Privacy Policy
Last updated
The short version. We don’t ask for your name, your email or an account. Our games keep your settings on your device. Some information - such as your device’s advertising identifier, basic device and app information and your IP address - is collected by the third-party services our games use, mostly Google, so that ads can be shown, usage measured, purchases processed and leaderboards kept.
This Privacy Policy covers the games and apps made by Planetz Mini Games for Android and iOS, including Planetz: Bubble Shooter, the browser versions of our games and this website (together, the “Service”). It explains what information is collected when you use the Service, how it is used and what choices you have. Planetz Mini Games is called “we” below.
For the purposes of the GDPR, Planetz Mini Games is the data controller. You can reach us about anything in this policy at .
Information we collect
We don’t ask you to register or to give us your name or email address. Game settings are stored on your device, and we have no access to them.
Our games use third-party services that collect some information automatically: your device’s advertising identifier, device model, operating system and app version, approximate location derived from your IP address, and how you interact with the game and its ads. This information is used to show ads, understand how our games are played, fix problems, process purchases and keep leaderboards.
To understand how our games are played and what to improve, we use Google Firebase Analytics. It works with a pseudonymous identifier and does not tell us who you are.
When something goes wrong in a game, the services we use may collect diagnostic data such as the device model, operating system version, the state of the app and the time of the error. We use it only to find and fix problems.
This website does not use cookies. Third-party services in our apps may use device identifiers or similar technologies; how they do so is described in their own privacy policies.
Advertising
Our games show advertising provided by Google and its advertising partners. To show ads, they may collect and use your device’s advertising identifier and information about your device and how you interact with ads. We don’t receive or store this information ourselves.
Some games offer ads that you can choose to watch in exchange for an in-game reward. They are optional, and declining them never limits your ability to play.
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland we ask for your consent before showing personalised ads. You can change your choice at any time from the privacy option on the game’s start screen. If you decline, you will still see ads, but they won’t be personalised. You can also reset or limit your advertising identifier in your device settings.
In-app purchases
Some of our games offer optional purchases. Payments are processed by Google Play or the Apple App Store. We never receive, see or store your payment details.
The store tells us only whether a purchase exists for your account, so that we can enable what you paid for. Because the store keeps this record, your purchase stays with your store account - after a reinstall or on a new device.
Leaderboards
Our games may use Google Play Games Services on Android or Apple Game Center on iOS to keep leaderboards. When a game ends, your score is sent to that service and shown under your player profile there. Who can see that profile is controlled by your settings in Google Play Games or Game Center, not by us.
This website
This website does not use cookies and shows no consent banner. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs, including IP addresses, for a short time, and counts visits without cookies.
If you rate the browser game, we store a one-way hash so that each visitor counts once. Your IP address itself is never stored. The browser version of the game contains no analytics.
Service providers
We work with third-party companies to provide and improve the Service: to host it, show ads, measure how it is used, process purchases and keep leaderboards. They may have access to information about you to perform these tasks, and each of them handles it under its own privacy policy:
- Google AdMob
- Google Firebase Analytics
- Google Play Games Services
- Apple Game Center
- Google Play Billing
- Apple In-App Purchase
- Cloudflare
Legal basis
Where the GDPR applies, we process information to provide the Service you asked for (running the game, purchases and leaderboards), on the basis of our legitimate interests (measuring usage, fixing errors and showing non-personalised ads), and with your consent (personalised ads).
Storage and transfers
The services we use operate worldwide, so your information may be processed outside your country, including in the United States, under the safeguards those companies provide. We keep information only as long as it is needed for the purposes above, and in any case no longer than 3 years after you last used the Service. Third-party services keep it under their own retention policies.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, to restrict or object to its processing, to withdraw your consent at any time, and to complain to your local data protection authority.
We don’t hold accounts or identifiers that would let us find “your” data, so many requests are best handled by Google or Apple, who can identify you. Write to us anyway - we will tell you where to go and help where we can.
We do not sell your personal information. If you are in California, sharing your advertising identifier for personalised ads may count as “sharing” under the CCPA; you can opt out by turning off personalised ads in the game or resetting your advertising identifier.
Security
We value your trust and use commercially reasonable means to protect information. But no method of transmission over the internet or of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Links to other sites
The Service may contain links to other sites. If you follow a third-party link, you will be taken to a site that is not operated by Planetz Mini Games. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites or services.
Children’s privacy
Our Service is not directed at children under 13, or under 16 in the European Economic Area, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we learn that a child has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete it. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has done so, please write to .
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, so please review this page periodically. We will post any changes here, and they take effect as soon as they are posted. The date at the top always shows the current version.
