Privacy Policy

FOR DISCGOAL, THE OFFLINE FLICK-FOOTBALL GAME

Application ID: com.pitchflick.discgoal
Published by: Needsmet Technologies Ltd, Tonbridge, United Kingdom
In effect from: 19 September 2026

Discgoal collects no personal data. There is no account, no advertising, no analytics, no crash reporting and nothing to buy; the game requests no Android permissions and never opens a network connection. Both players are simply people holding the same phone.

Who is responsible

Discgoal is made and published by Needsmet Technologies Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales, which releases its games under the name AuroraThorn Games. Where data protection law refers to a data controller, that company is it — a role with nothing to administer, because the game gathers nothing.

Two players, no identities

The second player shares the screen rather than a connection, so it is worth saying plainly: neither of you is named, signed in or distinguished by anything except which side of the pitch you are shooting at. The game has no notion of who either of you is, and the moment a match ends that distinction stops existing.

Local means local

Two-player games often means Bluetooth pairing, Wi-Fi Direct or nearby-device discovery, each of which needs permissions and broadcasts something about your handset. Discgoal uses none of them. The opponent is either the computer or the person opposite you, and the phone talks to nothing.

What is kept on the handset

A small file in the game's own private storage, holding preferences and results only:

Nothing in it identifies anybody: no name, email address, contacts, photos, location, advertising identifier or device identifier. The file never leaves the phone and we never see it.

The physics is the same for both sides

Shots are resolved by one set of rules compiled into the game, applied identically to your disc and to the opponent's, whether that opponent is a person or the computer. Nothing is adjusted based on who is winning, and no difficulty is tuned from how you have been playing — partly because that would be dishonest in a two-player game, and partly because nothing about how you play is recorded to tune from.

Deliberately not in the build

No advertising library, so nothing plays between shots or between matches, and no advertising profile is built from how either of you plays. No analytics library and no crash reporter, so no usage events, session logs or crash traces leave the handset. No billing library, so no disc, pitch or advantage is for sale and no payment data exists. No account, no leaderboard, no sharing.

Discgoal requests no Android runtime permissions: not camera, microphone, location, contacts, storage, notifications, Bluetooth or nearby devices.

Network use

None. The whole game is compiled into the download, so it opens no connection to our servers or anyone else's and behaves identically in aeroplane mode. Nothing leaves the handset to be intercepted, and nothing arrives that could change how it behaves after installation.

Google Play

Installing or updating Discgoal is a transaction between you and Google, handled under Google's own privacy policy and its agreement with you. What reaches us is the aggregated, anonymous developer console view — installs, ratings, country totals — which identifies nobody.

If a future version ever touches the network, this page is rewritten before that version is published and the change stated plainly.

Younger players

Flicking a disc at a ball suits any age, and the two-player mode is the point of the game. Since nothing is collected from anyone, nothing is collected from children, and there are no adverts, no chat, no sharing, no links out and nothing to buy.

Your rights, and clearing the app

Under the UK GDPR, and the EU GDPR where it applies to you, you have rights of access, correction, erasure and portability over personal data a company holds about you, and a right to complain to a supervisory authority. Each of those needs data to act on, and none of yours is held here — we will confirm that in writing if it is useful.

Clearing the game's data in Android settings or uninstalling Discgoal removes the settings file. Nothing else exists to remove.

Complaints can go to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk, though writing to us first is usually quicker.

Changes, and how to reach us

This page is updated only when the game changes in a way that affects privacy, and the date near the top changes with it. Builds already installed keep behaving exactly as described.

A shot that behaved oddly, an opponent that plays unfairly, a privacy question: flick@needsmettechnologies.coupons, read by the person who wrote the game, usually answered within a couple of days.

This policy covers the Android application Discgoal (com.pitchflick.discgoal) and no other software.
