01 / SCOPE
Who and what this policy covers
This Privacy Policy applies to CoreAtlasHub - BubbleCatch (the “Game”), including the web version and any version distributed through an app marketplace that displays or links to this policy. In this policy, “Core Atlas Hub,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the operator of the Game.
This policy covers information handled by the Game. A browser, device operating system, app marketplace, network provider, or linked external website may process information under its own terms and privacy policy.
For this policy, “collect” includes required user data sent off your device by the Game or by any library, service, or software development kit used by the Game, whether the data is sent to us or directly to a service provider. “Share” includes user data transferred from our servers to a third party or from the Game to another third-party app on the same device.
If a distributed app version opens Game content or a service inside an embedded WebView, user data collected or transferred through that WebView is covered by this policy. This does not include a user independently navigating the open web; the destination website’s privacy policy then applies.
02 / DATA MAP
Information we collect or process
| Category | What it includes | When and why |
|---|---|---|
| Game preferences and progress | Sound choice, reduced-motion choice, selected character, highest level reached, and a cached copy of leaderboard entries. | Stored locally on the device so settings and progress remain available between visits. |
| Gameplay session data | A random session identifier, selected character, session timestamps, score, level reached, play duration, submission status, and anti-cheat rejection reason when applicable. | Created when online play starts and used to operate the Game, validate scores, prevent duplicate or manipulated submissions, and maintain the leaderboard. |
| Network, device, and diagnostic information | Internet Protocol (IP) address, approximate location that may be inferred from an IP address, user-agent string, browser or device type information, request time, requested endpoint, and operational or security logs. | Processed when the Game or its online features are accessed for delivery, security, diagnostics, fraud prevention, and anti-cheat review. |
| Leaderboard information | The commander name or handle you enter, score, level, play duration, and submission time. | Collected only when a qualifying score is submitted. The commander name, score, and level may be displayed publicly. |
| Support or privacy communications | The content of a request and any contact information you choose to provide. | Used to answer questions, process privacy requests, and protect the Game and its users. |
| User-initiated sharing | Prepared share text containing Game information, such as a score or Game link. | Transferred to the operating system share sheet, a selected third-party app, or the device clipboard only after you choose the sharing action. |
We do not ask for precise GPS location, contacts, photos, camera access, microphone access, health information, financial account information, government identification, or biometric information.
04 / PURPOSE
How information is used
- Provide, maintain, and improve gameplay and accessibility preferences.
- Create secure sessions and operate the global leaderboard.
- Validate score plausibility and prevent cheating, replay, abuse, and fraud.
- Diagnose errors, maintain service availability, and protect users and infrastructure.
- Respond to support, legal, and privacy requests.
- Comply with applicable law and enforce our rights.
06 / RETENTION
How long information is kept
Local preferences, progress, and cached leaderboard data remain on the device until browser or app storage is cleared. Leaderboard scores and related gameplay session records may be retained while the leaderboard operates, until a valid deletion request is completed, or longer when reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or legal compliance. Privacy-request submissions are retained as needed to respond, verify completion, and meet legal obligations. Hosting and security logs are retained according to operational needs and the service provider’s applicable settings and retention practices.
We may de-identify or aggregate information so it can no longer reasonably identify a person. De-identified information may be retained for analytics, security, and service improvement.
07 / SECURITY
How information is protected
All user data that the Game sends off the device—to Game APIs, Netlify services, the privacy-request form, and Google Fonts—is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS. Gameplay session, leaderboard, operational, and privacy-request data stored in managed server infrastructure is encrypted at rest. We also use server-generated session identifiers and restricted score-submission rules.
Information kept in browser or app localStorage remains on the device and is not separately encrypted by the Game; it is protected by the browser, operating system, and device security controls. Information transferred through a device share sheet, selected third-party app, clipboard, or email is protected according to the operating system and receiving provider. Ordinary email may not be end-to-end encrypted, so the HTTPS privacy form is the preferred method for sensitive privacy requests.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
08 / CONTROLS
Your choices and privacy rights
- Local data: clear the Game’s site data in browser or app settings to remove locally stored preferences, progress, and cached leaderboard data.
- Leaderboard: score submission is not required for ordinary gameplay. If prompted for a commander name, use a nickname that does not identify you.
- Access, correction, or deletion: submit the privacy form below or email strykmediallc@gmail.com. Include the commander name, score, level, and approximate submission date needed to locate the data. We may request reasonable verification before acting.
- Regional rights: depending on where you live, you may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing, or to appeal a response. You may also contact your local data protection authority.
The Game does not create user accounts, so there is no account-deletion flow. You may still request removal of leaderboard, gameplay session, support, or other user data associated with you by using the form or email address above, subject to information we must retain for security or legal obligations.
09 / AGE
Children’s privacy
The Game is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, use the privacy form below or email strykmediallc@gmail.com so the information can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
10 / TRANSFERS
International processing
The Game and its service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Those countries may have different data protection laws than your home country. Where required, appropriate safeguards are used for international transfers.
11 / APP STORES
Google Play and other marketplaces
If you install or access the Game through Google Play or another marketplace, the marketplace may independently collect information such as account, device, installation, purchase, diagnostic, and usage information under its own privacy policy. We do not receive your Google account password, payment card number, or full marketplace account record from Google Play.
12 / UPDATES
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the Game, its services, or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date identifies the latest revision. Material changes may also be announced in the Game or through an app marketplace when appropriate.
13 / CONTACT
Privacy contact
Submit the HTTPS form below or email strykmediallc@gmail.com for privacy questions or requests, including requests to access, correct, or remove user data. Include enough leaderboard detail to locate the relevant entry, but do not send passwords, payment information, or government identification.
