1 Introduction & Core Philosophy
Welcome to Flapjack: Tap Flying Bird (“we”, “our”, or “the App”), developed by Tech2U Savannah. We believe arcade gaming should be responsive, fun, and fully respectful of your digital privacy. Flapjack is designed as an offline-first, client-rendered 3D arcade flight game requiring no user registration, no account creation, and no collection of personal identity data.
Key Privacy Guarantee: We do not harvest names, email addresses, phone numbers, contacts, biometric data, or precise GPS location. Your high scores, streak records, cosmetic skin unlocks, and game audio preferences are saved locally on your device.
2 Information Handled Locally (Data Minimization)
In accordance with data minimization principles, Flapjack stores the following gameplay data exclusively in local device storage:
- High Scores & Streaks: High score, current hot streak, and lifetime flight counts.
- Unlocked Bird Skins: Local progress flags denoting unlocked cosmetic skins.
- Game Settings: Audio mute toggles, haptics toggle, colour-blind mode preference, reduce motion toggle, and rendering quality level.
- Daily Reminder Preference: Optional local alarm toggle for morning challenge reminders.
This information never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
3 Android Permissions & Hardware Usage
Flapjack requests strictly the minimal set of Android permissions needed for functionality:
4 Third-Party Advertising & Google UMP Consent
Flapjack is supported by advertisements served through Google AdMob. To comply with global privacy frameworks (including EU GDPR, UK GDPR, and Swiss DPA), we implement Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) SDK:
- No ads are initialized or requested until the UMP consent status has been queried and confirmed.
- Users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland are presented with standard Google consent management forms to accept or decline personalized ads and tracking.
- Ad experience adheres strictly to the Better Ads Experiences standards: banners appear exclusively on the home menu; interstitials are limited to natural post-run completion points with minimum 90-second spacing; rewarded videos are 100% opt-in.
Third-Party Privacy Practices
For more details on how Google handles advertising data, review Google's official privacy and ad policies:
5 Consent Revocation & User Privacy Choices
You maintain continuous control over your privacy choices at all times. In regions where consent management applies, you can change or withdraw your consent preferences directly within the app:
- Open the in-game Settings menu.
- Select Consent Preferences to re-open Google's privacy options form.
- Update your choices immediately without reinstalling or resetting the application.
6 Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Flapjack does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 (or under 16 in applicable EU jurisdictions). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will promptly remove any such data.
7 Global Regulatory Compliance (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA)
We respect your privacy rights under global data protection laws:
- EU & UK GDPR: Lawful basis for processing is user consent obtained via the Google UMP CMP. You have the right to access, rectify, or erase your data, or withdraw consent at any time.
- California CCPA / CPRA: We do not sell or share personal information for monetary value. Ad partners may process identifiers under your browser and device consent preferences.
