Privacy policy

The short version

• The game has no accounts. It never asks for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos or location.
• It asks for your age once, to know which ads may be shown to you. The answer stays on your phone.
• Your progress is saved on your phone and nowhere else.
• The game shows ads from Google AdMob. To do that, Google's ad software in the game collects some information about your device, described below.
• Purchases are handled by Google Play. We never see your payment details.

What stays on your phone

The age you entered, your level, coins, boosters, skins, daily challenge streak and settings are kept in a file in the game's own storage on your phone. We receive no copy of it. Clearing the game's data or uninstalling the game deletes it.

Game settings

When the game starts, it asks our server at apps.satuapps.com which settings to use, such as how often ads may appear and what boosters cost, and whether we have a message for players, such as news about an update. The request names the game, its version and the language the game is shown in, and nothing else: no identifier, no account and nothing from your phone. Like every request on the internet, it comes from your IP address. Our server uses that address only to send the answer and to tell which country the request comes from, so that it can pick the settings for that country, and keeps no record of it. The server runs on Cloudflare, a hosting provider that handles the request on our behalf.

Ads

The game is free because it shows ads, delivered by Google AdMob. The AdMob software inside the game collects and sends to Google:

• your device's advertising ID, an identifier that you can reset or delete in your Android settings;
• your IP address, from which Google estimates a general location such as country or city;
• information about the device and the app, such as phone model, Android version, language and the game's version;
• which ads were shown and whether they were watched or tapped, and diagnostic data such as crashes of the ad software.

Google and its advertising partners use this to choose and deliver ads, to limit how often you see the same ad, to measure how ads perform and to detect fraud. For adults, depending on their choices, ads may be personalised, meaning chosen on the basis of their interests as Google infers them. Google's own explanation is at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services, and its policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

Which ads the game asks for depends on the age you entered. For players under 18 the game asks Google to apply its protections for children: their ads are not personalised, and the game never asks them to consent to personalised ads. For adults the game asks for ads suitable for teenagers and older. Full-screen ads appear only between rounds or when you choose to watch one for a reward.

Your choices

• In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland the game asks adults for their consent before any ad is loaded. You can change your answer at any time under Settings, then Privacy choices, inside the game.
• Everywhere you can reset or delete your advertising ID, and turn off ad personalisation, in your phone's settings under Google, then Ads, or under Privacy, then Ads.
• Buying "Remove ads" in the game's shop removes the banner and the ads between rounds. Ads you start yourself to earn a reward stay available.

Purchases

When you buy something in the game, the purchase is made with Google Play under Google's terms. Google tells the game that the purchase succeeded so that it can hand over what you bought. We do not receive your name, your card number or any other payment detail.

Children

The game is meant for players aged 13 and older. Because younger players may find it all the same, the game asks every player for their age when it is first opened, in the same words for everybody. The age is stored on the phone and is not sent to us or to anybody else. What the game passes on to Google with its requests for ads is only the instruction to treat the player as a child.

Players under 18 are shown ads under Google's protections for children, limited to ads rated for a general audience for players under 13 and to ads rated for parental guidance for players from 13 to 17. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given personal information through the game, write to us and we will help to have it removed.

Where the information goes and how long it is kept

We keep no personal information ourselves. The information described under "Ads" is processed by Google on servers that may be in countries other than yours, and kept for as long as Google's policies say. Where European data protection law applies, the game relies on your consent for storing and reading the advertising ID and for personalised ads.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to see, correct or delete personal information held about you, and to object to its use. As we hold none, such requests about advertising data are answered by Google, through the links above. You are welcome to write to us with any question about this policy and we will help where we can.

Changes

When the game changes in a way that affects this policy, the policy is updated on this page and the date at the top changes.
