Overview
Big Bass Fishing ("the App," "we," "us") is a sports fishing puzzle adventure where you explore lake spots, reveal the tackle reef tile by tile, and beat the target score before the line runs out. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it is used, who it may be shared with, and the choices available to you.
By downloading, installing, or using Big Bass Fishing, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
A note on branding: The reef and tackle visuals in the App — including the "Big Bass" title treatment, coin and gem decorations, and numbered reef tiles — are stylized game art for a skill-based fishing puzzle. Big Bass Fishing is not a gambling product, does not involve real-money wagering, and does not award real-world prizes or currency of any kind.

What We Collect
Personal Information. We do not require you to create an account to play. If you choose to contact our support team, we may collect the email address and any details you voluntarily provide.
Technical Information. We automatically collect device identifiers (including your advertising ID), device model, operating system version, language settings, screen resolution, IP address, and general network information. Your advertising ID is retained only for as long as your device makes it available to us and is used solely for advertising and analytics purposes.
Usage Information. We collect information about how you interact with the App, such as sessions played, reef rounds cleared, cast perks used, time spent in each game mode, and crash or performance diagnostics.
On-Device Information. Your angler level, daily tackle reward progress, achievement unlocks, statistics, and local settings are stored on your device using local storage so your progress persists between sessions.

How We Use It
- To operate, maintain, and improve core gameplay features such as the campaign map, reef puzzles, and daily tackle rewards calendar.
- To diagnose crashes, fix bugs, and monitor App stability and performance.
- To understand aggregate usage trends, such as which maps or difficulty tiers are most played.
- To deliver relevant advertising and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
- To respond to support requests you send us.

Cookies & Similar Technologies
The App itself does not use browser cookies, as it is not a web application. However, the App and its third-party SDKs may use mobile equivalents of cookies — such as device identifiers, local storage, and SDK-generated identifiers — to recognize your device, remember preferences, and measure advertising performance.
Our App integrates with the following third-party services, each of which may collect data under its own privacy policy:
- Firebase Analytics (Google) — collects usage and diagnostic data to help us understand how the App is used and to improve stability.
- OneSignal — used to deliver push notifications, such as reminders about your daily tackle reward streak.
- Install Referrer (Google Play) — provides information about how you discovered and installed the App, such as the referring campaign, so we can measure the effectiveness of our marketing.

Advertising
Big Bass Fishing may display advertisements, including rewarded video ads that grant in-game bonuses such as extra cast time or bonus score. Our advertising partners may collect and use your advertising identifier and other technical information to serve ads that are more relevant to you and to measure ad performance.
Your advertising identifier is retained only for as long as your device makes it available to us and is used solely for advertising and analytics purposes.
You can reset or limit your advertising identifier, or opt out of personalized advertising, through your device's privacy or ad settings at any time.

Currency & Virtual Items
Big Bass Fishing uses an in-game currency called Bonus Score, earned by clearing reef tiles and completing campaign levels. Bonus Score has no real-world monetary value, cannot be exchanged for real money, and exists solely within the App.
You can spend Bonus Score in the shop on fixed-price cast perks, each with a fixed, predetermined effect:
- Spare Line — grants an additional life for the current reef round.
- Extra Cast Time — adds fixed seconds to the round timer.
- Depth Scout — reveals the contents of a fixed number of reef tiles before the round starts.
- Line Guard — protects against one hidden trap tile.
- Double Haul — doubles the score earned from the next successful catch.
Some perks may also be purchasable with real money through in-app purchases, processed securely by the platform store (Google Play or Apple App Store). We do not process or store your payment card details.
Reef tiles & fair play: Each reef round uses a fixed board layout determined by the level design for that stage, not a randomized wager outcome. Tapping a tile reveals a fixed catch value or hazard that was already set when the round began; nothing is staked, and no real-world payout is ever possible. Big Bass Fishing is not a gambling product.

Player Content
Big Bass Fishing does not require or support user-generated content such as chat, photos, or custom player profiles. Your achievements (First Cast, Lure Collector, Bass Master, Early Bird, and others), statistics (win/loss record, catch ratio, weekly games played, and recent match results), and angler level are generated automatically from your gameplay and are stored locally on your device and, where applicable, associated with your device identifier for syncing and analytics purposes.

Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
- Service providers such as Firebase Analytics, OneSignal, and Install Referrer, who process data on our behalf as described above.
- Advertising partners, who may use your advertising identifier and technical data to serve and measure ads.
- Legal authorities, where required to comply with law, enforce our terms, or protect the rights and safety of our users.
- Successors, in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to the commitments made in this Privacy Policy.
