Bounce Master (“the app”) is published by Nu Pure Billion Technologies LLP, India (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what the app collects, why, who else receives it, how long it is kept, and how to delete it. It describes what the software actually does rather than reserving rights we do not use.

The short version

You never need an account. The app does not ask for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos or precise location.
It creates a random installation ID on your device so leaderboards, shared challenges and matches work. Other players see an automatically generated nickname, never that ID.
Signing in with Google is optional. If you do, we store Google’s account identifier only, not your email address or name.
Ads (Google AdMob), purchases (Google Play) and app analytics (Google Firebase Analytics) are provided by Google, which collects its own data under its own policies.
We do not sell data, and we do not build advertising profiles ourselves.

What we collect, and why

Installation ID: a random identifier generated on your device the first time you play. It is not your advertising ID, a hardware ID or a Google identifier.
Why: so your scores, challenges and matches stay attached to the same player. Kept: on your device and our server.
Gameplay results: scores, stars, rungs reached, throws used, Daily Climb steps, and how many Daily Climb runs you started each day.
Why: leaderboards, match standings, and the three-runs-a-day limit. Kept: on our server.
Challenges and matches you create: the table seed, target, match settings (such as wind and table patches), the equipment used, a compact record of your throws for replays, and the player limit of a party match.
Why: so the people you share a code with can play the same match and compare. Kept: on our server.
Nickname and equipped items: a generated name such as SwiftFalcon204, and the ball and table you had equipped when you set a score.
Why: shown next to your scores on leaderboards and in matches. Kept: on our server.
Coin history: coins earned and spent in the game, and why (for example, a completed run or an item bought).
Why: so your balance is correct and cannot be counterfeited. Kept: on our server.
Purchases: which product you bought, and the purchase token and order number Google Play issues for it. We never see or store card or payment details.
Why: to check with Google that a purchase is genuine, restore it after a reinstall or on another device, and remove it if it is refunded. Kept: on our server.
Google sign-in (optional): the account identifier Google issues for our app. We do not store your email address, name or profile photo.
Why: so your progress and purchases follow you to a new phone. Kept: on our server.
Connection data: your IP address and the time of each request to our server, in its access logs.
Why: security, abuse prevention and fixing faults. Kept: on our server, for about 30 days.
Settings, local bests, unlocked items and reminders. Reminder notifications are scheduled on your phone.
Why: to make the game work. Kept: on your device only.

What other players can see

Other players can see your nickname, your scores, and the items you had equipped, on leaderboards. Players in a match you joined can also see your progress in that match. Your installation ID, your Google account and your purchases are never shown to anyone.

Third-party services

Google AdMob (advertising). Ads are served by Google AdMob, which may collect your device’s advertising ID, IP address and usage information to serve and measure ads. Where the law requires it, including in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, the app asks for your consent before personalised ads are shown, and you can choose non-personalised ads instead. You can reset or delete your advertising ID at any time in your Android settings.

Google Firebase Analytics (app analytics). The app uses Firebase Analytics to understand how the game is used, for example how many people play each day and which features they use. It collects an app instance identifier, your device model and operating system version, your approximate location derived from your IP address, and events such as opening the app. It does not receive your name, email address or your gameplay nickname.

Google Play Billing (purchases). In-app purchases are optional and are processed entirely by Google Play.

Google Sign-In (optional). If you choose to sign in, Google handles the sign-in and tells us only the account identifier described above.

These services are governed by Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

Where your data is stored

Our server is hosted by DigitalOcean in India. Google’s services may process data in other countries under Google’s own safeguards.

How long we keep it

Leaderboard entries, challenges and matches are kept while the service runs, so a shared code keeps working for whoever received it.
Server access logs, including IP addresses, are kept for about 30 days.
Backups of our database are kept for 14 days, so data you erase can remain in a backup for up to 14 days before it is gone for good.
The coin history is kept as a financial record, including after you erase your data, but it is then no longer connected to you (see below).

Playing offline

The app is fully playable without a connection. If our server cannot be reached, the game keeps working and keeps your progress on your device.

Deleting your data

Everything on your device: uninstall the app, or clear its data in your Android settings.
Everything on our server: use the delete option in the app’s settings. It immediately erases your scores, your match and challenge attempts, your nickname, your Daily Climb run count, your recorded purchases and your Google sign-in link.
What remains, and why: challenges you shared keep working but are no longer connected to you, because the people you sent them to still hold the code. Your coin history is kept as a financial record with nothing left that connects it to you. Copies in backups disappear within 14 days. A purchase you made is still yours at Google Play, and can be restored into the game later.
If you have already uninstalled the app and want the server side erased, email hello@purebillion.tech. Without your installation ID we may not be able to find your records, because that ID lived only on your device. If you had signed in with Google, tell us and we can find your data that way.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has used the app and want their data removed, email hello@purebillion.tech and we will delete it.

Security

All traffic between the app and our server is encrypted (HTTPS). Server data is readable only through controlled functions: no player can read another player’s installation ID, purchases or coin history. Purchases are checked with Google before they count.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, including under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the EU and UK GDPR, you may have the right to access, correct or erase data about you, and to withdraw consent for personalised advertising. The quickest routes are the deletion steps above and your Android ad settings. For anything else, including a grievance, email hello@purebillion.tech and we will reply within 30 days.

Changes to this policy

If the app starts collecting something new, we will update this page and the date at the top before that version is released.
