In short: Bubble Shooter is a bubble-popping puzzle game that works offline. It has no accounts and does not ask for any personal details. Your game progress stays on your device. The app shows ads from Google AdMob and uses Google Analytics for Firebase to count how the app is used. Google collects some device and usage information for these services. TechnoBevy does not run a server for the app and sees only aggregated usage reports.
1. Who we are and what this policy covers
This policy describes how the Bubble Shooter app for Android (package
com.technobevy.bubbleshooter) handles information. The app is developed and published by
TechnoBevy ("we", "us").
This policy applies only to Bubble Shooter. Other TechnoBevy apps have their own privacy policies. When you find, download or update the app on Google Play, Google processes information under Google’s privacy policy.
2. Information we do not collect
Bubble Shooter:
- has no accounts, sign-in or user profiles;
- does not ask for your name, email address, phone number or other contact details;
- does not access your location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone, calls or your own files;
- has no chat, messaging or user-generated content;
- does not offer in-app purchases or subscriptions; and
- does not connect to any server operated by TechnoBevy.
3. Information stored only on your device
The app keeps the following in its private storage on your device. It is not sent to us.
| Stored item | Why |
|---|---|
| The highest level you have unlocked | To unlock levels and let you continue where you left off |
| The level you are playing, while the app is in the background | So Android can restore your game if it closes the app while you use other apps |
4. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The app shows banner ads on the level selection and game screens, and full-screen ads between screens. They are provided by Google AdMob. To show ads, measure them and prevent fraud, Google’s ad software in the app collects and shares with Google:
- your device’s IP address, which can indicate your approximate location;
- information about how you interact with the app and with ads;
- diagnostic information about the app’s and the ad software’s performance; and
- device identifiers, such as your device’s advertising ID.
Google may use this information to show ads based on your interests. Google handles it under Google’s privacy policy. See also how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
Your choices:
- You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in your device’s Android settings (usually under Privacy → Ads, or Google → Ads).
- The game works fully offline. Without an internet connection no ads are loaded, and the whole game is still playable.
5. Usage statistics (Google Analytics for Firebase)
The app includes Google Analytics for Firebase, which automatically records basic usage events, such as the first time the app is opened, app sessions, screens viewed and app updates. With these events it collects:
- an app instance ID created by Firebase, and your device’s advertising ID;
- device model, Android version, language and app version; and
- approximate location (country, region or city), derived by Google from your IP address.
We use this only to see, in aggregated reports, how many people play and which Android versions and devices to support. We do not use it to identify you. Google processes this information under the Firebase privacy and security terms and Google’s privacy policy.
6. How information is shared
We do not sell personal information. Information is shared only with Google, as the provider of ads (section 4) and usage statistics (section 5).
The Rate App and More Apps buttons open Google Play. The Privacy Policy button opens this page in your web browser. If you tap an ad, the advertiser’s website or app handles your visit under its own privacy policy.
7. Device permissions
| Permission | What it is used for |
|---|---|
Internet and network state (INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE) | To load ads and send usage statistics, and to check whether you are online before showing ads. |
Google’s ad and analytics software adds a few technical permissions that it needs to work, such as
briefly keeping the device awake (WAKE_LOCK) to send usage statistics. None of the app’s
permissions gives it access to your location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone or files.
8. How long information is kept, and how to delete it
- On your device: your progress is kept until you delete it. You can remove it by clearing the app’s storage in your device settings, or by uninstalling the app. If Android backup is turned on for your Google account, Android may back up your progress and restore it when you reinstall.
- Advertising data: Google keeps ad data under its own retention policies. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings.
- Usage statistics: Google Analytics deletes event data linked to an app instance ID or advertising ID automatically at the end of the retention period set in our Firebase project (Google’s default is 2 months). Aggregated reports do not identify anyone.
The app has no accounts, so there is no account to delete. If you have a question about deletion, contact us (section 13).
9. Children
Bubble Shooter is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
10. Security
Your progress is kept in the app’s private storage, which Android isolates from other apps. Google’s ad and analytics software sends its data to Google over encrypted connections. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we work to protect the information the app handles.
11. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information, or to object to or limit how it is used. Because the app does not send us personal information, most requests are handled on your device (section 8) or with Google for ad and analytics data (sections 4 and 5). For anything else, contact us and we will respond within the time the law requires.
12. Changes to this policy
If the way Bubble Shooter handles information changes, we will update this policy before or at the same time as the change, and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
