🏮 Account & data deletion

Language 한국어 · English

App: Horong – Akari Light-up Logic Puzzle (com.leo.horong) · Developer: ShortsStory Studio

In short: Horong has no sign-up. Data is stored on our server only if you joined the Lantern Rankings, and you can delete it from inside the app. Please do that before uninstalling — uninstalling alone leaves the ranking data on the server.

Delete in the app (recommended)

  1. Open Horong.
  2. Tap Settings (⚙) at the top right of the home screen.
  3. Under About, tap “Delete ranking account”.
  4. Confirm with “Delete”. Removal is immediate.

The “Delete ranking account” item appears only if you joined the Lantern Rankings. If you never joined, there is nothing stored on our server.

Request by email

If you already uninstalled the app or cannot use the steps above, email support@viralpulse.net. Please include the profile name and #number shown on the rankings (for example “Warm Horongi #1234”) so we can identify the record. Requests are handled within 30 days.

What is deleted / what is kept

DataHandling
Anonymous account identifier (uid) Deleted — the account itself is removed
Profile (name combination, avatar, region) Deleted
Lantern points, boards finished, league tier Deleted
Your row in the weekly rankings Deleted (last 4 weeks). Older weekly records are automatically removed after at most 90 days
Your entries in the “recent clears” feed Deleted; any remaining entries are automatically removed after at most 90 days
On-device game progress (Journey, daily, settings) Stored only on your device, so it is removed when you uninstall. Deleting the ranking account does not touch it — kept separate on purpose so you don't lose your play history
Anonymous usage statistics and crash reports (Firebase) Non-identifying aggregate data, governed by Google's own retention policies
