Privacy Policy

MTG Life Counter: Arcora | Effective Date: September 13, 2026

Welcome to Arcora (referred to as "we", "our", or "us"), provided by Pixelory Labs. Arcora is designed as a companion utility application for tabletop card gaming (Magic: The Gathering). We respect your privacy and are committed to transparency regarding any data processed when you download, install, and use our application.

1. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

Arcora prioritizes local processing. All gameplay configuration and active game statistics are saved strictly within your device's isolated local storage:

• Player counts, seating arrangements, and active layouts (1 to 6 players)
• Player names, selected theme colors, and starting life totals
• Commander damage, poison counters, and energy tracking numbers
• In-app settings and preferences (e.g., commander life link toggles, ad-removal status)

This data is never transmitted to our servers or any third-party backend. It resides solely on your physical device and will be permanently deleted if you uninstall the application or clear app data via your device settings.

2. Third-Party Services and Analytics

While we do not collect personal information ourselves, Arcora integrates industry-standard third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs) to facilitate advertising and secure in-app purchase validation. These third parties may automatically collect anonymous or pseudonymous technical telemetry:

• Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads): Used to display banner advertisements in the free tier of the application. AdMob and its advertising partners may collect device identifiers (such as the Android Advertising ID or iOS IDFA), coarse geographic data, IP addresses, and ad performance interaction metrics to prevent ad fraud, cap ad frequency, and serve contextual or personalized advertisements.
  For more details, please review Google Privacy & Terms and How AdMob Uses Information.
• Google Play In-App Billing: Used to process the optional one-time purchase to remove advertisements. All financial transactions and payment instrument details (such as credit card numbers or billing addresses) are handled securely and directly by Google Play. We never receive, process, or store your sensitive payment information.
  Google provides our app only with a pseudonymous transaction receipt or confirmation token to unlock the ad-free experience.

3. Advertising and User Privacy Choices

We respect your right to control how advertising networks interact with your device:

• Ad-Free Experience: You can permanently remove all banner advertisements from Arcora at any time by purchasing the one-time "Remove Ads" option directly inside the app. Once purchased, ad loading is completely disabled.
• Opting Out of Personalized Ads: On Android devices, you can opt out of interest-based ads or reset your Advertising ID at any time by navigating to: Settings → Google → Ads → Reset or Delete Advertising ID.
• EEA / UK User Consent (GDPR): For users residing within the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, consent preferences regarding personalized advertising are requested and handled in accordance with Google's Consent Management Platform (CMP).

4. No Account or Registration Required

Arcora does not require you to create an account, log in with social media, or supply personal details such as your name, email address, physical address, or phone number. You are free to play and utilize all features immediately without establishing a profile.

5. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Arcora is intended for a general tabletop gaming audience and does not knowingly solicit or collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Union). Since our application does not gather user accounts or personal profiles, no personal data from minors is held on our servers.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information to third-party ad services through the application, please contact us and we will promptly facilitate the appropriate remedial actions.

6. Security

We take reasonable and industry-standard precautions to ensure the integrity of our software. Communications initiated by integrated third-party SDKs (such as Google Play Billing and AdMob) are encrypted in transit using standard HTTPS/TLS protocols.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological advancements, operational updates, or statutory requirements. When updates occur, the revised version will be published on this page with an updated "Effective Date" at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
