TapOrbit (“the app”) is a reflex arcade game published by Baron Mobile Games (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what information the app handles, why, and what choices you have. It applies to the TapOrbit Android application distributed through Google Play.
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect or receive any personal information about you ourselves. Your game progress never leaves your phone. The app does show advertisements, and our advertising provider — Google AdMob — collects data to deliver them. That is the only data collection involved.
The app saves your progress locally so you can continue where you left off. This consists of the levels you have unlocked and the level you played last, your best score overall, per game mode and per level, your settings (haptic feedback on or off), a snapshot of a round still in progress so it can be resumed, and counters that control how often advertisements are shown.
This data is written to your device’s private app storage. It is not transmitted to us or to anyone else, it is not backed up to any server we control, and we have no way to read it. Uninstalling the app deletes it permanently. You can also erase it from inside the app at any time with Settings → Reset Progress.
TapOrbit is free and is funded by advertising. We use Google AdMob to display three kinds of advertisement:
No advertisement is shown while you are playing a round, and none is shown during your first few sessions with the game. Full-screen advertisements are additionally rate limited, so they cannot appear after every failed round.
To serve and measure these advertisements, Google may collect and process information such as:
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Advertising ID (Android Advertising ID) | Identifying your device for ad delivery, frequency capping and measurement |
| Device information (model, operating system, language, screen size) | Selecting an advertisement that fits your device |
| Approximate location, derived from your IP address | Serving region-appropriate advertisements and applying local law |
| Ad interaction data (views, clicks) | Measuring advertisement performance and preventing fraud |
This data is collected by Google, not by us. We only receive anonymous, aggregated reporting such as the total number of advertisements shown. Google’s handling of this data is governed by its own policies:
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the app shows a consent form the first time you open it, provided through Google’s User Messaging Platform. You choose whether your data may be used for personalised advertising. You may refuse. If you refuse, you will still see advertisements, but they will not be personalised.
You can change your decision at any time by opening the app and tapping “Privacy Settings” in the app’s Settings screen.
Everywhere in the world, you can limit advertising tracking through your device: Settings → Google → Ads, where you can reset or delete your advertising ID and opt out of ad personalisation.
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE | Downloading advertisements |
AD_ID | Access to the advertising ID, used by AdMob as described above |
VIBRATE | Haptic feedback when you hit or miss a target. Can be turned off in Settings. |
The app does not request access to your contacts, camera, microphone, precise location, photos or files.
TapOrbit is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us and we will address it.
Because we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to export or erase on request. To exercise rights relating to data collected by Google for advertising — including access, erasure, or objection under the GDPR — please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy, which describes how to make such a request. You can also delete all locally stored game data at any time with Settings → Reset Progress, by uninstalling the app, or by clearing the app’s storage in your device settings.
If this policy changes, the revised version will be published at this address with an updated date at the top. Significant changes affecting how data is handled will also be reflected in a new app release.
