Privacy Policy

This policy applies to Bakery Tumble: Merge Puzzle, a free game provided by Aleh Belko / Barsuk Studio (the "Developer") for Android, iOS, and web. It explains how information is handled when you play the game.

Effective date: 2026-10-07

Local Game Data

The game stores your best score, booster inventory, selected theme, and sound and music preferences in app or browser storage. These saves let you continue using your settings and inventory between sessions. Device or browser backups may include local data according to your platform settings.

The current version does not provide player accounts, public leaderboards, cloud progress sync, or in-app purchases.

Advertising

Mobile versions use Google AdMob and Yandex Mobile Ads to display banner, interstitial, and optional rewarded ads. The advertising provider is selected using the device language; an alternative provider may be used if initialization fails.

Advertising partners may process IP address and approximate location inferred from it, device and app information, advertising or other identifiers where permitted, ad interactions, and diagnostic data. This information supports ad delivery, measurement, and fraud prevention. The game does not request access to precise device location.

Analytics and Diagnostics

Native versions use Google Analytics for Firebase, Firebase Crashlytics, and Firebase Performance Monitoring to understand app and advertising activity, investigate errors, and measure performance. These services may process installation identifiers, device and operating-system information, event data, crash traces, IP addresses, and performance measurements.

On web, hosting providers may receive connection information such as IP address. The game may load fonts from Google Fonts, which involves requests to Google's servers.

Privacy Choices

AdMob may present a consent form where required. When available, you can reopen its privacy form through Options → Privacy Choices. On iOS, the system may separately ask for App Tracking Transparency permission; you can manage that permission in device settings.

Advertising permission and technical analytics or crash reporting are separate. Refusing tracking does not necessarily remove all ads or stop every form of technical processing. Yandex advertising consent is not treated as granted without a collected user choice.

Third-Party Services

Service providers handle information under their own privacy policies and applicable service terms:

• Google services, including AdMob, Google Play Services, and Google Fonts
• Firebase, including Analytics, Crashlytics, and Performance Monitoring
• Yandex, including Mobile Ads and SDK measurement services
• Apple platform services

Sharing and Retention

Information may be shared with the providers needed to deliver advertising, analytics, diagnostics, hosting, and platform services. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or to protect security and rights. Providers may process information in other countries under their own terms.

Local saves remain until you clear the relevant app or browser storage or remove the app, subject to your platform's backup and restore behavior. Clearing local storage removes local progress and inventory. It does not automatically delete data already held by service providers, whose retention and deletion rules apply separately.

For privacy enquiries or data-deletion requests, contact aleh.belko@gmail.com. Include the game name and enough information to identify the issue. Additional information may be needed to locate provider-held records. You may also use the relevant provider's privacy controls.

Children's Privacy

The Developer does not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the game, contact the Developer so the issue can be reviewed.

Security and External Links

Reasonable measures are used to protect information, but no transmission or storage method is completely secure. External websites and services have their own policies; this policy describes the game and does not replace those policies.

Updates and Contact

This policy may be updated when the game or its data practices change. The latest version and effective date will be available on this page.
