Silip Taguan privacy policy
Summary
Silip Taguan is a single-player game of Filipino hide and seek: you hide from a computer seeker, or you seek computer hiders, on 30 neighbourhood maps, with a daily walk. It has no accounts, no sign-in, no chat and no developer server. Your game progress stays on your device. The game shows ads through Google AdMob, which collects some device data as described below.
Data on your device
Silip Taguan saves the following on your device only: simple play statistics (walks played, wins, stars per map, best scores, time played), which daily walks you completed and your daily streak, whether you finished the first-run practice, your last role and difficulty choice, your settings (sound, music, volumes, vibration, left-handed layout, reduced motion, "always see the seeker"), and the unfinished walk you left (saved as the map, a random seed and your taps so it can be resumed). This data is not sent to us or to anyone else. It is removed when you clear the app's storage or uninstall the app. The Settings screen includes a reset option for statistics, stars and the daily record. Android's standard backup is allowed, so your device may copy this local data to your own Google account if you have device backup turned on; we have no access to those backups.
Advertising and consent
Silip Taguan shows ads using the Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) SDK and Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) for consent: a small banner on the home menu and an occasional full-screen ad after a finished walk. Ads are never shown while you are playing a walk or the practice yard, and the game does not offer rewarded videos. The game works without ads and without an internet connection.
When ads are requested, Google and its advertising partners may collect and process, depending on your consent and region: your Advertising ID, IP address (and the approximate location derived from it), device and operating system information, app version, and information about how ads were shown and interacted with, including crash and performance diagnostics. Google uses this to serve and measure ads, to limit ad frequency, to prevent fraud and, where you have allowed it, to personalise ads. We do not receive this data about you from the game and we do not run our own analytics.
See Google's explanation of how it uses data from apps that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and the Google Privacy Policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
Your choices
- Where required (for example in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom), Silip Taguan shows a Google consent message the first time you open the app, and no ads are requested until your choice allows it. If you decline, the game stays fully playable.
- Where the consent platform requires it, a Privacy options entry appears in Settings so you can review or change your choice at any time.
- On Android you can reset your Advertising ID or opt out of ads personalisation in the device settings (Settings > Privacy > Ads, wording varies by device).
- You can play offline (airplane mode) and the game stays fully playable.
Permissions
Silip Taguan uses the Internet and network-state permissions so that ads can load, the Advertising ID permission (and Android's related ad-services permissions) so that ads can be served and measured, and the vibration permission for optional haptic feedback, which you can turn off in Settings. Google's ads library also declares wake-lock and foreground-service permissions for its own background ad tasks; the game itself runs no foreground service. The game does not request your location, contacts, photos, microphone or camera.
Sharing and retention
We do not sell your data and we do not share any data from the game with third parties, other than the data Google AdMob collects as described above. Local game data is kept until you clear it or uninstall the app. Data processed by Google is kept according to Google's policies.
Children
Silip Taguan is intended for players aged 13 and over and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has used the app, please contact us and clear the app data on the device.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
