Data & Account Deletion

Neural Breach — Cyberpunk Puzzle Game for Android

Effective Date: May 19, 2026  |  Last Updated: July 31, 2026

1. Overview

This page is the public data- and account-deletion endpoint for Neural Breach, as required by the Google Play User Data policy. Anyone can use the methods below without re-installing the app or signing in to it.

Neural Breach does not require account registration with us and we operate no backend server of our own. Because the app does not maintain a separate in-app account, deleting the data described below is equivalent to deleting your in-app account. The data linked to you is held in the following locations, all under third-party (Google) or device control:

• On your device — local game progress, in-game currency, inventory, and app preferences.
• Google Play Games Services (PGS) — only if you signed in to Play Games inside the app. Stores a cloud-save snapshot, achievement progress, and a player profile (including a player ID and display name) under your Google Account.
• Google Play Billing — purchase tokens and transaction records for any in-app purchases, retained by Google under its own policies.
• Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) and Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) — advertising identifiers and ad-interaction telemetry held by Google (controlled via your Google Account and Android settings), plus the ad-consent string. The consent string is stored locally on your device and can be reset at any time via the in-app Settings → > PRIVACY SETTINGS → OPEN flow.
• Firebase Crashlytics — crash and freeze reports (stack trace, device state, App version) recorded against a randomly generated installation identifier. Held by Google for up to 90 days. Because a report carries no name or account, it cannot be traced back to you and so cannot be deleted individually — see Section 7.
• Google Analytics for Firebase — gameplay events (levels started and completed, tutorial progress, ads shown) recorded against a randomly generated app-instance identifier and, unless you have deleted it, your Android Advertising ID. Held by Google; see Method D below.
• Android OS backups — if Auto Backup is enabled, app data may be backed up by the operating system to your personal Google Drive, independently of the app.

For the full list of what we collect and why, see our Privacy Policy.

2. What Gets Deleted

The table below summarises the main data categories and which deletion method removes each. It is a summary — the Privacy Policy is the authoritative inventory.

Data category	Where it lives	Deleted by
Game progress (levels, stars, best scores)	Local Room database on your device	Method A, or uninstall + clear app data
In-game credits balance, inventory, upgrade progress	Local Room database on your device	Method A
Gameplay statistics (total moves, time played, win streaks)	Local Room database on your device	Method A
App preferences (volume, CRT effect, haptics, tutorial flags)	Local DataStore on your device	Method A
App language selection	Android per-app language setting	Android Settings → Apps → Neural Breach → Language
Cloud-save snapshot (mirror of progress, credits, inventory)	Google Play Games Services	Method A (best-effort) or Method B
Play Games player ID and display name, achievement unlock status, and player-profile binding for this game	Google Play Games Services	Method B
Advertising identifier (AdID) and ad personalization data	Google Mobile Ads (held by Google)	Method D
Ad-consent status (TCF v2 / UMP consent string)	Google User Messaging Platform	In-app Settings → > PRIVACY SETTINGS → OPEN (re-open the consent dialog) — see Method D
Purchase tokens and transaction records (Play Billing)	Your Google Play account, held by Google	Retained by Google for legal/tax reasons — see Section 7
Diagnostic and ad-interaction telemetry (impressions, IP, app set ID, device model)	Google AdMob (held by Google)	Controlled by Google; managed via Method D and the in-app consent dialog
Android OS backups of app data (if Auto Backup is enabled)	Your personal Google Drive (held by Google)	Android Settings → Google → Backup

3. Method A — One-Tap In-App PURGE (Recommended)

1. Open Neural Breach on your Android device.
2. From the main menu, tap the gear icon to open Settings.
3. Scroll to the // DATA WIPE section near the bottom. You will see a highlighted > PURGE ALL DATA label.
4. Tap the PURGE button beneath that label. A confirmation dialog warns you that the action is irreversible.
5. Tap CONFIRM PURGE to proceed, or ABORT to cancel.
6. On confirmation, the app erases:
   • All level progress, stars, and best scores
   • Credits balance, inventory, and upgrade progress
   • Gameplay statistics
   • App preferences (audio volume, visual effects, haptics, tutorial flags)
   and additionally attempts to delete the Play Games cloud-save snapshot.
7. The local app state returns to a clean post-install state.

Cloud-save best-effort caveat. The cloud-save deletion in Method A succeeds only when (a) you are currently signed in to Play Games inside the app, (b) the device has network connectivity, and (c) there is no sync conflict on the snapshot. If any of those conditions fails, the local data is still wiped but the Play Games snapshot may persist. If you want to be certain that the cloud save is gone, run Method B afterwards.

Not cleared by Method A: the app language selection (this is the Android per-app language setting and lives outside the app); Play Games achievement progress and player profile (use Method B); advertising identifier (Method D); Play Billing purchase history retained by Google.

4. Method B — Delete Play Games Data via Your Google Account

Use this method to ask Google to delete the Play Games data associated with Neural Breach (which may include the cloud-save snapshot, achievement progress, player ID/display name, and the player-profile binding for this game). It is required if you have already uninstalled the app or if you were not signed in to Play Games when you used Method A. The scope of what is actually removed is described in more detail at the end of this section.

4.1 On the web (recommended)

1. Visit play.google.com/games/profile in any browser, signed in to the Google Account you used inside Neural Breach.
2. Open the Your Data section of your Play Games profile.
3. Choose Delete Play Games Account & Data, then select the option to delete data for a single game.
4. Locate Neural Breach in the list and confirm deletion.

4.2 On Android

1. Open the Google Play Store app and tap your account avatar.
2. Go to Settings → General → Play Games Profile → Privacy & Settings → Your Data.
3. Tap Delete profile & game data. Under Delete individual game data, find Neural Breach and tap Delete.

Google's current help article is Delete your Play Games data or Play Games profile. Note that Google uses slightly different button labels in the two flows (Delete Play Games Account & Data on the web, Delete profile & game data on Android). Exact navigation steps may also drift between Play Games versions and Android releases; if you cannot find the option, follow the linked Google article for the latest path.

Scope of Method B. Deleting Play Games data for Neural Breach removes the data Google Play Games stores in connection with this specific game — which may include the cloud-save snapshot, in-game achievements, and the player binding for Neural Breach. It does not delete your overall Google Account, your Play Games profile across other games, your Web & App Activity, your Play Store purchase history, or any data Google holds independently of Play Games.

5. Method C — Deletion Request by Email

If the steps above are not practical for you — for example, you have lost access to the device or to the Google Account you played the game with — you may submit a deletion request by email:

To help us identify what to delete, please include in your message:

• The Google Account email associated with the Play Games sign-in used in the app, or your Play Games player ID (visible in the Play Games app profile). If you used more than one account, list all of them.
• The approximate date of last use, if you remember it.
• A short statement that you are the owner of that account and that you authorise the deletion.

5.1 What we can do by email

Because Neural Breach does not operate a backend server, the developer cannot directly delete data that Google stores on your behalf — including the Play Games cloud-save snapshot, achievement progress, the AdID, or Play Store purchase records. For those, you remain the only party with the authority to act, through Method A, Method B, Method D, or your Google Account settings. By email we can:

• Confirm what categories of data exist and where, and guide you through the appropriate self-service method.
• Delete any data that we, as the developer, control directly — for example, your message and verification correspondence — subject to the retention schedule described in Section 8 (we keep request correspondence for up to 12 months as a record of compliance, or shorter on your request once the original deletion request has been processed).
• Confirm that Neural Breach itself does not hold a separate developer-side copy of your data outside the locations described in Section 1.
• Where helpful, point you to Google Play support or provide the information you need to open your own Play support request (response times for that channel remain Google's, not ours).

5.2 Verification and timing

Because Neural Breach operates no backend server and holds no developer-side copy of your in-game data, our ability to independently verify a request is limited. We will reply to your request, confirm in good faith that the email account contacting us is the originator, and use the information you provide to point you to the correct self-service method (Method A, B, or D) for the data Google actually holds on your behalf. We will not request government ID, your full legal name, or any other information beyond what is strictly necessary, and we will not ask for sensitive personal data.

We aim to respond to deletion requests within 30 days, in line with applicable data-protection law. If the request is complex, we may extend this period by an additional 60 days and will inform you of the extension within the initial 30-day period. These commitments are made with reference to, and are intended to be consistent with:

• EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation, Articles 12 and 17 (transparency of procedure and the right to erasure).
• California Consumer Privacy Act / California Privacy Rights Act, California Civil Code §§1798.105 and 1798.130 (right to delete and operative procedures).

Where mandatory local law sets a stricter or different timeline, that local law prevails.

6. Method D — Advertising Identifier & Ad Personalization

The app uses Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to show interstitial and rewarded advertisements. AdMob may use the Android advertising identifier (AdID) tied to your device. To reset or delete this identifier:

1. Open Android Settings. Menu paths vary slightly across Android versions and device manufacturers.
2. Navigate to one of: Google → Ads, Privacy → Ads, or Security & Privacy → Privacy → Ads.
3. Tap Delete advertising ID (on Android 12 and later) or Reset advertising ID on older versions.
4. Optionally enable Opt out of Ads Personalization.

You can also re-open the in-app ad-consent dialog at any time via Settings → Privacy Settings inside Neural Breach to withdraw consent or change your choice.

This same choice controls gameplay analytics. Neural Breach uses Google Analytics for Firebase to record which levels are started, completed or restarted, so we can see where players get stuck. Collection is switched off when the app is installed. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland it begins only after you consent through the dialog; elsewhere, where prior consent is not legally required, it begins on first launch. Where the Settings → Privacy Settings entry is offered on your device, withdrawing consent there stops collection immediately; otherwise clearing the App's data or uninstalling it stops it.

These events are recorded against a randomly generated app-instance identifier rather than your name or Google Account, so we cannot identify you from them on our own. They are pseudonymous, not anonymous: if you send us that identifier we can ask Google to delete the events recorded against it. Withdrawing consent stops future collection but does not by itself erase events already recorded.

7. Data We Cannot Delete

Some data is held by Google or other third parties under their own policies, not by us, and cannot be erased through any of the methods above:

• Google Play Store purchase history. Records of in-app purchases (price, date, order ID, purchase token) are retained by Google under applicable legal, accounting, tax, refund, and anti-fraud obligations. You can review them at play.google.com/store/account/orderhistory. Refunds, where eligible, are handled by Google under the Google Play refund policy.
• Aggregated, anonymised, or de-identified analytics that can no longer be linked back to you.
• Backups Google or your device OS may have made independently of our app — for example, Android Auto Backup to your personal Google Drive. Manage or remove these in Android Settings → Google → Backup.
• Your overall Google Account, Web & App Activity, or device-level Google services. Manage these directly in your Google Account at myaccount.google.com.

8. Retention Periods

• Local data on your device: retained until you purge it in-app, clear app storage, or uninstall the app. We have no access to it.
• Play Games cloud-save snapshot: stored by Google under your Google Account until you delete it (Method A or Method B), or until your Google Account itself is deleted under Google's account-data policies.
• Email deletion requests (Method C): processed within 30 days of receipt, extendable by up to 60 days for complex requests, in line with the timeline stated in our Privacy Policy. We retain the request correspondence for up to 12 months as a record of compliance and then delete it.
• Play Store purchase records: retained by Google under its own policies for as long as required by applicable tax, accounting, refund, and anti-fraud rules.
