Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how BOLT INTERACTIVE PLT (LLP0019699-LGN) (“we”, “us”, or “Bolt Interactive”), a limited liability partnership registered in Malaysia, handles information in connection with the mobile game Sling Bowl (iOS and Android; application identifier com.boltstudio.slingbowl).
1. Information we collect
Sling Bowl has no accounts or sign-in. We, the developer, do not collect personal data from you when you play the game.
Your progress and settings are stored locally on your device. That information stays on the device and is not uploaded to our servers.
2. Advertising
Versions of Sling Bowl that show ads (currently iOS; a future Android update may add them) use Google AdMob to show interstitial ads (between stages) and rewarded ads (for example, an optional extra ball). In those versions, Google AdMob may collect device identifiers (IDFA on iOS, and AAID if ads are later added on Android), IP address, coarse location, and ad interaction and diagnostic data, for advertising, measurement, and fraud prevention.
The current Android version contains no ads and does not use the advertising ID.
You can read Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy and how Google uses data from partner apps at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
3. Consent and advertising choices
In versions that show ads (currently iOS), we present consent choices where required through Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP), including for users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and other regions where this is required. On iOS, the app may also show Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt.
You can opt out of personalized ads through your device settings. On iOS, this includes Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking, and Apple’s advertising settings. If a future Android version includes ads, you will be able to use your Google Ads or privacy settings in the same way. Choosing not to see personalized ads, or declining tracking, does not necessarily remove all ads.
4. In-app purchases
The iOS version offers an optional in-app purchase called “Remove Ads”. Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your payment card details.
Buying Remove Ads turns off interstitial ads. Rewarded ads may remain available as an optional feature you can choose to use.
The current Android version does not include in-app purchases. A future Android update may add them; if it does, purchases would be processed by Google through the Play Store, and we would still not receive or store your payment card details.
5. Children’s privacy
Sling Bowl is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data through the game or, in versions that show ads, through our advertising partners, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it where it is within our control.
6. Data retention
Because we do not collect personal data ourselves, we do not retain personal data on our servers. Progress and settings remain on your device until you delete the app or clear the app’s data. Where a version uses advertising or in-app purchases, those partners may retain information according to their own policies.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data, or to object to or restrict certain processing. Because we do not hold personal data about you, most requests relating to gameplay can be fulfilled by deleting the app or clearing its local data on your device.
To make an access or deletion request, or to ask a question about this policy, email us at boltstudiogames@gmail.com. For information held by Google in connection with ads, you may also use the controls and rights described in Google’s privacy policy.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page and post the revised policy at this URL: https://bolt-interactive.com/sling-bowl/privacy.
