Mane Studio 3D support

No. Every feature of the game works without an account. A Zylos account is optional and only adds a cloud backup, so you can restore your data on a new phone.

• After the first-run tour, or later in Settings → Account, choose Continue with Google or Play as guest. A guest account can be linked to Google later (Settings → Account → Link Google account) and keeps its backup.
• One Zylos account works across all Zylos 3D games; each keeps its own backup.

While you are signed in, the game backs up: your save file: settings, progress (coins, unlocks, streak, finished count), studio progress (level, best scores, chosen client and cape) and first-run flags.

• Never backed up: ad timing; scheduled tips.
• Backups run automatically when something changed (at most every 10 minutes while the game is open, and when it goes to the background). Settings → Account → Back up now saves one immediately.
• To restore, install the game on the new phone and sign in with the same account in Settings → Account; the game offers to restore the saved data. A guest account can only be restored on the phone that created it, so link it to Google first if you plan to switch phones.

Open unity.zylostechsolutions.com/delete-account (the game's Settings links to it as “Delete account and data”), sign in with the same Google account and confirm. This removes your sign-in, your profile and every Zylos backup at once.

• A guest account has no Google sign-in: link it to Google first (Settings → Account → Link Google account) and then delete it on that page, or email us.
• Data stored only on your phone is removed when you uninstall the game (or use Android Settings → Apps → Mane Studio 3D → Storage → Clear storage).
• Signing out is not deleting: your backup stays for the next time you sign in.

Occasional announcements (new features, tips) are sent to everyone with the game — never targeted at you personally. On Android 13 and later the game asks for notification permission once, from your third launch, and not again if you say no.

• Quick actions: a silent notification with shortcuts into the game. Turn it on or off in the game's Settings → Quick actions in notifications.
• Tips and reminders: occasional local tips about features you haven't tried. Turn them off in Settings → Tips and reminders.
• To stop all notifications, turn them off for Mane Studio 3D in your phone's Settings → Apps → Notifications.

The game is free, and ads from Google AdMob pay for it. Banners appear at the bottom of menus, never on the styling screen. A full-screen ad may appear only when you leave the result screen of a finished client (at most once per two finished clients, at least 2 minutes apart, none in your first 2 minutes, at most 4 per session). An app-open ad may appear on a cold start, never on the first launch and at most once per 4 hours. Rewarded ads play only when you tap a “Watch ad” button (double coins, double daily bonus, shop unlocks). The feature tour may include one page labelled “Sponsored”.

• Ads are limited to content suitable for a general audience (maximum ad content rating “PG”).

Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, and some US states), Google's consent form appears before any ad loads.

• To change your choice later: Settings → Privacy options (shown where Google says privacy options are required).
• You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's Settings → Privacy → Ads, and manage Google ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com.

Notifications (Android 13+, optional) — Occasional announcements from us, tips about features you haven't tried yet, and the optional quick-actions notification. Asked once, never before your third launch; the game works the same without it. Tips and quick actions can be turned off in Settings → Notifications.

• Run at startup — Re-arms scheduled tips and the quick-actions notification after the phone restarts or the game is updated.
• Vibration — Haptic feedback on taps. Can be turned off in the game's Settings.
• Network access — Loads ads from Google AdMob, the game's remote settings and, if you sign in, your backup.
• Advertising ID / Android ad services — added by Google's ads SDK; controlled by your consent and your phone's ad settings.
• You can change any permission in your phone's settings; the game keeps working without the optional ones. The full list, with technical names, is in the privacy policy.

Your progress and settings are stored on your device. The game works offline except for ads, sign-in and backup.

• No camera, microphone, photo, contacts or location access, and no chat or contact with other players.
• Ads from Google AdMob, with Google's consent form where required. Rewarded ads play only when you tap “Watch ad”.
• No analytics or crash-reporting SDK.
• Uninstalling the game deletes everything it stored on the phone.
