Privacy Policy
Last updated: 15 October 2026
In short
- You sign in with Google Play Games (Android) or Sign in with Apple (iPhone), so your progress follows you between devices.
- Your progress is stored in Google's Firebase database, located in the European Union.
- Atoni shows no ads and does not track you: there is no advertising SDK and analytics collection is switched off.
- We never sell your data. A few companies process it only to run the game; they are listed below.
- You can delete your account at any time in the game, under Settings → DELETE ACCOUNT.
1. What we collect
Account information
When you sign in, Google Play Games or Apple gives the game:
- a unique account identifier, which we use as your player ID
- your email address and name, if the sign-in method provides them (Apple may give a private relay address instead of your real one)
- a link to your profile picture (Google Play Games only)
Your player name is the part of your email address before the "@"; if no email address is provided, it is your Play Games name. We never see, receive or store your password.
Game data
Saved under your player ID:
- in-game currency: diamonds and dark matter
- what you own: characters, balls, skills, arenas, and the loadout chosen for each character
- your story progress, per-character statistics and match history
- your ranked rating and results
- your friends list, friend requests and the players you blocked
- the tournaments and leagues you create or join, and your best daily challenge times
- purchase records: the store's order or transaction ID of each purchase, so it is delivered exactly once
- the promo codes you redeemed
- the date your account was created, total time spent in matches, and which tutorials, notices and rewards you have completed
Diagnostics
When something goes wrong, the game records short technical events: an event name with up to 600 characters of detail (for example an error message or a connection step), the app version, the platform, your device model and a random code for the session. We use them only to find and fix bugs.
Settings on your device
A few preferences (language, sound, graphics) stay on your phone only and are never uploaded.
2. What other players see
Your player name, profile picture, title, rank and most-played character appear on your player card, in the daily challenge leaderboard, in tournaments and leagues you take part in, and to your opponent in online matches. In online matches you can send your opponent short chat messages (up to 60 characters); they are delivered and not stored.
3. What we do not collect
Atoni does not ask for or collect your location, contacts, photos, files, microphone, camera, SMS or call history, and it does not use an advertising identifier. There is no advertising SDK, and analytics collection is switched off.
4. Why we use it
- to recognise your account when you sign in, and to save your progress and give it back on any device
- to show your player name and picture to you and to other players
- to run online matches, friends, tournaments, leagues and leaderboards
- to deliver each purchase exactly once and stop a promo code from being used twice
- to find and fix bugs
If you are in the EU or the UK: our legal basis is performance of a contract, because we cannot provide the game or keep your progress without this data. For diagnostics it is our legitimate interest in keeping the game working.
5. Who processes it for us
These companies process data on our behalf, only to run the game:
- Google: Firebase Authentication and Firebase Realtime Database (located in the EU, europe-west1, Belgium), Google Play Games Services and Google Play payments.
- Apple: Sign in with Apple and App Store payments, on iPhone.
- Exit Games (Photon): online matches. While you play online, match data passes through its servers in Turkey; like any internet service it sees your IP address, and when the game connects you directly, your opponent's device can see it too.
- Unity Technologies: the in-app purchase component. When you buy something, it sends the purchase details (product, price, transaction ID and receipt) and basic device information (model, operating system version, language) to Unity.
Payments are handled by Google Play or Apple; we never see your card details. We do not sell your data and we do not give it to advertisers, data brokers or anyone else.
Their privacy policies: Google · Apple · Photon · Unity
6. How it is protected
Your saved record can only be read and written by your own signed-in account. This is enforced by security rules running on Google's servers, not only by the app, so a modified copy of the game cannot reach anyone else's data. Traffic between the game and Google's servers is encrypted, and so is online match traffic.
7. How long we keep it
Until you delete your account. When you do, your data is removed from our database and your account from Firebase Authentication. We keep only what cannot be linked to you afterwards:
- promo code redemption records (a random ID and a time), so a code cannot be used twice
- in tournaments and leagues that other players took part in, your entry stays so their tables still work, but your name is removed from it; results keep the random ID of the winner
- a match invitation you sent stays in the other player's inbox until they open it
Purchase records kept by Google Play or Apple follow their own policies.
8. Deleting your account
In the game: Settings → DELETE ACCOUNT. Without the game: see playatoni.com/delete. Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription; cancel it in Google Play or the App Store.
9. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy we will update this page and the date at the top. If a change materially affects you, we will also announce it in the game.
