Sand Parade privacy policy

Developer: FUTURISTIC SRL

Last updated: October 6, 2026

Campaign play and local saves

You can play the campaign without creating an account. Levels, stars, local scores, settings, collectibles, coins, lives, and booster supplies are saved on your device. Campaign saves and purchased supplies are not transferred by the optional Daily profile. Your operating system may back up or move local records according to your device settings.

Optional online Daily competition

If you choose ranked Daily play or open Friends, Sand Parade creates a guest player identity through Unity Authentication. Unity services use a player ID to provide the same Daily board to players on iPhone and Android, validate submitted move and Undo traces, calculate scores, keep attempt receipts and Daily results, and show Today and This Week rankings. The public ranking shows a generated name, preset avatar, score, and rank. We do not ask for your real name, email address, contacts, or Facebook account to compete.

The competition uses Unity Cloud Code, Protected Cloud Save, Leaderboards, and Remote Config. Unity may process service and device information, such as an IP address, device identifiers, diagnostics, and request records, to operate and secure these services. See Unity’s game player privacy policy. The campaign remains available if you decline online competition or the service is unavailable. Rankings reset for each UTC day and week; some competitive records remain tied to your Daily profile until you delete it.

You can optionally link your Daily profile to Apple Game Center or Google Play Games to recover that competitive identity. The platform and Unity process the account link under their privacy terms. Linking does not create cloud saves for campaign progress or transfer purchases between devices. If an account is already linked to another Daily profile, the game asks you which profile to keep.

Optional Apple profile saving

On iPhone, you can choose Sign in with Apple to save and recover your online profile. Sand Parade requests neither your name nor your email address. Apple issues a temporary identity credential and authorization code. Unity Authentication verifies the credential and links the Apple account identifier to your online player identity. Linking does not transfer campaign progress or purchased supplies.

Our server exchanges the authorization code directly with Apple. A private Unity Cloud Save record stores the refresh token needed to revoke this authorization during online-profile deletion, and a hash of the Apple account identifier used to prevent mismatched recovery. These values are not public, and are not stored in campaign saves or analytics events. Deleting the linked online profile revokes its Apple authorization before removing the other online records. If Apple's service is unavailable, deletion remains incomplete and can be retried; we do not report success while retaining that token. See Apple's privacy policy.

Optional Friends and free campaign gifts

Friends uses the same optional Unity player identity as Daily competition. The service stores a generated display name, a friend code, mutual friend requests, accepted friendships, blocks, life requests, and limited free gifts. Someone with your friend code can request a friendship. You must accept before gifts can be exchanged. Sand Parade does not import your phone contacts, post messages automatically, or require Facebook. You choose where to send an invitation through the system share sheet.

Friend codes and generated names are visible to someone reviewing a request. Accepted friends can see your requests for campaign help. Gifts are free campaign assistance; they do not transfer purchased inventory and cannot improve ranked Daily attempts. You can remove or block a friend in Friends. Blocking prevents further gifts and requests until you unblock them. These actions remove pending, unclaimed gifts for that friendship; gifts already saved to campaign inventory remain.

Unclaimed gifts expire after seven days. A claimed gift produces a receipt tied to your online player identity and a random installation identifier saved on your device. This allows interrupted delivery to resume without granting the gift twice. Unacknowledged receipts remain until syncing finishes; acknowledged receipt identifiers are eligible for cleanup after 90 days. Campaign rewards and a local receipt ledger are separate from the online profile and stay on your device.

Challenge and friend links

After a verified Daily result, you may open your device’s share sheet. The suggested message includes your verified score, a challenge code, and a link on futuristic.ro. You choose whether and where to share it. Opening the share sheet does not tell us that you sent the message. A recipient who opens the link may see the shared score and generated Daily name or avatar. Our website host may receive normal web request data, including an IP address and browser information. Expired challenges open practice without a live ranking. A friend invitation instead contains a friend code and a link that lets a recipient review the code and send a request; opening it does not add a friend automatically.

Optional usage analytics

You can turn usage analytics on or off in Settings → Privacy. When enabled, Unity Analytics receives limited events such as tutorial completion, level starts and outcomes, Daily entries and submissions, ranking views, share-sheet opens, friend actions and gift collections, and purchase or ad outcomes. Event fields describe the level, board revision, mode, pours, stars, assistance, and result. We do not place your name, player ID, move trace, or contacts in these custom events. Unity may also process technical identifiers needed to provide analytics. Analytics is separate from ad privacy choices. See Unity’s privacy policy linked above.

Optional advertising

You can choose to watch a Google AdMob rewarded ad for a life, Remix Jar, or Extra Jar in campaign play. Ads need an internet connection and may not always be available. The game requests consent information and shows Google’s required privacy choices before requesting ads. In Settings → Privacy, use Manage ad privacy where available. Google may process your IP address, approximate location derived from it, device or advertising identifiers, ad interactions, and diagnostics according to your region and choices. Read Google’s advertising privacy information and Google’s privacy policy. Paid and rewarded assistance does not affect ranked Daily attempts.

Optional purchases

Pocket and Festival booster packs are optional consumable purchases through Apple’s App Store or Google Play. The store handles payment and may process account, billing, transaction, and device information. Sand Parade does not receive your payment card details. The game checks the store’s verified purchase record, saves a hashed transaction identifier with local inventory to prevent duplicate delivery, and does not send that purchase record to the Daily service. Store order and sales records may be available to FUTURISTIC SRL for accounting and support. Spent supplies are not restored or transferred through the Daily profile. Read Apple’s privacy policy or Google’s privacy policy for store practices.

Your choices and deletion

To delete your online identity, Friends data, and competitive records in the app, open Home → Settings → Online profile → Delete online profile (also available through Friends → Save or manage your profile), then confirm. The deletion service removes Daily scores, shared challenge links, friend-code directory entries, friendships, pending gifts and online gift receipts, then the game deletes the Unity Authentication account. A minimal deletion marker containing a one-way hash of the old player ID is retained indefinitely to prevent delayed requests from recreating the deleted online profile or its competitive data. It contains no friend code, name, relationships, gift inventory, or receipt history. Campaign saves and purchases remain on that device. If deletion fails or you no longer have access to the device, contact contact@futuristic.ro for help. You can also ask about access, correction, or deletion of data associated with your Daily profile. We may need enough information to locate the correct profile without exposing another player’s data.

To stop future usage analytics, turn it off in Settings → Privacy. Contact us if you want to request deletion of data previously sent through analytics. Local game records remain until you clear the app’s storage or uninstall it; device backups may restore them. Your device and backup provider control those backups. Advertising and store providers handle requests about data they independently process under their own policies.

Changes and contact

We will update this policy when Sand Parade’s data practices change. For privacy questions, contact contact@futuristic.ro.
