- No account required: Our app does not require registration, login, or any personal data to play.
- No behavioral tracking: We do not track, profile, or perform behavioral analysis on any users, including children.
- No interest-based advertising: Our app does NOT use interest-based advertising or remarketing for any users. All ads served are child-safe and age-appropriate (rated "G" — General Audiences).
- No social features for children: The app does not include social networking features, chat rooms, or any way for children to communicate with other users online.
- Parental controls: Parents can clear all locally stored game data by clearing the app's storage in device settings, or by uninstalling the app.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has inadvertently provided personal information, please contact us immediately at the email address below. We will promptly delete any such data.
📊 3. Information We Collect
Our app is designed with privacy in mind. We collect minimal data:
- Game Data (Local Only): High scores, achievements, game progress, and settings are stored locally on your device only. We do not upload this data to any server.
- Player Names (Local Only): Names entered in multiplayer (Pass & Play) mode are stored locally and are never transmitted online.
🔒 We do NOT collect: names, email addresses, phone numbers, location data, photos, contacts, or any other personally identifiable information.
📢 4. Advertising
Our app uses Google AdMob, a Google Play Families Self-Certified Ads SDK, to display advertisements.
⚠️ Important: Our app is configured with child-directed treatment. This means:
- Child-safe ads only: All ads are tagged for child-directed treatment (COPPA compliance flag enabled).
- Maximum ad content rating: "G" (General): Only family-friendly, age-appropriate ads are displayed.
- No interest-based advertising: Ads are NOT personalized based on user behavior or browsing history.
- No remarketing: We do not use remarketing or retargeting for any users.
- No deceptive ads: Ads are clearly distinguishable from game content and are not designed to cause accidental clicks.
- Rewarded ads only: We use opt-in rewarded video ads — users choose to watch ads in exchange for in-game rewards. No forced or disruptive ads.
Google AdMob may collect limited, non-personal device information (such as device type and operating system version) solely for ad serving purposes. For more details, see: Google Privacy Policy
💳 5. In-App Purchases
Our app offers optional in-app purchases (cosmetic bottle skins) through Google Play Billing. All transactions are processed securely through Google Play. We do not collect or store any payment information.

All game-related data (scores, settings, achievements, player names) is stored locally on your device using browser local storage within the app. We do not have access to this data, and it is not transmitted to any external servers.
