# BALL 8RBIT Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 11, 2026
Last updated: October 8, 2026
Firewall Studio operates BALL 8RBIT. This policy describes the information processed by the game and its integrated Google services. It applies to the Android version, including version 1.0.5.
## 1. Local game data
The game does not require a separate Firewall Studio account. We do not ask for your name, address, telephone number, date of birth, contacts, photographs, or precise location.
The game stores progress, currency balances, unlocked skins, skill levels and fragments, purchase entitlements and transaction references, settings, language, and notification preferences on your device. These records operate the game, avoid duplicate purchase delivery, and preserve progress.
## 2. Google Play Games cloud saves
When your Google Play Games profile is signed in and the service is available, the game synchronizes saved-game data with Google Play Games Saved Games. A save can include progress, virtual items, settings, and purchase-entitlement records. Google processes the profile/player identifier and service information needed to authenticate, store, and restore those saves under its own policies.
Firewall Studio does not operate a separate cloud-save server. Synchronization may not complete while offline. Clearing app storage or uninstalling removes local data but does not necessarily remove a Google cloud save. Google Play Games settings provide controls for game/profile data and deletion; their availability depends on your account and Google’s current service options. Contact us if you need assistance identifying the relevant game data.
## 3. Optional advertising
The game uses Google AdMob for optional rewarded advertisements. Ads appear after you choose an advertising action; there are no automatically triggered interstitial, banner, or app-open advertisements in this version. Closing an ad does not prevent normal access to the game. An advertised in-game reward is delivered only when the provider confirms that its completion requirement was met.
Our audience includes children. We do not collect ages, so all AdMob requests receive child-directed treatment and a maximum G content rating. Personalized advertising is disabled, and the Android build does not request permission to access the Android advertising ID. This does not mean that the advertising service processes no information.
Google may process IP addresses (including approximate location inferred from them), app interactions such as video views and taps, and diagnostic information to deliver and measure ads, prevent fraud, maintain security, and operate its services. Google processes information under [Google’s Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy) and [its explanation of partner-site and app data use](https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites).
## 4. Advertising privacy choices
The game uses Google’s User Messaging Platform with its under-age setting. It does not request adult personalized-ad consent from users treated as under age. Ads are not requested until the SDK reports that requesting ads is permitted. Advertising privacy options appear in Settings when Google reports that those options are required and available. The game remains playable when ads are unavailable.
## 5. Children and parents
BALL 8RBIT can be used by children as well as older players. We do not provide player-to-player chat or ask children to supply personal details. The advertising protections described above are applied to everyone, including users whose age is unknown. Parents and guardians can manage device notification permissions, Google account settings, and purchase approval controls.
If you believe a child has provided personal information directly to Firewall Studio, please contact us. We will review the request and take appropriate action. Requests involving information held by Google may also need to be made through Google’s account or service controls.
## 6. Local reminders
With notification permission, the game may schedule a daily reminder locally on your device. It does not use a Firewall Studio remote push server or send a push token to us for these reminders. Disable reminders in the game or revoke notification permission in Android settings.
## 7. In-app purchases
Google Play processes payments. Firewall Studio does not receive your complete payment-card information. The game receives product identifiers, purchase status, transaction references, and entitlement information needed to deliver, acknowledge, consume, or restore purchases. Purchase-entitlement records may be included in cloud saves. Google’s payment and refund processes are governed by Google’s policies and applicable consumer rights.
## 8. Sharing and purposes
Firewall Studio does not sell personal information for money or use this version of the game for personalized advertising. Information is processed by the integrated Google services for synchronization, purchase delivery, advertising delivery and measurement, security, and fraud prevention. If you contact support, we process the information you provide to answer your request. We may disclose information when legally required or necessary to protect users and our services.
Processing is performed to provide requested features, maintain security and reliable operation, comply with legal obligations, or obtain consent where applicable. The applicable legal basis can depend on the service, information, and jurisdiction.
## 9. Retention, security, and rights
Local data remains until app storage is cleared, the game is uninstalled, or it is otherwise deleted on the device. Google retains cloud-save, service, advertising, and purchase information according to its policies and account controls. Support messages are retained only as needed to handle the request and applicable obligations.
We use reasonable safeguards, but no system can guarantee absolute security. Integrated services may process information outside your country. Where applicable, their processing is subject to international-transfer safeguards.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing, withdraw applicable consent, or contact a supervisory authority. We may need limited information to identify and respond to a request. We cannot identify or remotely delete a local save held only on your device; Google service data may require Google’s deletion controls.
## 10. Changes and contact
We may update this policy when features, services, or legal requirements change. The updated version will appear on this page with a new revision date. Material changes will receive appropriate notice.
