Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 1, 2025 · Last Updated: June 1, 2025

🛡️ Summary: Balloon Pop stores only your local high score. We collect no personal data, no accounts, and no tracking of any kind.

Balloons Float Up — Your Data Stays Down (With You)

Balloon Pop is an uplifting game where everything floats skyward. Your personal data is the exception. It does not float anywhere. It does not drift to our servers. It stays exactly where you are. Your high score is stored in localStorage under the key ball_best. It is written by JavaScript running in your browser. It cannot be read by us. It persists on your device until you clear your browser's site data for this page.

Server Logs and External Requests

When you load Balloon Pop, our web server logs the HTTP request: your IP address, browser user-agent, request timestamp, and the URL path. We retain these entries for 30 days for server monitoring and security. They are not used commercially. Balloon Pop loads Pacifico from Google Fonts — a single CDN request at page load. No advertising network operates within Balloon Pop. No session recorder is running. No analytics SDK fires events. No social-media button tracks you across sites. We are not running a data business. We are running a balloon game.

Children, Rights, and Policy Updates

Balloons are for everyone. Balloon Pop is suitable for all ages. We collect no personal data. Parents need not take any action. Any future change to these practices will be described here, with a concrete effective date, before the change takes effect.

Your Data Rights

Players in jurisdictions with formal privacy rights — including GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, and similar legislation — may request information about data we hold. Because we retain only brief, anonymised server-access logs, such requests will ordinarily confirm that we hold no personal data linked to any individual. We respond within legally required timeframes. To submit a request, use the official Balloon Pop website or repository contact channel.

No Sale, No Sharing

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share any data with third parties for commercial purposes. If we were ever legally compelled to disclose server-log data — for example, by a valid court order — we would comply with applicable law. We would not do so voluntarily for commercial reasons, because we have no commercial relationship with any data buyer or broker.
