Privacy Policy

Effective date: 1 November 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Pratik Abichandani, trading as Bulldozer Studios (“Bulldozer Studios”, “we”, “us”) handles information in Breakout Z. Contact: support@bulldozerstudios.com.

1. Summary

Kids/family game: local-first, generated names, no production ads/tracking in the current release configuration, with online Realtime play disabled until specifically configured and reviewed.

2. Information handled by the game

Local game data

Progress, rewards, stickers, settings and other gameplay state are stored locally. The normal profile flow uses generated names so a child does not need to type a real name, email address or password.

Online Team Battle

Online friend play is disabled until a server is configured and reviewed. If enabled, room-code multiplayer can transmit gameplay moves/state fingerprints and normal technical connection information needed to operate the connection. The game has no chat in the current design.

Advertising and tracking

The current Kids release configuration is intended to contain no production advertising or tracking. We do not enable personalized advertising for the Kids edition. If this changes, the app, policy and store family disclosures must be updated before release.

Purchases

If real-money purchases are enabled, the platform store processes payment and the game uses a parental gate before purchase-related external actions. Bulldozer Studios does not receive a child’s full payment-card number.

Parent/support requests

A parent or guardian who contacts us may provide an email address and information needed to resolve a support or privacy request.

3. Why we use information

• save local game progress
• operate parent-approved online play only when enabled
• process store purchases only when enabled
• provide parent/guardian support and privacy responses

4. Service providers and platforms

Depending on the release configuration and features you use, information may be processed by:

• Apple App Store / Google Play for distribution and any platform purchases actually enabled
• Supabase Realtime only if online Team Battle is enabled
• hosting/email providers used for parent/support requests

We require service providers we use to handle data only for the relevant service and subject to appropriate privacy and security obligations. Platform providers may also process data under their own terms and privacy policies.

5. Data retention

Local gameplay data stays on the device until reset/uninstalled, subject to platform backup behavior. If online Realtime play is enabled without a persistent player account, gameplay transport is used to operate the session and is not treated as a permanent child profile by Bulldozer Studios. Parent/support messages are kept only as long as reasonably needed.

6. Your choices and deletion

You can use the game-specific deletion page at https://bulldozerstudios.com/delete-data/breakout-z. You may also contact support@bulldozerstudios.com for privacy questions. Where consent is used for an optional feature, you may withdraw it through the relevant in-game setting or by stopping use of that optional feature.

7. Children and families

Breakout Z is designed for children and families. We minimize personal information, use generated names in normal gameplay, and do not ask a child to provide an email/password to play. Parents/guardians can contact us for privacy or deletion questions.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the information and service. No system can be guaranteed completely secure.

9. International processing

Store, hosting, support or other service providers may process information in countries different from yours. Where applicable, we use providers and safeguards intended to protect information consistent with this policy and applicable law.

10. Changes

We may update this policy when the game, service providers or legal requirements change. We will update the effective date and, when appropriate, provide additional notice before materially different processing begins.
