Sedition Privacy Policy

Now, on to the stuff:

There is an ominous sounding question that pops up when your first run Sedition:

Figure 1 - Google Analytics

Digital Popcorn takes privacy and data integrity very seriously. I value your trust and to that end I would like to be transparent about what types of communication my applications do across the internet.

In short, there are 4 ways in which Sedition will communicate data over the internet.

1. Advertising. 

(Admob ads in ad-supported version of Sedition only). 

2. Google Analytics

This is a system that lets Sedition report anonymous metrics about how it is used. This includes the following type of information: 

What version/flavor(eg ad free vs ad supported) or Sedition is being played.

Which screen users are visiting

Which levels users are playing.

What final and high scores are.

Advertising performance feedback (ad supported only) included ad fulfillment rates, and whether or not ad-blocking was detected. Again this is anonymous! 

There are also some information inherent in Google Analytics, such as Geographic and Network Topology breakdowns.

This is a better overview Google Analytics.

You can enable or disable Analytics reporting at any time in Sedition in the options menu, the affect is immediate.

3. High Scores

Sedition polls an online leaderboard. When retrieving high scores, no information is transmitted other than the Sedition version and device model /firmware version. When posting high scores, no personal information sent to or stored on the server other than the "Name" field that users can enter, and a randomly generated 'unique user id':

The "randomly generated user id" is used to tie subsequent high score postings by the same user together. It may be cleared by deleting Sedition's data in the Android application management tool. Once cleared it will be regenerated to a new random value the next time a high score is posted. As that point, you are a new distinct user as far as the server is concerned.

Explicit vs Automatic Online Access  

Of the three, only the Advertising and High Score components access the Internet with out explicit user permission and/or actions.
