Barnpetal: Farm Match 3 — iOS Privacy Policy
iPhone & iPad edition · Coming soon
Effective date: November 7, 2026
Developer: Valorem
App identifier: io.github.galitach.barnpetal
Barnpetal for iPhone and iPad is in development and is not yet publicly available. This policy describes the planned iOS and iPadOS edition, based on its current release configuration. We will review it against the final release and update it if the app’s practices change.
Valorem (“we,” “us,” or “our”) provides Barnpetal: Farm Match 3. Core gameplay works offline without a Valorem account. Optional rewarded advertising, Apple purchases, Game Center and iCloud features use third-party services and may require an internet connection.
The iOS edition uses Google AdMob for optional rewarded advertising and Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) for applicable advertising privacy choices. AppsFlyer is not used on iOS. The Android privacy policy separately describes that edition’s AdMob and AppsFlyer integrations.
1. Game Progress & Local Storage
Game progress, levels, scores, farm development, preferences and reward records are saved on your device. A broad age group, optional-ad choices and reminder settings are also stored locally. The app does not ask for your full date of birth or require a Valorem username, email address or password to play.
Valorem does not operate a gameplay account or cloud-save server for Barnpetal. The limited iCloud medal synchronization described below does not back up your complete farm or campaign progress.
2. Optional Rewarded Advertising
You choose whether to enable optional rewarded videos and whether to watch an offered video. Ordinary gameplay remains available without watching ads. The planned iOS edition has no banners, forced interstitials or app-open ads.
For an eligible player, enabling videos or selecting Watch may start Google’s privacy checks and consent flow. Advertising is requested only after the applicable privacy requirements allow it. Once enabled, the app may preload a video before you decide to display it, including on later launches. Enabling videos therefore involves Google processing before a video is watched.
When advertising services are enabled, Google may process:
- IP addresses and approximate location inferred from them.
- Device, app and developer-scoped identifiers permitted by the configuration, such as an identifier for vendor (IDFV).
- Ad impressions, video views, taps and other advertising interactions.
- App and product interactions used by the advertising service.
- Crash information, performance information and other diagnostics.
- Privacy choices and related consent information needed to apply regional requirements.
This information supports ad delivery, reporting and analytics, security, fraud prevention and service performance. Some information may be associated with a device or other identifier. Google’s processing is described in its iOS Mobile Ads SDK data disclosure, business privacy information and Privacy Policy.
3. iOS Advertising & Tracking Choices
The intended iOS configuration requests non-personalized ads only, disables Google’s publisher first-party ID and automatic device coarse-location collection, and does not request location permission. Google may still infer approximate location from an IP address.
The planned app does not request App Tracking Transparency authorization or access the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA). This does not mean that advertising involves no data collection. Non-personalized ads can still use permitted technical information for delivery, frequency limits, reporting and fraud prevention. Apple’s privacy-preserving SKAdNetwork system may also support ad conversion measurement without IDFA.
There is no AppsFlyer integration or separate AppsFlyer opt-in in the iOS edition. Google’s permitted advertising and diagnostic processing is described above even when personalized ads and IDFA are unavailable.
4. Age-Related Protections
The app asks for a broad age group to apply protections for optional services. “Prefer not to say” leaves age unknown. The age group stays on the device and is not a gameplay account.
- For players who declare they are under 13, Google advertising and consent SDK initialization and ad requests remain disabled.
- When age is unknown, Google advertising and consent SDK initialization and ad requests also remain disabled.
- Eligible players aged 13–17 receive restricted teen advertising treatment.
- Advertising, when enabled for an eligible player, uses non-personalized requests and G-rated inventory settings.
Age-related choices do not change ordinary gameplay rewards. If you believe information about a child has been processed inappropriately, contact us using the details below.
5. Game Center & iCloud Medals
Game Center is optional. If you are signed in to Game Center on your device, the app can use Apple’s authentication and submit scores for completed levels, collected campaign stars and completed construction projects. Apple associates Game Center activity with your Apple Account. Your Game Center nickname, avatar and leaderboard scores may be visible to other players under Apple’s service rules and your settings.
Barnpetal’s Milestone medals are separate from Game Center achievements. Medal identifiers and the dates they were earned can synchronize through your iCloud key-value storage when iCloud is available. This synchronization does not include your age group or advertising choices, and it does not provide a complete farm save.
Apple operates these services under its Privacy Policy and Game Center privacy information. You can manage Game Center sign-in and sharing, and iCloud settings, through Apple’s device and account controls. Ordinary gameplay does not require Game Center participation.
6. In-App Purchases
The optional Barnpetal Supporter Pack is a one-time cosmetic purchase processed by Apple through StoreKit and the App Store.
Apple handles payment and Apple Account information. The app receives product, transaction, verification and entitlement information needed to unlock or restore the purchase and respond to refunds or revocations. Relevant entitlement information may be kept locally. Valorem does not receive your payment-card details or Apple Account password.
Restoring a purchase uses Apple’s purchase records and does not restore your complete farm progress. Apple retains purchase information under its own policies and legal obligations. See Apple’s Privacy Policy.
7. Notifications, Permissions & External Services
Optional reminders require your notification permission and are scheduled locally. Barnpetal does not use a Valorem-operated push-notification service. You can disable reminders in the app or in iOS notification settings.
Barnpetal does not request access to your contacts, camera, microphone or precise GPS location. The planned iOS edition does not request tracking permission.
If you choose to open an advertisement, store page, support email or external website, the destination handles information under its own privacy practices. Sending support email shares the address, message and attachments you choose to send with Valorem and the email services involved.
8. Your Privacy Choices
Open Settings → Privacy choices to manage optional reward videos and access Google’s advertising privacy options when its consent system requires them. The game’s video toggle and Google’s provider consent choices serve separate purposes. Turning on videos does not replace any required Google consent.
Disabling optional videos stops future advertising requests from that feature. Withdrawing a choice does not automatically delete information already received by Google, cancel a purchase or erase Apple service records.
You can also manage notifications, Game Center and iCloud through iOS and your Apple Account. Depending on your location, Google’s privacy options may include choices concerning targeted advertising, sale or sharing of personal information and related processing. Contact us if you need help locating an available privacy control.
9. Retention & Deletion
Local gameplay and preference information remains on your device until removed through an available in-app reset, deletion of the app and its data, or applicable device controls. Offloading an app can preserve its documents and data. Device backups may also retain copies according to your Apple settings.
Removing or resetting local data does not necessarily erase iCloud medal records, Game Center scores, Apple purchase history or information held by Google. Synced medals may return when iCloud synchronization resumes, and an eligible purchase may be restored through Apple. Manage Apple-held data through Apple’s account and service controls; contact us if you need help understanding the scope of a deletion request.
Google and Apple retain information under their applicable policies, settings and legal obligations. Valorem cannot directly erase every record held independently by these providers. You may also use the privacy and account request tools described in their policies.
If you contact us, we retain correspondence only as needed to address your request, keep necessary records and meet applicable legal obligations.
10. Legal Bases & Privacy Rights
Where required, consent is obtained before optional advertising processing or related device storage and access. Other processing may be necessary to provide a feature you request, deliver a purchase, respond to support, protect services or meet legal obligations, as permitted by applicable law.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of personal information, restrict or object to processing, and withdraw consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing lawfully performed beforehand. You may also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.
Contact us to exercise applicable rights. Please identify Barnpetal for iOS in your request. We may need limited information to identify relevant records and verify your request. We will explain when a request also needs to be directed to Apple or Google.
11. International Processing, Security & Changes
Google, Apple and the services used for support correspondence may process information in countries other than your own. Their policies describe international processing and applicable safeguards.
We use reasonable measures to protect information handled through Barnpetal. No method of storage or transmission can guarantee complete security.
We may update this policy when the app, service providers or legal requirements change. The effective date identifies the latest revision. Where required, we will provide additional notice or request new consent before materially different optional processing begins.
