Privacy Policy

Last updated: 30 August 2026

This policy explains how Barnyard Breakout (the Game) handles information when you play, make a purchase, appear on a leaderboard, or choose to watch a rewarded advertisement.

1. Information we collect

The information collected depends on the features you choose to use:

  • Game progress and settings. The Game stores your progress, coin balance, unlocks, equipped items, settings, best distance, and tutorial status.
  • Accounts and cloud save. The Game does not currently offer accounts or cloud saves. If it offers them in the future, it may process an account identifier, sign-in token, display name, and the save data needed to restore your progress across devices.
  • Leaderboards. If you submit a score, the Game may display your chosen name or platform name, score, rank, and limited gameplay information needed to protect leaderboard integrity. The entry stored on our leaderboard servers consists of a randomly generated player identifier (a UUID minted on your device, not derived from your device or any account), your chosen display name, your best score and distance, the character you used, a coarse country code, the platform (iOS or Android) and app version, and the time the score was set.
  • Crash reports and diagnostics. If the Game crashes, freezes, or hits a script error, it sends us a technical report so we can find and fix the problem. A report contains: a random install identifier (a UUID created on your device the first time the Game runs; it is not derived from your device or any account, is never displayed, and cannot be linked to your name), the app version and build, platform and operating-system version, device model and graphics chip name, device language, the engine version, technical error details (error messages, code file and line references, and stack traces), a short log of recent gameplay events (the last ~40 steps, such as “launched” or “landed”), and a bounded plain-text incident summary. Crash reports contain no name, no contact details, no precise location, no advertising identifier, and nothing you typed. The install identifier persists until you uninstall the Game.
  • Gameplay analytics. The Game sends pseudonymous gameplay analytics so we can see how the Game is actually played and make it better. These are processed for us by GameAnalytics ApS, an analytics provider based in Copenhagen, Denmark, acting as our processor. An analytics record contains: a random install identifier (a UUID generated on your device the first time the Game runs; it is not derived from your device or any account, is never displayed, and is not an advertising identifier), your device model, your operating-system version, a coarse country code that GameAnalytics derives on its own servers from your connection, and gameplay events. The gameplay events are: session starts and ends, your progress through the tutorial and through each run, in-game currency earned and spent (including the amounts), records of in-app purchases, whether a rewarded advertisement was completed, performance measurements such as frame rate and start-up time, and error reports. Gameplay analytics contain no name, no contact details, no precise location, and no advertising identifier, and the install identifier is never shared with advertising providers. We use them only to understand play patterns and improve the Game. They are not used for advertising, and not used to track you across other apps or websites. GameAnalytics keeps and deletes this data under its Data Retention and Deletion Policy; its other privacy documents are published at gameanalytics.com/trust. You can switch gameplay analytics off at any time in the Game under Settings > Usage Data.
  • In-app purchases. Apple App Store and Google Play process payments. We do not receive or store full payment-card details; the Game may process a purchase confirmation or receipt information needed to deliver and restore purchases.
  • Rewarded advertising. If you choose to watch a rewarded ad, advertising providers may process device and ad information, such as an advertising identifier, IP address, device type, operating system, language, approximate location derived from IP, and ad interaction data. This is used to deliver, cap, measure, and reward the ad.
  • Technical information. The Game and its service providers may process technical information required to operate online features, prevent fraud, diagnose errors, and keep the service secure.

We do not ask for your contacts, photos, microphone, camera, or precise location.

2. How we use information

We use information to operate the Game, restore purchases and progress, provide leaderboards, award optional ad rewards, understand how the Game is played so we can improve it, keep the Game secure, prevent cheating, respond to support requests, and meet legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use children’s information for behavioural advertising.

3. Sharing and service providers

We share information only when needed to run the Game:

  • app stores process purchases under their own terms and privacy policies;
  • advertising providers process rewarded-ad requests and ad delivery data;
  • leaderboard and crash-report services process the data needed to provide those features;
  • our analytics provider processes gameplay analytics on our behalf and only on our instructions; and
  • service providers may process data to secure and operate the Game.

Our online features (leaderboards and crash reports) are hosted for us by Supabase, with data stored in Australia (Sydney region). Gameplay analytics are processed by GameAnalytics ApS.

These providers process information under their own privacy terms. Their collection and your available controls may vary by platform, region, and device settings.

4. Your choices

  • Rewarded ads are optional. You can choose not to watch them; you simply will not receive the associated in-game reward.
  • Advertising controls. You can reset or limit your advertising identifier and manage personalised-ad choices in your device settings. Where consent is required, the Game will request it before using the relevant advertising features.
  • Gameplay analytics are optional. You can switch them off at any time in the Game under Settings > Usage Data. Switching them off stops the Game sending any further analytics events. It does not affect your progress, your purchases, or your leaderboard entries.
  • Data deletion. The Game does not use accounts. The data we hold on our servers is limited to leaderboard entries, crash reports, and gameplay analytics, all keyed by random identifiers. To have this data deleted, email us at contact@barnyardbreakout.com with your leaderboard display name (and, if shown on your leaderboard entry, your player code), and we will delete your leaderboard entries and any associated crash reports. Ask in the same email if you would also like your gameplay analytics deleted, and we will pass the request to our analytics provider. You can also clear all local progress stored on your device at any time by uninstalling the Game.

5. Retention and security

We keep purchase and leaderboard information (and any account or cloud-save information, if the Game offers those in the future) only for as long as needed to provide the feature, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, comply with legal obligations, or enforce our terms. Crash reports are kept only as long as they are useful for diagnosing stability problems, and are deleted once they are no longer needed. Gameplay analytics are kept by our analytics provider under its published data retention and deletion policy, which reduces the detail held as the data ages and then anonymises or deletes it. We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.

6. Children’s privacy

The Game may be played by children. We use age-appropriate safeguards for our online features and advertising, including child-directed settings where required. We do not use personalised advertising for users we know are children, and a parent or guardian can contact us at contact@barnyardbreakout.com for help with a child’s data. See the Children’s Privacy Notice for more detail.

7. International users and privacy rights

Your information may be processed in countries where our service providers operate. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or information about how your data is processed. To exercise a right, email contact@barnyardbreakout.com.

If you are in Australia, you may also contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. If you are in the EEA or UK, you may complain to your local supervisory authority. If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA; we do not sell personal information.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the Game, its services, or the law changes. We will update the date above and, for material changes, provide notice through the Game or at barnyardbreakout.com.

9. Contact

We are based in Australia. For privacy questions or requests, contact contact@barnyardbreakout.com.
