Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 October 2026

Introduction

Shaviyani Games ("we," "our," or "us") makes mobile games, including Shaviyani (a Dhivehi learning app for children) and Bottle Flip Rush (an arcade game). This Privacy Policy explains what information each app and this website collect, how it is used, and the choices you have. None of our apps require an account.

Shaviyani (Dhivehi learning app)

We collect only what is needed to run the app:

  • Subscription status (managed by Apple App Store, Google Play or, for website subscriptions, by us as described below)
  • Game progress (stored locally on your device)
  • A random app user ID from RevenueCat, used to unlock the games you have paid for and to restore purchases
  • Your email address, only if you unlock the app with a website subscription

Shaviyani contains no advertising and no tracking. Game data never leaves your device.

Website subscriptions paid through Bank of Maldives

When you subscribe on shaviyanigames.com we collect and store:

  • Email address, to sign you in with a one-time code, to link your subscription to the app, and to contact you about your subscription.
  • Billing name, address and country, which Bank of Maldives requires to process the payment and store your card.
  • Subscription and payment records: your plan, period dates, status, and the Bank of Maldives transaction and customer references. We never receive your full card number; Bank of Maldives shares with us only a reference to the stored card, its brand, last four digits and expiry month and year.
  • App installs unlocked by your subscription, identified by a random RevenueCat app user ID.

We use this data only to provide, renew, manage and support your subscription, and to meet our legal and accounting obligations. We do not sell it or use it for advertising.

Card details. You enter your card only on Bank of Maldives’ payment page, over an encrypted (TLS) connection. Bank of Maldives stores the card under the PCI DSS standard and charges it for renewals at our request. Our servers never see, transmit or store your full card number, expiry date or security code.

How we protect this data. Subscription records are kept on secured servers, encrypted in transit and at rest, and are accessible only to the people who run Shaviyani Games. Signing in requires a one-time code emailed to you; we hold no passwords.

Retention. We keep subscription and payment records for as long as your subscription is active and for up to 5 years afterwards for accounting purposes. Email us to ask what we hold about you or to request deletion of anything we are not required to keep.

Bottle Flip Rush

Bottle Flip Rush is free to play, supported by ads and optional in-app purchases. Game progress, bottle caps and settings are stored locally on your device. The app uses the following third-party services, which receive limited data from your device:

  • Google AdMob (advertising): receives your device's advertising identifier and information about the ads shown and tapped, to serve and measure ads. We do not request permission to track you across other apps, so ads are non-personalised. You can also remove interstitial ads with a one-time purchase.
  • Firebase Analytics (Google): receives anonymous usage events such as levels started and completed, so we can understand how the game is played and improve it. This data is not linked to your identity.
  • RevenueCat (purchases): processes in-app purchases made through the App Store or Google Play and keeps a purchase record tied to a random, anonymous app user ID so purchases can be restored. We never see your payment details.

These providers handle data under their own privacy policies: Google, RevenueCat.

Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Our apps do not require account creation, and game progress is stored locally on the device. Shaviyani, which is designed for children, contains no advertising or analytics of any kind.

Third-Party Services

Across our apps we use:

  • Apple App Store and Google Play Store for payments and subscriptions
  • Bank of Maldives (BML Connect) for website card payments
  • RevenueCat for unlocking purchases in our apps
  • Google AdMob and Firebase Analytics (Bottle Flip Rush only)

These services have their own privacy policies governing their data practices.

Data Security and Retention

Game data lives on your device and is removed when you delete the app. The only personal data we store ourselves is the website subscription data described above. Data held by the third-party services listed is retained according to their policies; you can reset your advertising identifier at any time in your device settings.

Your Choices

  • Reset or limit your advertising identifier in iOS or Android settings
  • Purchase Remove Ads in Bottle Flip Rush to stop interstitial ads
  • Delete the app to remove all locally stored game data
  • Email us to ask what data a provider holds or to request its deletion

Changes to This Policy

We will update this page when our apps or their data practices change, and revise the date at the top.
