and the game sends nothing to us. The only data that leaves the Android app is what Google's ads and Google Play collect, described below. We do not receive that data ourselves: AdMob shows us only totals, such as how many ads were shown.
Game sessions, board settings, sound and haptic preferences, and the local leaderboard (including any player names you type during setup) are saved only in the app's private storage on your device. They never leave it. You can erase everything at any time from Settings (Clear All Game History, Clear Leaderboard) or by uninstalling the app.
The Android app shows ads through Google AdMob, using the Google Mobile Ads SDK. They are kept away from play: a small banner at the bottom of the game list, leaderboard, rules, settings and about screens, and now and then a full-screen ad as you leave a finished match, never after your first match and never during one. Ads are limited to content rated PG, suitable for most audiences with parental guidance.
To show ads, measure how they perform and prevent fraud, the SDK collects your device's advertising ID and other device identifiers, your approximate location worked out from your IP address, how you interact with ads, and diagnostics such as how the app and the ads perform, and sends it to Google. Google uses this data underhow Google uses information from sites or apps that use its servicesandGoogle's privacy policy. Without a connection no ads are requested and nothing is sent, and the game plays as usual.
When the app starts, it checks with Google's consent tool, the User Messaging Platform, before it asks for any ads. Where the law requires a choice, such as in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, and in some US states, it shows Google's consent form first, and Privacy Choices in Settings opens it again so you can change your answer. Ads that are not personalised still use some data, for example to limit how often you see the same ad, to measure it and to prevent fraud. You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or turn off personalised ads, in your phone's settings, under Privacy and then Ads, or Google and then Ads.
The Android app offers one optional purchase, the Supporter pack, which turns its ads off for good. Google Play Billing handles the purchase from start to finish: your payment details go to Google, under Google's privacy policy andGoogle Play's terms, and never reach us. The app learns only whether the pack was bought: it asks Google Play when it starts, and remembers the answer on your device.
When you play Reaktor in a browser, it shows no ads, sells nothing, and loads no ad or billing code. Your games and settings are saved in your browser's storage for this site and are never sent to us.
The Android app has network access, which the ads and the Supporter pack need: Google's ads SDK adds the internet, network state and advertising ID permissions, the permissions Android's own ad privacy features use, and the wake lock and foreground service permissions its background tasks need, and Google Play Billing adds its billing permission. It asks for no location, camera, microphone, contacts or files. Links in the app (such as developer pages or the Play Store listing) open in your browser or the Play app, where those services' own policies apply.
Reaktor is a strategy game anyone can enjoy, but it is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. The ads in the Android app are limited to content rated PG. If you believe a child under 13 has used the app and have a question about their data, email us.
The app is distributed through Google Play. Google may process platform-level data (such as install statistics or crash telemetry) as described inGoogle's privacy policy. That processing happens outside the app.
The site is a static site hosted on GitHub Pages; GitHub may log standard request data as described inGitHub's privacy statement. Search runs entirely in your browser via a static Pagefind index. Your theme choice is kept in your browser's local storage.
Blog comments and the support page's feedback box use Giscus, which stores comments as GitHub Discussions in a public repository. Commenting is optional and requires signing in with your GitHub account; anything you post is public and governed by GitHub's privacy statement and terms.
If a future version changes what the app does with data, this page will be updated before that version is released, and the effective date revised.
