Mole Smash 3D — Privacy Policy

Last updated:

This privacy policy applies to the mobile app “Mole Smash 3D” for Android and iOS (iPhone), provided by Fabio Bartucci (“the Service Provider”).

Information we collect

The app does not require an account and does not ask for your name, address, email or payment details. When you use the app, the following data may be collected automatically by the third-party services listed below:

  • Device identifiers: on Android the advertising ID. On iOS the app does not show the App Tracking Transparency prompt, so the advertising identifier (IDFA) is not used to track you.
  • Approximate location derived from the IP address by the advertising service (never precise GPS location).
  • Ad data: ads shown and your interactions with them, used to deliver and measure ads.

The app includes Google Firebase Analytics but keeps Analytics collection disabled by default. It is enabled only after a successful consent flow in which you explicitly grant the relevant Analytics purposes. A regional result saying that a consent form is not required is not treated as consent: in that case the game asks for your choice, and Analytics stays disabled unless you explicitly accept. The app does not use Firebase Crashlytics.

Game progress, stars, coins, collected items and settings are stored on your device. If system backup is enabled on your device, this data may be included in your device backup under Google’s or Apple’s terms.

How we use the data

  • To show ads (Google AdMob) and measure them.
  • To ask for and respect your consent choices (Google User Messaging Platform).
  • To understand how the game is used and improve it (Google Firebase Analytics), only after explicit Analytics consent.

We do not sell your personal information.

Advertising and tracking

The app shows three kinds of ads through Google AdMob:

  • App Open ads, when you launch the app or return to it.
  • Rewarded videos, which are always optional: they play only when you tap a button marked with a play icon (for example to activate a bonus or earn extra coins).
  • Native ads on the end-of-round screen.

In addition:

  • The app requests non-personalised ads. Where Google User Messaging Platform requires a consent choice, no ad request is made until the consent update succeeds and Google reports that ads may be requested. If the consent service is unavailable, ads remain disabled. You can review or change an available consent choice at any time in Settings > Privacy / Ad consent.
  • On iOS, the app does not ask for tracking permission (App Tracking Transparency): your IDFA is not used to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies.
  • On Android, you can reset or delete your advertising ID in the device settings.

Notifications

If you turn them on, the app schedules reminders as local notifications directly on your device. We do not use a push notification server and receive no data from these notifications. You can turn them off in the device settings.

Sharing

You can choose to share an image generated by the game (for example a level result). Sharing goes through the system share sheet and the installed apps you pick; you are first asked to solve a simple maths question as a parental gate. We do not send or receive anything: the image is handled by the app you chose, under its own privacy policy.

Leaderboards

When enabled, leaderboards are optional:

  • On iOS they use Apple Game Center. If you are signed in to Game Center, your score and your Game Center nickname are sent to Apple and shown to other players. This is handled by Apple under Apple’s privacy policy. You can play without Game Center.
  • On Android they use Google Play Games Services under Google’s privacy policy.

Third-party services

These services may process data outside your country; transfers rely on standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions or your consent where required by law.

Data retention

We do not keep personal data on our own servers. Data processed by third-party services is retained under their respective policies. Data stored on your device is removed when you uninstall the app.

Your rights

You may withdraw an available advertising consent choice at any time in Settings > Privacy / Ad consent; Analytics collection is disabled when the required Analytics consent is absent or withdrawn. You may request access to, correction or deletion of personal data, or object to processing, by contacting app.fbmb@gmail.com. EEA, UK and California residents also have the rights provided by their local law, including the right to know, delete, opt out where applicable and not be discriminated against for exercising those rights.

Children

Mole Smash 3D is designed for a general and family audience, but it is not directed primarily at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal data from them. Store/review and sharing actions are protected by a parental gate; privacy and support remain directly accessible. Ads are limited according to the consent choices. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

The Service Provider takes reasonable measures to protect the data and will notify users of data breaches where required by law.

Changes

This policy may be updated; changes will be published on this page with a new effective date.
