Hide And Paint! privacy policy

Effective 4 September 2026

App: Hide And Paint!

Developer: Akhilesh

Last updated: September 4, 2026

Effective date: September 4, 2026

1. Overview

Hide And Paint! is a multiplayer hide-and-seek game. This policy explains what information the app handles, why, and what choices you have.

In short:

  • There are no user accounts. You do not register, and you never give us an email address, phone number, or password to play.
  • There are no advertisements, no analytics SDKs, no trackers, and no third-party marketing or advertising software of any kind in the app.
  • We do not sell or share your information with third parties.
  • The only information that leaves your device is what is needed to run a live multiplayer match: your chosen display name, your in-game actions, your chat messages, and, only while you hold the push-to-talk button, your voice.

2. Information the app handles

2.1 Display name

You choose a display name before joining a match. It is limited to 16 characters and filtered to letters, digits, spaces, and simple punctuation.

It is stored on your device so you do not have to retype it, and it is sent to our game server and shown to the other players in your match.

Please do not use your real full name, an email address, or any other personal detail as your display name. It is visible to everyone in the match.

2.2 Gameplay data

While a match is running, the app sends your in-game character's position, movement, chosen colors, role, and score to the game server, which relays them to the other players in the same match. This is what makes multiplayer work. This data is transient: it exists for the duration of the match and is not written to a database or retained after the match ends.

2.3 Text chat

Messages you type in the in-game chat are sent to the game server and relayed to the other players in your match. They are not stored after the match ends.

2.4 Voice chat (microphone)

The app includes optional proximity voice chat.

  • Your microphone is captured ONLY while you are actively holding the push-to-talk control. It is not recorded when you are not holding it.
  • Captured audio is converted to low-bandwidth voice data and relayed through our game server to the other players near you in the match.
  • Voice is NOT recorded, NOT stored, NOT saved to any file, and NOT transcribed, on your device or on our server. It is relayed live and then discarded.
  • Voice chat can be turned off entirely in the in-game settings, and you can also mute other players' voices. Your choice is saved on your device.
  • Android will ask for microphone permission. You may deny it, and you can revoke it at any time in your device's system settings. The game remains fully playable without microphone access.

2.5 Network information

To connect you to a match, our game server necessarily sees your device's IP address, as any internet server does. It is used only to establish and maintain the connection. It is not used to identify you, is not linked to your display name in any stored record, and is not used for advertising or profiling. Our server keeps operational logs (for example, that a match started or ended) for troubleshooting and abuse handling.

2.6 Downloadable maps

Some larger maps are not included in the app download and are fetched over the internet the first time you choose them. These requests ask for a map file. They do not include your display name or any personal information.

Downloaded maps are stored on your device so they only download once, and you can delete them from the in-app Maps screen to free up space.

2.7 Data stored on your device only

The app saves a small settings file on your device containing your display name, your voice chat preferences (microphone on/off, mute others, microphone volume), and your downloaded map files. This data stays on your device and is removed when you uninstall the app.

3. What the app does not collect

The app does not collect, request, or transmit:

  • Your name, email address, phone number, or postal address
  • Photos, videos, files, contacts, or your calendar
  • Location or GPS data
  • Advertising identifiers or device identifiers used for tracking
  • Financial or payment information (there are no in-app purchases)
  • Health, biometric, or browsing data
  • Any information used to build a profile of you

4. Android permissions

INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, ACCESS_WIFI_STATE

Required to connect to the multiplayer server and to download optional maps.

RECORD_AUDIO

Used only for push-to-talk voice chat, only while the push-to-talk control is held. Optional; the game works without it.

MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS

Used to route game and voice audio correctly on your device.

5. Where data is processed

Our multiplayer game server is hosted on Amazon Web Services infrastructure located in Mumbai, India. Optional map files may be served from Amazon Web Services storage. If you play from outside India, your gameplay traffic is processed in India. Traffic between the app and our server is encrypted in transit.

We do not use any other third-party service to process your information. We do not share it with advertisers, data brokers, or analytics providers.

6. Data retention

Gameplay data, chat, and voice exist only for the duration of a live match and are discarded when the match ends. We do not maintain a database of players, match history, or chat logs. Operational server logs are kept only as long as needed for troubleshooting and abuse handling, and are then deleted.

Data stored locally on your device is deleted when you uninstall the app.

7. Children

This app is not directed to children under 13. Because the app includes live voice and text chat with other players, we do not knowingly allow children under 13 to use it, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

If you believe a child under 13 has used the app and provided information, contact us at the address below and we will address it.

Parents and guardians should be aware that online multiplayer games with open voice and text chat can expose players to communication from strangers.

8. Your choices and rights

  • Change or clear your display name at any time on the main menu.
  • Turn voice chat off, or mute other players, in the in-game settings.
  • Deny or revoke microphone permission in your device's system settings.
  • Delete downloaded maps from the in-app Maps screen.
  • Delete everything the app has stored by uninstalling the app.

Because we do not operate accounts and do not retain personal records after a match, there is generally no stored personal data for us to retrieve, correct, or delete on request. If you believe we hold information about you and want it removed, contact us and we will look into it.

9. Security

Communication between the app and our server is encrypted in transit. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but because we do not operate user accounts and do not retain gameplay data after a match, there is very little information to expose.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the app changes, for example if we later add accounts, purchases, or new features. The "Last updated" date at the top will change, and the current version will always be available at the link listed on our Google Play store page. Significant changes will be noted in the app or on the store listing.
