Balloon Dojo — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 14 October 2026 · NovaCode Dynamics Inc.

You can play Balloon Dojo without creating an account. If you choose optional Google or Apple sign-in, we process the provider identifier to operate your account and synchronize supported progress. We do not ask for your phone number or precise location. This page explains, as plainly as we can, what the game collects and why.

1. What we collect

Game saves and optional accounts

Progress, coins and inventory are stored locally and automatically backed up to our server under a random guest-save identifier when online. This backup is separate from optional usage analytics. Signing in with Google or Apple links the save to that provider's account identifier; we do not receive your password. You can restore progress by signing into the same account on another device. A guest backup may become inaccessible if its installation identifier is deleted. Sound, language and consent preferences stay on the device.

Usage data sent to us

If you consent, the game sends pseudonymous event records so we can see where players get stuck:

WhatExampleWhy
Random install identifier3f7c… (NOT a device ID — a random string the game generates itself)To connect one player's progress across sessions
Session and attempt identifiersa91b…To match the start and end of an attempt
Level eventslevel 24 started · lost · 9 throws · 41 seconds · 3 balloons leftWhich level players fail on
Economy events+35 coins (level) · ad watched · no_ads purchasedWhether prices and ad frequency are right
Error recordsfirst 180 characters of the error messageTo find crashes
Version1.1Which build a problem belongs to

That is all. Our server does not record your IP address, and it accepts only the whitelisted fields above — anything else is dropped.

2. Where it is stored

Usage data is kept on our own server and PostgreSQL database hosted on Railway, running in the Netherlands (europe-west4) region. We do not sell data to third parties.

3. Advertising

The game is free and shows ads. In the store builds, ads are served by a third-party ad network (Google AdMob). With your permission, the network may use your device's advertising identifier to personalise ads. If you refuse, ads are shown without personalisation — ads are not chosen based on your interests. No ad is loaded when Google’s consent system does not permit ad requests.

On iOS this permission is requested through the system's App Tracking Transparency prompt. In the European Union, Google's consent screen is shown. You may decline both; the game keeps working.

Buying Remove ads removes full-screen ads entirely.

4. Purchases

Payments are handled by the Apple App Store and Google Play. Your card details are never entered into the game and never reach us; the payment screen belongs to the store. We only receive the fact that an item was bought, plus the store's verification receipt.

5. Consent and withdrawing it

The first time you open the game you are asked whether usage data may be collected. If you decline, no events are sent and ads are not personalised. You can change your mind at any time under Settings → Data & privacy.

6. Deleting your account and your data

App: Balloon Dojo — NovaCode Dynamics Inc.

From inside the app (fastest): Settings → Account → Delete account. After you confirm twice, your account record, cloud progress, local account save and associated usage events are deleted. Old sessions become invalid. Automatic backup stops until you sign in again.

To delete your account by email: from the email address registered to the account you signed in with (Google or Apple), send an email titled “Account deletion — Balloon Dojo” to info@novacodedynamics.com. We delete your account and the save tied to it within 30 days of receiving the request, and write back to the same address once it is done.

If you use the game without an account: the Settings screen shows the first eight characters of your install identifier. Send that string to the same address and we will delete every record tied to it. Progress stored on your device can be erased by you at any time with Settings → Reset progress.

What is deleted: your account record on the server (the provider identifier), your cloud save, and the usage events tied to that identifier. What is kept: purchase records are retained in a form with the direct account link removed, to verify transactions and prevent duplicate receipt grants; the store that took the payment (Google Play / App Store) keeps its own records, which are not ours to delete.

7. Children

Balloon Dojo is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.

8. Changes

If this policy changes, the date above is updated. For a significant change we ask for your consent again.
