Last updated: June 17, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how the iOS application Bloop: Sky Run ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use it.
Bloop: Sky Run is an offline endless runner game developed by an independent developer. We do not operate any servers, and we do not maintain user accounts. The only data collected is what is required to display ads and to participate in Apple's Game Center leaderboards, as described below.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Game Data Stored Only on Your Device
The App stores the following data locally on your device using Apple's `UserDefaults`:
- Your best distance (high score)
- Lifetime coins collected
- Total games played
- Sound on/off preference
- Whether ads have been removed (for future use)
This data is never transmitted to us or to any third party. It exists only on your device and is deleted when you uninstall the App.
1.2 Game Center Data (Handled by Apple)
If you use the Leaderboard feature, the App submits your best distance to Apple's Game Center. Game Center is operated by Apple, not by us. The information involved includes:
- Your Game Center nickname/alias (chosen by you in iOS Settings)
- Your best distance score
- Your Apple-generated Game Center player identifier
Apple handles this data under their [Game Center Terms and Conditions](https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/gamecenter/) and [Privacy Policy](https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/).
1.3 Advertising Identifiers (Handled by Google AdMob)
The App displays advertisements served by Google AdMob. To serve relevant ads, AdMob may collect:
- Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) — only if you grant tracking permission via the App Tracking Transparency prompt
- Device type, operating system version, and locale
- Approximate location based on your IP address
- Ad interaction events (impressions, clicks)
If you decline tracking, AdMob still serves ads, but they will not be personalized to you.
For details on what AdMob collects and how it is used, refer to [Google's Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy) and the [AdMob Programme Policies](https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543).
2. How We Use Information
We do not use the data above for any purpose beyond the following:
| Data | Purpose |
| Local game data | Maintain your progress between sessions on your device |
| Game Center data | Display Apple Game Center leaderboards |
| Advertising identifiers | Serve and measure advertisements via Google AdMob |
We do not analyze player behaviour beyond what AdMob does for ad delivery. We do not maintain a server-side profile of any user.
3. Third-Party Services
The App uses the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy practices governed by the linked policies.
| Service | Provided by | Privacy Policy |
| Google AdMob (advertising) | Google LLC | https://policies.google.com/privacy |
| Apple Game Center (leaderboards) | Apple Inc. | https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/ |
| Siren (in-app update prompt) | Open-source library; no data leaves your device | N/A |
We do not share, sell, or rent any data to any party other than as required to operate the services listed above.
4. App Tracking Transparency (iOS 14.5+)
On first launch, iOS will display the standard App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt:
> This identifier will be used to show ads that are more relevant to you and help keep Bloop free.
You may choose Allow or Ask App Not To Track at any time.
- If you allow tracking, AdMob may use your IDFA to serve personalized ads.
- If you decline tracking, you will still see ads, but they will be non-personalized.
You can change this preference any time in Settings → Bloop → Allow Tracking.
5. Children's Privacy
Bloop: Sky Run is rated 4+ and is suitable for all audiences, but it is not specifically directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us using the address below. We will work with Apple and Google to remove any such information promptly.
6. Your Choices
You can control your data through the following:
- Turn off ad tracking: Settings → Bloop → Allow Tracking → Off
- Reset Advertising Identifier: Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising → Reset Advertising Identifier
- Disable personalized ads system-wide: Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising → Personalized Ads → Off
- Sign out of Game Center: Settings → Game Center → Sign Out
- Delete all local game data: Uninstall Bloop: Sky Run from your device
7. Data Retention
| Data | Retained for |
| Game data on your device | Until you uninstall the App |
| Game Center leaderboard scores | Per Apple's Game Center retention policy |
| AdMob data | Per Google's data retention policies |
We do not maintain backups, exports, or any server-side copy of any user data.
8. Data Security
Because we do not operate any servers and do not collect personal data ourselves, there is no centralized data store that can be breached. Data shared with Google AdMob and Apple Game Center is protected by their respective security measures.
9. International Users
The App is available worldwide. By using the App, you understand that data may be processed in the United States, the European Union, India, or wherever Google's and Apple's servers are located. Both Google and Apple comply with applicable regional data-protection laws including the GDPR and the CCPA.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes by updating the **Last updated** date at the top of this document. Continued use of the App after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
