Last updated: 15 July 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is processed when you use our Android application.
1. Data Controller
The controller responsible for the processing described in this Privacy Policy is:
RealityForge GbR
Biberacherweg 3
12247 Berlin
Germany
Email: realityforgeeu@gmail.com
Website: realityforge.eu
2. Overview
Flappy Dragon is an advertising-supported mobile game.
You can use the app without creating an account. We do not ask you to provide your name, email address, telephone number, payment details or other directly identifying information.
The app does not currently use:
user accounts;
cloud-based save games;
online leaderboards;
Firebase Analytics;
Firebase Crashlytics;
an analytics system operated by RealityForge;
a backend server operated by RealityForge.
The app uses Google AdMob to display banner advertisements. Google and participating advertising technology providers may process personal data when advertisements are requested or displayed.
3. Local Highscore Storage
Flappy Dragon stores your highscore locally on your device.
The highscore is not transmitted to RealityForge, Google or another server by the highscore feature. RealityForge cannot access the locally stored highscore.
The highscore normally remains stored until you delete the app data through the Android settings or uninstall the app.
This local storage is necessary to provide the highscore feature requested by the user. To the extent that national laws implementing Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive apply, the storage is carried out as storage strictly necessary to provide the requested functionality.
4. Google AdMob
The app uses Google AdMob, a mobile advertising service.
For users in the European Economic Area, the relevant Google entity is generally:
Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House
Barrow Street
Dublin 4
Ireland
The Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect or receive information including:
your IP address, which may be used to estimate your general location;
information about the device and operating system;
app and device identifiers, including the Android Advertising ID and App Set ID where available;
information about app launches and interactions;
information about advertisements displayed in the app;
advertisement impressions, clicks and other interactions;
diagnostic and performance information;
information used to detect fraud, abuse and invalid advertising activity;
your privacy and consent choices.
The exact data processed may depend on your device settings, consent choices, the advertising mode used by Google and the advertising technology providers involved in delivering an advertisement.
Google states that data transmitted by the Google Mobile Ads SDK is encrypted in transit.
5. Purposes of Advertising Data Processing
Data processed in connection with Google AdMob may be used for purposes including:
displaying advertisements;
selecting advertisements based on limited contextual information;
displaying personalised advertisements where you have consented;
measuring advertisement performance;
counting advertisement impressions and interactions;
limiting how often an advertisement is shown;
producing advertising and revenue reports;
maintaining the security and technical operation of the advertising service;
detecting fraud, abuse and invalid traffic;
complying with legal obligations.
RealityForge generally receives advertising reports from Google in aggregated form, such as the number of advertisement impressions, clicks and advertising revenue. These standard reports do not normally include your name or email address.
6. Consent Management
The app uses the Google User Messaging Platform, also referred to as Google UMP, to request and manage privacy choices where required.
When you first open the app, or when Google determines that your privacy choice must be renewed, a consent form may be displayed.
Depending on the options available in the form, you may be able to:
consent to personalised advertising;
refuse personalised advertising;
manage purposes and advertising technology providers;
withdraw or change a previous choice.
Where consent is legally required, personal data is processed for personalised advertising and related device access on the basis of your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and the applicable national laws implementing Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by opening Privacy Options in the app.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before the withdrawal.
Refusing or withdrawing consent does not prevent you from playing the game. Depending on availability and your privacy choices, Google may display non-personalised, contextual or limited advertisements instead.
Google and other advertising technology providers may process limited information without consent where this is permitted under applicable law, for example for security, fraud prevention, technical advertisement delivery or other strictly necessary purposes. Those providers determine the relevant legal bases for processing for which they act as independent controllers.
7. Relationship with Google and Advertising Providers
RealityForge and Google may each act as independent controllers for parts of the advertising-related processing.
Google determines many aspects of how its advertising systems process data, including the technical operation of the Google Mobile Ads SDK, fraud prevention, advertising measurement and the participation of advertising technology providers.
The advertising technology providers that may receive data are listed in the Google consent form shown in the app. The providers available may change over time.
Further information about Google’s processing is available in:
the Google Privacy Policy;
Google’s information on how it uses data from apps that use Google services;
Google’s advertising privacy documentation;
Google’s Ads Controller-Controller Data Protection Terms.
8. Legal Bases
Depending on the processing concerned, the legal bases may include:
Consent
Article 6(1)(a) GDPR applies where you consent to personalised advertising, advertising measurement or another purpose presented in the consent form.
Consent may also be required under national laws implementing Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive before information is stored on or accessed from your device.
Performance of the requested service
Article 6(1)(b) GDPR may apply where processing is necessary to provide a feature you requested, such as operating the game or saving the local highscore.
Legitimate interests
Article 6(1)(f) GDPR may apply to limited processing necessary for:
maintaining the security and stability of the app;
detecting fraud or abuse;
preventing invalid advertising activity;
resolving technical errors;
protecting legal claims.
Our legitimate interests are the secure operation, financing and protection of the app. Where consent is legally required, we do not rely on legitimate interests as a substitute for that consent.
Google and other independent controllers may determine their own legal bases for their processing.
9. Recipients of Personal Data
Personal data processed in connection with advertising may be received by:
Google Ireland Limited;
Google LLC and other Google group companies;
advertising technology providers selected or disclosed through the consent form;
infrastructure, security and technical service providers used by Google or participating advertising providers;
public authorities where disclosure is required by law.
RealityForge does not sell personal data to third parties.
10. International Data Transfers
Google and participating advertising technology providers may process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States or other countries in which they or their service providers operate.
Where personal data is transferred to a country that is not recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection, the relevant provider may rely on safeguards such as:
Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission;
an applicable adequacy decision;
participation in an officially recognised data transfer framework;
another transfer mechanism permitted under Chapter V GDPR.
Information about the safeguards used by Google is available in Google’s data transfer and advertising privacy documentation.
Data protection laws and government access rights outside the European Economic Area may differ from those applicable within the European Economic Area.
11. Data Retention
RealityForge does not maintain a user account database for Flappy Dragon.
The locally stored highscore remains on your device until:
you clear the app’s storage;
you uninstall the app;
the local data is otherwise deleted by the operating system.
Your consent choice may remain stored on your device until:
you change or withdraw it;
the consent information expires;
Google requires the choice to be renewed;
the app data is deleted;
the app is uninstalled.
Data processed by Google and other advertising technology providers is retained according to their respective retention policies, processing purposes and legal obligations.
RealityForge may retain aggregated advertising and revenue reports for accounting, business analysis and legal compliance purposes.
12. Your Rights
Subject to the conditions of the GDPR, you may have the following rights:
the right to obtain information about the processing of your personal data;
the right of access under Article 15 GDPR;
the right to rectification under Article 16 GDPR;
the right to erasure under Article 17 GDPR;
the right to restriction of processing under Article 18 GDPR;
the right to data portability under Article 20 GDPR;
the right to object under Article 21 GDPR;
the right to withdraw consent at any time under Article 7(3) GDPR;
the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
You may contact RealityForge using the contact details provided above.
Because the app does not use accounts and RealityForge generally receives only aggregated advertising reports, we may not be able to identify data relating to a particular device or user in our own systems.
Where Google or another advertising technology provider acts as an independent controller, you may also exercise your rights directly against that provider.
13. Right to Object
Where personal data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object to that processing for reasons arising from your particular situation.
Where personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to that processing at any time.
14. Right to Lodge a Complaint
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, particularly in the European Economic Area country in which you live, work or believe an infringement occurred.
The supervisory authority responsible for RealityForge is generally the data protection supervisory authority for Berlin, Germany.
15. Children
Flappy Dragon is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed at children.
The app does not ask users to submit their name, contact details or age.
Where a user is not legally able to provide valid consent under the law of their country, consent-based advertising processing should only take place with the authorisation required by applicable law.
The advertising configuration and the target audience declaration submitted through Google Play must reflect the actual intended audience of the app.
16. Automated Decision-Making
RealityForge does not make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you.
If you consent to personalised advertising, Google or participating advertising technology providers may use automated systems to select advertisements based on predicted interests or other advertising signals. This advertising selection does not normally produce legal effects concerning you.
17. Security
RealityForge takes reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of the app and the processing involved.
Google states that data collected by the Google Mobile Ads SDK is encrypted during transmission.
No method of electronic transmission or storage can guarantee absolute security.
18. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy if:
the app’s functionality changes;
additional services or SDKs are introduced;
advertising practices change;
legal or regulatory requirements change.
The current version will be made available through the privacy policy page linked from the Google Play listing and, where applicable, from within the app.
The date at the beginning of this document indicates when the Privacy Policy was last updated.
