Cosmic Kite (“we”, “us”) publishes Fruit Cannon (package / bundle id
com.cosmickite.bbgame) on the App Store and
Google Play. This policy explains how the app handles information.
We have no servers and no accounts. We do not collect any personal information ourselves, and your game progress is stored only on your device.
From version 1.4.0 onwards, the app shows advertising, provided by Google AdMob. Earlier versions contain no advertising and collect nothing for it. Ads are optional and opt-in: you choose to watch a short video in exchange for something in the game, and the whole game can be played without ever watching one. To serve those ads, Google collects certain information about your device — described under Advertising below, along with the choices you have about it.
From version 1.5.0 onwards, the app also uses Google Firebase Analytics to understand how the game is played — which levels are hard, whether the tutorial works, how long sessions last. Earlier versions contain no analytics. This is about the game rather than about you: there is no account, and we never learn who you are. It is described under Analytics below.
The app also offers optional in-app purchases of diamonds, an in-game currency. Payment is handled entirely by Apple or Google; we never see your card or payment details. See In-app purchases below.
The app may save the following locally on your phone or tablet using on-device storage:
This data stays on your device, is not transmitted to our servers — we do not operate any — and is removed if you uninstall the app or clear the app’s storage.
Diamonds can be bought with real money through the App Store or Google Play. The purchase is processed by Apple or Google under their own terms and privacy policies, using the account you are signed in with on your device. We do not receive your name, email address, or payment card details.
The app receives from the store only what it needs to deliver the purchase: which item was bought, its price and currency, and a transaction identifier. Diamonds are added to your balance on your device. There is no server of ours involved, and diamonds are not linked to an account, so uninstalling the app or clearing its storage removes any unspent diamonds. The item bought and its price are also recorded in our analytics so we can see which items sell.
Purchases are optional: the whole game can be played without buying anything. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their refund policies.
Fruit Cannon shows rewarded video ads only. There are no banners, no ads between levels, and no ads that appear without you asking for one. You tap a button offering a reward, watch a video, and receive that reward. Nothing in the game requires watching an ad to progress.
Ads are served by Google AdMob, a Google service. Google acts as an independent controller of the data it collects through the ads in this app. Google’s handling of that data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy; see also How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
We do not currently use any other advertising network. If we add one, this policy will be updated to name it before that version ships.
To select, deliver and measure ads, Google may collect and process:
This information is collected by Google, not by us. We never receive it. What we see is aggregate reporting in the AdMob console — totals such as how many ads were watched — which does not identify anyone.
We use Google Firebase Analytics to see how the game is actually played, so we can fix the parts that do not work. There is no account and no login, so nothing here identifies you personally — what we look at is patterns across everyone playing.
This information is collected and processed by Google as our service provider, under the Firebase data processing terms and the Google Privacy Policy. We see it as reports and as a database of these events. We do not combine it with anything else, because there is nothing else to combine it with.
We do not use it to build a profile of you, to target you individually, or to sell anything to anyone.
Before any ad is requested, the app shows a consent form provided by Google’s User Messaging Platform, a Google-certified consent management platform. You can consent, refuse, or manage individual purposes and vendors. Refusing is not a penalty: ads still work, they are simply non-personalised, and the game is unaffected either way.
You can change or withdraw that choice at any time: open the settings (gear) icon on the main menu and choose the privacy option, which reopens the same form.
Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt asks whether the app may track you across other companies’ apps and websites. If you decline, the IDFA is not used and ads become non-personalised. You can change this later in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
The app presents a data preferences form allowing you to opt out of the sale or sharing of your data for advertising. You can reach it from the same settings icon on the main menu. Depending on your state, you may also have rights to know about, access, correct, or delete personal information; requests can be made using the contact details below, though note that we hold no personal information ourselves.
You can reset or limit your advertising identifier at the operating-system level:
You can also opt out of personalised advertising from Google at adssettings.google.com.
We operate no servers and no backend of our own. The advertising and analytics information described above goes to Google, not to a system we run, and reaches us only as reports and event records that do not identify you.
Fruit Cannon is intended for players aged 13 and over and is not directed to children under 13. It is not part of Google Play’s Designed for Families programme, and it is not in the Apple App Store Kids category. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has used the app and you have concerns, contact us using the details below.
Data stored on your device remains until you uninstall the app or clear its storage. Data collected by Google for advertising is retained according to Google’s own policies, linked above. Analytics events are retained by Google for up to 14 months, and a copy is kept in our Google BigQuery project for as long as it is useful for improving the game. If you would like the analytics records for your installation deleted, contact us using the details below and we will do what we can — though without an account there is often no way for us to tell which records are yours. Reinstalling the app or clearing its data resets the identifier, after which nothing new is associated with the old one.
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
