Black Hole Bloom ("the App") is a mobile game developed and provided by Trevor Youngquist ("we," "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and shared when you use the App.
1) No Accounts
The App does not require you to create an account and does not include login features.
2) Information We Collect
We do not ask you to provide personal information to play. Some information may still be collected automatically to operate the App, serve ads, process purchases, and improve stability.
A) Information Collected Automatically
Depending on your device and the services used in the App, the App and its service providers may collect:
- Device information (device model, operating system version, language/region)
- Identifiers used for advertising and fraud prevention (for example, the Android Advertising ID or other device/app identifiers)
- Approximate location (often inferred from IP address)
- App activity / usage data (such as app interactions, session duration, ad interactions)
- Diagnostics (crash logs and performance data)
B) Information You Provide
Feedback: If you submit feedback through the App (for example via email or a feedback form), we receive the information you choose to send (such as message text and an email address if you include it).
3) Advertising
The App includes ads. Ads are provided by third-party advertising partners. These partners may collect and use information (such as device identifiers, IP address, and app activity) to:
- Show ads in the App
- Measure ad performance and frequency
- Detect and prevent fraud/abuse
- And, where permitted, personalize ads
Your choices: You can usually limit ad personalization using your Android settings (for example, Google > Ads).
4) In-App Purchases
The App may offer in-app purchases (including an option to remove ads). Purchases are processed by the app store provider (such as Google Play). We do not receive your full payment card details. We may receive purchase confirmations and product information to unlock content and support purchase restoration.
5) Reviews
The App may prompt you to leave a review using Google Play's in-app review flow. Any review you choose to submit is handled by Google Play under its policies.
6) How We Use Information
Information is used to:
- Operate and improve the App
- Serve ads and measure ad performance
- Process and restore purchases
- Troubleshoot bugs and crashes
- Respond to feedback/support requests
- Detect and prevent fraud/abuse
7) Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information.
We may share information with:
- Advertising partners (to serve and measure ads)
- The app store/provider (to process purchases and distribute the App)
- Service providers used for app operations (for example, crash reporting or analytics providers, if used)
- Legal authorities if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and prevent fraud
8) Children and Families
The App is family-friendly and may be used by children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided personal information to us through the App (for example, by sending an email), please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Because the App includes ads and may include in-app purchases, parents and guardians should supervise children's use of the App and device settings.
9) Data Retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described above. Purchase records are managed by the app store.
10) Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
11) Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting an updated version.
