Privacy Policy
Market Match · Effective September 27, 2026
Market Match ("we", "the game") is a house-price guessing game available on the web and in mobile apps. This policy explains what information the game collects, how it's used, and the choices you have.
Information you give us
- Account: if you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address and profile photo from Google. If you create an email account, we store the display name and email address you enter. Passwords are handled by Google Firebase Authentication; we never see or store them.
- Comments: comments you post are public, shown with your display name, profile photo (if any) and your result on that house.
Information created while you play
- Game progress: your guesses and results are saved on your device. If you're signed in, they're also saved to your private score history so they sync across devices.
- Leaderboard: signed-in players with a verified email appear on the public leaderboard with their display name, profile photo, points, houses solved and houses played.
Advertising
The mobile apps show ads from Google AdMob, and the website may show ads from Google AdSense. Google may use cookies or your device's advertising ID to show and measure ads. Where the law requires it (for example in the EU and UK), the app asks for your consent first; without consent only non-personalized ads are shown. You can learn more and control personalized ads at Google's advertising policies and Google Ad Settings, or reset your advertising ID in your device settings.
Other services we use
- Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Hosting) stores accounts, scores, the leaderboard and comments.
- Google Street View supplies house photos. To show them, the app sends each listing's location to Google.
- Real-estate listing data (price, size, location, photos and descriptions of homes for sale) comes from multiple listing service (MLS) feeds through SimplyRETS, and earlier from RentCast. We don't show street addresses.
These providers process data under their own privacy policies, including Google's Privacy Policy. We don't sell your personal information.
How we use information
To run the game: signing you in, saving and syncing your progress, showing the leaderboard and comments, showing ads, and keeping the game secure and free of abuse.
Deleting your data
You can delete your account at any time in the app: My account → Delete account. This permanently deletes your login, score history, leaderboard entry and comments, and clears progress saved on that device. Progress saved only on a device without an account can be removed by clearing the app's data or uninstalling it. You can also ask us to delete your data by email (below).
Children
Market Match is not directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll delete it.
Security
Data is stored with Google Firebase, encrypted in transit, and protected by access rules that let only you change your own account data.
Changes
We may update this policy; the effective date above shows the latest version.
