This Privacy Policy explains what information Arrow Bloom ("we", "our", "the App") collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information described here.
1Information We Collect
The App collects a limited set of information to operate, personalize ads, and improve stability. There is no account or sign-up, so we never collect your name, email, or any identity information directly:
- Game progress — level, stars, coins, and boosters are stored only on your device and are never transmitted to us.
- Usage & analytics data — screens viewed, time spent, and in-game actions (e.g. level completed, booster used), collected via Firebase Analytics.
- Advertising identifiers — your device's Advertising ID and approximate location (derived from IP address), collected via Google AdMob to serve and measure ads.
- Crash & performance data — device model, OS version, and crash stack traces, collected via Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Performance Monitoring.
- Push notification token — a device token used to deliver optional notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging. You can disable these at any time from your device's system notification settings for the App.
- Purchase records — if you buy Remove Ads or a coin/booster pack, Google Play or the App Store processes the transaction; see In-App Purchases.
2How We Use Information
- To operate core gameplay and save your local progress.
- To understand which features are used and improve the App.
- To diagnose and fix crashes or performance issues.
- To show and measure advertising that keeps the App free.
- To deliver the in-app purchases you buy.
- To send optional push notifications (e.g. daily reward reminders).
3Third-Party Services
The App uses the following third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy:
- Google AdMob — advertising. Google Privacy Policy
- Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics, Performance Monitoring, Cloud Messaging) — a Google service. Firebase Privacy & Security
- Google Play Billing / Apple App Store — processes in-app purchases. Google Privacy Policy / Apple Privacy Policy
4International Data Transfers
We are based in India, and our third-party providers (Google/Firebase, AdMob) operate global infrastructure — the data described above may be processed on servers outside your own country, including in the United States. These providers maintain their own safeguards for cross-border transfers (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers from the EU/EEA and UK); see their privacy policies linked in Third-Party Services for details.
5In-App Purchases
The App offers optional purchases — removing ads, and coin or booster packs. These are processed entirely by Google Play or the Apple App Store: we never see or store your payment card details. The store shares with us only that a purchase was made and for which item, so we can deliver it (e.g. mark ads as removed, add the coins). Refunds are handled by Google Play or Apple under their own policies.
6Advertising & Your Choices
You can opt out of personalized advertising and reset your advertising identifier at any time from your device settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads on iOS, or Settings → Google → Ads on Android). Opting out does not stop ads from showing, only their personalization. Buying Remove Ads stops interstitial ads entirely; optional rewarded video ads (e.g. to earn coins) remain available if you choose to watch one.
7Children's Privacy
Arrow Bloom is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us and we will delete it.
8Data Retention
Analytics, crash, and advertising data are retained by our third-party providers per their own retention policies (typically 14–26 months). Your local game progress remains on your device until you uninstall the App or clear its data.
9Data Security
We rely on industry-standard security practices provided by Google/Firebase infrastructure, and payment details are handled entirely by Google Play / the App Store rather than by us. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information to the best of our ability.
10Your Rights
You may request access to, or deletion of, any data associated with your device by contacting us below. You can also uninstall the App at any time to remove all locally stored data.
11EU/EEA & UK Rights (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to: access the data we (or our processors) hold about your device; request correction or erasure of it; restrict or object to its processing; and receive it in a portable format, to the extent it applies given the App collects no account-linked personal data. To exercise any of these, contact us below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority. Our legal basis for the processing described above is our legitimate interest in operating, securing and improving the App, and, for advertising, your consent where required by applicable law (e.g. the EU ePrivacy Directive) — you can withdraw this at any time via your device's ad-tracking settings (see Advertising & Your Choices).
12California Rights (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request its deletion, and to opt out of its "sale" or "sharing" as those terms are broadly defined under California law — which can include the advertising identifiers shared with Google AdMob described in What We Collect. We do not sell personal information for money. To opt out of ad-related sharing, use your device's "Opt out of Ads Personalization" / "Limit Ad Tracking" setting, or contact us below and we will process your request. We do not discriminate against users who exercise these rights.
13Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, with an updated "Last updated" date above.
