Verbia Privacy Policy

Effective October 12, 2026

Summon Mars publishes Verbia. This policy explains how Verbia handles information when you play the game.

Request deletion of your Verbia account

You can delete your cloud account without an installed mobile app. Open Verbia in your browser, use portrait orientation, and open Account & Save from the main menu. Sign in with the same Google or Apple account used for your cloud save, then choose Delete Cloud Account and confirm. Apple users may be asked to confirm their Apple authorization again. Cancelling confirmation does not delete the account.

This deletes the Firebase account, cloud game save, generated callsign, and public leaderboard entry. Your local progress remains on each device until you reset it or remove app storage. Apple and Google retain their own purchase records so purchases can be restored; deleting the cloud account does not cancel or transfer Explorer Pass ownership. Deleted active account records are not retained by Verbia; platform backup and operational log retention follows the hosting provider's policies.

If you cannot access the account, contact info@summonmars.com with the subject “Verbia account deletion.” Identify the sign-in provider and callsign if known. Do not send passwords, verification codes, payment details, or identity documents. Ownership must be verified before account data can be removed.

Local game data

Verbia stores game progress, settings, earned points, inventory, and gameplay history locally on your device. This information is used to run the game and restore your journey.

Optional account backup

An account is not required to play. If you choose Google or Apple sign-in, Firebase Authentication processes the account identifier and basic profile information supplied by that provider. Verbia stores a compact cloud copy of game progress and your generated callsign so you can recover your journey and participate in Top Explorers. Verbia does not upload contacts, photos, precise location, or personal files for save synchronization.

Top Explorers

If you leave leaderboard sharing enabled, Verbia publishes your generated callsign, score, level, platform, and selected avatar, companion, and vehicle. Your email address and provider account name are never displayed. You may turn sharing off or delete the cloud account from Account & Save.

Advertising and purchases

Mobile releases may use Google Play Billing or Apple In-App Purchase for a one-time $3.99 Explorer Pass and may use platform-approved advertising services for limited advertising and optional rewarded ads. Those platform services may process purchase information, diagnostics, interaction data, and—only when applicable and permitted—device or advertising identifiers according to their own policies. Explorer Pass removes forced and banner advertising and makes the listed seasonal explorers, companions, and vehicles available to claim without Discovery Points; optional rewarded advertising may remain available by choice.

Children and audience

Verbia is a general-audience word game and is not directed specifically to children. The game filters explicit and abusive vocabulary, but the store listing’s declared audience and content rating govern distribution.

Retention and deletion

Local progress remains until the player resets the game, clears app storage, or removes the app. Cloud progress, the generated callsign, and the leaderboard record remain until the player uses Delete Cloud Account. Replaced callsigns are released for reuse after a short cooldown. Platform purchase records are retained by Google or Apple as required to provide and restore purchases.

Security

Verbia is privacy-conscious by design: it intentionally keeps a player's personal identity out of cloud game saves and public rankings. Cloud saves and leaderboard records do not contain email addresses, provider profile names, profile photos, passwords, contacts, personal files, precise location, or advertising identifiers. Google or Apple may provide basic account information to Firebase Authentication when a player voluntarily connects backup, but that identity is kept separate from the game save and public leaderboard.

Connections use HTTPS encryption, and Google Cloud encrypts stored customer content at rest. Direct access to Verbia's database is denied; authenticated server functions validate save and leaderboard requests. Public leaderboard entries use a separate random public identifier instead of the internal authentication identifier. No online service can guarantee that a breach is impossible, so Verbia combines encryption with data minimization, access controls, account deletion, and limited public information.
