Bus Sort Barnyard — Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 6, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how the mobile game Bus Sort Barnyard (the "App") handles information. The App is published by Luan Truong Van, an individual developer based in Vietnam ("we", "us"). If you have any question, contact us at luantruong1999@gmail.com.
Summary
- You do not create an account, and we do not ask for your name, email, phone number or address.
- Your game progress and settings are stored on your device.
- The App shows ads and offers an optional in-app purchase. Our advertising, analytics and crash-reporting partners collect device and usage information as described below.
- In the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we ask for your consent before personalised ads, and you can change your choice at any time in Settings → Privacy choices.
- On iOS, we ask for permission before your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) is used for tracking. You can change this in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
1. Information stored on your device
Level progress, stars, hint credits, sound/music/vibration settings and whether you own "Remove Ads" are saved locally on your device. This information is not sent to us. Deleting the App deletes it.
2. Information collected by our partners
We use the following third-party services. They may collect information automatically when you use the App, under their own privacy policies.
Analytics — Google Firebase Analytics
Collects app usage events (for example: level started, level completed, ad shown, purchase started), app version, device model, operating system version, language, country/region derived from your IP address, and an app-instance identifier. We use this to understand how the game is played and to improve difficulty and balance. Privacy policy: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
Crash reporting — Google Firebase Crashlytics
Collects crash logs, device state at the time of the crash, device model, operating system version and an installation identifier, so we can fix bugs. Privacy policy: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
Advertising — Unity LevelPlay (ironSource) mediation, with Google AdMob, Unity Ads and ironSource Ads
To show banner, interstitial and optional rewarded ads, these services may collect your IP address, device model and settings, operating system, language, approximate location derived from your IP address, ad interactions (impressions and clicks), and — only if you allow it — your device's advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS). Depending on your choices and region, ads may be personalised or non-personalised.

- Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy and how Google uses information from apps that use its services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
In-app purchase — Apple App Store
The optional "Remove Ads" purchase is processed entirely by Apple. We never receive your payment card or Apple Account details. The App receives a transaction record from Apple only to confirm and restore your purchase. Apple's privacy policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
3. How we use information
- To run the game and remember your progress and settings.
- To show ads that fund the free game, and to measure and limit how often ads appear.
- To confirm and restore purchases.
- To understand gameplay, fix crashes and improve the game.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for any purpose other than those listed above.
4. Your choices
- Consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland): a consent message from Google's User Messaging Platform appears before ads are requested. You can accept, refuse or manage options, and change your choice later in Settings → Privacy choices.
- Tracking (iOS): the App asks for App Tracking Transparency permission. If you do not allow it, your IDFA is not shared and ads are not personalised using it. Change it any time in iOS Settings.
- Ads: buying "Remove Ads" turns off banner and automatic full-screen ads. Rewarded ads only play when you choose to watch one for a hint.
- Reset your advertising identifier in your device settings at any time.
5. Legal bases (EEA, UK, Switzerland)
We rely on your consent for personalised advertising and for storing or accessing information on your device for ads, and on our legitimate interests for crash reporting, security and basic analytics needed to keep the game working. You may withdraw consent at any time as described above.
6. Data retention
Information on your device stays until you delete the App. Our partners keep the information they collect for the periods set in their own policies and in our account settings with them, after which it is deleted or anonymised.
7. International transfers
Our partners may process information in countries other than yours, including the United States. They use safeguards required by applicable law, such as standard contractual clauses.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of your personal data, to restrict it, to data portability, and to complain to your local data-protection authority. Because we do not collect your name or contact details, most data is held by our partners under identifiers we cannot link to you; email us and we will help you exercise your rights with them.
9. Children
The App is a general-audience game and is not directed at children under 13 (or the age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
10. Security
We rely on the security measures of the platforms and partners listed above. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy. The new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
