Strikers Grid · last updated 4 November 2026
This explains what Strikers Grid keeps about you, why, and how to get rid of it. It covers both the website at strikersgrid.com and the Android app.
The short version. You can play without giving us anything — no email, no sign-up. The Android app shows adverts, supplied by Google; the website does not. We run no analytics and we sell nothing to anybody. What we keep is what the game needs to work.
What we keep
If you just play, without signing in:
- An account number and a six-character handle, both generated for you
- A display name, picked at random until you change it, and a country if you set one
- Your game record: matches, scores, rating, trophies, achievements, and the moves of matches you have played, so they can be replayed
- Your in-game coins and the items you own
- A sign-in token on your own device, so the game remembers you next time
If you sign in with Google, additionally:
- Your email address and the account identifier Google gives us
We ask Google only for your basic profile and email. We never see your password, and we cannot act on your Google account.
If you use the social parts, additionally:
- Your profile picture, if you upload one
- Who your friends are, and requests waiting either way
- Messages you send to friends, kept so the conversation is there when you return
- Players you have blocked, and reports you have filed
What we do not keep
- No real name, address, phone number or date of birth
- No payment details — nothing in the game costs real money
- No advertising identifier of our own. The adverts in the Android app use the one Android gives Google — see below — and it never reaches us
- No analytics, no tracking across other apps or sites, no third-party trackers
- Nothing is sold, rented or handed to data brokers. There is no such arrangement.
Adverts
The Android app shows adverts from Google AdMob. There are three places they appear: a banner at the bottom of the menus, never during a match; a full-screen advert after some finished matches; and one you can choose to watch in the Store in exchange for silver. The website has no adverts at all.
To show them, Google uses your device's advertising ID — a number Android gives to apps for this purpose, which you control. It is Google's, not ours: we never see it, never store it, and could not connect it to your account if we wanted to. What Google collects through it, and what it does with it, is covered by Google's own policy.
You can reset that number, or tell Android to stop giving it out, in Settings → Privacy → Ads on your phone. The adverts carry on; they stop being chosen for you.
The one you watch for silver works differently in one respect worth knowing: when it finishes, Google tells our server which account watched it, and our server adds the coins. That message carries your account number and nothing about you.
Your address
Our server sees your IP address, as every server does. We hold it briefly in memory to limit how often one connection can create accounts or upload pictures, which is how we keep the game usable for everybody. It is not written to our database and not tied to your account. Our hosting provider keeps ordinary access logs, as hosting providers do.
What other players can see
Your handle, display name, country if you set one, picture if you upload one, and your record — rating, matches, trophies. Anyone can look you up by your handle. Messages are seen by the friend you send them to.
Your email address is never shown to another player.
Who else is involved
- Google — for the adverts in the Android app, and if you choose to sign in. Google's own privacy policy applies to both.
- Cloudflare — serves the website.
- netcup GmbH — hosts the game server, in Germany. Your data is stored there.
If you share an invite link, your device's own share menu may offer apps such as WhatsApp or Telegram. Nothing is sent to them unless you pick one, and we are not told which.
How long
Until you ask us to delete it. Finished matches are kept so leaderboards and your history make sense.
Deleting your account
Write to [email protected] from the address you signed in with, or send us your six-character handle, and we will delete the account and everything attached to it: your profile, picture, messages, friends, coins and match history.
We will do it within 30 days and write back when it is done.
You can also do it yourself in the game: Settings, then Delete account. Full instructions and what is removed.
Children
Strikers Grid is not aimed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly keep anything about them. If you believe a child has made an account, write to us and we will remove it.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. One email does any of these. If you are in the EU or UK, the GDPR gives you these rights and you may also complain to your national data protection authority.
Changes
If this changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes and we will say so in the game. That includes adverts: the game carries none today, and if a later version ever does, this page will say so before that version reaches you, and it will say what is collected and why.
