Beluga Deep: Ocean Explorer — Privacy Policy

Summary

Beluga Deep does not ask for an account and does not sell your data. Your game progress stays on your device. Starting with version 1.1 the Android version shows ads through Google AdMob, which uses some device data to serve and measure ads, and offers an optional one-time "Premium" purchase through Google Play that removes ads, as described below.

Data stored on your device

Your pearls, upgrades, discovered species, rescued friends, found treasures, discovered air pockets, explored map, deepest dive, daily golden pearl streak, any active 2× pearl bonus, whether you own Premium, play statistics (including your total dive time, how many full-screen ads you have been shown and when the last ad was shown, which the game uses only to space ads out) and your settings (sound, music, vibration, effects, language) are saved only in the app's private storage on your device. This data never leaves your device through the app. It may be included in your device's own backup if you have backup enabled; that backup is handled by Google or Apple according to your device settings. Uninstalling the app deletes this data.

Permissions

The Android app uses internet access (to load ads and to check Premium purchases with Google Play), the advertising ID permission (used by Google AdMob), the Google Play billing permission (for the optional Premium purchase) and the vibration permission for optional haptic feedback, which you can turn off in the game's settings. It does not access your location, contacts, camera, microphone or files. The sky in the game follows your device's clock (day, sunset, night); the time is only read on your device and is not stored or sent anywhere.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

From version 1.1 the Android game shows full-screen ads at natural breaks: when you continue after fainting and when you end a dive by returning to the menu. Ads are never shown while you are swimming, and not during your first 10 minutes of diving. The game also offers optional rewarded ads that you choose to watch (to keep the pearls you dropped after fainting, or to collect 2× pearls for a while). Ads are provided by Google AdMob. To show, personalize (where allowed) and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google may collect and process your device's advertising ID, IP address, device and app information, and your interactions with ads. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland you are asked for consent through Google's consent form, and you can change your choice any time with "Privacy options" in the game's settings. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings. Learn how Google uses this data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

The game contains no analytics or tracking SDKs other than Google AdMob.

Premium purchase (Google Play)

Premium is an optional one-time purchase that removes ads: no full-screen ads are shown, and the two rewards above are given without watching an ad. The game sometimes offers the same Premium at a lower price as a special offer; it is the same purchase either way. Payment is handled entirely by Google Play under Google's terms and privacy policy; we never see or store your payment details. The app only asks Google Play whether your account owns Premium so it can turn ads off (and restore Premium after a reinstall), and it stores nothing about the purchase except a "Premium owned" flag on your device. Once the game knows you own Premium it does not request ads from Google; the Google Mobile Ads software remains part of the app and is still started when the game opens. See policies.google.com/privacy.

iPhone (App Store) version

The iPhone version of Beluga Deep currently shows no ads, offers no purchases and contains no advertising, analytics or tracking SDKs. It does not use the internet, does not access the advertising identifier and does not track you. Your game data is stored only on your iPhone (and may be included in your own iCloud or device backup); uninstalling the app deletes it. The advertising and Premium sections above apply to the Android version only. If ads or purchases are added to the iPhone version later, this policy will be updated first.

Children

The game is intended for a general audience aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
