Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Bubble Shooter Battle (the "Game": the Android and iOS apps and the web version at bubble.gamefathers.games) collects, why, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. The Game is published by Gamefathers ("we", "us"). Contact: support@gamefathers.games.
1. Information we collect
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Account details: your email address and, if you sign in with Google, your Google account name and ID. Passwords are handled by Google Firebase and never seen by us. | To create your account, sign you in and show your name on the leaderboard. |
| Game data: best score, biggest combo, games played, bubbles popped, wins and losses, story stars, and a history of finished games (mode, score, result). | To save your progress across devices and run the leaderboard. |
| Multiplayer data: the player name you choose, live scores and attacks during a match, and your IP address. | To match you with opponents, run matches and protect the service from abuse. IP addresses are only held in memory while you are connected and in short-lived server logs. |
| Advertising data (Android and iOS apps only): your device's advertising ID, device and app information, approximate location derived from your IP address, and ad interactions, collected by Google AdMob. | To show ads after games, measure them and prevent ad fraud. Personalized ads are only shown where you have consented (see section 4). |
| Purchase data: whether you have an active ad-free subscription and which power-up upgrades you bought, linked to an anonymous app user ID. | To remove ads for subscribers and unlock the upgrades you paid for. Payments are processed by Google Play or the Apple App Store; we never receive your card or bank details. |
| Data on your device: settings (theme, sound), your player name and progress made before signing in. | So the Game remembers your settings and progress. |
We do not collect your contacts, photos, files, precise location, microphone or camera. We do not sell or rent personal information.
2. Who we share data with
- Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore) stores your account and game data. Firebase privacy information
- Google AdMob shows and measures ads in the mobile apps. How Google uses information from apps that use its services
- RevenueCat keeps track of ad-free subscriptions. RevenueCat privacy policy
- Google Play and the Apple App Store process subscription payments under their own privacy policies.
- Our hosting provider runs the web version and the multiplayer server.
Other players can see the name you choose, your score during a match and your leaderboard entry (name, best score, biggest combo). We may disclose information if the law requires it or to protect the safety of players and the service.
3. How long we keep data
Account and game data are kept until you delete your account. Multiplayer data only exists for the duration of a match, and server logs are deleted within 30 days. Advertising data is kept by Google under its own policies.
4. Your choices and rights
- Delete your account at any time in the Game: Profile → Delete account. This permanently removes your account, game history, progress and leaderboard entry. You can also request deletion here.
- Ads: players in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalized ads are shown. On Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID in Settings → Google → Ads; on iPhone, apps must ask before tracking you.
- Remove ads entirely with the ad-free subscription.
- Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or California law), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your data and to object to or restrict its use. Email support@gamefathers.games and we will reply within 30 days. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
For players in the EEA and UK, our legal bases are: performing our agreement with you (account, progress, multiplayer, subscription), our legitimate interests (security, abuse prevention, non-personalized ads) and your consent (personalized ads).
5. Children
The Game is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
6. Security and international transfers
All data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS and secure WebSockets). Security rules make sure only you can read your private statistics. Our providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States, under appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the current version, and important changes will be announced in the Game.
