Busy Stop — Privacy Policy
Published by Bindu Intelligence
Last updated: 6 November 2026
The short version
Busy Stop is a puzzle game. It has no accounts, no sign-in, no chat and no servers of its own. Your progress lives on your phone. We never ask for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos or precise location. The only company that receives information from the game is Google: for ads, purchases, game statistics and crash reports.
What stays on your phone
Your progress — the level you are on, your coins, your boosters, your daily rewards and your settings — is saved on your device, using Android's normal app storage. It is not sent to us. If Android's own backup is turned on, Android may include it in your device backup with Google, so your progress can come back on a new phone (Android Settings → Google → Backup). Settings → Reset progress deletes it from the game, and uninstalling the app deletes it from your phone.
What the ads collect
Busy Stop shows ads from Google AdMob. To do that, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and use:
- your device's advertising ID,
- general device and app information (device model, operating system version, app version, language, coarse location derived from your IP address),
- how you interacted with an ad.
Google uses this to choose ads, to measure them and to prevent fraud. Google acts as an independent data controller for this. Their policies:
Busy Stop never sees this data itself.
Game statistics and crash reports
To make the game better and fairer, Busy Stop uses Google Firebase:
- Firebase Analytics records how the game is played — for example, which levels are started, won or lost, and which boosters and buttons are used, and which shop items are bought (the product and its price, never your payment details) — with an app-instance ID, general device information and a coarse location (country or region) that Google derives from your IP address. It does not use your advertising ID. We use it to find levels that are too hard or too easy and to see which offers players like.
- Firebase Crashlytics sends a report if the game crashes, with technical details of the crash and of your device (model, Android version, app version), so we can fix it.
- Firebase Remote Config downloads settings such as coin prices and ad timing, so we can tune the game without an update.
Crashlytics and Remote Config use a Firebase installation ID (a random ID for this copy of the game) to work. None of this includes your name or contact details, and it is not linked to you as a person. Statistics are kept for up to 14 months and then deleted automatically.
Purchases
In-app purchases (coins, boosters, bundles and Remove Ads) are handled by Google Play. We never see your payment details. The game only receives a purchase record (which product, and an order ID) so it can give you what you bought. Which product was bought and its price are also counted in our game statistics (see above). Remove Ads can be restored on a new phone with Settings → Restore purchases.
Your choices
- In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, a consent form from Google appears the first time you open the game. You choose there whether ads can be personalised and whether game statistics may be collected, and the game follows your choice. You can change your mind at any time: Settings → Privacy choices.
- Everywhere, Android lets you reset or delete your advertising ID: Android Settings → Privacy → Ads.
- Ads that give a reward are always optional. Nothing in the game is locked behind watching one.
- Settings → Reset progress also resets the game's statistics ID, so statistics collected before can no longer be linked to your phone.
Children
Busy Stop is intended for players aged 13 and over. It is not directed to children, and ad requests are not tagged as child-directed. The maximum ad content rating is set to teen. If you believe a child has used the app and you have a concern, contact us at the address below.
Permissions
The app asks for internet access, which is used by Google's ads, Google Play purchases and Firebase. The Google libraries also declare the permissions they need to read the advertising ID and to talk to Google Play. Busy Stop does not use your camera, microphone, contacts, photos or location. The game itself plays completely offline.
We do not sell your data
We do not sell, rent or share your information with anyone other than the Google services described above.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and the new version replaces this one at the same URL.
