PRIVACY POLICY
- Balloon Panic does not ask for your name, email or any account.
- Your best score and settings stay on your device. They are not sent to us.
- The game shows ads from Google AdMob. AdMob may collect device information, including your advertising ID, to show and measure ads.
- Where the law requires it, you are asked for consent before personalised ads, and you can change your choice at any time.
Who we are
Balloon Panic is developed and published by Boban Todosov, an independent developer (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what information the game uses, why, and the choices you have. If you have questions, see Contact.
Information stored on your device
The game saves your best score and your sound setting in the game's own storage on your device. This information is never sent to us or to anyone else. Uninstalling the game deletes it.
Advertising
Balloon Panic is free and is supported by ads served by Google AdMob, a service of Google. Some ads are optional: for example, you can choose to watch an ad to continue a run after a game over.
To show ads, measure their performance and prevent fraud, AdMob may collect and process the following information from your device:
| Information | Used for |
|---|---|
| Advertising ID (Android advertising ID or Apple IDFA, where allowed) | Showing ads, limiting how often you see the same ad, and personalised ads where you consented |
| IP address, which can indicate your approximate location | Choosing ads suitable for your country and language, fraud prevention |
| Device and app information (model, operating system, language, app version) | Showing ads that work on your device |
| Ad interactions (ads shown, taps, completed rewarded ads) | Measuring ads and granting in-game rewards |
| Diagnostic information about the ad service | Keeping ads working and fixing problems |
We do not receive this information in a form that identifies you. Google processes it under its own policies: Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Consent for personalised ads
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the game shows a consent form from Google's User Messaging Platform when you first open it. You can accept or refuse personalised ads. If you refuse, you may still see non-personalised ads, which are based on general information such as the game itself and your approximate location. You can review or change your choice at any time from Privacy settings in the game's menu.
Your choices
- Android: open your phone's Settings, go to Google, then Ads, where you can reset or delete your advertising ID.
- iOS: if the game asks for permission to track, you can decline. You can change this later in Settings, under Privacy & Security, then Tracking.
- Rewarded ads are always optional. You can play without watching them.
- You can stop all data collection by the game by uninstalling it.
In-app purchases
If the game offers purchases, such as removing ads, payments are handled entirely by Google Play or the Apple App Store. We never receive your payment details.
Children
Balloon Panic is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the game, contact us and we will help remove it.
Sharing and selling
We do not sell personal information. Apart from the advertising service described above, the game does not share information with third parties.
Data retention and security
We do not run servers that store player data. Information collected by Google AdMob is kept according to Google's policies. Data saved on your device stays there until you delete the game.
Changes to this policy
If the game changes in a way that affects your privacy, for example by adding online leaderboards, this page will be updated and the effective date above will change.
