This privacy policy governs your use of the Bee In Motion mobile application ("App") created by Petr Pucek. Bee In Motion is a casual, walking-powered colony builder game: your device's step count drives your progress as you grow and customize a bee colony, with optional online features such as leaderboards, profiles, and a following feed.

We designed Bee In Motion to be privacy-friendly: it shows no ads, uses no AI services, and we do not sell your data.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Account Information

To use the App's online features, you sign in with Sign In with Apple or Sign in with Google, on iPhone or Android. Authentication is handled by Apple or Google together with Firebase Authentication; we never see or store your Apple Account or Google account password.

• Email Address: With Sign In with Apple, sharing it is optional and Apple may give us a private relay address instead. With Sign in with Google, Google shares your Google account's email address. It is stored with your sign-in record to support your account (for example, to link an Apple and a Google sign-in that use the same email); it is not shown to other players.
• Name and Profile Picture: Google also shares your Google account's name and profile picture, which Firebase Authentication stores with your sign-in record. We do not display or otherwise use them.
• Username: Required. You choose a unique username that is your public display name across profiles, leaderboards, and the activity feed.

An account that a parent or legal guardian creates for a child works differently: it is not linked to an Apple or Google account and holds no email address. The parent chooses its username, and the child signs in with a one-time invite code. See Children's Privacy below.

Family Account Information

When a parent or legal guardian creates an account for a child, we also store:

• Managing Parent: Which Bee In Motion account manages the child's account.
• Consent Record: The account that gave consent, when it was given, and what it covered.
• Invite Codes: Each one-time code, the account it belongs to, and when it was created, when it expires, and when it was used.
• Join Date: When the child first signed in.

Health & Fitness Data (Step Count)

With your explicit permission, Bee In Motion reads your step count from Apple Health (HealthKit) on iPhone or from Health Connect on Android to power gameplay. Walking is how you earn in-game resources. We only read step counts; we do not read, request, or access any other health or fitness data, and we never write any data to Apple Health or Health Connect. Step counts you collect (and your lifetime and per-day step totals) are stored in your account so your progress syncs across devices and so your ranking can appear on leaderboards and your public profile. We never use this data for advertising and never sell it. You can grant or revoke access at any time in your device's settings (see the sections below).

Game & Progress Data

Your in-game progress — resources, your hive layout, bees, challenges, cosmetics, settings, and lifetime statistics (steps, honey produced, hive size, etc.) — is stored on your device and synced to our cloud database so you don't lose progress and can play across devices.

Social Data

The App includes optional social features. When you use them, the following is associated with your account:

• Public Profile: Your username, hive, lifetime statistics, and bee collection.
• Following: The list of players you follow and the players who follow you. Following is one-directional and does not require approval.
• Leaderboards & Activity: Your username and relevant statistics appear on leaderboards and in the activity feed (e.g., reaching a new hive tier or step milestone).

Purchase & Subscription Information

If you purchase optional Bee In Motion Premium — whether a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase — the transaction is handled by the store you bought it from: Apple's In-App Purchase system on iPhone or Google Play Billing on Android. Your Premium status is managed for us by RevenueCat. RevenueCat receives your account's randomly generated identifier (not your name or email address) together with your purchase and transaction status. We do not receive your payment card details. Apple or Google processes all payments.

Automatically Collected Information

We use Google Firebase to operate the App's backend (authentication, cloud database, and server-side account management) and Firebase Analytics to understand how the App is used. Analytics may collect usage data, app interactions, and device and operating-system information. Analytics is switched off entirely while an account created for a child is signed in. The App contains no advertising SDKs, does not access Apple's advertising identifier (IDFA) or Android's advertising ID, and has Google's ad-personalization signals turned off.

Notifications

If you enable notifications, the App schedules local notifications on your device (for example, a reminder to collect your steps or a note that a task has finished).

APPLE HEALTH (HEALTHKIT) DATA

Because step data is sensitive, we want to be explicit about how we handle it, consistent with Apple's requirements:

• We access your step count only after you grant permission, and only to run the game and its step-based features.
• HealthKit data is never used for advertising or marketing, and is never sold to anyone.
• Step counts and totals are stored in your account to sync progress and to power leaderboards and your public profile, which other players can see as part of those features.
• We never share your HealthKit data with third parties except the cloud-infrastructure providers (Apple, Google Firebase) strictly needed to store and sync it for you.
• You can revoke access at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health.

HEALTH CONNECT DATA (ANDROID)

On Android, the App reads step data through Health Connect. The same commitments apply:

• The App requests only one Health Connect permission: read Steps. It does not request any other data type and never writes to Health Connect.
• Step data is used only to run the game and its step-based features: converting steps into in-game resources, your statistics, leaderboards, and your public profile, as described above.
• Health Connect data is never used for advertising or marketing, never sold, and never used to determine creditworthiness or for any purpose unrelated to the App.
• We never share Health Connect data with third parties except the cloud-infrastructure provider (Google Firebase) strictly needed to store and sync it for you.
• The use of information received from Health Connect adheres to the Health Connect Permissions policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
• You can revoke access at any time in Android Settings → Health Connect (on some devices, Settings → Security & privacy → Privacy → Health Connect) → App permissions → Bee In Motion.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

• Account Management: To create and maintain your account, authenticate you, and enable account deletion.
• Core Gameplay & Sync: To convert your steps into in-game progress and to save and synchronize that progress to your account.
• Social Features: To power public profiles, following, leaderboards, the activity feed, and hive sharing.
• Family Accounts: To let a parent or legal guardian create, manage, and delete accounts for their children, and to keep a record of their consent.
• Purchases: To provide, validate, restore, and manage your Bee In Motion Premium subscription or Lifetime purchase.
• Analytics & Reliability: To understand how the App is used and to find and fix problems.
• Customer Support: To respond to your questions, requests, and feedback.

DATA STORAGE AND SECURITY

Your data is stored securely in Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore), a cloud-hosted database service. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

INFORMATION SHARING AND VISIBILITY

Public Information

Some information is visible to other players when you use the App's online features:

• All Players Can See: Your username, hive, lifetime and period statistics (including step totals), bee collection, your following/followers, and your standings on global leaderboards and the activity feed.
• Visible to a Managing Parent: A parent or legal guardian can see basic information about the accounts they manage for their children: lifetime steps, hive tier, the date the child joined, and when the child was last active.
• Not Shown to Others: Your email address (if provided) and your purchase/payment information.

Third-Party Service Providers

We share information with third-party service providers who help us operate the App:

• Apple: For Sign In with Apple, In-App Purchases, and HealthKit step access.
• Google: For Sign in with Google, Google Play Billing, and Health Connect step access on Android.
• Google Firebase: For authentication, cloud database (Firestore), server-side account management (Cloud Functions), and analytics.
• RevenueCat: For validating and managing your Premium status using your account's randomly generated identifier.

These providers have their own privacy policies and are responsible for their own data practices. We encourage you to review them:

• Apple Privacy Policy: https://www.apple.com/privacy/
• Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• RevenueCat Privacy Policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency), including to comply with a legal obligation, protect and defend our rights or property, prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing, or protect the personal safety of users or the public.

ADVERTISING AND AI

Bee In Motion contains no advertising and does not use any AI services. We do not build advertising profiles, we do not use your Apple Health or Health Connect data for advertising, and we do not sell your personal information.

YOUR DATA RIGHTS AND CHOICES

• Account Deletion: You may delete your account at any time from the App's settings, or by request without the App. See Deleting Your Account below.
• Health Permission: You can grant or revoke step access at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health, or on Android in Health Connect → App permissions → Bee In Motion.
• Username Changes: Premium users can change their username from within the App. The username of an account created for a child is chosen and changed by the managing parent.
• Purchases: You can view, change, restore, or cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple Account settings, Google Play subscriptions, or via Settings → Account in the App. The one-time Lifetime purchase has no subscription to cancel and can be restored via Restore Purchases.
• Notifications: You can turn notifications on or off in the App's settings or in your device's settings.

DELETING YOUR ACCOUNT

This section applies to Bee In Motion by Petr Pucek, on both the App Store and Google Play.

In the App: open Settings → Account → Delete Account and confirm. You will be asked to sign in again to prove it is you. Deletion happens immediately.

Without the App: email kecup10@gmail.com with the subject "Bee In Motion account deletion" and your username. If possible, send it from the email address linked to your Apple or Google sign-in so we can confirm the account is yours. We will delete the account within 30 days and reply when it is done.

What is deleted: your account and sign-in record (including any email address, and the name and profile picture shared by Google), username, game and progress data, step totals, statistics, your public profile and hive, followers and following, leaderboard entries, activity feed events, and any outstanding invite codes.

What is kept: copies in our database backups for up to 30 days, after which they are permanently removed. Purchase records held by Apple, Google, and RevenueCat are kept under their own retention policies, as these are financial records. Deleting your account does not cancel an active subscription; cancel it in your Apple Account settings or Google Play subscriptions.

An account created for a child is deleted by the parent or legal guardian who manages it, from Settings → Family, or by the same email request from the parent.

DATA RETENTION

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your data is permanently deleted from our Cloud Firestore database. Certain data may persist in backups for a limited time (up to 30 days) before being permanently removed. Data processed by third-party services (such as Firebase Analytics, Apple, or RevenueCat) is subject to their respective retention policies.

Invite codes are kept until they are replaced by a new code or the child's account is deleted. If a parent deletes their own account but chooses to keep the accounts they created for their children, those accounts stay active. Because no one can then delete them from within the App, they can be deleted on request by emailing us at kecup10@gmail.com.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Bee In Motion is a general-audience game. Children cannot create accounts on their own: Apple does not let an Apple Account that belongs to a child create accounts in other apps, so a child can play only through an account that their parent or legal guardian creates for them in the App (Settings → Family). Whether Apple treats an account as a child's depends on the country. The age is 13 in most countries and up to 16 in some (for example, 15 in the Czech Republic and 16 in Germany).

Parental Consent

A parent or legal guardian gives consent when they create the account. The App asks them to confirm that they are the child's parent or legal guardian and that they agree to our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy on the child's behalf. We record which account gave consent and when.

What We Collect From an Account Created for a Child

• The username the parent chose, which is public like every username.
• Step counts from Apple Health or Health Connect, only if permission is granted on the child's device, handled exactly as described in the sections above.
• Game and progress data, and social data (players followed and following, leaderboard standings, and activity feed events).
• A randomly generated account identifier, and the family account information described above.

We do not collect a child's name (other than the username), email address, Apple or Google account, contact details, photos, or location. Analytics is switched off while a child's account is signed in, and the App shows no advertising to anyone.

What Other Players Can See

The same public information as for any player: username, hive, statistics including step totals, followers and following, and leaderboard and activity-feed standings. The App has no chat or direct messaging, so other players cannot contact a child through it.

Parents' Choices and Rights

• See basic information about the account at any time in Settings → Family.
• Rename the account (a Premium feature).
• Issue a new sign-in code, which cancels any earlier unused code.
• Delete the account at any time, which permanently erases it as described under Data Retention. Deleting the account is also how a parent withdraws consent.
• Ask us for a copy of the child's data, or for a correction, by emailing kecup10@gmail.com.

When a Child Takes Over Their Account

Once Apple allows the child's own Apple Account to use Sign In with Apple, the child can link it to their account. From then on the account is no longer managed by a parent, the record of parental management and consent is removed, and the rest of this Privacy Policy applies to them as to any other player.

If you believe a child has an account that was not created by their parent or legal guardian, please contact us at kecup10@gmail.com and we will delete it.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Your information may be transferred to and maintained on servers located outside of your country, including in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. By using Bee In Motion, you consent to the transfer of your information to the Czech Republic and other countries where we or our service providers operate. We take appropriate measures to ensure your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date above and, where appropriate, providing a notice through the App. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the App after changes are made constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

YOUR CONSENT

By using Bee In Motion, you consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the App. For an account created for a child, the parent or legal guardian gives this consent on the child's behalf when creating the account.
