Welcome to FlingBubbles ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile game FlingBubbles (the "Game").

FlingBubbles is a casual game designed for users aged 16 and above. We believe in minimal data collection and maximum transparency.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Crash and Diagnostic Data

FlingBubbles uses Firebase Crashlytics, a crash reporting service provided by Google LLC, to collect crash reports and diagnostic information when the Game experiences technical issues. This helps us identify and fix bugs to improve your gaming experience.

The crash data collected may include:

  • Device type and model
  • Operating system version
  • Time and date of the crash
  • App version
  • Stack traces and crash logs
  • Device state information at the time of the crash

This data is collected automatically and anonymously. We cannot identify individual users from this information.

We want to be clear about what we do not collect:

  • ❌ Personal identifiable information (name, email, phone number)
  • ❌ Location data
  • ❌ User account information (the Game does not require login)
  • ❌ Contact lists or photos
  • ❌ Payment information
  • ❌ Usage patterns or gameplay statistics
  • ❌ Advertising identifiers
  • ❌ Any other personal data

3. How We Use Your Information

We use crash data solely for the following purposes:

  • To identify and diagnose technical problems
  • To improve the stability and performance of the Game
  • To fix bugs and prevent future crashes
  • To enhance user experience

We do not use any collected data for:

  • Marketing or advertising
  • Selling to third parties

Crash data is processed by Google Firebase Crashlytics. Google acts as a data processor on our behalf and is contractually obligated to protect this data. For more information about how Google handles data, please review:

4.2 No Other Third-Party Sharing

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade any information with other third parties for their commercial purposes.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the crash data collected through Firebase Crashlytics:

  • Data is transmitted using secure, encrypted connections
  • Google Firebase maintains industry-standard security practices
  • Crash data is retained only as long as necessary to diagnose and fix issues

However, please note that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.

6. Data Retention

Crash data collected through Firebase Crashlytics is retained in accordance with Firebase's data retention policies, typically for 90 days. After this period, the data is automatically deleted.

7. Children's Privacy

FlingBubbles is designed for users aged 16 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 16. The minimal crash data we collect through Firebase Crashlytics is anonymous and cannot be used to identify individual users of any age.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child under 16 has used the Game, please contact us, and we will take appropriate action if necessary.

8. Your Rights

8.1 Access and Control

8.2 Opt-Out

If you prefer not to have crash data collected, you may:

  • Uninstall the Game from your device
