Privacy Policy
Monster Pizza arcade games, including the Monster Hockey: Ice Scream! app. Last updated October 27, 2026.
The short version
No accounts and no tracking. The games don't ask for your name, email, location, contacts, photos or anything else about you. The website has no ads. Starting with version 1.1, the Monster Hockey iPhone and iPad app shows an ad now and then, which you can remove with a one-time purchase (see below).
High scores
If you get a high score, you can enter three letters (like "ABC"). Those initials, the score and the time are saved to a shared scoreboard (Google Firebase) so other players can see the top scores. Don't use your real name. Your device also remembers your own scores and settings locally.
Online play (Monster Hockey)
When you host or join an online game, a short room code and the technical details the two devices need to connect are stored briefly on Google Firebase. The two devices then connect directly to each other, which means each device can see the other's internet address, as with any online game. Nothing about you is kept.
Game Center (Monster Hockey app)
Quick Match and Invite Friends use Apple's Game Center. Apple handles your Game Center sign-in, nickname and friends, under Apple's privacy policy. The game only receives your Game Center nickname to show who you're playing, and the game moves sent between the two players during a match. Nothing is stored by us.
Ads (Monster Hockey app, version 1.1 and later)
The app shows a full-screen ad after some finished games, never during play, and never after games with friends you invited. Ads come from Google AdMob and are limited to family-friendly (G-rated) ads. The app asks Google for non-personalized ads and does not ask for permission to track you across other apps. To show and count ads, Google's ad software may collect information such as your device type, a rough location from your internet address, and how ads are shown and tapped, as described in how Google uses information from apps that use its services. Players in Europe and the UK are asked for consent first. The website never shows ads.
Purchases
"No Ads + Zomboni" is a one-time in-app purchase handled entirely by Apple. We never see your payment details; the app only learns from Apple whether the purchase has been made, so it can turn off ads and unlock the Zomboni.
Ratings
After a win, the app may show Apple's own "rate this app" pop-up. Your rating goes to Apple and the App Store, not to us.
Website visits
The Monster Pizza website counts page visits with GoatCounter, which doesn't use cookies or track you across sites. The app doesn't use it.
Kids
The games are made to be family friendly and we don't collect personal information from anyone, including children. Ads in the app are limited to family-friendly content.
