BrickSwarm is a brick-breaker game for iPhone, iPad and Android published by BamaApps LLC ("we"). It is available worldwide, and this policy applies wherever you play.
BrickSwarm has no accounts of its own and never asks for your name, email or contacts. It sends anonymous play statistics to our analytics provider so we can see where the game is too hard or too easy; you can switch them off, as described below. Signing in to Game Center or Google Play Games is optional, as described below. You can play offline. The game contacts the app store when you open the Coins tab in the shop or make a purchase, and it contacts Google to load ads, as described below. To learn about seasonal events and sales, the game downloads a public calendar file from our website, bamaappsllc.com, which is hosted by GitHub; the request carries nothing about you, though, as with any website, the host sees your device's IP address.
BrickSwarm shows ads supplied by Google AdMob: optional ads you can choose to watch for a bonus (doubled coins, one more ball, or free coins), and an occasional full-screen ad between levels after you clear one. To deliver and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google's ad software inside the game receives information from your device, such as its IP address (which shows a general location), device and advertising identifiers, and how you interact with ads. This information goes to Google, not to us. We see only totals, such as how many ads were shown and what they earned.
Google explains its use of this information in its privacy policy and in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. On iPhone and iPad the game asks once for permission to let ads use your device's advertising identifier, which Apple calls tracking. Saying yes makes ads more relevant to you. If you say no, you still see ads, they are not based on that identifier, and the game plays the same. You can change your answer at any time in the Settings app under Privacy & Security, Tracking. On Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings. Ads are limited to content rated G or PG.
Buying Remove Ads or the Founder's Pack switches off the full-screen ads, and the bonuses then need no ad.
To learn which levels players finish, where they stop and whether they come back, the game sends play statistics to GameAnalytics ApS (Copenhagen, Denmark), which processes them for us as a service provider. What is sent: a random install ID that the game makes up the first time it runs (it is not your advertising identifier and is not tied to your name or any account); when a play session starts and how long it lasts; which levels and Swarm Run stages you start, finish or leave; the first steps of your first session (for example, the first level cleared); ads you choose to watch or that are shown between levels; store purchases by product, without any payment details; items bought with coins; and whether you switch the daily reminder on or off. The game also sends whether your device runs iOS or Android, the system version and the version of the game. GameAnalytics uses your connection's IP address to work out your country. GameAnalytics handles this data under its own privacy notice.
Play statistics are never used for advertising, never combined with your advertising identifier, and never sold. Nothing is sent before you have answered the consent and tracking questions at first launch. You can switch them off at any time with Play stats in the game's Settings, and nothing more is sent after that. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and other places where Google's consent message appears, play statistics start switched off and are only sent if you switch them on.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the game shows Google's consent message the first time it loads ads. You can agree to personalized ads, decline them, or choose which purposes you allow; the game plays the same whatever you pick. Declining means you see ads that are not based on your interests. You can change your answer at any time in the game's Settings under Ad privacy choices. Where the law requires it, Google asks for your consent again from time to time.
The legal bases for this processing are your consent (personalized ads and the advertising identifier) and Google's and our legitimate interest in showing and measuring ads, preventing fraud and keeping the game free (basic, non-personalized ads). Play statistics rely on your consent where they start switched off, and elsewhere on our legitimate interest in understanding how the game is played so we can improve it.
Google processes advertising information on servers in the United States and elsewhere, under its own safeguards for international transfers. GameAnalytics processes play statistics under its own safeguards for international transfers, described in its privacy notice. We, BamaApps LLC, are in the United States. We hold no information that identifies you: from Google and the app stores we receive aggregated reporting that does not identify anyone, and in GameAnalytics we see play statistics tied only to the random install ID, which we cannot connect to you.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export personal information, to object to or restrict its processing, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your data protection authority. Because the game keeps your progress on your device and in your own iCloud or Google account, and we hold no information that identifies you, the way to exercise most of these rights is on your device: change your ad choices or switch off Play stats in the game's Settings, reset your advertising identifier or tracking permission in your phone's settings, or delete the app, which deletes everything it saved, including the random install ID. For anything else, write to hello@bamaappsllc.com and we will answer within 30 days. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined in US state privacy laws; the ad choices above are also how residents of California and other US states can opt out of targeted advertising.
On iPhone and iPad the game offers Apple's Game Center sign-in once, after the tracking question at first launch; on Android it offers Google Play Games. Both are optional and the game plays the same without them. If you are signed in, your scores (total stars, best Swarm Run, Daily Swarm and weekly run) and achievements are sent to Apple or Google under your Game Center or Play Games profile, so they can appear on leaderboards that other players see according to your Game Center or Play Games settings. Apple and Google handle this under their own privacy policies; we do not receive your profile or player identifier. You can sign out at any time in your phone's settings (Game Center) or the Play Games app.
After you clear a level, the game asks once whether you would like a daily reminder, using your phone's own notification permission. If you allow notifications for BrickSwarm (then or later in your phone's settings), the reminder is on and the game schedules it on your own device; nothing about it is sent to us or to anyone else. You can switch it off at any time with Daily reminder in the game's Settings, or turn off notifications for BrickSwarm in your phone's settings.
The game sells optional in-app purchases, such as coin packs, a Coin Booster and the Founder's Pack. Payment is handled entirely by Apple's App Store or Google Play under their own privacy policies. We never see your card or payment details. The stores send us sales reports that do not identify you. A list of purchases already delivered is kept on your device so the same purchase is not delivered twice.
Your progress (stars, coins, unlocked items and settings) is saved on your device. On iPhone and iPad, if you are signed in to iCloud, the game also keeps a copy in iCloud key-value storage in your own iCloud account so your progress follows you to a new device; on Android, Android's backup and, if you are signed in, Google Play Games saved games do the same. These copies are held by Apple or Google in your account, not by us, and we cannot see them. Deleting the app deletes the copy on the device; you can remove the iCloud copy in your phone's iCloud settings and the Google copy in your Google account.
Apple and Google may collect crash reports and, if you choose to send it, feedback or reviews, under their own privacy policies. We see those crash reports and that feedback so we can fix problems; they are not tied to a name unless you include one.
BrickSwarm is made for a general audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and ads are limited to content rated G or PG. If you believe a child has given us personal information, write to us and we will delete it.
If a later version changes how data is handled, we will update this policy before that version is released.
