Spot the Setup Privacy Policy
Aquabonic Studios
Effective November 12, 2026.
This policy explains how Aquabonic Studios handles information in Spot the Setup, our detective puzzle game for people aged 13 and older. It covers this game and related support. The Aquabonic aquarium marketplace has its own policy.
1. Information saved on your device
The game saves case progress, discovered clues, stars, achievements, best times, daily-play information and settings such as sound and notebook preferences in local app storage. The current game has no player account, public profile, chat, location feature or upload feature. It does not send your case answers or saved progress to a game server or a generative AI service.
Android or your device provider may include local app data in backups according to your device and account settings. Device backups are separate from a game account or game cloud-save service.
2. Advertising and privacy choices
The Android game includes Google's Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) and User Messaging Platform (UMP). Advertising is being prepared for internal testing. Ad requests in the current preparation build remain disabled until its audience and privacy configuration is complete; version 1.1.1 is registered in AdMob test mode.
When advertising is enabled, Google may process information such as IP address, app and device details, app/device identifiers, ad interactions, and diagnostic or performance information to deliver and measure ads, maintain security and prevent fraud. The information processed depends on the SDK configuration, the device and available privacy choices. Nonpersonalized ads can still involve technical data processing.
The app checks Google's consent status before loading ads. Where Google requires a privacy-options entry point, an “Ad privacy choices” control appears in Settings. Some ads offer an optional in-game reward; the reward is granted after the ad provider reports that it was earned. Test mode does not make an ad request anonymous.
3. Purchases
Paid purchases and purchase restoration are unavailable in the current testing build. The app does not take payment or grant paid benefits through its browser preview. Its Google Play Billing integration may contact Google Play to check billing availability and the product catalog.
If purchases are enabled in a later version, Google Play will handle payment entry. We will update this policy to describe the purchase and entitlement verification actually used before enabling that processing. Do not send us payment-card details or account passwords.
4. Fonts, web links and this policy page
The game currently requests display fonts from Google Fonts. Font requests can disclose connection information, including an IP address and browser/device information, to Google. The case artwork is bundled with the game.
Opening a web link leaves the game and connects to that website. This policy page is hosted on the dedicated Aquabonic Studios website using Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare can process technical connection and security information when you visit. This website has no visitor accounts, contact form or added analytics. Visiting it does not upload your game’s local save. The Studios website privacy policy explains this separate website processing.
5. Support information
If you email us, we receive your email address, your message and any information or attachments you choose to send. We use them to answer your request, investigate the problem and keep necessary support records. Please avoid sending passwords, signing keys, payment details or other sensitive information.
6. How information is used and shared
We use information to provide the game features described here, support advertising when enabled, troubleshoot problems, respond to requests, protect the service and meet applicable obligations. Google and our hosting or email providers process the information needed to supply their services under their own privacy terms.
We do not operate a service selling your locally saved case progress. We may disclose information when necessary to meet applicable legal obligations or protect rights and safety. If responsibility for the game changes, relevant information may transfer with it, with notice or other protections where required.
7. Retention and security
Local game information stays on your device until it is reset or removed through the app or device controls. Backup copies may remain under your device provider's settings. We retain support correspondence for as long as reasonably needed to respond, resolve disputes, maintain necessary records or meet applicable obligations. Google and other providers apply their own retention rules to the information they process.
The Android game loads its bundled content from an isolated local HTTPS origin and does not permit cleartext HTTP traffic. We use available security controls, but no device, network or service can be guaranteed completely secure.
8. Your choices and deletion requests
You can use Settings → Reset All Local Save Data to clear saved game progress. Android's app storage controls can remove local app data; check backup settings if you also want to manage device backups. We cannot remotely erase a save stored only on your device.
For information held by Aquabonic Studios, contact support@aquabonic.com to request access, correction, deletion or clarification. Depending on your location, you may have additional rights to portability, restriction, objection or appeal. We may need to verify a requester's authority before responding. Some information may need to be retained for legitimate legal, security or dispute purposes.
There is currently no Spot the Setup player account to delete. Changes to Android advertising settings and provider-held information can be managed through Android and Google's privacy controls.
9. Age eligibility
Spot the Setup is intended for people aged 13 and older and is not directed to children under 13. Players who cannot provide privacy consent themselves where they live should involve a parent or guardian before using any feature that requires that consent.
If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to Aquabonic Studios through this game or support, contact us so we can review and address it.
10. Changes and contact
We update this policy when the game's actual data practices change and provide additional notice where appropriate. A new policy date does not itself change your device permissions or privacy choices.
For questions or privacy requests: Aquabonic Studios, support@aquabonic.com.
