Balancino Privacy Policy
Balancino ("the game") is a puzzle game for iOS made by an independent developer ("we", "us"). This policy explains what data the game handles and why. We do not have user accounts, we do not run our own servers and we collect no gameplay statistics.
Data we collect
We do not collect, store or receive any personal data on our own servers. Your game progress, settings, hints and purchase status are saved only on your device. Ads are served by Google AdMob (below).
Advertising
The free version of the game shows ads served by Google AdMob: interstitial ads between levels, and rewarded videos that play only when you choose to watch one in exchange for a hint. To deliver and measure ads, AdMob may collect device identifiers (such as the advertising ID / IDFA, where permitted), approximate location derived from your IP address, device and app information, and ad interaction data. This data is processed by Google under its own policy: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
- Consent: Where required (the EEA, the UK and Switzerland), Google's consent form (User Messaging Platform) asks for your agreement before ads are shown. You can change your choice at any time in the game's Settings under Privacy options.
- iOS tracking: The advertising identifier is used only if you allow tracking in Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. You can turn tracking off at any time in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
- Removing ads: Buying "Remove Ads" turns off the interstitial ads between levels. Optional rewarded videos only play when you choose to watch them.
In-app purchases
The game offers optional hint packs and "Remove Ads". Purchases are handled by the Apple App Store. We never receive your payment details; the game only learns on your device that a purchase was made, so it can unlock it.
Children
The game is designed for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Your rights
We store no personal data on our own servers, so deleting the game removes all of your game data from your device. For data processed by Google for advertising, you can reset or limit your advertising ID in your device settings and manage consent in the game's Settings. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or Turkey's KVKK), you may have further rights; contact us and we will help.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date.
