SIGNAL SHIFT
PRIVACY

01Scope and release timing

This policy applies to the Signal Shift Android application published by ScriptNight, package com.scriptnight.signalshift. Website visits are covered separately by the ScriptNight website privacy policy.

You do not need to create a ScriptNight account to play. Google Play purchases use your Google Play account. The upcoming version provides the campaign through gameplay without a paid content gate and offers a one-time purchase to remove ads.

02Advertising and data handling

The upcoming free version uses Google AdMob to display ads between levels. Google and participating advertising partners process information to deliver and measure ads, personalize them where permitted, and detect fraud.

Depending on settings and available permissions, this can include your IP address and approximate location inferred from it; device or advertising identifiers; app and ad interactions; and diagnostic or performance information. Google documents encryption in transit for data collected by its Mobile Ads SDK.

Advertising services can use identifiers and local storage on your device. The partners and choices applicable to a consent request are presented in its privacy message. Non-personalized or limited ads do not necessarily mean that no data is processed.

Local game saves are separate from advertising information. The planned integration does not upload your saved boards or campaign history to ScriptNight. Ad-related measurement can still include app and ad interactions; it is not a promise of no analytics.

See Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses information for advertising.

03Information stored on your device

Signal Shift stores campaign progress, scores, star ratings, completed levels, the active board, remaining moves or time, modules, sound preferences, and gameplay history in private app storage. The app also keeps a local purchase-status cache; the ad-supported version will store advertising privacy choices and information needed to manage ad frequency.

Other apps normally cannot access private app storage through standard Android app isolation. If Android backup is enabled, eligible information may be included in a backup associated with your device or Google account, subject to Android and your backup settings.

04Google Play purchases and ad removal

Google Play handles checkout, payment, purchase restoration, and related store activity under Google’s terms and privacy practices. Signal Shift receives purchase information needed to recognize and acknowledge the upgrade, such as the purchased product, purchase token, and purchase status. It stores an entitlement flag locally for offline use. It does not receive your payment-card number or Google account password.

In the upcoming ad-supported version, the permanent Signal Pro purchase removes ads. Existing Signal Pro owners retain that benefit. Removing ads does not remove Google Play’s purchase processing or erase information previously processed by advertising services.

Google Play and AdMob may provide ScriptNight with store, sales, technical, and advertising reports. Their processing and retention are explained in Google’s privacy information.

05Services, permissions, and privacy choices

The ad-supported version will use Internet access for Google Mobile Ads, Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent service, and Google Play Billing. Advertising identifiers may be used where available and permitted. The advertising integration does not require access to your contacts, camera, microphone, photos, or precise GPS location. Approximate location may still be inferred from an IP address.

Google’s consent service will present privacy messages where required and record your choices. Available options can include consenting, declining consent, and managing individual purposes or partners. In the ad-supported version, a privacy-options entry in Settings will let you reopen the message where supported or required and change your choices, including withdrawing consent.

Declining or withdrawing consent does not purchase the ad-free upgrade. Depending on your choices, region, and the applicable service rules, the app may show non-personalized or limited ads, or no ads. Changing consent does not undo processing that already occurred.

You can also manage or delete your advertising ID using Android’s privacy or advertising settings. Available controls vary by Android version. Following an external link opens a service covered by its own privacy policy.

06Retention, control, and deletion

Local game data remains until replaced through play or removed through Android’s Clear storage control or uninstalling the app. Restoring a backup may restore eligible data. Clearing local storage does not cancel a Google Play purchase; ownership may be restored through Google Play.

ScriptNight does not maintain a remote account containing your saved boards or campaign progress. Google and advertising partners retain information they process according to their own policies and applicable obligations. Uninstalling the game or buying ad removal does not automatically delete their existing records.

Use Google’s privacy information and account controls for data processed by Google. For other partners, consult the information in the privacy message. You may contact ScriptNight about access, correction, deletion, or other applicable privacy rights; available rights depend on your location and the information involved.

If you contact ScriptNight, the details you choose to send are used to respond and address your request. Do not send sensitive information unnecessarily.

07Children’s privacy

Signal Shift does not provide in-game chat, public profiles, or ScriptNight account creation. Those features being absent does not mean advertising services process no data.

The upcoming advertising release must apply the age-related restrictions and consent requirements relevant to its declared audience. Personalized advertising must not be served where prohibited for children or users below the applicable age of consent.

If you believe information about a child has been processed improperly in connection with Signal Shift, contact ScriptNight through the contact route below so the concern can be investigated. A parent or guardian can clear local game data through Android’s app settings; this does not automatically delete information held by Google or advertising partners.

08Policy changes and contact

This policy was updated on October 27, 2026 to describe the upcoming advertising release. The advertising sections apply from installation of that release, as explained above. ScriptNight will update this page if the implemented services or data practices change.

For privacy questions or requests, visit the Open Channel on ScriptNight.com, select OPEN CHANNEL, and identify Signal Shift in your message. Include the app version if known. Do not include passwords, payment-card details, government identification numbers, or other sensitive information.
