Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Flappy BALL-Bird Origins is a free, offline-first one-tap arcade game. You can play the entire game — every world, every secret, 100% of the content — without an account, without giving us your name, and without an internet connection. We designed it to collect as little data as possible.

We do not collect your real name, phone number, contacts, precise location, photos, or microphone/camera input.

An account is optional and exists for one purpose only: keeping your progress if you lose or change your phone. If your version of the app offers it and you choose to sign in, we process your email address and the progress you ask us to save — nothing else, and nothing that changes what you can play. Signing out or deleting your account restores the offline-first behaviour described above.

2. Data We Process

2.1 Advertising (Google AdMob)

The game shows ads to remain free. Ads are served by Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK). To serve and measure ads, AdMob may collect your advertising identifier (Android Advertising ID) and device-level signals (device type, OS version, inferred region, ad interaction events).

Before any personalized ad is served in regions that require it (EEA, UK, Switzerland), the app presents Google's UMP consent form (GDPR / IAB TCF). You can grant or refuse consent; if you refuse, ads are served in a non-personalized / limited way where supported. You can reset your choice at any time in your device's Google settings. Google's handling of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy and the AdMob data disclosure.

2.2 Optional Online Leaderboard (Supabase)

The leaderboard is opt-in: it is only used if you choose to submit a score. When you submit, the app sends to our backend (hosted on Supabase, EU region):

• Pseudonym — a nickname you choose yourself (no real name required);
• Score — your game score and game mode;
• Anonymous device identifier — a random UUID generated on your device, used only to deduplicate and rate-limit submissions. It is never shown publicly — the public leaderboard read only exposes pseudonym, score, and rank.

If you never submit a score, none of this data leaves your device.

2.3 Anonymous Analytics (optional, PostHog)

When enabled in a given build, the app may send anonymous product-analytics events (e.g. "game started", "leaderboard opened") via PostHog to help us improve the game. These events are not tied to your identity. Builds shipped without an analytics key send nothing.

2.4 Crash Reports and Performance Diagnostics (Sentry)

In builds that contain the diagnostics key, crash reporting is active and runs automatically. Sentry collects technical crash and performance diagnostics to detect, diagnose, and fix crashes and performance problems. Reports may include a pseudonymous installation identifier, error messages, stack traces, up to 50 recent technical breadcrumbs, and app, operating-system, runtime, device, locale, environment, and performance information. Performance traces are sampled at 20%. No screenshot or view hierarchy is attached.

The app does not add your name, email address, account identifier, advertising identifier, or precise location to the report. The app does not add your IP address to the report, but Sentry receives the connection IP address needed to accept the transmission. Error messages and breadcrumbs can incidentally contain information present when an error occurs; we do not intentionally add account data. We use these reports only to maintain the game's security, stability, and performance (our legitimate interest under GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). Crash and performance reports are kept for no longer than 90 days. The app does not offer an in-app crash-reporting opt-out. You may object or exercise your data-protection rights by emailing qubitumai@gmail.com.

2.5 Local Preferences (on-device only)

Game progress, settings, your chosen pseudonym, high score, and coins are stored locally on your device. This data is deleted when you uninstall the app. This local gameplay data leaves your device only when you submit a score to the leaderboard (section 2.2) or sign in to save your progress (section 2.6). Advertising, analytics, and crash-reporting data are described separately above.

2.6 Optional Account & Cloud Save (Supabase)

An account is optional and is never required to play. When your version of the app offers it and you choose to sign in, we process:

• Your email address — used only to send you a one-time sign-in link and to recognise you on a new device. We never send marketing email;
• An account identifier and session token — created by Supabase Auth so the app knows the save belongs to you;
• Your saved progress — the same on-device data described in section 2.5 (worlds and secrets unlocked, skins, coins, settings, high score). No new information is created by signing in.

Purposes: account management and app functionality (restoring your progress). Legal basis under GDPR: performance of the service you asked for (Art. 6(1)(b)). Processor: Supabase, acting on our instructions. Retention: for as long as the account exists; deleting the account deletes the data (section 6). We do not use account data for advertising, we do not sell it, and we do not share it with any other third party.

3. What We Do NOT Collect

• No password, ever — signing in, when offered, uses a one-time link sent to your email. We never create, ask for, or store a password.
• No email address unless you sign in yourself — and none at all if you never do.
• No real name, phone number, or contacts.
• No precise GPS location.
• No photos, microphone, or camera access.
• No data sold to third parties — we do not sell your data.

4. Children

Flappy BALL-Bird Origins is not directed at children under 13 and is intended for a general (mixed) audience. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13, and we do not enable child-directed ad targeting. If you believe a child has provided data to us, contact qubitumai@gmail.com and we will delete it.

5. Third-Party Processors

6. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Because we hold almost no personal data, requests are simple:

• Account deletion — if you have an account, delete it yourself from the app (Settings → Account → Delete account); it removes your email, your account identifier, your cloud save and your leaderboard entries in a single operation. You can also request it from our account deletion page. Your on-device progress is untouched: the game keeps working offline exactly as before.
• Access / portability of account data — email qubitumai@gmail.com from the address you signed in with; we will send you a machine-readable copy of your account data within 30 days.
• Access / deletion of a leaderboard entry — email qubitumai@gmail.com with your pseudonym and approximate submission time; we will locate and delete the entry.
• Local data — clearing the app data or uninstalling deletes all on-device data instantly.
• Advertising — manage or reset your advertising ID and ad-personalization consent in your device settings, or via the in-app UMP form (EEA/UK/CH).
• Opt-out of "sale" — we do not sell data.
• Object to crash reporting — the app has no in-app crash-reporting switch. Email qubitumai@gmail.com to exercise your right to object or request deletion of a report.

EU residents may also lodge a complaint with their national data protection authority (e.g. CNIL in France).

7. Data Retention

• Account and cloud save — for as long as the account exists. Deleting the account deletes them; residual backup copies are purged within 30 days.
• Leaderboard entries — until you request deletion or the entry is superseded.
• Anonymous analytics — per PostHog defaults, then aggregated.
• Crash and performance reports — no longer than 90 days.
• Local preferences — until you clear app data or uninstall.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the app evolves or as laws change. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest version. Material changes will be reflected here before taking effect.
