How Gebound handles player data, local storage, and user privacy
Welcome to Gebound. We take your privacy seriously, and we want to be completely open with you about how this game works and what information (if any) we collect. This policy is written in plain language so you can clearly understand it.
Who We Are
Gebound is a kinetic physics arcade game developed and published by Peak-Blox. We are an independent game studio. If you have any questions about your privacy, you can reach us directly at gebound@peak-blox.com.
What Information We Store
To let you play, customize your setups, and save your progress, we store a minimal amount of information. Here's exactly what and why:
Your Display Name: The nickname you choose to show in the game (default: "Player"). This is visible to other players on global leaderboards.
Your Game Progress: Your high scores, bounce counts, and run telemetry so we can verify fair play and show your ranking on global leaderboards.
A Guest Device Token: A random code saved locally on your device to remember your profile, unlocked cosmetic ball skins, and protect your scores from being overwritten.
We do not collect your real name, email address, phone number, physical location, or sensitive personal information.
Cookies & Local Storage
We use your device's built-in local storage to remember your preferences — like your chosen ball skin, wall profile slots, audio settings, and high score. This data stays on your device and is not sold to any outside company.
We may also display advertisements to keep the game 100% free. Our advertising partners (like Google AdMob) may use pseudonymous device identifiers (such as the Android Advertising ID) to show relevant ads. You can manage or reset advertising identifiers at any time through your Android device settings.
Do We Share Your Information?
We do not sell your information to anyone. Here are the only cases where your data might be shared:
Leaderboards: Your display name and score are shown publicly on global leaderboards if you achieve a top rank.
Ad Networks: Our advertising partners (such as Google AdMob) may receive anonymized technical data to serve ads. They do not receive your custom wall layouts, profile slots, or private gameplay data from us directly.
Legal Requirements: If we are ever required by law to share information, we will comply — though we collect minimal data by design.
Your Rights & Control
Delete your data: You can clear your local data at any time by clearing the game's storage in your device settings, or request leaderboard record removal by contacting us at gebound@peak-blox.com.
Change your name: You can update your player display name at any time upon submitting a new high score or via the player profile menu.
Play anonymously: You can play freely without ever creating an account or providing personal info.
Children's Privacy
Gebound is a family-friendly kinetic arcade game. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at gebound@peak-blox.com and we will delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
If we ever make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the date on this page. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us at gebound@peak-blox.com.
