ORBY Privacy Policy
This policy explains what happens to information when you play ORBY (the "game") on iOS or Android. The game is published by Useroam Teknoloji Ltd. Şti. ("we", "us").
In short
- You can play without an account. If you choose to sign in with Apple or Google to join the global leaderboard, a player name, an account identifier and your best score are stored with Google Firebase.
- Your progress is saved on your device only.
- The game shows ads through Google AdMob. Google and its partners may process your device's advertising ID and related data, subject to your consent choices.
- Purchases are processed by Apple or Google. Sign-in and the global leaderboard are optional.
- The game is not directed at children under 13.
1. Information we collect
If you do not sign in, we collect nothing about you ourselves. Signing in is optional. If you sign in with Apple or Google, Firebase Authentication (a Google service that processes data for us) stores a unique account identifier, the sign-in provider you used, the name you chose to share (or a generated name such as "Player AB12") and, if the provider shares it, your email address. Your leaderboard entry (player name, best score, platform and the time of your last update) is stored in Google Cloud Firestore and can be seen by other players. We do not receive your contacts, photos, precise location or payment details.
2. Information stored on your device
To make the game work, it saves data locally on your device, such as your scores and best streaks, your star balance, unlocked balls and power-ups, daily gift status, purchase status (for example whether ads have been removed), and settings such as language and sound.
This data stays on your device and is not sent to us. It is removed when you delete the game or clear its data. Because it is stored locally, it does not automatically move to a new device.
3. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The game is free to play and is supported by ads: banners on menu and game-over screens, occasional full-screen ads between games, and optional rewarded videos that you choose to watch in exchange for an in-game benefit (a revive, doubled stars or free stars).
Ads are delivered by Google AdMob. To serve, measure and limit ads, and to detect fraud, the AdMob software in the game may collect and process:
- your device's advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, advertising ID on Android) and other device or app-set identifiers;
- your IP address, which may be used to estimate your general location (for example country or city);
- device and app information such as model, operating system version, language and network type;
- how you interact with ads and the game in connection with ads (for example ads shown and tapped);
- diagnostic and performance data such as crash information.
Google acts under its own privacy policy and may share data with its advertising partners. You can read more here: Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from apps that use its services.
4. Your consent and ad choices
- Consent message. Where the law requires it (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), the game shows a consent message from Google's User Messaging Platform before ads are loaded. You can accept or refuse personalised advertising, and you can reopen these choices later from Settings > Ad choices in the game. If you refuse, you may still see ads, but they are not based on your interests.
- iOS tracking permission. On iOS, the game asks for permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt before your advertising identifier is used for tracking. You can change this at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
- Android. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in Settings > Privacy > Ads (the exact path depends on your device).
- Removing ads. The optional Remove Ads purchase turns off banner and full-screen ads. Rewarded videos stay optional and only play when you choose them.
5. In-app purchases
The game offers optional purchases (star packs, Remove Ads and a starter pack). Payments are handled entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). We never see or store your card number or billing details. The game only receives a confirmation from the store that a purchase was completed, so it can deliver the item on your device. The stores' own privacy policies apply to the payment: Apple, Google.
6. Sign-in and the global leaderboard
Sign-in is offered through Sign in with Apple and Google Sign-In. Apple or Google confirms your identity to us and processes that sign-in under its own terms and privacy policy. With Sign in with Apple you can hide your email address. Your account and leaderboard entry are kept until you delete your account (Settings > Delete account in the game) or ask us to delete them.
7. Children
The game is not directed at children under 13 (or the higher minimum age that applies in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided personal data through the game, contact us at orby@useroamteknoloji.com and we will help you address it with the relevant third-party service.
8. Why data is processed
Local game data is stored on your device to provide the game you asked for. Advertising data is processed by Google on the basis of your consent where consent is required, and otherwise on the basis of legitimate interests in funding a free game and preventing fraud. Purchases and game services are processed by Apple or Google to perform the service you requested from them.
We do not sell personal data for money. Where local law treats the use of advertising identifiers for personalised ads as "selling" or "sharing", you can opt out with the consent and device settings described in section 4.
9. Deleting your data and your rights
Because we hold no personal data about you on our own systems, most requests are handled directly on your device or with the third-party service:
- Game data on your device: delete the game, or clear its data in your device settings. This permanently removes local progress.
- Advertising data: reset or delete your advertising ID and withdraw consent as described in section 4. You can manage data held by Google at myaccount.google.com.
- Account and leaderboard data: choose Settings > Delete account in the game. This deletes your account and your leaderboard entry. You can also email us and we will delete them for you.
- Purchase records: these are kept by Apple or Google in your store account.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to processing, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your local data protection authority. If you want help with any request, or want us to confirm that we hold no data about you, email orby@useroamteknoloji.com. We will reply within a reasonable time and at the latest within the period required by law.
10. International processing and security
Google and Apple may process data in countries other than your own, under the safeguards described in their policies. Data saved locally is protected by the security of your own device.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy, for example if the game's features or the services it uses change. The current version is always available on this page, with a new effective date at the top. If a change is significant, we will also point it out in the game or in the store listing.
