Salt Shaker Labs ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and disclosed when you use our mobile application, Balloon Climb! Classic (the "Service").
By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
01Information We Collect
We do not ask you to create an account and we do not collect your name, address, or email address directly through the Service.
Game data stored on your device. Your progress (best distance, coins, unlocked items, settings, achievements, daily challenge streaks) is saved locally on your device. We do not send this data to our own servers.
Automatically collected information. Our third-party partners (see section 02) may automatically collect information such as your device type, advertising identifier, IP address (and approximate location derived from it), operating system, and data about how ads are shown and interacted with.
02Third-Party Services & Advertising
Our Service is supported by advertising to remain free. We use Google AdMob. AdMob may use advertising IDs and similar technologies to show personalized or non-personalized ads. Google processes this data under Google's Privacy Policy. To learn more about how Google uses data from apps that use its services, visit policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
- Consent (EEA, United Kingdom, Switzerland). Where required by law, we ask for your consent before personalized ads are shown, using Google's User Messaging Platform. You can review or change your choice later by contacting us or by resetting your device's advertising settings.
- iOS App Tracking Transparency. On iPhone and iPad, the app asks for your permission before it can use the advertising identifier (IDFA) for tracking. If you decline, ads are still shown but are not personalized with that identifier. You can change this at any time in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
- Android. You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of ad personalization in Android Settings > Google > Ads.
03Game Services (Google Play Games and Apple Game Center)
The Service can optionally connect to Google Play Games Services on Android and Apple Game Center on iOS to provide a leaderboard and achievements. Signing in is optional; the game is fully playable without it.
If you sign in, your best distance score and unlocked achievements are sent to Google or Apple and are shown to you (and, on the leaderboard, to other players) together with the player name and profile image from your Google Play Games or Game Center profile. This data is processed by Google or Apple under their own privacy policies:
- Google: policies.google.com/privacy
- Apple: apple.com/legal/privacy
You can sign out or manage this data in your Google Play Games or Game Center settings. We do not receive your email address or other account details through these services.
04How We Use Your Information
We use information for the following purposes:
- To provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
- To serve advertisements through our advertising partner.
- To provide leaderboards and achievements, if you choose to sign in to Google Play Games or Game Center.
- To understand how the Service is used and to improve your experience.
05Notifications and Sharing
The Service may send local notifications (for example, daily reminders). These are created on your device and can be turned off in your device's notification settings. If you use the share button, the game opens your device's standard share sheet; what you share and with whom is up to you.
06Data Retention and Deletion
Game data stored on your device is removed when you uninstall the app. Leaderboard and achievement data kept by Google Play Games or Apple Game Center can be deleted through those services' settings. For advertising data held by Google, please use Google's ad settings and data controls. If you have a question or a deletion request, contact us at the address in section 10.
07Children's Privacy
Our Service is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.
08Security and Changes
We value your trust and use commercially reasonable means to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes are posted on this page and take effect immediately after they are posted; please review it periodically.
09Your Rights
Depending on where you live (for example in the EEA, United Kingdom, or California), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to the processing of personal data held about you. Because we do not hold personal data about you ourselves, most requests are handled by the third parties described above (Google, Apple). You may also contact us and we will help where we can.
