Privacy Policy

1. What WizzBoom collects

Progress and settings are saved on your phone. Same Wi-Fi matches stay between the phones in the match.

Game account. The first time you play a match, open the shop or go online with internet, the game makes an account on my server, with no email. It saves your progress and runs online matches: your player name, wizard, XP, level, owned wizards and facts about each match, such as the mode, how long it lasted, your place and whether you won. Your player name is made automatically or comes from Game Center or Play Games. It also sees your IP address. Players in your online match see your name and wizard.

Game Center and Google Play Games. If you are signed in, the game links that account so your progress comes back on a new phone. I save your player ID, nickname and the profile details the service gives. From Play Games these are your level, XP, title, whether your profile is public, and the links to your avatar and banner pictures. From Game Center they are your alias and the age, Screen Time and other limit flags. No email or friends list.

Purchases. Apple or Google takes the payment. My server keeps a record of each purchase so Restore Purchases and refunds work. Unity, the purchase tool in the game, gets the purchase details, device information and a device ID.

Game data. Play events go to Firebase and GameAnalytics with an install ID, but no name. They show me how people play, so I can make the game better. If your phone's region is in the EU or UK, or unknown, the game asks first. Elsewhere it starts on. Turn it off under Settings → Privacy & Legal → Share game data.

Crash and speed reports. Store versions always send errors, loading times, device information and an install ID to Firebase, so I can fix problems. There is no switch for these.

2. Hand Clash and the websites

Hand Clash saves its data on your phone and sends me nothing.

The websites thunderjar.com and wizzboom.com use Cloudflare, which may see your IP address and browser details. They use no cookies. thunderjar.com counts visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which does not track you across other websites. I only see totals, such as page views, countries and device types.

The trailer on wizzboom.com loads from YouTube only when you press play. YouTube (Google) then gets your IP address and browser details, under Google's privacy policy.

If you email me, I keep the message to answer you.

3. Who helps me

They work on the data for me, must protect it as this page says, and may process it outside your country. Unity and Google also use some of it for their own needs, such as fraud checks, as their own privacy pages explain. Google and Unity may work out your country or city from your IP address. Data travels encrypted. Access to the server data is limited to me and the providers that run the servers.

4. Keeping your data

I keep your account until you delete it. I may delete an account that has not been used for 2 years. Firebase starts removing crash reports after 90 days and speed reports after 30 to 60 days. Game data is kept up to 14 months and emails up to 2 years.

5. Deleting your account

In WizzBoom: open Settings → Privacy & Legal → Delete account and tap DELETE. Your account is deleted 14 days later. Until then, the same place shows Cancel deletion and the date. Tap it to keep your account. Just playing the game does not cancel it. After that day, the game on your phone starts fresh.

What is deleted: your profile and player name, level, XP, wizards, online stats, and your Game Center or Play Games link with the details saved from it. Your name, wizard and ID are also removed from other players' match records.

What is kept: purchase records with nothing that names you: the store, the item, the dates and coded transaction IDs. I keep them for refunds, fraud checks and the law. Bought wizards come back with Restore Purchases. Game data and crash reports are not linked to your name. They are removed on the schedule in Keeping your data.

No longer have the game? Email privacy@thunderjar.com with your WizzBoom player name. I first check that the account is yours. Then I delete it within 30 days and tell you when it is done.

6. Your rights

You can ask me to show, fix or delete your data, send you a copy, or limit or stop its use. You can also complain to your data protection office.

Why I may use your data:

• Account and purchases: to give you the game and what you bought.
• Game data: with your consent where the law asks for it. You can take it back with the switch at any time.
• Crash reports, safety and support: my fair interest in a working, safe game.
• Purchase records: where the law tells me to keep them.

7. Children

My games are not directed at children under 13, or under the minimum age in your country. If you believe a child gave me data, email me and I will delete it.

8. Changes

Important changes will be noted on this page, and the date at the top will change.
