Privacy Policy for Mixoloco

Last updated: 27 October 2026

BrinkLabs ("we," "us," or "our") developed Mixoloco (the "App"), a cocktail-mixing puzzle game for Android. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it's used, and the choices you have.

By using Mixoloco, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Automatically, to run the game

An anonymous account ID. The first time you open the App, we automatically create an anonymous account (via Firebase Authentication) so your progress, credits, and weekly league standing can be saved. This happens silently — no personal information is required or collected at this stage.
A device identifier (Android ID). We read your device's Android ID to detect duplicate accounts created by reinstalling the app, which protects the fairness of the weekly leaderboard. This is a device-level identifier, not tied to your name or contact details.
Gameplay data. Your score, level, evolution/tier progress, in-game credits, and chosen leaderboard nickname are stored so your progress and ranking can be restored and compared against other players.

Only if you choose to sign in with Google

Mixoloco's "Google Backup" feature is entirely optional. If you turn it on, we link your anonymous account to your Google account, which gives us access to your email address, so your progress can be restored if you reinstall the app or switch devices. You can play the entire game, including the weekly league, without ever using this feature.

If you make a purchase

Mixoloco offers in-app purchases (credits, ad removal, level unlocks) processed entirely through Google Play Billing. We never see or store your payment card details — Google handles all payment information directly, and we only receive confirmation of which product you purchased.

Advertising

Mixoloco shows ads (banner, occasional full-screen, and rewarded-video ads you choose to watch for bonus credits) through the Unity LevelPlay mediation platform, which may serve ads via Unity Ads, Vungle (Liftoff Monetize), and Meta Audience Network. These advertising partners may automatically collect device identifiers (such as your advertising ID), general device information, and approximate location to serve and measure ads, and may use this information in line with their own privacy policies:

Unity Ads: unity.com/legal/privacy-policy
Liftoff (Vungle): liftoff.io/privacy-policy
Meta Audience Network: facebook.com/privacy/policy

The first time you open the App, we ask whether you're comfortable with ads being used to give you a more relevant experience. Your choice is saved on your device and applied to how our advertising partners personalize ads for you; it does not disable ads outright, and you can still choose to watch a rewarded ad at any time for bonus credits.

App usage, performance and crash data

To understand how the game is played and to find and fix problems, the App uses Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics. These collect:

Gameplay events, such as levels reached, cocktails made, power-ups used, games completed or ended, and in-app purchases made.
Ad revenue events — which ad network showed an ad, the ad format, and the revenue it earned — so we can measure how advertising performs.
Crash reports and diagnostics — technical details about errors and crashes (such as the error, the app version, and the device model and Android version) along with your anonymous account ID, so we can reproduce and fix them.
Device identifiers (an app instance ID and, where permitted, your advertising ID) and general device information.

This data is not used to identify you personally. Analytics always runs, but whether it may be used for advertising and ad personalization follows the ad choice you make when you first open the App.

What stays on your device only

Your sound/music settings, ad-consent choice, local high-score cache, and saved game state are stored locally on your device and are never transmitted to us unless you enable Google Backup.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information above to:

Save and restore your game progress, credits, and settings
Operate the weekly league/leaderboard and keep it fair (duplicate-account detection)
Process in-app purchases through Google Play
Show and personalize advertising, in line with your consent choice
Understand how the game is played and measure advertising performance (analytics)
Detect, diagnose and fix crashes and bugs
Maintain and improve the App

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for any purpose beyond operating and improving Mixoloco.

3. Third-Party Services

Mixoloco uses the following third-party services, each of which may collect information used to identify you, governed by their own privacy policies:

Service	Purpose
Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore)	Account creation, cloud save/sync of progress and league data
Google Firebase Analytics	Gameplay and ad-revenue analytics
Firebase Crashlytics	Crash and error reporting
Google Sign-In	Optional account linking for backup/restore
Google Play Billing	Processing in-app purchases
Unity LevelPlay (mediating Unity Ads, Vungle/Liftoff, Meta Audience Network)	Displaying advertising

4. Children's Privacy

Mixoloco is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the details below and we will delete it.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your account and gameplay data for as long as your account is active, so your progress remains available. Analytics data is kept for up to 14 months, and crash reports for up to 90 days, after which they are automatically deleted. If you'd like your account and associated data deleted, email us at thebrinklabs1@gmail.com with the subject line "Delete My Mixoloco Account", and we will delete your data within 30 days.

6. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including relying on Google Firebase's security infrastructure for stored data. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
