Privacy Policy — Moto Spy
Effective / last updated: August 4, 2026
Moto Spy (“the App”) is a single-player action driving game published by Synova Games. This policy describes what information the App may process when you play on Android and related desktop builds where the same features apply.
Who we are
| Developer / publisher | Synova Games |
|---|---|
| Contact | admin@synovagames.com |
| Website | https://www.synovagames.com |
| Package | com.motospy.motospy |
No Synova account required
Core play does not require a Synova Games account, email/password login, Facebook login, or any separate registration system owned by Synova. You can play with local progress on your device.
Optional Google Play Games sign-in (Android, when enabled in a build) may be used for player ID, leaderboards, and cloud progress. That is Play Games authentication operated by Google, not a Synova login.
Information we process
Advertising (Google AdMob) and consent (UMP)
On Android, free play may show Google AdMob ads, including:
- Interstitial ads (for example between missions / level transitions)
- Rewarded ads used for optional recoveries and restores (for example armor, fuel, ammo, or pause-menu restore offers)
Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent form may be shown where required (for example in the EEA/UK and other regulated regions).
AdMob and its partners may process data such as:
- Android Advertising ID and other device / advertising identifiers
- Approximate location (derived from IP or other signals used by the ad SDK)
- Device and app technical information (OS version, device model, network type, etc.)
- Ad interaction and performance data
This processing is governed by Google’s policies. See:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
https://support.google.com/admob/answer/7665952
You can reset or limit the advertising ID in Android settings. Where UMP is shown, you can manage consent choices through the form (and system settings where available).
Optional in-app purchase (full unlock)
On Android, an optional Full Unlock in-app product (list price approximately USD $3.99, product id com.motospy.motospy.unlock) may remove ads and unlock the related “unlimited updates / no ads” benefits described in the App.
- Billing is handled by Google Play Billing.
- Google may process purchase history and related billing data for that product.
- Synova does not receive your full payment-card details.
- After purchase (or restore), the App stores a local unlock flag (for example in a settings/save file) so ads can be skipped.
Online high scores (Dreamlo) and display names
If you finish a non-cheat run and submit online, the App may upload a score and related metadata to a third-party leaderboard service (Dreamlo) so other players can see Top scores. Scores are platform-split (Windows vs Android boards / filters).
| Platform | Display name | Identity metadata |
|---|---|---|
| Android | Short 3-letter codename (letters/digits you choose; not a verified real-world identity) | Google Play Games player ID when signed in (used for contest identity and score ownership) |
| Windows / desktop | 7-letter name (letters/digits) | A local Windows player id stored on device, used with Dreamlo so name updates can belong to the same machine |
- Scores and run metadata needed for the board may be transmitted over the network. Dreamlo’s free tier may use cleartext HTTP; AdMob, Play, and other Google services use HTTPS.
- Dreamlo is an independent service; their handling of data is separate from the App.
Local progress, cloud sync, and wipe version
- On device: Mission progression, high scores, codename/name, settings, and unlock flags may be stored locally (for example in a save/settings file). Local high scores are namespaced by platform where applicable.
- Cloud sync (when enabled): Progress and related state may sync using:
- 1. Google Play Games Saved Games (preferred) when the Play Games extension is linked and sign-in succeeds; and/or
- 2. A Dreamlo-backed progress slot tied to your Play Games player ID as a fallback.
- Wipe version: The publisher may ship a higher “force wipe” version that clears local progression (and ignores older cloud progress blobs) while generally keeping identity fields such as name / Play ID / Windows id. Uninstall also removes local data subject to OS backup behavior.
Until Play Games Services are linked for a given release, cloud Saved Games may be unavailable; the App still supports local play, ads (when free), IAP hooks, and Dreamlo score features as configured for that build.
Google Play Games (Android)
When Google Play Games Services are enabled in the App:
- You may be prompted to sign in with Play Games.
- The App may obtain a Play Games player ID for online scores, leaderboards, and cloud sync.
- The App may read/write a Saved Games snapshot for mission progression and related progress data.
Play Games is provided by Google; see Google’s privacy policy for how Google processes that data.
Permissions and network
The App requests Internet (and related network-state) access so ads, leaderboards, IAP restore, and cloud sync can work. It does not request microphone, contacts, precise GPS, camera, or media-library storage as part of core gameplay. On Android, the advertising stack may declare the Advertising ID (AD_ID) permission for AdMob.
Children
The App is a general-audience action game. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for the purpose of building profiles. Ad, IAP, leaderboard, and cloud features follow the third-party practices above; configure Play age ratings and ads appropriately for your audience.
Data retention and deletion
- On device: Uninstalling the App removes local saves on that device (subject to OS backup behavior). A publisher wipe version may also clear progression.
- Ads: Retention is controlled by Google AdMob / partners.
- Purchases: Purchase records are retained by Google Play under Google’s policies.
- Leaderboard / Dreamlo progress: Entries may remain on Dreamlo until removed by the publisher or the service.
- Play Saved Games: Retention follows Google Play Games / your Google account settings when that feature is enabled.
To request removal of a leaderboard codename/score (or related Dreamlo progress entry) you believe relates to you, email admin@synovagames.com with enough detail to identify the entry (for example display name/codename, approximate score/date, and platform).
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Data may be processed by:
- Google (AdMob, UMP consent, Advertising ID, Play Games sign-in / Saved Games when enabled, Play Billing / purchase history for the full unlock)
- Dreamlo (optional high-score submissions and optional progress fallback)
as needed to operate ads, purchases, online scores, and cloud progress.
Changes
We may update this policy when features or legal requirements change. The “Effective / last updated” date will change when we do. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy where permitted by law.
