Which version this covers

This policy covers Shut Up Fly, including the optional Watch / Win Weapons feature in the Armoury. The advertising practices below apply when the advertising feature is enabled.

Information the app uses

Shut Up Fly may request access to the iPhone camera and motion sensors. These inputs are processed live on the device so flies can react to movement, device motion, and the player's approach.

Camera images are never recorded or saved. The game does not use the microphone.

No sensor uploads

Camera images and raw gameplay sensor readings are not sent to the developer.

Information stored on the device

Shut Up Fly stores progress, settings, local scores, Hall of Fame entries, and a player-chosen local nickname on the device. Versions with rewarded ads also store earned weapon inventory, reward-limit records, and records that prevent duplicate rewards. This data may be included in Apple-operated device backup or transfer services.

Apple Game Center

Shut Up Fly optionally uses Apple Game Center for authentication and online leaderboards. If you are signed into Game Center, the app may submit scores and retrieve leaderboard information through Apple. Game Center is operated by Apple and is subject to Apple’s privacy practices. Shut Up Fly does not send camera images or raw sensor readings to Game Center.

Sharing

When you choose to share a score card, Apple’s system share sheet lets you select the destination. Sharing occurs only after your action. Information sent to another app or service is then governed by that service’s privacy practices.

Optional rewarded ads

In versions with Watch / Win Weapons, you can choose to watch a Google AdMob ad for one deployment of the weapon selected in the Armoury. You can continue ordinary gameplay without watching ads. The app requests non-personalized ads and disables Google's publisher first-party identifier. Non-personalized ads still involve data processing.

Google's advertising SDK may process IP addresses (including estimated general location), device identifiers, ad views and interactions, crash logs, and performance information to deliver and measure ads and prevent fraud. Google's consent service also processes privacy choices. The app does not give Google camera images or raw motion readings.

Where required, a consent message appears before ads can be requested. You can review available choices through Privacy in the app or Ad privacy choices in the reward offer. Declining consent does not prevent ordinary gameplay; it may affect ad availability.

For details about Google's processing and controls, see Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

Deleting local data

Local Shut Up Fly data can be removed by deleting the app. Game Center information is managed through the player’s Apple account and Apple’s services.

Children's privacy

Shut Up Fly is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed at children. The app does not offer a developer-operated account.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the effective date below will be updated before the revised practices take effect.
