Privacy Policy

Overview

College Wrestling 27 is a wrestling career simulation. Single-player needs no account — that gameplay stays on your device. Optional online play and verification for web purchase restoration use an account (see "Multiplayer accounts" below). We use limited, non-personalized analytics to understand how the game is used (see "Analytics" below), and the free version shows ads served by Google (see "Advertising" below); you can remove ads with the Remove Ads, Pro, or All-Access purchase.

Data we collect

Information you provide in the game — wrestler name, career choices, stats, schedules, and other gameplay data you create while playing.

Device storage — save files are stored locally on your device (IndexedDB in the browser or native app storage on iPhone) so you can continue careers across sessions.

Usage analytics — gameplay events (for example, starting a career, completing a season, or finishing a purchase) tagged with a random device ID. When you sign in, these events can also be associated with your game account ID. See "Analytics" below.

Purchase email — if you buy through the web checkout (Stripe), Stripe collects your email address so we can restore your purchases if you reinstall or switch devices. We verify the checkout email through the account sign-in flow before restoring a web purchase. Apple and Google process native store payments. We receive provider transaction identifiers, purchased products, subscription dates and verified status to manage access, not your store password or card details. Where account purchases are enabled, an opaque purchase-account identifier links verified transactions to your game account.

We do not collect your real-world name, location, photos, contacts, or payment/card details directly in the app.

Multiplayer accounts

Playing online against another person requires an account, hosted by Supabase. You can sign in three ways: as a guest (a random account ID, no personal details), with Sign in with Apple (Apple shares an account identifier and — only if you allow it — your email address, which can be Apple's private relay address), or with an email one-time code (we store the email address you enter).

Alongside the account we store your online match history, created competitive build, progression, objectives and records, keyed to account IDs. Your single-player career saves remain on your device. Web purchase restoration verifies your email using the same account service.

You can sign out or delete your account at any time inside the app (Online → Delete account, where Online is available). Contact support if this account control is unavailable in your build. Account deletion removes the sign-in account and its email address and clears online gameplay data. Limited purchase and reconciliation records are retained as described under "Retention & deletion" below.

Analytics

We use Vercel Analytics on the web app for aggregate, privacy-friendly traffic metrics (e.g., page views), and may use Firebase Analytics (Google) to understand gameplay usage patterns — for example, which features are used or where players drop off. Events carry a random device identifier and, while signed in, can include your game account ID to measure activity across sessions. Purchase and ad events describe funnel activity; raw receipts, purchase tokens and email addresses are not included in these analytics events. This data is not sold and is not shared with advertisers.

How data is used

• Run the game and restore your saved careers
• Let you export a backup JSON file if you choose to
• Restore your purchases if you reinstall the app or switch devices
• Understand how players use the game so we can improve it

Your gameplay data (wrestler names, careers, stats) is not sold and is never sent to advertisers.

Advertising

The free version of the mobile app shows ads, including banner ads and occasional full-screen ads between seasons, plus optional rewarded videos you choose to watch. Ads are provided by Google AdMob in the mobile app. The web version does not show ads. To serve ads in the mobile app, Google may collect and process device information such as a device advertising identifier, IP address, and general ad-interaction data. This data is handled by Google under Google's privacy & terms.

On iPhone, the app asks for your permission (the App Tracking Transparency prompt) before allowing personalized ads, and where required we show Google's consent form. If you decline, you still see ads, but they are non-personalized.

You can turn ads off entirely by buying Remove Ads, Pro, or the All-Access Pass. Ads never appear during the in-match minigame.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal gameplay data, and we do not share it with advertisers. If you export a save file, you control where that file is stored or shared. We do use a small number of service providers to run the app and process purchases: Stripe (checkout and subscription billing), Apple (App Store purchases and Sign in with Apple), Google Play (Android purchases), Supabase (accounts, online game data and verified purchase records), and Google Firebase (gameplay analytics). Each only receives the data described above, needed to perform its function.

Hosting providers (such as Vercel) may process standard technical logs when you load the web app (for example, IP address and request metadata) to deliver the site. We do not receive those logs directly in the game.

Retention & deletion

Saves remain on your device until you clear a career slot, delete app/browser data, or remove the app. You can delete in-game progress from Settings or the main menu slot controls. Multiplayer accounts and online gameplay data remain until you delete your account through the available account control or request assistance from support. Purchase-account records lose their link to the deleted sign-in account but retain opaque provider transaction references to prevent reassignment or duplicate claims. Financial reconciliation and royalty audit records are retained separately; deleting a game account does not cancel a store subscription or delete provider transaction records. Manage an active subscription with the store where it was purchased. Previously recorded analytics remain subject to the analytics provider's configured retention. Contact support about data-deletion requests.

Children

Single-player can be used without creating an account. Optional online play and verification for web purchase restoration use the account information described above. For questions about a child's information, contact the developer through the support channel listed below.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when we do.
