Privacy Policy

K2K Studios · Last updated: 5 November 2026

This policy covers Flick Kings by K2K Studios ("we", "us"). It explains what information is used when you play, why, and the choices you have. Published at https://k2kstudios.co.uk/flick-kings/privacy/

What we collect

We don't ask you to create an account with us, and we don't collect your email address, contacts, photos or precise location.

  • Game progress. Your clubs, kits, coins, gems, missions, cup results and settings are stored on your device.
  • Rivals. If you play Rivals, our server (Google Cloud Functions and Firestore) stores a random player identifier, a one-way hash of a random secret your device keeps, your rating, your recent Rivals results, and your team card: the club, kit, ball, stadium, celebration, formation and power-ups you chose, and a display name. The display name is your Game Center or Google Play Games name if you are signed in, otherwise a generated name. Other players see your team card and rating when they play against your team. An AI team takes your seat after 14 days without a Rivals match.
  • Game Center / Google Play Games (optional). The game asks Game Center (iOS) or Google Play Games (Android) to sign you in, so it can unlock achievements and keep a cloud save of your progress. The cloud save is stored in iCloud or Google Play Games, not by us.
  • Purchases. In-app purchases and subscriptions are made through the App Store or Google Play; we never see your payment details. To stop fake and repeated purchases, the game sends the product and the purchase token or signed transaction to our server, which asks Google or checks Apple's signature and keeps a one-way hash of it with the product, the order number and the time.
  • Usage statistics and crash reports. After you allow it in the consent message where the law requires one, Google Analytics for Firebase records how the game is played, for example matches finished, the result, ads watched and purchases made, and Firebase Crashlytics records crash reports with device details. They use a random installation identifier.
  • Advertising. The free game shows ads from Google AdMob: full-screen ads between matches and optional reward videos. Google may collect your device's advertising identifier (on iOS only if you allow tracking), IP address and information about your device and how you interact with ads.
  • Reminders. If you allow notifications, reminders are scheduled on your device. Nothing is sent to us.

How we use it

To run the game and keep your progress, to run Rivals, to provide achievements and cloud save, to deliver what you buy and stop fraudulent purchases, to find crashes and see which parts of the game to improve, and to show ads that keep the game free.

Legal bases (UK/EU): performing our agreement with you (running the game, Rivals, purchases, cloud save), our legitimate interests (preventing purchase fraud, keeping Rivals fair) and your consent where it's required (personalised ads, usage statistics and crash reports).

Who receives it

  • Google (AdMob, Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, Cloud Functions and Firestore, Google Play and Google Play Games), as our service provider and, for ads, as an independent controller under its own policy.
  • Apple (App Store, StoreKit, Game Center and iCloud), under its own policy.
  • Other Flick Kings players see your Rivals team card, display name and rating.

Some of these providers process data outside the UK, including in the United States, under safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum and the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Your choices

  • Ads and statistics: change your choices at any time in the game's Settings, "Privacy choices" (shown where the law requires it); on iOS, turn tracking off in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking; on Android, delete or reset your advertising ID in your device's settings.
  • Game Center / Google Play Games: don't sign in, or sign out in your device's settings or the Google Play Games app. The game works without it.
  • Delete your data: see https://k2kstudios.co.uk/flick-kings/delete-data/ . Uninstalling the app removes everything stored on your device.
  • Your rights: depending on where you live, you can ask to access, correct or delete your personal data, object to or restrict how it's used, or move it elsewhere. Email us below. You can also complain to your data protection authority (in the UK, the ICO).

Children

Flick Kings is suitable for a general audience but is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, email us and we'll delete it.

Retention and security

Usage statistics are kept by Google Analytics for up to 14 months, then deleted. Rivals data is kept while you play and removed on request. Purchase records on our server are kept for as long as needed to stop fraud and meet legal duties. Data is encrypted in transit.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top.
