Privacy Policy — Baton

Last updated: 25 October 2026

The short version

Baton: Super Hard Physics Game has no accounts and does not ask for your name, email or any other personal details. Your progress is saved on your own device. The game shows ads through Google AdMob, which collects some device and usage data as described below. If you allow it when the game asks, it also shares gameplay statistics through GameAnalytics so the levels can be balanced. Nothing is sold.

What stays on your device

• Your progress: levels unlocked and cleared, drops, play time, best throws, the levels whose solutions you have unlocked, and your settings are stored in the app's own storage on your phone. They are not uploaded to the developer.
• Uninstalling the app deletes this data. If Android backup is on, it may be included in your device backup, handled by Android and your Google account, not by this app.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The game shows two kinds of ads:

• Optional rewarded ads: from level 10, you can choose to watch one to unlock a level's solution ("Watch how"). The solutions of the first nine levels are free.
• Interstitial ads: a full-screen ad shown occasionally between levels, from level 10 onwards.

There are no banner ads. Ads are served by Google AdMob, which may collect:

• Your device's advertising ID and other device identifiers
• Your IP address, used to estimate your approximate location (country or city)
• Device information (model, operating system, language) and how you interact with ads
• App performance and diagnostic information, such as launch time and stability

Google uses this to show ads, measure them and prevent fraud. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, the game asks for your consent through Google's consent form before any ads load, and you can change your choice at any time under Settings → Privacy options. You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalised ads in your Android settings (Settings → Google → Ads). See how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

Gameplay statistics (GameAnalytics)

When you first open the game, it explains what it does with your data and asks whether you want to share gameplay statistics. Nothing is sent unless you choose "Allow", and you can change this at any time under Settings → Share stats. If you allow it, the game sends to GameAnalytics:

• Game events: throws started, levels cleared, throws that drop or are restarted, passes made, the time a throw and a level took, how many drops a level took, "Watch how" use and unlocks, and ads watched
• Error reports if the game crashes
• Your approximate location (country), worked out from your IP address
• Device identifiers and device information (such as model, operating system and app version), as described in GameAnalytics' privacy notice

This is used only to understand which levels are too hard or too easy and to improve the game. It is not linked to your name or contact details, because the game never has them. GameAnalytics processes this data on the developer's behalf; see the GameAnalytics privacy notice.

What the app does not do

• No accounts, sign-in, chat or cloud saves
• No access to your contacts, photos, camera, microphone, messages or precise location
• No sale of personal data
• No in-app purchases at present

Permissions

• Internet and network state: to load ads and, if you allow it, send gameplay statistics
• Vibration: for small vibrations when you pass the motion on, drop, or clear a level (can be turned off in Settings → Vibration)
• Advertising ID: used by AdMob as described above

Data retention and deletion

Data collected by AdMob is kept by Google under its own retention settings, and data collected by GameAnalytics is kept under its data retention policy. Because the game has no accounts, the developer cannot look up or identify your data. To stop gameplay statistics, turn off Settings → Share stats. To stop all collection, uninstall the app; you can also reset your advertising ID in Android settings. You can also ask GameAnalytics directly about your data at privacy@gameanalytics.com.

Children

The game is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this address with a new date above.
