01. Introduction
Welcome to Rebound Arena - SMASH (the "Game", "App", "we", "us", or "our"), created and published by candy_smash. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding your information when you install, play, or interact with Rebound Arena - SMASH on iOS and Android devices.
By downloading or playing Rebound Arena - SMASH, you acknowledge and agree to the terms described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the Game.
02. Information We Do Not Collect
Rebound Arena is built primarily as an offline-friendly entertainment experience. We do not maintain our own user accounts, registration databases, or backend servers that harvest personal data.
We do NOT collect, store, share, or sell any of the following directly:
- Full legal names, usernames, or physical home addresses
- Email addresses or phone numbers
- Contacts, microphone, camera, or photo library files
- Precise real-time GPS location coordinates
- Biometric or health data
Game progress, local high scores, and unlocked items are stored locally on your device (or synchronized via your platform's native cloud save system, such as Apple iCloud or Google Play Games, according to your device configuration).
03. Third-Party Services & SDKs
While we do not collect personal data ourselves, Rebound Arena integrates standard third-party software development kits (SDKs) to provide in-game advertisements, support in-app purchases, and ensure game stability.
These third parties may automatically collect non-personal device information (such as operating system version, device model, language settings, approximate IP-based geographic region, and advertising identifiers) in compliance with their own independent privacy policies:
04. In-App Purchases (IAP)
Rebound Arena offers optional virtual goods or ad-removal through in-app purchases.
- No Financial Access: All transactions are executed through Apple App Store (In-App Purchase) or Google Play (Google Play Billing). We never receive, process, or store your credit card numbers, billing addresses, or financial credentials.
- Receipt Validation: The game receives an encrypted digital token from the store platform confirming whether an item was successfully purchased or restored, enabling the purchased feature inside the game.
05. Advertising & Device Identifiers
Rebound Arena may display advertisements (such as rewarded video ads or banner ads) to support ongoing game development.
Advertising networks use device identifiers (such as Apple's Identifier for Advertisers — IDFA on iOS, or Google's Advertising ID — GAID on Android) to:
- Measure ad performance and view counts
- Prevent fraud and repetitive ad displays
- Deliver relevant advertisements (subject to your consent preferences)
On iOS: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking, where you can disable tracking requests or revoke permissions for Rebound Arena.
On Android: Go to Settings > Google > Ads (or Privacy > Ads) and choose to "Delete Advertising ID" or "Reset Advertising ID".
06. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K)
Protecting the privacy of children is of paramount importance to us. Rebound Arena is designed for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the European Union).
If ad providers serve ads in the game, we request that ad networks operate in accordance with COPPA, showing non-personalized or contextual advertising where appropriate. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us without parental consent, please contact us immediately, and we will take swift action to verify and erase any such information.
07. Data Storage, Retention & Security
Because we do not store personal data on remote developer servers, your gameplay data remains primarily on your physical device. If you uninstall the Game or clear its application storage, any locally held game progression data will be deleted unless backed up by your device's native cloud mechanism.
We implement standard best practices and use encrypted communication protocols (HTTPS) whenever the Game communicates with third-party verification or ad endpoints.
08. Data Deletion & Account Policy
Rebound Arena - SMASH does not require user accounts, passwords, or registrations. We do not operate remote servers storing your personal profiles.
In compliance with Google Play Data Safety and Apple App Store guidelines, players have full control over their game data:
- Deleting Gameplay & Progress Data: All game data (such as stage progression, unlocked ball skins, credits, gems, and talents) is saved locally on your physical device. To permanently delete all game data, simply clear the app's cache and data in your device settings or uninstall the application.
- Deleting Advertising Identifiers: You can delete or reset your advertising ID at any time via your device settings (iOS: Settings > Privacy > Tracking; Android: Settings > Google > Ads > Delete Advertising ID).
- Data Deletion Inquiries: If you have any questions or wish to confirm the removal of any data associated with your interaction with support, you may submit a request by emailing billgetboy@gmail.com or opening an issue on our GitHub Support Tracker.
09. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR, CCPA & EEA/UK Consent)
Depending on your jurisdiction (such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, California, or other US states), you have specific legal rights regarding your data:
- EEA & UK Consent (Google UMP / TCF): For users residing in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK, personalized ads are only served after explicit consent is obtained in compliance with the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF) via Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP). You can review or revoke consent at any time.
- Right to Know / Access: You may request information on what categories of data third-party ad networks collect.
- Right to Deletion: You can delete all local data by uninstalling the application or resetting advertising identifiers as explained in Section 8.
- Right to Opt-Out of "Sale" or "Sharing": We do not sell your personal data. You can limit personalized ad tracking via your device settings as detailed in Section 5.
- Non-Discrimination: Exercising your privacy rights will never result in degraded game mechanics or denial of game services.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, new game updates, or evolving legal and regulatory obligations.
When changes are made, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this document. We encourage players to periodically review this page to stay informed about our commitment to user privacy.
