Last updated: August 5, 2026
Product: BurstLume: Color Pop (version 1.0.0)
Contact: support@aerologx.net

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy explains how the publisher of BurstLume handles information when you use the BurstLume mobile game.

In this Privacy Policy, “BurstLume”, “the App”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to the publisher and operator responsible for BurstLume.

BurstLume is a separate product from other products and services that may be published on this domain. This Privacy Policy applies only to BurstLume.

For privacy questions, contact:
support@aerologx.net

2. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to BurstLume version 1.0.0 for iOS and iPadOS, together with related test builds that use the same data and advertising practices.

It explains:

• information stored locally by the game;
• information that may be processed by advertising and consent providers;
• support communications related to BurstLume; and
• limited technical processing that may occur when you visit the BurstLume legal and support pages on aerologx.net.

This Privacy Policy applies only to BurstLume. Other products and services published on the same domain may have their own privacy notices.

3. Data stored locally on your device

BurstLume stores gameplay information and preferences locally on your device.

This may include:

Best score and aggregate statistics

Used to display your best score, games played, bubbles burst, highest combo, largest cluster, and longest survival time.

Tutorial completion status

Used to determine whether the introductory tutorial has already been shown.

Music, sound-effects, and haptic-feedback settings

Used to remember your audio and haptics preferences.

Color Assist and Reduced Motion settings

Used to remember accessibility preferences you have chosen.

Language preference

Used to display the application in English or Turkish.

Local ad-frequency timestamps and counters

Used on-device to apply interstitial-advertisement frequency limits, such as minimum time between advertisements and a maximum number of advertisements in a given period.

Local reward-transaction identifiers

Used to help prevent the same rewarded-advertisement Continue from being granted more than once.

Consent-related state

Google User Messaging Platform may store consent-related state where applicable.

App version and local data-schema information

Used for application compatibility, data migration, and local save management.

This information is primarily stored on the device.

It is not connected to a BurstLume account because BurstLume does not create user accounts.

It is not synchronized with a developer-operated cloud gameplay or cloud-save service.

Deleting the App, clearing application data, using Reset Game Data, resetting the device, or an operating-system action may remove some or all locally stored gameplay information.

Consent-related state maintained by Google’s consent SDK may be stored separately where the App intentionally preserves Google UMP choices.

Apple device backups may include application data depending on the user’s device and backup settings. Such backups are controlled through Apple’s platform services.

We cannot restore locally deleted BurstLume progress from a developer-operated server.

4. Information we do not collect directly

BurstLume’s own game logic does not request or directly collect the following categories through game-owned code:

• your name;
• your postal address;
• your telephone number;
• your contact list;
• your Apple ID password;
• other account passwords or credentials;
• your exact GPS location;
• your photographs or photo library;
• camera content;
• microphone recordings;
• health information;
• biometric information;
• payment-card information;
• user-generated messages;
• social profile information; or
• a BurstLume account identifier.

BurstLume does not have account registration, login, chat, online multiplayer, contact discovery, or social-network features in version 1.0.

Third-party platform, advertising, consent, website-hosting, or email providers may process limited technical information as described in this Privacy Policy, depending on configuration, user consent, device settings, platform permissions, provider behavior, and applicable law.

5. Google Mobile Ads: interstitial and rewarded advertising

BurstLume uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK for interstitial advertising and optional rewarded advertising.

In version 1.0:

• an interstitial advertisement may be attempted only after a completed run, at the natural transition when the player taps Play Again or Home, and only when an advertisement is ready;
• interstitial advertisements are not shown during gameplay, during pause, or before the results screen is shown;
• interstitial advertisements are not shown after the first two completed runs following a fresh install, and are subject to a minimum interval and a maximum frequency per period;
• an optional rewarded advertisement may be offered for one Continue per run when an advertisement is available;
• no banner advertisements are used;
• no app-open advertisements are used;
• no native advertisements are used;
• no rewarded-interstitial advertisements are used;
• watching an advertisement is not required to start or play the game;
• watching an advertisement is not required to restart a run;
• watching an advertisement is not required to return to the Main Menu;
• Play Again and Home remain available even if an interstitial fails to show;
• a Continue reward is granted only after the advertising provider reports that the reward requirement was completed successfully; and
• advertisement availability is not guaranteed.

Depending on the user’s region, consent choices, device settings, platform permissions, Google configuration, advertising configuration, and applicable law, Google or its advertising partners may process information such as:

• IP address;
• device and operating-system information;
• application identifier;
• advertising identifier where available, configured, legally permitted, and authorized;
• limited device identifiers;
• approximate location inferred from an IP address;
• advertisement impressions;
• advertisement interactions;
• rewarded-advertisement completion events;
• limited application interaction information related to advertising;
• consent choices;
• diagnostic information;
• performance information;
• fraud-prevention signals; and
• security signals.

We do not claim that Google or its SDKs process no information.

We also do not claim that Google always processes every category listed above. Actual processing may depend on configuration, consent, location, device settings, platform behavior, and applicable law.

Official Google resources:

• Google Privacy Policy
• How Google uses information from sites or apps that use Google services
• Google advertising privacy and personalization information

6. Consent management — Google UMP

Where applicable, BurstLume uses Google User Messaging Platform for privacy and consent management.

Depending on the user’s region and Google’s configuration:

• consent information may be requested or updated when the App opens;
• a privacy or consent message may be displayed;
• the user may be able to review Privacy Choices from within the App when Google reports that this option is required;
• consent choices may affect advertising personalization and advertising processing;
• declining personalized advertising does not disable the core offline game; and
• the availability of consent messages may depend on Google’s external configuration, the user’s region, and applicable law.

Google UMP availability and message content are controlled in part through Google’s external systems.

If Google UMP or advertising services are unavailable, BurstLume’s core offline gameplay remains available.

7. App Tracking Transparency and tracking

For version 1.0, BurstLume is not intended to request App Tracking Transparency authorization by default.

The publisher does not intentionally use BurstLume to track users across applications and websites owned by other companies.

The publisher does not intentionally access the Apple advertising identifier, IDFA, in the default version 1.0 configuration.

Google advertising behavior may still depend on:

• consent choices;
• device settings;
• platform permissions;
• Google advertising configuration;
• Google services; and
• applicable law.

If BurstLume’s tracking or advertising behavior changes in a future version, this Privacy Policy and the related App Store disclosures will be reviewed and updated before that version is released.

8. Website and support communications

If you contact support@aerologx.net, we may receive information that you voluntarily include in your support request.

This may include:

• your email address;
• a name included by you;
• message content;
• device model;
• iOS or iPadOS version;
• BurstLume version and build number;
• screenshots voluntarily attached by you;
• steps to reproduce a problem; and
• diagnostic information voluntarily provided by you.

Do not send:

• passwords;
• Apple ID credentials;
• payment-card information;
• full device backups;
• advertising identifiers;
• unnecessary sensitive personal information; or
• private files that are not required to explain the support issue.

Support correspondence may be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• respond to and resolve the request;
• maintain security;
• investigate abuse or fraud;
• manage disputes; and
• comply with applicable legal obligations.

Support messages are not used to create a BurstLume advertising profile.

The BurstLume legal and support pages are hosted using infrastructure operated by Vercel.

Website-hosting infrastructure may process technical request information such as:

• IP address;
• request date and time;
• browser and user-agent information;
• requested URL;
• response status;
• security logs; and
• diagnostic logs.

This processing may occur as part of delivering, securing, and maintaining the website.

9. Cookies and website measurement

The BurstLume static legal and support pages do not themselves embed:

• Google Analytics;
• Meta Pixel;
• advertising tags;
• session-replay tools;
• marketing cookies; or
• similar third-party marketing trackers.

Other pages on the same domain may use first-party website measurement and hosting-related technologies, including Vercel Analytics where enabled.

Such website measurement is separate from BurstLume gameplay.

It is not used to create a BurstLume player account.

It is not connected to a BurstLume cloud-save profile because BurstLume does not provide an account or cloud-save service.

10. Purposes of processing

Information described in this Privacy Policy may be processed for purposes including:

• operating the offline game;
• saving local preferences and progression;
• displaying local scores and statistics;
• applying local advertisement frequency limits;
• helping prevent duplicate reward fulfillment;
• providing interstitial and optional rewarded advertisements;
• managing legally required consent choices;
• preventing fraud and abuse;
• maintaining security;
• responding to support requests;
• diagnosing technical problems;
• delivering and securing the website; and
• meeting legal and regulatory obligations.

BurstLume support communications are not used to create unrelated marketing lists or advertising profiles.

11. Legal bases and regional privacy rights

Depending on the user’s location and applicable law, processing may be based on:

• consent;
• providing a service requested by the user;
• legitimate interests such as security, support, fraud prevention, and service maintenance; and
• compliance with legal obligations.

Depending on location and applicable law, including where relevant the GDPR, UK GDPR, Türkiye’s KVKK, and applicable United States state privacy laws, users may have rights such as:

• access;
• correction;
• deletion;
• restriction;
• objection;
• withdrawal of consent; and
• lodging a complaint with a competent authority.

The availability and scope of these rights depend on applicable law.

Because BurstLume does not create a user account, many gameplay-data controls are handled directly on the device through:

• Reset Game Data;
• clearing application data;
• uninstalling the App; or
• device and operating-system controls.

For information processed by Google, Google’s privacy tools, advertising settings, and consent controls may also apply.

For BurstLume privacy requests, contact:
support@aerologx.net

12. Data retention

Local gameplay data

Local gameplay information is generally retained on the device until one of the following occurs:

• Reset Game Data is used;
• application data is cleared;
• the App is uninstalled;
• the operating system removes the data;
• the device is reset; or
• the data is otherwise removed through device or platform controls.

Advertising and consent data

Advertising and consent-related information may be retained according to:

• Google’s policies;
• user consent settings;
• advertising configuration;
• SDK and platform behavior; and
• applicable law.

Support communications

Support correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for:

• resolving support requests;
• security;
• fraud and abuse prevention;
• dispute handling; and
• legal obligations.

We do not state a fixed retention period where no fixed operational period has been established.

13. International data transfers

Third-party service providers such as Google, Vercel, Apple, and the provider used to receive support email may process information in countries outside the user’s country of residence.

Those providers operate under their own privacy policies, terms, legal mechanisms, and safeguards.

The availability and form of international-transfer safeguards may depend on:

• the provider;
• the service;
• the countries involved; and
• applicable law.

14. Data security

We use a minimal-data approach and rely on reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the services involved.

These may include:

• HTTPS and TLS for website and advertising communications;
• application sandboxing provided by iOS and iPadOS;
• local device storage;
• access controls for support systems;
• limited access to support correspondence;
• dependency updates;
• security updates; and
• fraud and abuse protections provided by platform and advertising providers.

No method of electronic storage, transmission, or processing is completely secure.

We cannot guarantee absolute security.

15. Children and general audience

BurstLume is a general-audience casual game.

It is not specifically directed to young children and is not listed in the App Store Kids Category.

The App does not knowingly request a child’s:

• name;
• email address;
• telephone number;
• account registration; or
• social profile.

Advertising and consent behavior are subject to:

• the configured audience setting;
• platform requirements;
• provider configuration;
• user region; and
• applicable law.

Parents and guardians may contact support@aerologx.net regarding privacy concerns.

This Privacy Policy does not state a specific App Store age rating. The final age rating is determined separately through App Store Connect.

16. Third-party services

Third-party services relevant to the current release may include:

• Apple App Store and iOS or iPadOS platform services;
• Google Mobile Ads;
• Google User Messaging Platform;
• Vercel for hosting the legal and support pages; and

• Supabase gameplay backend;

Local gameplay data may be removed by:

• clearing application data;
• uninstalling the App; or
