Delete your data

RicoShot (com.brugn.ricoshot) — last updated 19 August 2026

Your data can be in three places: this phone, your Google Play Games saved game, and — only if you have played a ranked match — the game's own server at api.ricoshot.app. One button inside the game covers all three.

The quick path

Open RicoShot.
Tap SET, top-right of the level selector.
Scroll to the bottom and tap DELETE MY DATA.
Tap CONFIRM DELETE when it asks a second time.

That single action deletes:

Everything stored on the phone. Not a list of things — the whole preference store is cleared, so progress, coins, cosmetics, survival and speedrun records, duel history, ranked tokens and your account credentials all go, including anything a future version adds.
The local diagnostic file (telemetry.jsonl). It is anonymous and was never transmitted; it is deleted anyway.
Your Play Games saved game, if you were ever signed in.
Your account on api.ricoshot.app, if you ever entered ranked: the account, every session, and every ranked match it was part of.

Two things stay on purpose, because neither is a record of you: the language you chose and the haptics toggle. Erasing them would answer "delete my data" by also changing the app's language under your finger.

Afterwards the game returns to the level selector with everything erased, exactly as if you had just installed it.

If you had no network at that moment. The phone is wiped either way — you asked, and refusing would leave you with none of it done. But the two copies that are not on the phone need a connection, and if one could not be reached the game says so: "Local data deleted, cloud unavailable."

Your server account is not stranded by that. It is identified by your Play Games player, not by the credentials just erased, so signing in again lands on the same account. Open the game, enter the Arena, then use DELETE MY DATA again. Or email me.

What is deleted, and from where

Data	Where it was
Level completion	This phone + Play Games snapshot
Coins, ad-unlocked batches, local purchase flag	This phone + Play Games snapshot
Owned cosmetics	This phone + Play Games snapshot
Reached level, tutorial flags, worn cosmetics, ranked tokens	This phone
Survival and speedrun records, saved runs	This phone
Duel history and pending duel codes	This phone
Ranked session token and friend code	This phone
Anonymous diagnostic file	This phone — never transmitted
Your ranked account: friend code, display name, Play Games player id, rating	`api.ricoshot.app`
Your ranked sessions	`api.ricoshot.app`
Every ranked match you played, including the recorded shots	`api.ricoshot.app`

What your ranked opponents keep

A match has two sides, and deleting your account deletes the match — so it disappears from your opponents' history lists too.

Their rating does not change. Those games were really played, the points moved at the time, and every rating on the ladder has moved since; undoing them would punish the player who stayed for the departure of the player who left. A rating is a number attached to their account, not information about you.

Held by Google — I cannot delete these for you

Data	How to delete it
Your purchase of "unlock all levels", if any	Ask Google Play for a refund, or do nothing — the receipt records that the item was bought, not anything about you. It is what "restore purchases" reads, so deleting your data does not cost you the purchase.
Your Google account, Play Games profile, advertising profile	myaccount.google.com
Your device advertising ID, if you watched rewarded ads	Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Reset advertising ID, or switch on Delete advertising ID to stop apps receiving one at all.

Other paths

Uninstall the app

Uninstalling removes everything stored on the phone. The Play Games snapshot and — if you played ranked — the server account both survive it, and need one of the paths below.

Delete your Play Games saved game

Open the Google Play Games app, then More → Settings → Delete Play Games account & data, and choose RicoShot specifically or all of your Play Games data. This is Google's own facility; I have no access to your Play Games account beyond that one snapshot.

Email

Write to brugnarc@gmail.com, subject "Delete my RicoShot data". Include your friend code (the RICO-XXXX-XX shown in the Arena) if you have it — it is what lets me find the right row without asking you for anything more identifying. I reply within 30 days.

What the server holds, and for how long

Only if you have played a ranked match. No analytics, no advertising code, no third party.


Account	Your Play Games player id, the display name Google publishes for you, a generated friend code, a rating, and two cosmetic identifiers. Kept until you delete it.
Matches	Seed, depths, verdict, and the recorded shots of each run — kept so a claimed score can be re-simulated and verified. Deleted with your account.
HTTP access logs	None. The web server in front of the game is not configured to log requests, so no list of addresses and paths exists.
Application journal	Lines like `account 12 opens match 40` — numeric account numbers only, never a name, a friend code or an address. Rotates on size, roughly a week. These lines cannot be tied back to you once the account is gone.
Backups	The machine is imaged daily by the hosting provider on a seven-day rolling window. Deleted data survives inside those images for at most seven days, and they are only ever restored wholesale after a failure.

Rate limiting keeps recent request counts per address in memory only. They are never written to disk and disappear when the process restarts.
