📈 StockPlay Party — Privacy Notice

Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 9, 2026

Quick Summary: StockPlay Party (Package ID: com.vibecode.stockplay) is a multiplayer simulated stock trading party game designed for entertainment and social competition. All currency, portfolios, loans, and chips are strictly virtual and hold no real-world monetary value. We do not sell your personal data, and real-time audio/video communications are ephemeral and never recorded or stored on our servers.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how VIBECODE ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our mobile application StockPlay Party (the "App") and associated web services at https://stockplay.party.

By downloading, installing, or playing StockPlay Party, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Virtual Currency & Financial Simulation Disclaimer

No Real Money Transactions or Brokerage Services: StockPlay Party is purely a gaming and social simulation. The stocks, price movements, virtual cash balances, margins, loan products, and chips depicted within the App are virtual game mechanics.

Virtual chips and simulated trading balances have no real-world monetary value.
They cannot be converted, redeemed, or cashed out for real currency, prizes, goods, or physical assets of any kind.
StockPlay Party is NOT a financial institution, bank, broker-dealer, investment advisor, or real-money gambling service. In-app purchases of virtual chip packs (e.g. Executive Briefcase, High Roller Vault) are digital entertainment goods consumed within the application only.

3. Information We Collect

We only collect information necessary to provide, sync, and secure your gaming experience:

Account & Profile Information: When you sign in with Google or create an account, we collect your unique account identifier, display name, email address, and profile photo provided by Google Firebase Authentication. If you play as a Guest, a pseudonymous user ID is generated locally to keep your game save intact.
Gameplay & Score Data: Virtual chip counts, win/loss records, party room history, and leaderboard positions are stored in our secure Cloud Firestore database to enable multiplayer functionality and global ranking.
Audio & Video Data (Ephemeral Party Rooms): When participating in party rooms with live voice or video enabled, audio and video streams are transmitted directly peer-to-peer (via WebRTC or secure media relay). We never record, store, listen to, or archive your live audio or video streams on our servers.
In-App Purchase Receipts: When you make an in-app purchase, payment processing is handled exclusively by Google Play In-App Billing. We only receive a cryptographically signed transaction token from Google to verify and grant your virtual chips. We do NOT receive or store your credit card numbers or banking information.
Device & Diagnostic Data: Device model, operating system version, and anonymous crash diagnostics may be collected via Google Firebase Crashlytics to resolve crashes and improve performance.

4. How We Use Information

The information we collect is strictly used to:

Facilitate real-time multiplayer trading battles and leaderboard calculations.
Save your game progress, chips, and profile across devices.
Validate in-app purchase receipts with Google Play.
Monitor server health, prevent unauthorized cheating or exploitation, and ensure platform security.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties, data brokers, or advertising networks.

5. Third-Party Service Providers

We integrate trusted third-party service providers who assist in operating our infrastructure. These partners adhere to strict privacy and security standards:

Google Firebase / Google Cloud: Powers authentication, cloud database, and hosting. Google Privacy Policy.
Google Play In-App Billing: Handles secure payment processing for virtual chips.

6. Data Retention and Account Deletion

We retain your profile and game data as long as your account remains active. You have full right to request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time.

7. Children's Privacy

StockPlay Party is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can purge the information.

8. Security

We use industry-standard HTTPS/TLS encryption in transit and secure Google Cloud Firestore security rules to protect your data. While no transmission method over the internet is 100% impenetrable, we implement robust measures to protect your information.
