1. Who we are

Pebble Pop is made by JTR Labs LLC (“JTR Labs”, “we”, “us”), a software studio in the United States. This policy explains what happens to your information when you play Pebble Pop or visit jtrlabs.com/pebblepop. Questions go to [email protected].

2. What JTR Labs collects

You can play without creating a Pebble Pop account. Your device stores your game progress. Google and Apple receive information when you use the services described below.

If you email us for support, we receive what you choose to send (such as your email address and message) and use it only to answer you.

Advertising and privacy choices

In versions with advertising enabled, Pebble Pop uses Google AdMob on Android, iPhone and iPad. When the app requests an ad, the Google Mobile Ads SDK can send information to Google even if the ad never appears. Google uses this information to deliver and measure ads, diagnose problems and prevent fraud. Depending on your region, device settings and choices, ads may be personalized.

Android. Google may receive your IP address (which can indicate your approximate location), device or app identifiers including the Android advertising ID when available, ad views and taps, and performance or diagnostic information. You can manage your advertising ID in Android’s privacy settings. Google’s Android SDK data disclosures.

iPhone and iPad. Google may receive your IP address, device and app information, ad views and taps, and performance or diagnostic information. Pebble Pop does not ask for Apple’s tracking permission. Without that permission the iOS advertising identifier (IDFA) is unavailable. Google’s iOS SDK data disclosures.

Your choices. In ad-enabled versions, Google’s User Messaging Platform checks whether a privacy message is required. Where applicable, it presents choices before the app requests ads. To revisit those choices when available, open Settings → Privacy → Ad privacy choices in Pebble Pop. Google explains its use of data from partner apps and the controls available to you in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

3. What stays on your phone

The game saves the following on your device so it’s there next time you play:

• Best scores (per mode), Daily Challenge best and day streak
• Coins, owned and equipped cosmetics, which one-time products you own (for example the Supporter Pack or Coin Doubler), and your Pebble Pass progress
• Missions and their progress
• Lifetime stats such as games played, things popped and best combo
• Settings: sound, music, vibration, slingshot side and the bird-ring option

This data stays in the app’s private storage. Android may include it in your own device backup if you’ve turned backups on; that backup is handled by Google under your Google account, and JTR Labs never sees it. Uninstalling Pebble Pop deletes it from your phone.

4. Google Play Games (leaderboards and cloud save)

Pebble Pop uses Google Play Games Services, provided by Google LLC. Using it is optional: the game works fully without it.

Sign-in

If you use Google Play Games on your phone, it may sign you in automatically when the game starts, and you can sign in from the leaderboard button or Settings. Signing in links your play to your Play Games player ID and gamer name. JTR Labs doesn’t receive your email address or Google account details.

Leaderboards

While you’re signed in, the scores from Classic and Daily Challenge rounds are sent to Google so they can appear on the High Scores and Daily Challenge leaderboards next to your Play Games name and avatar. Who can see them follows your Play Games profile visibility (everyone, friends only, or only you), which you control in Google Play Games.

Cloud save

While you’re signed in, the game keeps a copy of your progress in your Google Play Games Saved Games so it can come back on a new phone: coins, cosmetics and purchases, best scores, missions, Daily Challenge streak and lifetime stats. It’s a short list of numbers. It doesn’t contain your name, contacts or location, and your settings (sound, music, vibration, slingshot side, bird rings) aren’t copied. The save is stored by Google in your account; JTR Labs can’t read it.

What Google collects

Google Play Games may also collect device and usage information, such as diagnostics, to run the service. That is handled by Google under the Google Privacy Policy. Google’s description of what Play Games collects is at developer.android.com/games/pgs/data-collection.

5. Purchases

Coin packs, the Supporter Pack, Starter Pack, Coin Doubler, holiday sets and the Pebble Pass are sold through Google Play Billing. Google processes the payment and keeps your order history under the Google Payments Privacy Notice. The game receives only what it needs to deliver your purchase: which product you bought and a purchase token to confirm it with Google Play. We never see your card number, billing address or other payment details.

6. On iPhone and iPad

On iPhone and iPad, Apple provides the leaderboard, cloud backup and purchase services described below. The iOS advertising notice also applies to ad-enabled versions.

• Game Center (leaderboards): if you’re signed in to Game Center on your device, scores from Classic and Daily Challenge rounds are sent to Apple for the High Scores and Daily Challenge leaderboards, next to your Game Center nickname. Apple runs Game Center under the Apple Privacy Policy; you can sign out or change who sees you in Settings → Game Center.
• iCloud (progress backup): if you’re signed in to iCloud, the game keeps the same short list of numbers described in section 4 (coins, cosmetics and purchases, best scores, missions, streak and stats; never your settings) in your iCloud account, so it comes back on a new iPhone. It’s stored by Apple; JTR Labs can’t read it. You can turn it off in Settings → [your name] → iCloud.
• App Store (purchases): coin packs and the other in-app products are sold through Apple. Apple processes the payment; the game only learns which product you bought, to deliver it. “Restore purchases” in the game’s Settings asks Apple for the purchases on your Apple Account.
• Sharing uses the iOS share sheet; the picture goes only where you send it.
• Permissions: none. The iOS app doesn’t ask for location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos, notifications or tracking, and does not request access to the IDFA.

Deleting it on iOS: delete the app to remove everything on the device. To remove the iCloud copy, go to Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage (or iCloud.com) and delete Pebble Pop’s data. To remove Game Center scores, go to Settings → Game Center and remove the game, or contact Apple.

7. Sharing a score card

The share button on the round-over card creates a picture of your score (score, mode, stats, date) and opens Android’s share sheet. The picture and a short message go only to the app and people you choose. JTR Labs never receives them. The picture is kept in the app’s cache until the next one replaces it, and is deleted if you clear the app’s storage or uninstall.

8. Permissions

Pebble Pop doesn’t request location, camera, microphone, contacts, storage or notification permissions.

9. Summary of data and who handles it

10. Deleting your data

Pebble Pop has no accounts of its own. Here is how to delete each kind of data:

• On your phone: uninstall Pebble Pop, or go to Android Settings → Apps → Pebble Pop → Storage → Clear storage.
• Leaderboard scores and the cloud save:
  1. Open play.google.com/games/profile (or the Google Play Games app) signed in with the account you play with.
  2. Go to settings and choose Delete Play Games data, then pick Pebble Pop to delete that game’s data, or delete your whole Play Games profile.
  This removes your scores from the leaderboards and your saved progress for Pebble Pop. Google may keep some records as described in its privacy policy.
• Purchase records: these are kept by Google Play as part of your order history; manage them through your Google account.
• Advertising data: clearing the game removes its local data. For data already received by Google, see Google’s privacy policy and data controls.
• Support emails: ask us at [email protected] and we’ll delete our copies.

Need help? Email [email protected] and we’ll walk you through it.

11. How long data is kept

Data on your phone stays until you clear it or uninstall. Play Games data stays in your Google account until you delete it as above, subject to Google’s retention practices. We keep support emails only as long as needed to help you, and delete them on request.

12. Security

Game data is stored in the app’s private storage on your device. Everything the game sends to Google travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Purchases are verified by Google Play. Google describes the protections for advertising data in its privacy policy.

13. Children

Pebble Pop is rated Everyone / PEGI 3 for its content but is intended for players aged 13 and older. Google Play Games sign-in and purchases are governed by Google’s own policies, including its rules and parental controls for children’s accounts. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, for example by email, contact us and we’ll delete it.

14. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR or California’s CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or port your personal information, to object to or restrict processing, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. For advertising preferences, see your ad privacy choices. For saved game data, see deleting your data. For anything we do hold, such as support emails, write to [email protected] and we’ll respond within 30 days. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

Where GDPR applies, our legal basis for handling support emails is our legitimate interest in answering you. Google acts as an independent controller (or as our service provider, as described in Google’s terms) for Play Games and Play Billing data.

15. International users

JTR Labs is based in the United States. Data handled by Google may be processed in the United States and other countries where Google operates, under Google’s safeguards for international transfers.

16. This website

jtrlabs.com/pebblepop doesn’t use cookies, analytics or tracking scripts. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address and browser details when the page loads (see the Google Privacy Policy). Our hosting and network provider may keep standard server logs, such as IP address and pages requested, for security and reliability.

17. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we’ll update it here and change the effective date at the top. If a change materially affects how your information is handled, we’ll also note it in the app’s release notes before it takes effect.
