The short version

Bubble Bloom keeps gameplay state on the iPhone and requires no account. Optional rewarded ads are child-directed, non-personalized, consent-gated, and supplied by Google Mobile Ads and its User Messaging Platform; optional diamond purchases use Apple App Store services.

Google Mobile Ads and its User Messaging Platform may process device identifiers, approximate location, advertising data, product interaction, crash, performance, and diagnostic data when an optional rewarded ad is requested. Bubble Bloom disables ad personalization and publisher first-party identifiers, tags requests for children and users under the age of consent, applies a General content ceiling, and waits for consent eligibility before requesting an ad.

No Bubble Bloom account or developer-operated gameplay server. Gameplay and economy state stay local; Apple processes optional purchases, and Google processes consent and rewarded-ad data.

Bubble Bloom does not send the player’s board, taps, level results, life count, diamond balance, chosen power, or settings to Google as custom ad-targeting fields. Google’s advertising SDK can still process device, network, advertising, interaction, performance, and diagnostic information as described below.

Gameplay requires no account or Y Corp Technologies server, and progress, preferences, diamonds, lives, and reward pacing remain on the iPhone.

Developer and scope

This policy describes Bubble Bloom version 1.0 for iPhone, provided by Y Corp Technologies. It covers the app’s use of Google Mobile Ads 13.7.0, Google User Messaging Platform 3.1.0, and Apple StoreKit.

Ad availability is not guaranteed, and this policy does not state that Google has approved unrestricted ad serving. The separate Y Corp Technologies website privacy notice describes this website, email contact, and hosting logs.

Information stored locally by Bubble Bloom

Bubble Bloom can store the following in its iPhone app container:

• Unlocked and completed levels, results, map position, and saved attempt state.
• Pop-sound, haptic, and other app preferences.
• Current lives, the next refill time, and the last observed time used to resist backwards-clock changes.
• Earned and purchased diamond balances, purchase-delivery records, and refund-reconciliation state.
• Random starting and rewarded powers fixed for a level attempt.
• Completed rewarded-ad impression identifiers, timestamps, attempt identifiers, and pending reward state used to enforce limits and prevent duplicate grants.

Active board and animation state may also exist in memory during play. There is no Bubble Bloom username, profile, developer-operated cloud save, or remote gameplay database.

When rewarded ads are requested and shown

Rewarded ads are always optional; Bubble Bloom does not use banner, app-open, automatic interstitial, rewarded-interstitial, or other forced ad formats.

The app first asks User Messaging Platform for current consent information. It starts Google Mobile Ads and prepares rewarded inventory only when Google reports that ads may be requested. An ad can be prepared before the player taps a reward button, but a full-screen ad is presented only after an explicit choice.

• A completed Life ad grants one life when the bank has room, up to three rewarded lives in a rolling 24-hour period.
• A completed Power ad grants one additional Smart Pop, Meteor, or Cross Wave use for the current attempt, at most once per attempt.
• Each power outcome is approximately one in three (33.33%), is fixed from the attempt’s random identity, and is not selected from personal or advertising data.
• Closing, dismissing, or failing an ad before Google emits the earned event grants no reward and causes no gameplay penalty.

Ad availability is not guaranteed. The ordinary alternatives are to wait for a life to refill, use earned diamonds when eligible, or continue with the attempt’s starting power.

An optional rewarded ad may grant one life without exceeding the three-life bank, up to three completed life rewards in a rolling 24 hours, or one extra power per attempt; Smart Pop, Meteor, and Cross Wave each have a 1-in-3 chance, and the rewarded power may match the starting power.

Google Mobile Ads data

Google Mobile Ads 13.7.0 declares the following categories in its embedded Apple privacy manifest. Actual processing can depend on device, region, privacy status, ad availability, Google settings, and the ad served.

• Coarse Location, Advertising Data, Product Interaction, and Device ID may be linked to a user for third-party advertising, developer advertising, and analytics.
• Performance Data and Other Diagnostic Data are declared as not linked to a user and used for advertising and analytics purposes.
• Crash Data is declared as not linked to a user and used for analytics.
• Device ID is the category Google’s embedded manifest declares as used for tracking. The other listed categories are declared as not used for tracking in that manifest.

A network connection, including an IP address, is needed to request an ad. Google may use permitted data for ad delivery, frequency controls, reporting, security, fraud prevention, performance, and diagnostics, and may make aggregated ad reports and earnings information available to Y Corp Technologies.

Google User Messaging Platform data

User Messaging Platform 3.1.0 requests updated consent information at app launch, presents a Google-managed message when required, reports whether ads may be requested, and reports whether an ongoing Privacy Choices entry point is required.

Its embedded Apple privacy manifest declares Coarse Location, Performance Data, and Product Interaction for app functionality. Those categories are declared as not linked to a user and not used for tracking. Google or an applicable consent framework may retain privacy and consent signals so later requests can honor them.

Children, ad treatment, and tracking

Optional ads use child-directed treatment, an under-age-of-consent tag, a General content ceiling, disabled ad personalization and publisher first-party identifiers, non-personalized requests, and a consent gate before any ad request.

Bubble Bloom is positioned for children, families, and calm-puzzle players. Configured ad builds mark requests for child-directed treatment and mark the user as under the age of consent for UMP. They set Google’s maximum ad content rating to General, disable publisher-controlled ad personalization, and disable Google’s publisher first-party identifier.

Bubble Bloom does not request Apple App Tracking Transparency permission or access to the ATT-protected advertising identifier. Google Mobile Ads nevertheless declares linked Device ID use for tracking in its own embedded privacy manifest. The child-directed, non-personalized configuration limits requests; it does not mean that Google processes no data or that every jurisdiction uses the same definition of tracking, sale, or sharing.

Bubble Bloom does not ask a child for a name, age, email address, precise location, school, or parental details. It has no account, chat, public profile, social feed, or user-generated content. A parent or guardian should assist with support contact and any purchase decision. See the Parent and Guardian Guide.

Apple purchases

Optional Apple consumable purchases add device-local diamonds; purchased diamonds are not restorable after app deletion or a device change.

Bubble Bloom uses StoreKit for four consumable diamond packs. Apple controls product availability, localized price, payment, storefront, receipt, refund, and purchase-history data. Bubble Bloom receives verified transaction data needed to deliver or reconcile diamonds, but does not receive a payment-card number or Apple Account password.

Sharing, sale, and purposes

Y Corp Technologies does not sell a player’s local gameplay or economy records. Those records are not uploaded to Y Corp Technologies. Apple receives purchase requests chosen by the user, and Google receives consent and ad requests as described here. Depending on applicable law, Google’s advertising processing may be described as sharing, targeted advertising, or tracking even when Bubble Bloom requests restricted, non-personalized treatment.

Permissions and Apple-protected resources

Bubble Bloom requests no access to the camera, photo library, microphone, speech recognition, precise location, contacts, calendars, motion data, Bluetooth, local network, or notifications. Optional sounds use audio output and optional haptics use system feedback without recording audio or gathering sensor data.

Retention, deletion, and backups

Local records remain until the app changes them, the player resets the applicable state, or the app is removed. Reset Level Progress does not erase every economy, purchase, provider, or preference record. Removing Bubble Bloom removes its local app container, subject to Apple-managed backups that may retain and later restore app data.

Removing the app does not delete Apple purchase history, Google-held ad or consent records, support email, or an Apple-managed backup. Y Corp Technologies cannot look up Google or Apple records by a Bubble Bloom username because no such account exists. Use the provider controls listed on Privacy Choices.

Support correspondence

Emailing support is optional and occurs outside Bubble Bloom. The sender provides an email address, message, and any device details or attachments they choose to include. Y Corp Technologies uses that information to answer the request and maintain reasonably necessary support records; it is not used for advertising.

A user may ask to delete a support conversation by emailing the same address, subject to limited legal or recordkeeping needs. A parent or guardian should contact support for a child. Do not send passwords, payment credentials, full receipts, a child’s precise location, or unnecessary sensitive information.

Security and international processing

Local records rely on Apple’s app sandbox and device protections. Network transmissions to Apple and Google use their SDKs and services. No security measure is perfect. Apple, Google, email, and hosting providers may process information in countries other than the user’s country under their own terms and safeguards.

Choices, changes, and contact

See Privacy Choices for ad controls, local deletion, provider links, and rights requests. This policy will be updated before a material change to the described practices is released. Privacy questions and inappropriate-ad reports can be sent to mannykin333@gmail.com.
