Privacy policy

Effective 30 July 2026 · applies to the Navalsmith iOS and Android apps

Navalsmith is published by Queuelab (“we”, “us”) under the Queuegames brand. Contact for privacy matters: contact@queuegames.app.

The short version

No account required. Solo and Daily play stay on your device. Online Classic and Fleet Race use Google Firebase for anonymous sign-in and multiplayer match state. We do not sell your personal information. Optional ads may appear when you leave a finished solo game; you can remove them with an in-app purchase.

What the app does

Navalsmith is a fleet-duel strategy game: place a classic fleet, hunt a friend (Classic), or race the same chart shot-for-shot (Fleet Race), plus solo AI and a shared Daily fleet. You can play without creating a username, email, or password. The product is original Queuegames software and is not affiliated with Hasbro or the Battleship trademark.

Data we process

On-device game data. Stats, streaks, settings, and purchase entitlement flags are stored locally on your device.
Anonymous authentication (online play). Multiplayer signs in anonymously with Firebase Authentication, creating a random user id. It is not linked to your name or email by us.
Online match data. Match documents, invite codes, and short-lived tokens live in Cloud Firestore and related Cloud Functions (region europe-west1) for multiplayer only. Opponent private fleets and race shared fleets are handled so peers do not receive unfair spoilers beyond the rules of the mode. Match data is designed to expire (TTL).
Push notifications (optional). If you allow alerts, we use Firebase Cloud Messaging (and Apple Push Notification service on iOS) to deliver transactional match updates (for example a friend joined, a rematch was offered, or your turn in Classic). A separate optional Daily reminder is a local notification on your device.
In-app purchases. Optional purchases (extra_fleets, remove_ads) are processed by Apple App Store or Google Play Billing. We receive entitlement information, not your full payment details.
Camera (optional). If you scan a friend’s invite QR code, the camera reads it on-device only. We do not upload camera frames.
Diagnostics & usage. To keep the app stable we use Firebase Crashlytics (crash reports) and Google Analytics for Firebase (aggregate usage), keyed to a random, app-local id — never your name or email. We also use Firebase Remote Config to toggle features safely (including an ads kill switch).
Advertising. The app uses Google AdMob to show full-screen ads at limited seams (for example when leaving a finished solo game to Home). Friend rematches are never ad-taxed. Where required (for example the EEA/UK), a consent form (Google UMP) is shown before ads are requested. You can remove ads with the optional in-app purchase Remove Ads. AdMob may use an advertising identifier and standard ad-related data as described in Google’s policies.

If GDPR or similar law applies, you may request access, correction, or deletion of personal data we hold, and lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority (in Poland: UODO). Contact: contact@queuegames.app.

Children

Navalsmith is a general-audience strategy game with soft language, not directed at children under 13 (or the age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

We may update this policy when the product or law changes; the effective date above will be revised.
