Cove Tap Balls Privacy Policy
Updated on May 27, 2026
Protecting user privacy is our top priority, and we ensure you have full control over your personal data. For simplicity in this policy, all users will be referred to as “you”. This document clearly explains how we collect, store and process your personal information when you use our mobile game, hereinafter named the “Application”. We recommend that you read this policy thoroughly to understand our data management rules. By launching or using the Application and its associated services, you acknowledge that you have read, comprehended and unconditionally agreed to all clauses stated in this privacy statement.
Collection and Use of User Information
1. Game Activity Data
We collect various types of information that reflect your gaming routines and interactions within the Application. The collected data includes, but is not limited to: your click records, page browsing trails, content access logs, application launch histories, permission settings, usage records of built-in features, names and quantities of other installed programs, device brand and model, current network status, Firebase device ID, registration country of your SIM card, system display language, and cookie data accessible to ad service providers. All the above information will only be shared with duly authorized third-party analytics platforms, namely Firebase, Facebook Analytics, along with our in-house data statistics system ECS.
2. Device Information
We gather partial hardware and network data from your device to keep improving and polishing your gaming experience. The specific range of collected content will differ according to your usage habits, privacy settings and the game features you access. This covers SDK and API versions, operating platform types, timestamps, unique application IDs and version information, exclusive device identifiers, device manufacturer brands, operating system versions, system language and time zone settings, as well as network types including Wi-Fi. We also keep track of the game’s listing status on Google Play, ad display formats, partnered ad platforms and unique IDs for ad services. The Android ID retrieved from your device will be retained to record your interactions with in-game advertisements, and this identifier is classified as personally identifiable information.
3. Ad-Related Data
We utilize the advertising ID assigned to your Android device to deliver tailored ads and carry out relevant advertising performance analysis. This identifier does not contain any sensitive data that can directly reveal your personal identity or link to your private information. In addition, it will not be associated with permanent device markers such as SSAID, MAC address or IMEI.
4. Network Information
When the Application is running with an internet connection, we will collect your current network type (Wi-Fi or cellular network) and public IP address. Such information is necessary to sustain stable connections and ensure the game runs smoothly.
5. Data from Third-Party Monetization and Analytics Tools
Our Application incorporates a variety of third-party software development kits (SDKs). These tools may independently collect the following categories of user data:
l Google Advertising ID: Used within Google’s advertising ecosystem to facilitate ad delivery and regular service operations.
l Device profile information: Including device model categories, hardware specifications and the regional location where you access the game.
l Anti-cheating and anti-fraud data: Deployed to filter out invalid ad clicks and safeguard the stability, authenticity and fairness of the advertising ecosystem.
l User demographic information: Derived and analyzed from IP geolocation data to summarize user activity trends across different regions.
l Advertising, marketing and behavioral analytics metrics: Adopted by third-party SDKs to optimize promotional strategies, conduct market research and sort out user behavioral patterns.
l Advertiser-accessible cookies: Stored locally on your device or obtained by ad service providers to support advertising operations.
Data gathered by the above third-party SDKs is governed by the respective privacy policies of each service provider. Our cooperating third parties consist of ad monetization partners including Google Admob, Facebook Audience Network and IronSource, as well as data analytics vendors such as Firebase, Facebook Analytics and our internal operation management system. You may refer to the section titled “Third-Party Partners’ Privacy Policies”, where official links to their respective privacy notices are provided for your review.
Legal Bases for Personal Data Processing
All personal data processing activities we conduct adhere strictly to the objectives stated in this privacy policy, and such operations are supported by the following legal foundations:
1. Fulfillment of Contractual Obligations
We process your personal data to fulfill the agreements we have with you. This enables us to provide in-game services and verify your user identity, for instance, preserving your account information so you can log in normally and use all features of the game without interruption.
2. Statutory Compliance Obligations
We also process user information to meet the requirements of local laws and official regulatory provisions. This involves retaining financial records in compliance with standard accounting practices, and disclosing relevant user data to judicial authorities and regulators when mandated by law.
3. Legitimate Business Interests
We conduct data processing to enhance user engagement, send service notifications, reinforce platform security, and share product announcements and version updates. By analyzing user feedback and behavioral records, we continuously improve service standards and optimize the overall user experience.
4. Explicit User Consent
For certain specific scenarios, we will only start processing your personal data after you provide clear and voluntary authorization. This covers the deployment of non-essential local cookies and data sharing for personalized advertisement delivery. Kindly note that several optional game functions depend on this approved data processing to operate normally.
Methods of Information Collection
1. Automatic Collection During Game Use
Each time you launch and run Cove Tap Balls, our internal system will automatically gather the types of information listed earlier. All collection activities are carried out in full compliance with this privacy policy and prevailing laws and regulations.
2. Data Acquired from Third-Party Platforms
If you obtain and install the game through third-party application marketplaces such as Google Play, we may receive a limited range of user-related data, including unique device identifiers and installation records. All such data transfers comply with the privacy rules of corresponding third-party platforms and relevant legal requirements.
Information Security and Protection Measures
We place high priority on the security of your personal information and have established a complete set of protection systems. Advanced encryption technologies are deployed to guard against data leakage, unauthorized access, improper disclosure, malicious modification and accidental data loss. All data, whether stored locally or transmitted across networks, is fully encrypted to ensure its completeness and safety.
We implement strict access control mechanisms, limiting access to personal data solely to staff who have legitimate work needs and formal authorization. Every data access action is logged in detail, and regular internal compliance reviews are conducted on an ongoing basis. In addition, we perform periodic security checks and vulnerability scans on the game’s technical architecture and cloud servers. This allows us to discover and fix potential hazards in a timely manner, and effectively fend off cyber threats including hacker intrusions and malware attacks.
User Privacy Rights
1. Right to Withdraw Consent
You may withdraw any authorization you have granted for us to process your personal data at any time and for any reason. Revoking your approval will not nullify any lawful data activities carried out prior to the withdrawal, nor will it impact processing work completed by external service providers before you cancel your permission.
2. Right to Access and Amend Personal Data
In compliance with local laws and regulatory requirements, you are entitled to apply to view your personal records stored on our platform. You also have the option to request updates or corrections if your personal information contains errors or missing content.
3. Right to Obtain and Update Personal Data
You can submit a written request to obtain a free copy of all your personal information held by our system. Where permitted by law, we may charge a reasonable handling fee for related services. To protect the legal interests of other users and external parties, we reserve the right to restrict access to certain types of information when necessary. If you cannot revise incorrect data through in-game settings or official channels, you may submit a formal request and we will complete the modification for you.
4. Right to Request Data Deletion
You are entitled to apply for the deletion of your personal information under the following scenarios:
l The collected data is no longer needed to deliver services and conduct daily operations;
l You have fully withdrawn the consent given for data processing;
l You object to continued data processing, and we have no valid legitimate business reasons to proceed with such operations.
5. Right to Restrict Data Processing
You may request us to suspend or limit the processing of your personal information in the situations listed below:
l You dispute the accuracy of your personal data. Processing will be put on hold during verification, which may temporarily affect your normal use of game services;
l You believe our data handling practices are unlawful, and choose to impose restrictions instead of requesting full data removal;
l We no longer require the data for its original purpose, yet you need it retained for legal disputes, or while we evaluate whether our legitimate business needs prevail over your objection.
While data processing is restricted, the relevant information can only be used with your explicit approval, for resolving legal disputes, safeguarding third-party rights, or addressing matters related to major public interests. We will inform you promptly once the restriction is lifted.
6. Right to Object to Data Processing
You have the right to raise objections against our data processing activities conducted based on your consent, contractual obligations or legitimate business interests, in accordance with applicable laws. We may only resume processing if it is required for legal proceedings or expressly allowed by relevant regulations.
7. Obligation to Notify Third-Party Partners
If your personal data has been shared with external service providers, we will inform them of your requests for data correction, deletion or processing restrictions. This obligation shall not apply if notification is technically impossible or would result in an excessive administrative burden. Upon your formal application, we will also disclose the identities of these third-party recipients.
8. Right to Contest Fully Automated Decision-Making
Unless otherwise exempted by law, you have the right to refuse being subject to decisions generated solely by automated data analysis and user profiling. This applies particularly when such decisions may lead to legal consequences or cause substantial harm to your legitimate personal interests.
9. Right to Data Portability
When your personal information is processed based on contractual agreements, your explicit consent or fully automated systems, you may ask us to provide your data in a standard format readable by electronic devices. If technically viable and without infringing upon the legal rights of third parties, we can directly transfer your data to another designated data controller as you request.
10. Right to Submit Complaints
If you believe your privacy rights have been infringed, you may contact us via the email kyzmobil@gmail.com. We will take all reasonable steps to address your issues in a timely manner. You also reserve the right to file an official complaint with the local data protection authority in your country of residence, place of work, or the region where the alleged violation occurred.
California Privacy Rights
Individuals who currently reside within the state of California are eligible for supplementary privacy protections under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and all additional protective privileges are elaborated in full down below. To claim the exclusive entitlements granted by the CCPA regulatory framework, you can refer to the subsequent segment titled “Exercising Your California Privacy Rights”. The clauses outlined in this chapter only apply to California residents; end users residing outside of California shall abide by the specifications stipulated in our core Privacy Policy document.
1. Right to Access Personal Data & Related Disclosure Details
You are legally entitled to submit inquiry requests and acquire comprehensive particulars of all personal data we have accumulated pertaining to you over the preceding twelve months. This access entitlement covers multiple core dimensions as listed below:
l All categories of personal datasets collected by our team that are associated with your user profile;
l The original sources and channels through which we acquired the aforementioned personal information;
l The commercial operational rationales behind the collection and utilization of your private data;
l Every single piece of personalized user record tied to your registered account and stored within our systems.
2. Right to Request Permanent Data Removal
You are authorized to file an official formal petition to demand the elimination of any personal data we have gathered directly from you. Once we complete the verification process and approve your application, we will erase the corresponding information from our internal storage systems, and compel our third-party service collaborators to execute identical data removal procedures. Nevertheless, this mandatory deletion rule can be exempted if our team or partnered vendors need to retain relevant data for the following legal and legitimate purposes:
l Delivering gaming-related services that you have actively subscribed to and consented to utilize;
l Diagnosing technical malfunctions, resolving system bugs and optimizing overall operational stability;
l Complying with the regulations of the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act, including California Penal Code Section 1546 and all supplementary amended provisions;
l Conducting scientific research, historical collation and statistical analysis for public welfare, while adhering to ethical standards and existing privacy regulations;
l Executing legally binding statutory responsibilities or other scenarios where data preservation is mandated by relevant laws.
3. Data Retention Specifications
We are permitted to preserve your personal data for an extended duration on the premise that you have provided unambiguous authorization and never revoked such consent. Additionally, we may prolong the data storage period to satisfy statutory requirements and official regulatory benchmarks. In the event that we permanently terminate the operation of the game and all ancillary supporting services in the future, we will completely wipe and permanently eliminate all user personal information stored across our databases and cloud server clusters.
4. Protocol for Processing User Data Petitions
Our team pledges to respond to all authenticated user data applications within 45 calendar days from the date we receive the request. In case unpredictable emergent situations necessitate a processing delay—with the cumulative extended time strictly capped at 90 days as the legal upper limit—we will notify you ahead of schedule via email, phone calls or other electronic communication channels, alongside a detailed explanation accounting for the delayed processing.
Under conventional circumstances, we process user data requests and furnish corresponding information free of charge. Even so, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable administrative service fee if a submitted request is overly broad in scope, submitted repeatedly without valid justification, or lacks proper legitimate grounds. We will clarify the charging rationale and provide a detailed cost breakdown prior to collecting any fees from users.
5. Anti-Discrimination Undertaking
Exercising the privacy rights endowed by the CCPA will never result in discriminatory behavior from our side. We will never block your access to gaming services, impose inequitable differentiated pricing, or degrade service quality solely due to your exercise of privacy-related privileges. It should be noted that these CCPA protective clauses cannot supersede or invalidate the service agreements that you have previously reviewed and formally accepted.
6. Privacy Notice for Minors’ Data Collection
Our gaming product and all attached supporting features are not developed for end users under the age of 13, and we never intentionally gather personal identifiable information from underage children belonging to this age group. If we unintentionally obtain data from individuals under 13 years old by accident, we will immediately delete such user records permanently from our servers and databases.
If you are a parent or legal guardian and find that your underage child (under 13) has voluntarily shared their personal information with our platform, please reach out to our support team at your earliest convenience so we can complete data removal procedures promptly. Users between the ages of 13 and 16 must grant explicit authorization before gaining access to our services. Parents and legal guardians of teenage users are welcome to contact us at any time to raise inquiries, voice concerns or submit data-related petitions regarding their children’s personal information.
Privacy Rights for EU and UK Residents
Individuals living in the United Kingdom or any member state of the European Union benefit from enhanced privacy safeguards established under European data protection regulations. All special rights granted to these users are outlined below:
l Right to confirmation and clarification: You may request formal written confirmation regarding whether we process your personal information, along with complete details about the data we maintain.

l Right to data deletion: You may submit a request for the permanent and complete removal of your personal data from all our databases and storage infrastructure.
l Right to restriction of processing: You may ask us to pause or limit data processing activities if we lack a valid legal basis to handle your information, preventing unauthorized or improper usage.
l Right to data portability: You may obtain a copy of the personal data you have provided in a standardized, machine-readable format, enabling you to transfer the data to other entities or manage it independently.
To assert any of the rights listed above, please submit a formal request via email to kyzmobil@gmail.com. We will review and respond to your application within one calendar month of receipt.
