Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 19, 2025

Welcome to Flappy Fish! This Privacy Policy explains how TyyOn Games ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information in relation to our web game Flappy Fish (the "Game") and associated website https://flappyfish.io (the "Site"), collectively referred to as the "Service." Your privacy is important to us.

By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information to provide and improve our Service:

• Leaderboard Information: When you achieve a high score that qualifies for our leaderboard and choose to submit it, we collect the player name (up to 10 characters) you provide, your score, and a timestamp. This data is stored using Google's Firebase Realtime Database and is publicly visible on the leaderboard. Submission of your name and score to the public leaderboard is optional. If you do not wish for your score to be public, you can choose not to submit it.
• Gameplay Data (Local): The game may store your personal highest score locally on your device's browser storage. This data is not sent to us or stored on our servers unless you choose to submit it to the global leaderboard.
• Advertising Data (Third-Party - Google AdSense): Our Service may use Google AdSense to display advertisements if you choose to enable them or if they are part of the service in the future. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Service and/or other sites on the Internet. Google may collect data such as device identifiers, IP Address, and ad interaction information to provide personalized ads. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings: Google Ad Settings. For more information on how Google uses data, please review Google's Privacy & Terms: Google Ad Policies.
• Website Analytics Data (Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous information about your visit to our Site, such as pages viewed, time spent on pages, browser type, operating system, and referring URLs. This helps us understand how users interact with our Site and improve its functionality and content. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you. For more information on Google Analytics, please review Google's privacy policy: Google Privacy Policy. You can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Contact Information: If you contact us directly via email, we will collect the information you provide (such as your name, email address, and the content of your message) in order to respond to your inquiry, provide support, or address your feedback.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To provide, operate, and maintain our Service, including the Flappy Fish game and the public leaderboard.
• To display third-party advertisements through Google AdSense (if enabled), which helps support the Service.
• To analyze usage patterns and trends to understand how our Service is used, allowing us to improve its features, design, and user experience.
• To respond to your comments, questions, and requests, and to provide customer service and support.
• To enforce our terms, conditions, and policies, and to comply with legal obligations.
• To protect the security and integrity of our Service and our users.

3. Data Storage and Security

Leaderboard data (player name, score, timestamp) is stored on Google's Firebase Realtime Database. We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, please be aware that no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information as described below:

• Public Leaderboard: Player names and scores submitted to the leaderboard are publicly visible to all users of the Service.
• Advertising Partners: If ads are enabled, we share information with Google AdSense for the purpose of serving personalized advertisements as described in Section 1.
• Service Providers: We use third-party services like Google Firebase (for database hosting and leaderboard functionality) and Google Analytics (for website analytics). These providers have access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency), or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect and defend our rights or property, prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service, protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public, or protect against legal liability.

5. Your Choices and Rights

• Leaderboard Submission: Submitting your name and score to the public leaderboard is entirely optional.
• Personalized Advertising Opt-Out: You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting your Google Ad Settings. You can also opt out of interest-based advertising from many third-party ad networks by visiting the DAA opt-out page or the EDAA opt-out page (for users in Europe).
• Analytics Opt-Out: You can prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Accessing or Deleting Your Information: If you have submitted a score to the leaderboard and wish to have it removed, or have other queries about your data, please contact us. We will make reasonable efforts to comply with your request, subject to any legal or operational retention needs.

6. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the relevant age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
