This privacy policy explains how the mobile game Tabimo ("the App", "we", "us")
handles information when you use it. The App is developed and published by Tim Wright as a sole
trader. We are committed to keeping data collection to the minimum required to operate the App.
1. Information we collect
The App itself does not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect your
name, email address, contacts, photos, precise location, or any other personal information that
directly identifies you.
The App displays advertising through Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads,
Google's advertising SDK may automatically collect and process:
Your device's Advertising ID (a resettable identifier).
Device and technical information such as device model, operating system version, language,
and general (coarse, non-precise) location inferred from your IP address.
Ad interaction data, such as whether an ad was shown, viewed, or tapped, and the revenue
associated with an ad being shown.
The App also uses Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the App is used
so we can improve it. This collects:
An app instance identifier — a random identifier for your installation of the
App. It is not your name or email, and it is reset if you uninstall the App.
Device and technical information such as device model, operating system version, language, App
version, and the country inferred from your IP address. Your IP address itself is not retained.
In-app activity, such as when the App is opened, how long a session lasts, which screens are
viewed, and events describing progress through the game.
We use this only in aggregate — to see, for example, how many people finish the tutorial or which
levels people stop playing at. We do not attempt to identify individual players.
The App also uses Firebase Performance Monitoring to measure how smoothly it runs on
different devices, so we can find and fix the ones where the game stutters. This collects:
A Firebase installation identifier — a random identifier for your installation of
the App, separate from the analytics identifier above. It is not your name or email, and it is
reset if you uninstall the App.
Device and technical information such as device model, operating system version, App version,
available memory and storage, network connection type and mobile carrier, and the country
inferred from your IP address.
Performance measurements, such as how long the App takes to start, how quickly the screen draws
its frames, and how long the App's own network requests take to complete, including the addresses
those requests are sent to.
All of this data is collected directly by Google and is governed by Google's own privacy policy.
We do not receive or store this information in an identifiable form ourselves.
2. How the information is used
To display advertisements within the App, including personalised ads where permitted.
To measure ad performance and prevent fraud and abuse.
To understand how the App is used in aggregate, so we can improve the game and see which
changes help.
To measure how well our advertising campaigns work, by counting how many people installed the
App after seeing an advert.
To measure how well the App performs on real devices, so we can improve frame rates and fix
problems that only appear on particular hardware.
To keep the App running and stable.
3. Third-party services
The App uses the following third-party services, which may collect information as described above:
You can reset or delete your Advertising ID, or opt out of ad personalisation, in your
device's settings (on Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads).
Where required by law, the App will request your consent before showing personalised ads,
and you can decline.
Opting out of ad personalisation in your device settings also stops analytics data being used
to personalise advertising.
Uninstalling the App stops any further analytics data being collected, and the app instance
identifier is discarded. Because the data is not linked to your identity, we are not able to
locate an individual person's records on request.
5. Children's privacy
The App is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13
(or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal
information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please
contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
6. Data retention
We do not maintain our own servers or databases of user data. Any data collected by Google AdMob
Google Analytics for Firebase or Firebase Performance Monitoring is retained and managed by Google in
accordance with its policies.
Analytics event data is kept for a maximum of 14 months, after which it is deleted automatically.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this
page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes take effect
constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
