Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to BubbleSnap ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your information when you use our app and use our related services (collectively, the "App").

Our core privacy principle is Data Minimization: We only collect the absolute minimum amount of information necessary to operate the App, save your game progress, and provide a seamless gaming experience. We do not and will not collect redundant, invasive, or unnecessary personal data.

2. Information We Collect

To provide you with the best gaming experience without overstepping your privacy, we strictly limit the data we collect to the following categories:

• Information Collected Automatically:

• Device Information: Non-personally identifiable device specifics, such as device model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers (e.g., AAID for Android) strictly for basic analytics.

• Gameplay Data: Your in-game progress, scores, achievements, and session duration. This is necessary to save your game state and improve game balance.

• Information You Provide Voluntarily:

• Customer Support: If you contact us for help, we collect your email address and the contents of your message solely to resolve your issue.

• What We DO NOT Collect:

• We do not collect your precise geolocation (GPS).

• We do not access your contacts, camera, or microphone.

• We do not collect biometric data or sensitive personal information.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the strictly necessary information we collect for the following operational purposes:

• To operate, maintain, and provide the features of the App.

• To save your game progress.

• To provide technical support and respond to user inquiries.

• To analyze bugs, crashes, and app performance to improve future updates.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We only share your information under the following limited circumstances:

• Third-Party Service Providers: We may share anonymized or aggregated data with trusted service providers to help us operate the App. These partners are strictly bound by confidentiality agreements and privacy laws.

• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, regulation, or legitimate legal processes (e.g., a court order), or to protect the rights, property, or safety of BubbleSnap, our users, or the public.

5. Data Retention and Security

• Data Retention: We retain your data only for as long as you have the App installed or as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. If you delete the App or request account deletion, your gameplay data and associated identifiers will be permanently deleted or anonymized.

• Security: We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your region (such as the GDPR in Europe or CCPA in California), you have significant rights regarding your data:

• Right to Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

• Right to Deletion (Right to be Forgotten): You can request that we delete your personal information.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

7. Children's Privacy

We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar global regulations. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain European jurisdictions) without verified parental consent. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will take immediate steps to delete it from our servers.

8. Cross-Border Data Transfers

As a globally accessible App, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than your own. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction. By using our App, you consent to the transfer of your data to these secure servers. We ensure that any such international transfers are protected by standard contractual clauses or other legally acceptable safeguards.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. We will notify you of any significant changes through an in-app notification. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
