Privacy Policy

Effective 25 September 2026 (first published 18 August 2026; this revision adds live configuration) · applies to the Boltfall iOS app

Boltfall is a puzzle game by Asgar Amrahov. It has no accounts, no sign-in, and no social features. Your game progress is stored only on your device. This policy explains the little data that does leave your device, why, and the choices you have.

What we collect

• Gameplay analytics — anonymous events such as “level 12 won in 90 seconds” or “tutorial step shown”, sent through Google Analytics for Firebase. They contain level numbers, counts, durations and booleans — never your name, email, contacts, location or anything you type. We use them for one purpose: finding levels that are too hard or too easy and fixing them.
• Advertising data — Boltfall shows ads through Google AdMob. Ads only ever play when you choose to watch one for a bonus, plus an occasional interstitial after a level. To show and measure ads, Google may process device information (such as IP address, device model, and — only if you allow tracking — the advertising identifier). See how Google uses data from apps.
• Purchase state — purchases are processed entirely by Apple. We never see your payment details. The app only stores which non-consumable products you own so it can honour them.
• Live configuration — at launch and about twice a day, Boltfall fetches a small set of on/off switches and limits from Firebase Remote Config: whether the Weekly League, Today's Bolt, the Drill, Workshop part drops, the win-streak ladder, the chapter celebration and the two one-time coin offers are available, whether each optional rewarded ad and the occasional interstitial may be shown, and from which level and how often interstitials may appear, within limits built into the app. This lets us pause something that misbehaves without waiting for an app update. It cannot add content, cannot turn on anything the app ships switched off, and never takes away anything you have earned or bought. The request carries the Firebase installation identifier that Google Analytics for Firebase already uses and no gameplay data; it is configuration rather than measurement, so it happens whether or not you consented to ads. Nothing about you is sent or stored by it. Without a connection the app uses the last values it received, or its built-in ones.

What we never collect

No names, no emails, no contacts, no photos, no location, no microphone, no free-text input. Boltfall works fully offline; nothing above is required to play.

Consent in the EEA and UK

If you are in a region that requires consent, Boltfall shows Google's consent form before any ad-related data is used, and analytics stays switched off until consent is resolved. You can decline: you'll see non-personalised ads and the game works exactly the same. You can change your choice any time via the consent form shown in-app.

App Tracking Transparency

Boltfall never asks about tracking on first launch. If you later choose to watch a rewarded ad, iOS shows Apple's tracking prompt once. Allowing makes rewarded ads more relevant; declining changes nothing about the game — same ads, same rewards, less relevance.

Deleting your data

• On-device data — Settings → Data → “Delete local data” wipes all progress, coins and settings instantly and permanently.
• Analytics — events are anonymous and auto-expire on Google's servers (14 months). To request deletion tied to your device's app instance, email us and we will action it through Firebase's deletion API.
• Ad identifier — reset or revoke any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking / Apple Advertising.

Children

Boltfall is rated 4+ but is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. Where age signals apply, Google serves non-personalised ads.

Third parties we use

• Google AdMob (ads) — privacy policy
• Google Analytics for Firebase (gameplay analytics), Firebase Crashlytics (crash reports) and Firebase Remote Config (live configuration) — privacy notes
• Apple App Store / StoreKit (purchases) — privacy policy

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version appears at this address with a new effective date. Material changes will also be noted in the App Store release notes.
