Privacy Policy for Bumper Stars
Effective date: July 25, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Luis Augsburg ("we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with the mobile game Bumper Stars (the "Game"), available on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
1. Information We Collect
Gameplay Analytics (Unity Gaming Services / Unity Analytics)
We use Unity Analytics, part of Unity Technologies' Unity Gaming Services, to understand basic gameplay trends. This SDK automatically collects:
An anonymous, randomly generated analytics/device identifier (not tied to your name, email, or any account)
Standard technical/session data such as platform, device model, OS version, app version, session length, and country/region derived from IP address
Gameplay data associated with match outcomes
No name, email address, contact list, precise location, photos, or other personal identifiers are included in this data.
Unity's handling of this data is governed by Unity Technologies' Privacy Policy.
Multiplayer Connection Data (Photon Engine)
Bumper Stars uses Photon Realtime and Photon Quantum, multiplayer networking services provided by Exit Games GmbH ("Photon"), to connect players into online matches. To establish and maintain these connections, Photon's servers process:
Your device's IP address
Connection/session metadata needed to route real-time match traffic (e.g., room membership, ping/latency)
This data is used transiently to operate multiplayer matches. The Game does not set a persistent player ID, username, or nickname — you are identified only by a temporary connection assigned for the duration of a match. Photon's handling of this data is governed by Photon Engine's Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
Bumper Stars does not include, and therefore does not collect data through:
User accounts, sign-in, or login systems (no Google Play Games, Game Center, email, or username sign-in)
In-game chat, voice chat, or any user-generated content
Advertising SDKs
In-app purchases or payment processing
Crash reporting tools
Access to your contacts, photos, camera, microphone, or precise location
3. How We Use Information
We use the data described above solely to:
Operate real-time multiplayer matchmaking and gameplay
Understand aggregate gameplay trends (e.g., typical match outcomes) to improve game balance and design
We do not use this data for advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties, and we do not combine it with any personally identifying information because we do not collect any.

These providers may process data on servers located outside your country of residence.
5. Data Retention
Analytics data is retained by Unity Technologies according to their standard retention practices. Multiplayer connection data processed by Photon is transient and tied to the lifetime of a match session; Photon does not receive a persistent identifier from us to retain across sessions.
6. Children's Privacy
Bumper Stars is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because the Game collects no account or contact information from any player, no personally identifying data about a child is knowingly gathered. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Game, contact us at the address below and we will investigate and remove it.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location (e.g., under GDPR or CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. Because Bumper Stars does not collect directly identifying information, most requests will relate to the anonymous analytics identifier generated by Unity Analytics; you may also exercise rights directly with Unity Technologies and Exit Games GmbH as independent data processors/controllers for their respective services. You can also contact us at the address below and we will assist where we are able to.
8. Data Security
We rely on the security measures implemented by Unity Technologies and Exit Games GmbH for the data their services process. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we and our providers take reasonable steps to protect data in transit and at rest.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example if we add new features such as accounts, chat, or advertising. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Effective date" at the top of this page. Continued use of the Game after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
