Data Deletion - MapGenius

App: MapGenius - World Geography Quiz (com.uplyfire.mapgenius) Developer: Uplyfire Last Updated: October 1, 2026 Effective Date: October 1, 2026

This page explains how to delete the data that MapGenius keeps about you, what we delete, and what we keep and for how long. The full picture of our data practices is in the Privacy Policy.

MapGenius has no sign-up and no login. Your data lives in two places:

• On your device: your Genius Mode and Study Mode history, scores, statistics and settings.
• On our backend (Google Firebase, European Union): your Player ID (a random identifier created for your installation), your ranking nickname and country flag, your Daily Quiz, Daily Map and Daily Duel results, your Genius Mode records and ranking entries, and, if you bought MapGenius Pro, the record of that purchase.

Delete the data on our backend

1. Open MapGenius and go to Settings → Data.
2. Tap your Player ID to copy it. Do this before you uninstall the App or clear its data: once the Player ID is gone from your device, we may have no way of telling which record was yours.
3. Email uplyfire@gmail.com with the subject “Data deletion - MapGenius” and paste your Player ID. Please send the Player ID, not only your nickname: several players can use the same nickname.
4. We delete your data within 30 days and reply to confirm.

Uninstalling the App does not delete this data. After a reinstall the App creates a new Player ID, and your old nickname and scores stay in the rankings until you ask us to delete them.

If you only want your nickname and scores removed from the public rankings, but want to keep your progress, say so in your email.

You can also change your nickname, or remove your country flag, yourself at any time under Settings → Player profile.

What we delete

• Your Player ID and the anonymous Firebase account behind it
• Your nickname and country
• Your Daily Quiz, Daily Duel and Daily Map results and progress, including your individual answers
• Your Genius Mode records, your ranking totals and your entries in every ranking (the rankings are recalculated without you)
• Your Pro status on the backend and the technical details stored with your record (time zone, app version, dates, daily counters)
• The usage analytics events recorded under your Player ID in Google Analytics for Firebase (we submit a deletion request to Google)

What we keep, and for how long

• If you bought MapGenius Pro: a one-way hash of the Google Play purchase token, the order number and the product, with your Player ID removed. We keep it for as long as needed to stop the same purchase from being reused and to process refunds. Your purchase itself stays valid: reinstall the App and tap Restore Purchases to get Pro back.
• Technical request logs of our backend expire automatically, normally after 30 days.
• Crash reports in Google Crashlytics expire automatically after 90 days.
• Our email exchange about your request, kept to document that we handled it.

Delete the data on your device

• Reset progress: Settings → Reset All Progress → confirm. This deletes your Genius and Study history, scores and statistics on this device. It does not touch the data on our backend.
• Clear all App data: Android Settings → Apps → MapGenius → Storage → Clear Data.
• Uninstall the App: removes all data stored on your device.

If Android backup is switched on, a copy of the App’s local data may also be kept in your Google account’s backup, which you manage in your Google account settings.

Data managed by Google

• Google AdMob (advertising): manage or delete advertising data in your Google Account settings, and reset or delete your Advertising ID in Android Settings → Google → Ads.
• Google Play (purchases): purchase history is managed by Google Play, see Google Play Order History.
