Poppis1Who we are
Poppis is made by AlgoMate AB (org.nr 559539-0963), Sweden. We are the data controller for the personal data described here. You can reach us at contact@algomate.se.
2The short version
- You never need an account, and we never ask for your name, email, phone number or contacts.
- Your progress, unlocks and settings are stored on your own device.
- To run the leaderboards we store a random player id, the nickname you play under and your scores.
- To improve the game we record anonymous gameplay statistics (how long rounds last, scores, which video offers are used). They are tied to a random id, never to you.
- Poppis is free because of ads from Google AdMob. You decide whether ads may be personalised.
- The optional “Remove ads” purchase is handled by Apple or Google Play. We never see your payment details.
3What we process and why
| Data | Why | Legal basis | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Progress, unlocked buddies, settings | So the game remembers where you are | Stored only on your device | Until you delete the app |
| Friend challenges: the challenge code, the nickname and score of the player who sent it, and the nickname and score of each friend who plays it | To run friend challenges and show who won | Legitimate interest in running the challenges you choose to send or play | Until you ask us to delete it, or we clear old challenges |
| Random player id, a secret device token, nickname, scores (today, this week, best stage) | To show the leaderboards | Legitimate interest in running the leaderboards you see in the game | Until you ask us to delete it, or we clear old entries |
| Anonymous gameplay statistics: a random analytics id (separate from the leaderboard id), rounds played, round length, score and stage, in-game events, which video and purchase offers were shown and used, ad results (shown, skipped, none available), app version, device type, screen size and language | To understand how the game is played, fix balance and test improvements (for example comparing two versions of a feature) | Legitimate interest in improving the game. The data is not linked to your identity, your advertising identifier or your leaderboard name | Up to 18 months, then deleted |
| Advertising identifier (only if you allow tracking), IP address, device and ad interaction data | To show, limit and measure ads and to prevent fraud | Your consent for personalised ads. Legitimate interest for non-personalised ads and fraud prevention | According to Google's policies |
| Anonymous app user id and purchase receipt | To confirm and restore “Remove ads” | Performance of our agreement with you | As long as the purchase is active, and as required by accounting law |
| Emails you send us | To help you | Legitimate interest in answering you | Until your question is solved, then deleted within 12 months |
Our gameplay statistics stay with us: they are not used for advertising, not shared with ad networks and not combined with data from other apps. We do not sell your data.
4Leaderboards and nicknames
When you play, your nickname and scores are sent to our leaderboard so other players can see them. You start with a random name such as “Wild Shroom 24” and can pick a new one at any time under Settings → Leaderboard name. Names are always chosen from generated combinations; you can't type your own.
If you send or play a friend challenge, your nickname and score for it are shown to anyone who opens that challenge link.
5Advertising
Ads are served by Google AdMob. Google and its partners may use your device's advertising identifier (IDFA on iPhone, Advertising ID on Android), IP address, approximate location derived from it, device information and how you interact with ads, to show and measure ads.
- iPhone tracking: iOS asks if Poppis may track you. If you say no, your advertising identifier is not shared and ads are not personalised based on it. You can change this any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- Android: you can reset or delete your Advertising ID any time in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads (on some phones Google → Ads).
- EU/EEA, UK and Switzerland: we ask for your consent through Google's consent form before personalised ads are shown. You can change your choice any time in the game under Settings → Privacy settings.

6Purchases
The optional “Remove ads” purchase is processed by Apple through your App Store account, or by Google Play through your Google account on Android. We use RevenueCat to confirm the purchase and let you restore it. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user id and the purchase receipt, never your name or payment details.
8Transfers outside the EU
Google and RevenueCat may process data in the United States. Such transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework where the recipient is certified, or on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
9Children
Poppis is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
10Your rights
You have the right to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw a consent at any time. To delete your leaderboard entry or use any other right, email contact@algomate.se and tell us your leaderboard name and roughly when you last played.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY), imy.se, or to the data protection authority where you live.
11Security
All traffic between the app and our services is encrypted. Leaderboard updates need a secret token that only exists on your device, so nobody else can change your scores.
12Changes and contact
We may update this policy when the game changes. The date at the top shows the latest version, and important changes will be shown in the game. Questions? Write to contact@algomate.se.
