Ripple Bloom – Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3 November 2026

Ripple Bloom is a puzzle game by Berger Games ("we"). This policy explains what data the game uses, why, and what choices you have.

Responsible for your data: Thomas Berger, Berger Games, Route du Riedlé 6, 1700 Fribourg, Switzerland. Contact: support@bergergames.ch.

What we store on our server

• Game progress: unlocked levels, stars, scores, gold, boosters and game settings, so your progress is backed up and can move to a new phone.
• A random player ID created by the game. It is not linked to your name, email or phone number.
• Google Play Games player ID, only if you sign in with Play Games, to restore your progress on other devices.
• Purchase records (purchase token, product and order number) to check with Google that a purchase is real and to deliver it exactly once. We never see your payment details.
• Device integrity results from Google Play Integrity (whether the app and device are genuine), to prevent cheating and fraud.

Your IP address is used briefly to protect the server against abuse (rate limiting) and is not stored with your data. We do not sell your data.

Advertising

The free version shows ads served by Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address and device information. In the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland we ask for your consent before ads are personalised; you can change your choice at any time in the game (map → cloud button → Ad privacy options). If you decline, you may still see non-personalised ads. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings. Buying "Remove Ads" turns off ads between levels; optional reward videos stay available. See how Google uses data from partner apps.

Google services

Purchases are handled by Google Play, sign-in by Google Play Games and integrity checks by Google Play Integrity. Their use of data is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.

Why we may use this data

To provide the game and its cloud save (performance of our agreement with you), to prevent fraud and cheating (legitimate interest), and for personalised ads only with your consent.

How long we keep it

Your game data is kept while you play and deleted when you delete it in the game, or after 24 months without any activity. Purchase records are kept as long as needed for accounting and to prevent the same purchase from being delivered twice, but without any link to your player data once your data is deleted.

Your choices and rights

• Delete your data: map → cloud button → Delete my data. This removes your data from our server and resets the game on that phone. Remove Ads is restored from Google Play.
• If you can no longer open the game, email us with your transfer code or Play Games name and we will delete your data.
• You may ask for a copy of your data, correct it or object to its use, and you may complain to your data protection authority.

Children

Ripple Bloom is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Where your data is stored

On our own server in Switzerland, which the EU recognises as providing an adequate level of data protection. Google may process data in other countries under its own safeguards.

Changes

We will update this page when the game's use of data changes. The date at the top shows the latest version.
