Fishbone Flinger — Privacy Policy
In short: no ads, no analytics, no tracking. You can play everything without an account. If you choose to play online, we keep the minimum needed to run it, and you can delete it from inside the app.
Stored on your device
Your progress — levels, stars, pearls, unlocked items, settings and personal bests — is saved on your device. Uninstalling the app or clearing its data deletes it. If you sign in to an online account, a backup copy is also kept online (see below).
If you post to the classic leaderboard (no account)
The nickname you type and your score, with the time, are stored and shown publicly to every player. Don't use your real name or anything personal as a nickname.
If you create an online account (optional)
Sign-in is by a 6-digit code sent to your email. On Android you can also sign in with Google; on iPhone and iPad you can also use Sign in with Apple. We then store:
- your email address and an account id — to sign you in. If you sign in with Google, Google also passes us the name and profile-picture link on your Google account, which our sign-in system keeps with your account; we don't show them to other players. If you use Sign in with Apple, Apple gives us an account id and your email address — or, if you choose Hide My Email, a private relay address that forwards to you; we don't receive your name;
- your handle (made up for you; you can change it) and your look — avatar, equipped items and badges — shown on leaderboards and to players in online lobbies and races;
- your area, if you set it: only a country and province/state code. When you allow location, your device works this out itself from your approximate location and only the codes are sent — your coordinates never leave the device. You can also pick it by hand, or not set it;
- your scores and the inputs of each ranked run (so our server can replay the run and reject cheating), your results in online 1v1 and party races, tournament entries, and season and league progress;
- a backup of your progress — made when you sign in and whenever you tap Back up now — so you can get it back on another device;
- on Android, a record of verified pearl purchases (product, order id, time). Payments are handled by Google Play; we never see card details. The iPhone and iPad app has no purchases.
Permissions
- Approximate location — asked only if you choose to set your area automatically. The app never asks for precise or background location.
- Vibration (Android) — for game feedback. You can turn it off in the game's settings.
What we do not collect
- No phone number, contacts, photos, microphone or camera.
- No precise location.
- No advertising, analytics or third-party tracking SDKs, and no advertising ID.
Who processes it
Our backend runs on Supabase (our processor). Its standard server logs can include your IP address, for security and to keep the service running; we don't use them to identify you. We do not sell or share your information. Handles, looks, scores and areas on leaderboards are public by design.
Deleting your data
In the app: Account › Delete my account removes your account and every online record listed above, and if you signed in with Apple it also tells Apple to stop the app’s access to your Apple ID. Progress on your device stays until you reset it in Settings or uninstall. For classic-leaderboard entries (no account), email hello@bigbad.agency with the nickname and roughly when you posted it, and we will delete it.
Children
The game is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes
If this changes we will update this page and the date above before the change ships.
