Privacy Policy
shunyom (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates Jumping Bird (the “Game”).
The Game is intended for a mixed audience, including children and adults. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect or receive, why we use it, how it may be shared, and the choices available to users.
1. Information We Collect
Depending on how you use the Game, we may collect or receive the following categories of information.
A. Age Information
When you first start the Game, we may ask you to provide your age or age range. We use this information to place the user into an appropriate age category and to apply appropriate privacy, advertising, analytics, and feature settings. The age information is an age declaration provided by the user. We do not represent that the age declaration independently verifies the user's legal identity or age. We do not use the age information for unrelated purposes.
B. Google Sign-In and Account Information
The Game may allow users to sign in using Google Sign-In. Google Sign-In is used for authentication and account management. Depending on the sign-in method and the information made available by Google, we may receive information such as a Google account identifier, email address, name or display name, profile information made available through the sign-in process, and authentication-related information. We use this information to create and manage the Game account and provide account-related features. We do not need your Google account password, and we do not receive your Google password through Firebase Authentication.
C. Gameplay and Leaderboard Data
We may collect information related to your gameplay, including game score, high score, leaderboard score, ranking, achievements, game progress, gameplay statistics, and game account identifier. Your display name or username and score may appear on the Game's leaderboard. We do not intend to display private account information such as your password or private authentication credentials on a public leaderboard.
D. Technical and Usage Information
The Game and its third-party services may automatically process technical and usage information such as device type and model, operating system and version, app version, language and general region, IP address or network information where processed by a service, crash and diagnostic information, app interactions, game usage events, and advertising-related information where permitted. The exact information processed depends on the SDKs and services used by the Game.
E. Purchase Information
When you use the Starter Pack offer, Google Play processes the payment. We do not receive or store your card number or other full payment details. The Game and our Firebase service receive limited purchase information needed to verify and deliver the pack, such as the product identifier, purchase token, purchase status, purchase time, and acknowledgement status. The raw purchase token is sent to Google Play for verification and is not stored by us. We store a SHA-256 hash of that token, the product and package identifiers, verification timestamps, and delivery status in Firebase Firestore to prevent duplicate coin grants, restore the permanent entitlement, respond to refunds or revocations, prevent fraud, and resolve purchase problems. This purchase processing occurs only when the offer is used, and the offer is available only to users who declare that they are 18 or older. Analytics remains disabled for declared under-18 users.
2. Firebase Authentication
We may use Firebase Authentication to create and manage user accounts. Firebase Authentication may process information necessary to register users, authenticate users, maintain secure sessions, and protect accounts. Account information is used to provide Game functionality such as login, saved progress, leaderboards, and other online features.
3. Google Analytics for Firebase
We use Google Analytics for Firebase (Firebase Analytics) to understand how users interact with the Game and to improve the Game. Analytics may collect information such as app usage, session information, gameplay events, device and app information, performance information, and crash or diagnostic information. We may use analytics information to understand gameplay patterns, improve features, fix technical problems, and monitor Game performance. The exact information collected depends on the Firebase Analytics configuration used in the Game.
4. Google AdMob
We use Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may process information necessary to deliver, measure, protect, and improve advertising, subject to applicable laws, Google's policies, and the user's age treatment. Because our Game has a mixed audience, we will apply appropriate child or age-based treatment to advertising requests where required. We will not knowingly serve personalized advertising to children where prohibited by applicable law or platform policy.
5. Children and Privacy
We recognize that children require additional privacy protections. The Game is intended for both children and adults, and we use an age-screening step when the Game is first started. Where a user is identified or declared as a child, or where the user's age is unknown, we will apply the child-appropriate treatment required by applicable law and platform policy. We do not intentionally require children to provide unnecessary information such as a home address or telephone number solely for playing the Game. Because the Game supports accounts and leaderboards, some information necessary to provide those features may be processed. Such processing will be handled in accordance with applicable law and platform requirements.
6. Age Screening
The Game may present a neutral age screen when the user first starts the Game. The user may be asked to provide an age or age range. The result is used to apply appropriate treatment for advertising, analytics, and other features. We do not use the age response to intentionally discriminate against users or for unrelated advertising purposes.
7. Leaderboards
The Game may provide online leaderboards. A leaderboard may show username or display name, score, rank, and achievements or gameplay statistics. Users should choose a username that does not reveal private information. For example, users should not use their full home address, phone number, email address, or other sensitive information as a public display name.
8. How We Use Information
We may use information to create and manage accounts; authenticate users; provide leaderboards; save game progress; verify and deliver purchases; prevent duplicate purchase grants; maintain Game functionality; provide customer support; analyze gameplay and app performance where analytics is enabled; improve the Game; detect fraud, cheating, and abuse; maintain security; display appropriate advertisements; and comply with legal obligations.
9. Sharing of Information
We may share information with service providers that help us operate the Game, including Google Sign-In, Firebase Authentication, Firebase services, Google Analytics for Firebase, Google AdMob, Google Play Billing and Google Play Developer services, cloud/database providers, and security and fraud-prevention providers. We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, or where reasonably necessary to protect users, the Game, or our rights.
10. Sale of Personal Information
We do not sell personal information as a business practice. Third-party services such as advertising or analytics providers may independently process information according to their own policies and applicable law.
11. Account Deletion
Because the Game allows users to create accounts, users may request deletion of their Game account and associated personal information. We will provide an in-app deletion option and an external deletion request method. After receiving a valid deletion request, we will delete or anonymize associated account data within a reasonable period, subject to information that must be retained for legal, security, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, backup, or other lawful purposes.
12. Children's Privacy Requests
A parent or legal guardian may contact us regarding information associated with a child. Depending on applicable law, parents or guardians may request access to, correction of, or deletion of applicable information and may exercise other rights available under applicable law. We may take reasonable steps to verify the identity and authority of a person making a request regarding a child.
Children's Privacy and Parental Supervision
Jumping Bird may be used by children. Children should use the Game under the guidance and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. Parents and legal guardians are responsible for reviewing the Game's Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and for supervising their child's use of the Game and its features.
13. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required or permitted by applicable law. Different types of information may have different retention periods. Hashed purchase and delivery records may be retained for the life of the product and for an appropriate period afterwards where needed to restore entitlements, prevent duplicate grants or fraud, handle refunds and disputes, or meet legal and accounting obligations.
14. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure. However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
15. International Processing
Our third-party service providers, including Google and Firebase, may process information in countries other than the country where the user lives. Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards will be used for international data transfers.
16. User Choices and Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including access, correction, deletion, withdrawal of consent where applicable, account deletion, and certain advertising or analytics choices. Some controls may also be available through your device or app settings.
