Bin It! Privacy Policy
In short: Bin It! has no accounts and we do not collect your name, email, contacts or precise location. Your game progress is stored on your device. The game shows ads through Google AdMob, which uses your device's advertising ID and similar data to show and measure ads. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, UK and Switzerland) we ask for your consent first, and you can change your choice at any time in the game's Settings.
1. Who we are
Bin It! is a mobile game made by Omega08 ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the game handles, why, and the choices you have. Contact details are in section 11.
2. Information stored on your device
The game saves your progress, settings, statistics, unlocked items and coin balance in the app's private storage on your device. We do not receive this data.
If Android backup is turned on for your Google account, Android may back up this save data to your Google account so it can be restored on a new phone. That backup is handled by Google under the Google Privacy Policy, not by us.
3. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The game is free and is supported by ads from Google AdMob: optional rewarded videos (you choose to watch one in exchange for an in-game reward) and occasional full-screen ads between games. To deliver ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK collects and shares the following with Google:
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Advertising ID and other device identifiers | Showing ads, limiting how often you see the same ad, measuring ad performance, preventing fraud, and (only with consent where required) personalising ads |
| IP address, used to estimate approximate location | Choosing relevant ads for your region, and applying local privacy rules |
| Device and app information (model, OS version, language, app version) | Showing ads that work on your device; diagnostics |
| Ad interactions (ads shown, taps, video completion) | Rewarding you, ad measurement, fraud prevention |
| Diagnostics (crash and performance data from the ads SDK) | Keeping ads working reliably |
Data is encrypted in transit. Google's use of this information is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
4. Your choices about ads
- Consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland): before personalised ads are shown, the game asks for your consent using Google's consent tool. You can review or change your choice at any time from Settings → Privacy options in the game.
- US state privacy laws: where applicable, you can opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for ads from the same Privacy options screen.
- Advertising ID: you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads on most Android phones). After deleting it, ads are no longer personalised by that ID.
- Remove Ads: if offered, buying "Remove Ads" turns off the full-screen ads between games. Rewarded videos stay optional.
5. In-app purchases
Purchases are processed by Google Play. We never receive your card or payment details; Google Play only tells the game that a purchase was completed. See the Google Privacy Policy linked above.
6. What we do not collect
The game has no sign-in and does not ask for or collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, microphone, camera or precise (GPS) location. We do not sell personal information. Apart from the advertising data handled by Google described above, the game does not send data to us or to any analytics service.
7. Children
Bin It! is intended for a general audience aged 13 and over and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the game, contact us and we will help remove it.
8. Data retention and deletion
Your game data stays on your device until you uninstall the game or clear its data in Android settings, which deletes it. Android backups follow your Google account's backup settings. Advertising data is retained by Google according to its policies; you can reset your advertising ID as described in section 4.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EEA/UK or under US state laws such as the CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent. Because we do not hold personal information about you on our own systems, most requests are best handled through the in-game Privacy options or directly with Google. You can also contact us and we will help.
10. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update this page and the effective date above. Significant changes will also be mentioned in the game's update notes.
