This page explains how to have your Crossword Zoo Rescue account and game data deleted, what is removed, and what we are required to keep.
Email corelexgames@gmail.com with the subject “Delete my account”.
We confirm by email once the deletion is complete. You do not need to pay anything, and you do not need an account on any other service to make the request.
| Deleted | Detail |
|---|---|
| Your account | The Firebase Authentication record, including the anonymous identifier and any linked Google Sign-In |
| Your name and email address | Only present if you signed in with Google |
| Game progress | Level, coins, gems, power-ups, rescued animals, habitat upgrades, visitors, daily streak |
| Leaderboard entry | Your display name and Zoo Points are removed from the rankings |
| Gameplay analytics tied to your account | Events recorded against your Player ID |
Deletion is permanent. Progress cannot be restored afterwards, and purchased items are not transferable to a new account.
| Kept | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase and refund records | Required for tax, accounting and fraud prevention. Held by Google Play as the seller; our copy records only what was bought and when. | Up to 7 years, as required by law |
| Aggregated and anonymised analytics | Counts and totals that can no longer be linked to you or your device | Indefinitely |
| Server and security logs | Operational and abuse-prevention records that may contain an IP address | Up to 30 days |
| Advertising data held by Google AdMob | Not held by us. Tied to your device’s advertising identifier, not your account. | Managed by Google — reset or delete your advertising ID in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads |
We action requests within 30 days of receiving them, and usually much sooner. Backups are overwritten on a rolling cycle, so residual copies are removed within a further 30 days.
