Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 30, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Barely Working Games (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in the mobile games, apps, websites, and related services we publish or operate (together, the “Services”). It applies to all of our games, whatever the genre, including games we release in the future. What a particular game actually collects depends on its features and the third-party software development kits (SDKs) it includes. By using a Service you agree to this policy.

1. Information we and our providers may collect

Depending on the game, we or third-party providers integrated into it may collect or receive:

• Device and advertising identifiers, such as the Android advertising ID (where available and permitted) and similar device or app instance IDs;
• Device and app information, such as device model, operating system version, app version, language, screen settings, and network type;
• IP address and the approximate location that can be inferred from it (we do not collect precise GPS location unless a game clearly asks for it);
• Ad and usage information, such as ads shown, ad interactions, game sessions, levels reached, and settings;
• Diagnostic information, such as crash logs and performance data;
• Purchase information, where a game offers in-app purchases. Payments are processed by Google Play; we do not receive your card or payment details;
• Information you send us, such as your email address and message when you contact support.

Our games do not require you to give us your name, contact list, photos, or microphone access. If a future game offers accounts, online play, or other features that need additional information, we will describe it in the game or its store listing.

2. How we use information

• to provide, operate, and maintain our games and their features;
• to show and measure advertisements, and to keep our games free to play;
• to understand how games are used and to fix bugs, improve performance, and develop new content;
• to detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security problems;
• to process and restore purchases; and
• to respond to support requests and comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information in exchange for money.

3. Third-party services and sharing

Our games may include third-party SDKs that collect information under their own privacy policies, including:

• Advertising: Google AdMob and Google Mobile Ads SDK, and any other ad network or mediation partner we add. See the Google Privacy Policy and the Google Mobile Ads SDK data disclosure;
• Analytics and crash reporting: services such as Firebase or similar tools, where included;
• Payments: Google Play Billing, where a game offers in-app purchases;
• Hosting and support providers that help us run our Services.

These providers may receive device identifiers, IP address, and ad or usage information so they can provide their services. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights, safety, or security, or in connection with a business transfer. Each game’s Google Play “Data safety” section lists the data types that game collects or shares.

4. Advertising choices and consent

Our games are free and show ads. Whether ads are personalized depends on your region, applicable law, your consent choices, and your device settings. Where required (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland), we ask for consent before personalized advertising. You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of ad personalization in your Android settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads, or Settings → Google → Ads). Opting out of personalization does not remove ads altogether.

5. Children’s privacy

Our games are intended for a general audience, and each game’s age rating is shown on its Google Play page. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the higher age required in your country) in violation of applicable law. For any game designed for children, we configure ads and SDKs to meet the applicable requirements, such as Google Play’s Families Policy. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us at the email below and we will delete it.

6. Data retention and security

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy, then delete or anonymize it. Support emails are kept only as long as reasonably necessary to help you and keep appropriate records. Information held by third-party providers is kept under their own policies. We use reasonable measures, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) where applicable, to protect information, but no method of storage or transmission is completely secure.

7. Your rights and data deletion requests

You can ask us to tell you what information we hold about you, or to correct or delete it, by emailing support@barelyworkinggames.com with the subject “Privacy request” and the name of the game. We will respond as required by applicable law. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or California law), you may also have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Because our games generally do not use accounts, we may not be able to identify data tied only to an advertising ID; you can reset your advertising ID in your device settings. Data held by Google or other providers may need to be managed through their own tools.

8. International processing

We are based in Pakistan, and our providers (including Google) may process information in other countries, including countries with different data protection laws than yours. Where required, providers apply appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our games, SDKs, or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date above shows the latest revision. Material changes will be posted on this page.
