Quirky Ball · Effective Date: July 27, 2026
This Privacy Policy applies to the software provided here by House Duck (an individual developer team) (the "Operator") — the mobile game Quirky Ball (the "Service"). The Operator is an individual developer team, not a company or business entity, and resides in Germany.
The Operator takes user privacy seriously and aims to comply with applicable laws, including South Korea's Personal Information Protection Act, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and applicable U.S. state privacy laws. This Policy explains what information the Service collects, how it is used, and how it is stored and deleted. It is the full version of the privacy notice shown inside the app.
The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is the Operator of the Service, reachable at the email address listed below.
You can play as a guest without any sign-up. The Service collects and stores the following information.
| Item | When / how | Where stored |
|---|---|---|
| Guest identifier (UID) | Generated automatically when you use the Service | Device and server (Supabase) |
| Email address, profile name | Only if you (optionally) link a Google account | Server (Supabase Auth) |
| Gameplay data (score, level, play history) | Generated automatically as you play | Device and server (best records) |
| Nickname, display code | Nickname entered by you; display code generated automatically | Device and server (for leaderboards) |
| Country | Selected by you during onboarding (suggested from device locale; not precise location) | Device and server (for country leaderboards) |
| Device/advertising identifiers (e.g., ADID) | Collected by the ad SDK (Google AdMob) when ads are served | Ad provider (Google) systems |
| Virtual currency (stamina, gems), language setting | Generated during use | Device only (local storage) |
The Service does not collect precise location, contacts, photos, or other information not required to provide the game, and it does not use a separate analytics SDK.
We do not sell users' personal information to third parties. The Service relies on the following external services, and each provider's own privacy policy also applies.
| Service (provider) | Purpose | Related data |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob (Google LLC) | Rewarded and interstitial ads | Advertising identifier, device information |
| Google Sign-In (Google LLC) | (Optional) Google account linking | Email address, profile name |
| Supabase (Supabase Inc.) | Backend infrastructure storing account/score data (data processor) | UID, nickname, country, best records |
Because of the cloud infrastructure we use (Supabase, Google), personal information may be stored and processed on servers outside your country — including outside the EU/EEA. Such transfers rely on the safeguards and legal frameworks applied by those providers (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses).
The Service is not directed at children under the age of 14 (or a higher minimum age where required by local law), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child below that age has provided personal information, we will delete it promptly. Parents or legal guardians may request deletion via the contact email below.
The Operator takes reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. All communication with the server is protected by TLS encryption, and access to the Supabase database is restricted through Row Level Security (RLS).
