What Chemibloom knows about you

This page is for players. It tells you what the game keeps about you, why, who sees it and how long. The same cards are in the game, under More → Settings → Privacy.

Grown-ups can read the whole privacy policy. There is a part for parents at the end of this page.

What the game needs

The game cannot keep your lab without these.

Your lab save

  1. Your phone
  2. Firebase, for us
What
Your lab: its machines, its scientists, its missions and the name you gave it.
Why
So your lab is safe, and you can take it to a new phone.
Who sees it
Only us. Google keeps it for us, on its Firebase servers.
How long
Until you delete your account. Old copies go after 30 days.

In the game: More, then Account, then Delete my account.

Your player number

  1. Your phone
  2. Firebase, for us
What
A random number for your account. It is not your name or your email.
Why
So your lab, your rewards and our replies find you.
Who sees it
Us, and our help desk if you send it to us.
How long
Until you delete your account.

In the game: More, then Account. You can copy it there.

What you choose

You can say no to each of these and still play.

Purchases

  1. Your phone
  2. Apple or Google
  3. RevenueCat
  4. Us
What
What you bought, when, and the price. Never your card.
Why
So you get what you paid for, on every phone.
Who sees it
Apple or Google takes the payment. RevenueCat tells us it went through.
How long
RevenueCat keeps it for us until you delete your account. Apple or Google keep their own record.

In the game: More, then Account shows what you spent this month.

Players under 13 never get this.

Ads

  1. Your phone
  2. Google
What
That an ad played, and if you watched it to the end.
Why
So you get the reward you chose to watch an ad for.
Who sees it
Google shows the ad. It never uses who you are or what you like.
How long
Google keeps its own records. We keep a note of each ad you watched for 90 days.

Play statistics

  1. Your phone
  2. Google Analytics
  3. Us
What
Which screens you open and what you do in the game. Not your name.
Why
So we can see what is fun, and fix what is not.
Who sees it
Us, through Google Analytics.
How long
Up to 14 months. Then it is deleted.

In the game: More, then Settings, then Privacy. Switch Statistics on or off.

Players under 13 never get this.

Reminders

  1. Your phone
What
Reminders are made on your phone. Nothing is sent to us.
Why
To tell you when a storm comes or a crate is ready, if you want that.
Who sees it
Only you, on your phone.
How long
On your phone, until each one shows.

In the game: More, then Settings, then Notifications.

Event boards

  1. Your phone
  2. Us
  3. About 50 players
What
Your lab name and your score in an event.
Why
So you can see how you do against other labs.
Who sees it
About 50 players in your event see a made-up lab name and your score.
How long
90 days after the event ends.

For parents

Ask to Buy

On an iPhone, Family Sharing can ask you before your child buys anything. Turn it on in Settings, under your name, then Family Sharing and Ask to Buy.

Google Play family controls

On Android, Google's Family Link lets you say yes to each purchase first, and set time limits for each app.

Deleting the data

In the game, More, then Account, then Delete my account removes the lab and the account. In the same place, Get a copy of my data shows what we keep, and Ask to delete something deletes one thing. We answer within 30 days.

Players under 13

A player under 13 gets no play statistics and no purchases. Their ads never use who they are.
