Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

• Nickname: when you submit a leaderboard score or play an online duel, BitBouncer may process the nickname you choose. Nicknames are limited and sanitized, but you should not include personal information in them.
• Reply email: if you submit the privacy request form and choose to provide an email address, we use it only to respond to that request.
• Beta tester signup information: if you join the Android beta tester list, we collect the email address you provide and any optional name, device details or message you include.
• Privacy-preserving landing analytics: on BitBouncer.io we count only landing page views, gameplay preview plays and successful beta signup submissions. Each event is stored only as a total for the UTC day and the allowed page path.
• Landing analytics do not use cookies, local storage, session storage, fingerprinting, user or session identifiers, advertising identifiers, or third-party analytics. We do not store IP addresses, user agents or referrers with these events.
• Your browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals are respected. If either signal opts out, the landing page does not send analytics events.
• Gameplay data: scores, difficulty mode, match state, room codes and similar gameplay information are used to run leaderboards and real-time 1v1 matches.
• Network and security data: our backend may process your IP address in memory and store a hashed version where needed for abuse prevention, score integrity and socket/session protection.
• Diagnostics: if crash reporting is enabled in the production build, technical diagnostics such as app version, device/browser information and error details may be sent to Sentry so we can fix crashes. We do not intentionally send email addresses or raw IP addresses in those events.
• Local device data: settings, audio preferences, high scores and temporary session state may be stored locally on your device to keep the game working between sessions.

How We Use Information

• To provide the game, online duels, room joining, score submission and Hall of Fame leaderboard features.
• To protect the service from abuse, fake scores and unreliable multiplayer sessions.
• To manage Android beta tester invitations and understand which devices are being tested.
• To understand, only through aggregate daily totals, whether visitors view the landing page, play the gameplay preview and successfully submit a beta request.
• To diagnose crashes, improve performance and maintain game reliability.
• To remember local preferences such as sound, haptics and visual settings.

Sharing

• We do not sell personal data and we do not use advertising identifiers.
• Landing analytics are operated by BitBouncer without third-party analytics providers and contain no personal or device identifiers.
• Leaderboard entries may display your chosen nickname, score, difficulty mode and submission date publicly.
• Crash diagnostics may be processed by Sentry if diagnostics are enabled. Hosting and infrastructure providers may process data only as needed to operate BitBouncer.

Security, Retention and Deletion

• Data sent to the production service is transmitted over HTTPS/TLS.
• Online room/session data is temporary and expires when rooms close or after inactivity.
• Landing analytics are retained for no more than 90 days. Older UTC daily totals are automatically purged whenever an event is recorded or analytics are consulted.
• Leaderboard entries are retained so the Hall of Fame can work. You can request deletion of leaderboard entries associated with your nickname by contacting us.
• Diagnostic data, if enabled, is retained according to the crash-reporting provider settings and used only for reliability and debugging.

Children

• BitBouncer is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will review and delete it where appropriate.
