1. Introduction & Commitment to Child Privacy
GPRS Tech ("we", "us", or "our") develops and publishes Balloon Kingdom: Pop & Learn (Application Package Name: com.gprstech.ballonpop). We are deeply dedicated to safeguarding the privacy and digital wellbeing of children, toddlers, preschoolers, and their families.
This application participates in the Google Play Designed for Families program and is fully compliant with the United States Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) child data provisions.

✅ No Names, Emails, or Phone Numbers

3. Advertising & Child-Directed Treatment
To maintain a safe environment compliant with Google Play Families Policy:
- Child-Directed Flag: All ad requests flag the user as a child under COPPA (
tagForChildDirectedTreatment=true). - No Behavioral Profiling: Personalized behavioral targeting and interest-based remarketing are strictly disabled.
- G-Rated Content Only: Advertisements shown are restricted solely to family-friendly, G-rated advertisements certified for children under Google Play Families policy.
- No Advertising ID (AD_ID): The Google Advertising Identifier is not collected or transmitted for profiling.
4. Math-Gated Parental Verification
In compliance with Google Play Families guidelines, any action that could lead outside the child-directed gameplay experience—including accessing external web links, app store listings, or resetting game progress—is strictly protected by a Parental Gate.
The Parental Gate presents randomized mathematical multiplication or addition equations that require adult cognitive abilities to solve, preventing accidental clicks by children.
5. Data Retention, Storage & Deletion
All game progress (stars earned, levels unlocked, sticker collection, and Barnaby's pet customization) is stored solely in local device memory (e.g. Android Shared Preferences / App Data).
Parents may completely wipe all progress at any time either through the in-game Math-Gated settings or via standard Android system settings: Settings > Apps > Balloon Kingdom > Storage > Clear Storage.
