DuoBop Privacy notice

1. Scope

This notice covers DuoBop, published under the Rivertake brand, for the Android game. The Google Play package is com.rivertake.duobop. This is the game’s own notice; the Rivertake website has a separate notice.

2. Local game data

DuoBop stores completed and unlocked levels, puzzle and rescue progress, personal records, the current run, language, music, sound, vibration and introductory-help preferences on your device. The daily challenge is generated locally from the date; it is not a shared online account or ranking service. These functions do not automatically send your game progress or records to Rivertake.

No Rivertake player account, Google Play Games sign-in, online leaderboard, chat, separate gameplay analytics or Rivertake cloud-save service is included. The game does not request access to your contacts, precise location, camera, microphone, photographs or documents. Choosing vibration uses the device’s vibration function.

3. Google Play purchases

When available, the one-time full-game purchase is handled by Google Play. The app receives product and purchase information, including the purchase state, a purchase token, signed receipt and acknowledgement state, to verify and restore access. Valid signed purchase information is stored privately on the device for offline access and checked again with Google Play. Rivertake does not operate a separate purchase-verification server for this edition.

Google handles the store account and payment information under its own notices; payment-card numbers are not provided to the game. Pending or unverified purchases do not grant full access. Clearing local app data does not cancel a Google Play purchase. A valid purchase can be restored through Google Play; refunds or revocation can remove access.

4. Advertising data

In an Android edition with advertising enabled, the free game uses Google Mobile Ads and Google’s User Messaging Platform. Google documents processing of IP addresses and approximate location derived from them, device or account identifiers, app and ad interactions, and diagnostics for advertising, measurement and fraud prevention. Google states that these data are encrypted in transit with TLS.

The current Android manifest removes permission to access the Android advertising ID. This does not prevent all other SDK identifiers or data processing. See Google’s SDK data disclosures and Google’s information for partner apps.

5. Advertising choices

The app requests ads with personalization disabled and stricter protections for younger users, applied to every player without collecting or inferring age. This can limit ad availability and mean that no consent form is shown. The app updates Google’s privacy status and checks whether an ad request is allowed. If Google makes a privacy form available, the Language menu’s Privacy choices action reopens it. Withdrawing consent applies to future processing.

Ads can be eligible after a completed free attempt, not during the active board. Availability is not guaranteed. Verified full-game ownership stops advertising requests. This does not erase data already processed by providers. Google’s independent processing is described in its Privacy Policy.

6. Purposes and legal bases

Where the GDPR applies, processing needed to provide the requested game and fulfill a purchase relies on Article 6(1)(b). Remembering requested preferences and handling non-contractual support relies on our legitimate interests in a functional game and answering enquiries under Article 6(1)(f), subject to your rights. Optional processing requiring consent relies on Article 6(1)(a). Necessary device storage is separate from optional advertising storage; where German law applies, Section 25 TDDDG governs access to device information. Providers explain their own purposes and legal bases in their notices and applicable consent forms.

7. Support and opening this page

If you email us, we receive your email address, message and any files you choose to send. We use them to respond and handle necessary follow-up. Please do not include passwords, full payment-card details or unrelated personal files. Our email provider processes support mail on our behalf; provider details are in the website notice.

Opening this page or another external link uses your browser and sends technical connection information, including your IP address, to that website’s hosting services. This page contains no advertising, analytics script, tracking pixel or remotely loaded font. Website hosting and support-mail details are described in the separate Rivertake website privacy notice.

8. Retention and deletion

Local game data remain until cleared or removed. Android’s Clear storage function removes the app’s local data; uninstalling normally removes those app files. The Android build disables application cloud backup and data extraction in its configuration. Device-vendor transfer behavior can still vary. Rivertake cannot remotely erase your local progress.

Support correspondence is retained while needed to handle and document the enquiry and necessary follow-up, and longer only where legal retention or legal claims require it. Google and other disclosed providers apply their own retention rules and account controls. Removing the game does not delete their independently held payment or advertising records.

9. Providers and international processing

Google’s relevant entity and advertising partners depend on the service and region and are identified in their notices and applicable privacy messages. Provider processing may take place outside your country, including in the United States. Google describes safeguards such as adequacy decisions, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses in its transfer information. Rivertake does not sell your locally stored game progress or use it for decisions with legal or similarly significant effects.

10. Your rights

Where applicable, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction and portability, withdraw consent, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. Withdrawal does not affect prior lawful processing. Contact us for requests concerning Rivertake’s processing; use the relevant provider’s controls for data it holds independently. You may complain to a competent data-protection authority, including the Rheinland-Pfalz authority. There is no separate Rivertake player account to delete.

11. Changes

We update this notice when the game’s actual data practices change and show the revision date above. A store content rating is separate from privacy choices. The game does not collect a birth date; Google account, device and family settings can apply additional restrictions. New online services or additional data collection require an updated notice before deployment.

12. Controller and contact

Rivertake is the publishing brand of the sole trader responsible for our processing:
