Whoosh Balloon ("the App") is a free-to-play casual game developed by Saimcan Sesigur ("we", "us", "the Developer"). This policy explains what data the App collects, how it is used, and your rights over that data. By using the App you agree to this policy.
We store the following data on a Firebase Realtime Database server (operated by Google Ireland Limited) to power the in-app leaderboard:
| Data | Purpose | Linked to you? |
|---|---|---|
| Player ID (auto-generated hexadecimal token, not tied to your Apple ID, Google account, email, or any personal identifier) | Uniquely identifying your score entry so you can update your own name and score | Pseudonymously — we cannot identify you by this ID alone |
| Display name (voluntary — chosen by you in the App) | Shown next to your score on public leaderboards | Only to the extent you choose a recognisable name |
| Score (integer) | Ranking on daily and all-time leaderboards | Via the Player ID above |
Scores are retained indefinitely for all-time ranking. Daily scores are retained for 30 days and then deleted automatically. You can request deletion at any time (see Section 6).
The following data is stored only in the App's local storage on your device and is never transmitted to us:
This data is deleted when you uninstall the App or clear its local storage.
The App uses Google AdMob to display interstitial ads and support a free-to-play business model. If you grant tracking permission (via Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt on iOS, or via your device's ad personalisation settings on Android), AdMob may collect the following to serve personalised advertising:
If you deny tracking permission, AdMob will serve non-personalised ads and will not collect the identifiers above for tracking purposes.
AdMob's own privacy policy governs its use of this data:

If you purchase the "Remove Ads" in-app purchase, the transaction is processed entirely by the platform store (Apple App Store on iOS, Google Play Store on Android). We never see or store your payment details. We only receive an anonymous entitlement confirmation used to disable ads on your device.
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, physical address, precise location, contacts, photos, health data, financial data, browsing history outside the App, or any other personally identifying information.
If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland you have the right to:
To exercise these rights, contact us at the address in Section 10.
California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information. However, sharing device identifiers with AdMob for personalised advertising may be considered "sharing" under the CPRA. You can opt out by denying the tracking prompt on iOS, or by disabling ad personalisation in your Android device settings.
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Leaderboard data is transmitted over HTTPS and stored on Firebase servers with access controlled by Firebase Security Rules. No system is 100% secure, but we follow industry-standard practices to protect your data.
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be announced via an in-App notification.
