Privacy Policy

1Who we are

Royal Bubbles (Android package com.FFS79.BubbleShooterNova) is a bubble puzzle game published by FFS79 LIMITED, a game studio registered in England and Wales, 71-75 Shelton Street, London WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom ("we", "us", "our").

We are the controller of the personal data described in this policy. This policy applies to Royal Bubbles only. Our other games are covered by the studio policy at privacy.ffs79.com.

3What we collect

When you play as a guest

Your game progress (levels, coins, boosters, card album, events, league standing and settings) is stored on your device. We don't receive it unless you sign in.

When you sign in (optional)

Sign-in uses Firebase Authentication (Google). If you choose to sign in, we receive:

• a unique account ID created by Firebase;
• the basic profile details from the sign-in method you pick (for example, the name and email address of your Google account);
• your game progress, saved in the cloud (Google Cloud Firestore) so it can be restored on another device.

Royal League

If you take part in the weekly Royal League, your in-game name, avatar picture (one of the game's characters) and league points are shown to the other players in your group. We never show your real name or email.

Technical data

To run the game and its online services, we and our providers process technical data: device model, operating system and version, app version, language, IP address and approximate location derived from it, and diagnostic information when something goes wrong.

Reminders (notifications)

If you allow notifications, the game sets reminders on your phone itself, for example when your lives are full, your daily gift is ready or an event is about to end. They are scheduled by the game on your device: nothing is sent to us or to any server to create them. You can turn them off at any time in your phone's Settings → Apps → Royal Bubbles → Notifications.

Ads and purchases

Ads and payments involve Google AdMob and Google Play, described in sections 6 and 7.

4How we use it, and why we're allowed to

We don't use your data for automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.

5Who we share it with

We use trusted service providers who process data for us or alongside us:

• Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore and related services): sign-in, cloud save and online features. Firebase privacy
• Google AdMob: rewarded ads. How Google uses data from partner apps
• Google Play: downloads, payments and purchase records. Google Privacy Policy

We may also share data when the law requires it, to protect our rights or users' safety, or with a buyer if the studio or the game is sold (this policy would keep protecting your data).

International transfers: our providers may process data outside the UK and EEA, including in the United States. Where they do, transfers rely on approved safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum and the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

6Ads and your choices

Royal Bubbles shows only rewarded ads: an ad plays when you tap a button such as "Free +5" or "+1 Life" to earn a bonus. There are no banner ads and no ads that interrupt your play.

Ads are provided by Google AdMob, which may collect your device's advertising ID, device information, IP address, approximate location and how you interact with ads, to show, measure and (with your consent) personalise them.

• In the UK, EEA and Switzerland the game asks for your consent first, using Google's consent message. You can change your choice at any time from Settings → Privacy Choices in the game.
• On Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in your phone's Settings → Google → Ads (or Settings → Privacy → Ads).

7In-app purchases

Royal Bubbles is free to play. Some items, such as coin packs, the Royal Sash and the Royal Piggy, can be bought with real money. Purchases are optional.

• Payments are processed entirely by Google Play. We never receive or store your card or bank details.
• We receive a purchase record (product, order ID, purchase token and time) so we can deliver your items and restore them later.
• Players under 18 should ask a parent or guardian before buying. Purchases can be protected with a password or parental controls in the Google Play Store.

8How long we keep it

• Device data stays on your device until you uninstall the game or clear its data.
• Account and cloud save data is kept while your account exists. When you delete your account, it is erased within 30 days, except records we must keep by law.
• Purchase records are kept as long as tax and accounting laws require (in the UK, normally 6 years).
• Support emails are kept for up to 2 years after we last hear from you.

10Delete your account

You can delete your Royal Bubbles account and the data linked to it whenever you like, from inside the game or by email.

11Children

Royal Bubbles is made for players aged 13 and over. We don't knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

13Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the game or the law changes. We'll post the new version here with a new "Last updated" date, and tell you in the game about important changes.
