Bird Flow Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how the mobile game Bird Flow (the "App"), published by Digital Studio Records ("we", "us" or "our"), handles information. In short: we do not collect your personal information ourselves. The App shows optional rewarded video ads through Google AdMob, and Google collects some device information to provide those ads, as described below.
1. Information we collect
We do not collect any personal information. The App does not require an account, does not ask for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos or any other personal details, and does not access your camera, microphone or precise location. We do not run our own servers for the App, so no game data is sent to us.
2. Advertising (Google AdMob)
After a run, the App may offer an optional rewarded video ad that gives bonus in-game coins. Watching an ad is always your choice; you can tap "No thanks" and keep playing. These ads are provided by Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC. To show ads, the App connects to the internet, and the Google Mobile Ads SDK built into the App may collect and process:
- Your device's advertising ID (a resettable identifier provided by Android)
- Your IP address, which may be used to estimate your general (city-level) location
- Device and app information, such as device model, operating system version, language and app version
- Ad interactions, such as which ads were shown, watched or tapped
- Diagnostic information, such as crash and performance data related to ads
Google uses this information to deliver and measure ads, limit how often you see the same ad, prevent fraud and abuse, and, where permitted, show ads that are more relevant to you. This information is collected directly by Google, not by us, and is handled under Google's own policies:
3. Your advertising choices
- Consent (EEA, UK and Switzerland): if you are in a region where the law requires consent, the App shows Google's consent form before personalized ads are used. If you do not consent, Google may still show non-personalized or limited ads. To make a new choice, clear the App's data (see Section 6) and open the App again to see the form.
- Personalized ads: you can turn off ad personalization, or reset or delete your advertising ID, in your device's settings, usually under Settings → Google → Ads or Settings → Privacy → Ads. You can also manage Google ad settings at adssettings.google.com.
- No ads at all: rewarded ads only play when you choose to watch one. If you never tap "Watch ad", no ad video is played.
4. Information stored on your device
To make the game work, the App saves the following game data only on your own device:
- Game progress such as coins, best scores, unlocked birds, worlds and trails, and equipped items
- Game statistics, achievements, daily rewards and mission progress
- The times you watched rewarded ads, so the App can apply its hourly ad limit
- Settings such as sound, music and vibration preferences
This game data never leaves your device and is never sent to us. We cannot see it, access it or recover it.
5. Sharing your score
The App includes an optional "Share" button. If you tap it, the App opens your device's standard share menu with a short message about your score. You choose which app (for example, a messaging or social media app) receives that message. We do not receive any information when you share, and what happens next is governed by the privacy policy of the app you choose.
6. Data retention and deletion
Your game data stays on your device until you delete it. You can delete all of it at any time by either:
- Uninstalling Bird Flow, or
- Opening your device's Settings → Apps → Bird Flow → Storage → Clear data
Deleting this data permanently resets your progress, and it cannot be restored. Information collected by Google for advertising is kept according to Google's own retention policies; you can manage or delete it through your Google account and device ad settings described in Section 3.
7. Selling and sharing of information
We do not sell personal information. Because Google AdMob may use device information such as your advertising ID to show personalized ads, some laws (for example, in California) may treat this as "sharing" for targeted advertising. You can opt out at any time by turning off ad personalization or deleting your advertising ID as described in Section 3.
8. Security
Your game data is stored using your device's standard app storage, which other apps cannot access under Android's normal security protections. Data sent to Google for advertising is transmitted using encryption in transit.
9. Children's privacy
Bird Flow is intended for users aged 13 and older and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us and we will address it.
10. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information held about you, or to object to or restrict its use. We hold no personal information about you. For information collected by Google for advertising, you can use the choices in Section 3 or contact Google through its Privacy Policy. You can delete all game data stored on your device at any time as described in Section 6.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example if the App's features change. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. If a future version of the App begins collecting additional information, this policy will be updated before that change takes effect.
