Bouncy - Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 12, 2026 (more detailed game statistics)
This privacy policy explains what information the mobile game Bouncy (the "Game") collects, why, and what choices you have. The Game is published by DummyName Studio ("we", "us"), an individual developer. If you have any question about this policy or your data, write to dummynamestudio@gmail.com.
In short: we do not ask for your name, email address or any account of ours, and we do not sell personal information. The Game uses services of Google to show ads, to understand how the Game is played and to offer Google Play Games achievements, leaderboards and a cloud save of your progress. These services collect some device information, as described below.
1. Information stored on your device
The Game keeps the following on your device. It is never sent to us. If you use Google Play Games, a copy is also kept in your Google account (see "Google Play Games Services" below):
- your settings (sound, music, vibration, language) - these stay on the device (when you change one, the game statistics note the change, see below);
- the high score tables, including the names you type in for them;
- your achievement progress and how many games you have played (used to decide when ads may be shown).
Uninstalling the Game, or clearing its data in your device settings, deletes all of it from the device.
2. Information collected by third-party services
The Game uses the following services provided by Google LLC / Google Ireland Limited. Each of them processes data as described in its own privacy policy, and we can only see this data in aggregated reports.
Google AdMob (advertising)
The Game is free and shows ads: a banner in the main menu and short full-screen video ads before some games. To show ads, measure them and prevent fraud, AdMob may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address, device and app information, and your interactions with ads. Where the law requires your consent (in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), the Game asks for it with Google's consent form before any ad is requested. Everywhere, you can opt out of personalized ads in your device settings (see "Your choices"). Ads are limited to content suitable for general audiences with parental guidance (PG).
Google Analytics for Firebase (game statistics)
To understand how the Game is played and to improve it, we use Google Analytics for Firebase. It collects pseudonymous usage data: which screens are opened; when a game starts and ends; the levels reached, how far into a level you got and what ended it, scores, coins, playing time and items and secrets picked up; achievements unlocked; ads shown; when the Game asked for a rating and your answer to its own rating window; when the Game told you about a new version and whether you updated; signing in to Google Play Games; changes to the settings; how smoothly the Game runs (its frame rate); the language of the Game. It also collects technical data such as an app instance ID, the advertising ID, the device model, the operating system version, the app version and your approximate location (country or region, derived from your IP address). This data does not include your name, your email address or the names you enter in the high score tables, and we do not use it to identify you.
Google Play Games Services (achievements, leaderboards and cloud save)
If you use Google Play Games, the Game sends the achievements you unlock, your progress toward them and the score of each finished game (for the leaderboards) to Google Play Games, linked to your Play Games profile. It also keeps a saved game there - your achievement progress, your high score tables (with the names you typed), how many games you have played and when the Game last asked for a rating - so your progress comes back when you reinstall the Game or use another device. The saved game is stored in your Google account and only the Game can read it. Google decides how this is shown - for example, who can see your profile name and score on a leaderboard - according to your Play Games settings. The Game does not receive your email address.
Google Play
Google Play may provide us with aggregated statistics and crash and performance reports about the Game. Now and then, after a game, the Game asks Google Play to show its rating card. If you rate the Game there, Google Play publishes your rating and review on the Game's store page under your Google Play profile; the Game itself does not see whether you rated it.

3. Why the data is used
- to show ads, which pay for the free Game, and to measure them (legal basis in the EEA and the UK: your consent where it is required, otherwise our legitimate interest in funding the Game);
- to understand how the Game is played, find problems and improve it (legitimate interest);
- to offer Google Play Games achievements, leaderboards and the cloud save (performance of the service you chose to use).
4. Your choices
- Ad consent: where the consent form applies, you can change your choice at any time with Privacy options in the Game's Settings.
- Advertising ID: you can reset or delete it, and opt out of personalized ads, in your device settings (Settings > Privacy > Ads on most Android devices).
- Play Games: you can manage or delete your Play Games profile in the Google Play Games app.
- Deletion and other requests: the steps are on the page Delete your data. You can uninstall the Game at any time. To ask for access to, or deletion of, data collected about your use of the Game, write to dummynamestudio@gmail.com. As we do not know who you are, we may need information from your device (such as the app instance ID) to find the data.
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EEA and the UK, or the CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to it, and to complain to your data protection authority. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for purposes other than those above.
5. Retention and transfers
Analytics data - the game events and the data linked to your device, such as the app instance ID - is deleted automatically 2 months after it was collected. Data held by Google is kept according to Google's policies. Google processes data on servers in several countries, including the United States, using safeguards recognised by law, such as standard contractual clauses.
6. Children
The Game is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Game, contact us and we will help to delete it.
7. Security
Data sent by the Game to Google's services is transmitted over encrypted connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we only work with services that use industry-standard protection.
8. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new effective date.
