YOUR BEACH BREAK, YOUR PRIVACY

Privacy policy

Updated September 24, 2026

Bounce Duel has no accounts, player names, ads or analytics. Solo play works offline. When you choose to play a friend, the game exchanges only what the match needs, and online rooms are not stored. An optional one-time Pro purchase is handled by Google Play. Your settings and unfinished solo match stay on your device, subject to Android's own backup settings.

Bounce Duel is a beach volleyball game provided by Bosau Digital LLC and created by Sven Bosau. This policy covers the Android game, package com.pythonandvba.bounceduel, this website, and voluntary support correspondence.

Data in the game

The game contains no advertising, analytics, tracking SDKs, accounts, player names or chat. Single-player matches never use the network.

Playing a friend

Same Wi-Fi. The two phones connect directly over your local network. They exchange character choices, readiness, controls, match state and a temporary reconnect identifier, and each phone sees the other's local network address. Nothing is sent to us.

Online. When you create or join an online room, the game connects to our relay service, which runs on Cloudflare Workers (Cloudflare, Inc.) with a fallback server we operate in Germany (Hetzner Online GmbH). The relay passes the following between the two phones: a 4-character room code, a random reconnect token, character choices, readiness and pause status, player and ball positions, scores, and connection round-trip times. It keeps this in memory only while the room is open and discards it when the room closes. We do not store match content or player histories. As with any internet connection, these providers process your IP address and connection details to deliver the connection and protect the service. Rooms are private: there is no public lobby, and only people you share the code with can join.

Bounce Duel Pro

Bounce Duel Pro is an optional one-time purchase that unlocks cosmetic characters and a court theme. Google Play processes the purchase and payment under its own privacy policy; we never see your payment details. The game asks Google Play whether this Google account owns Pro and remembers the answer on your device. Your unlocked characters and play milestones (such as your longest rally) are stored only on your device.

Local settings and saved matches

Your sound, music, vibration, control, player style and difficulty preferences and one unfinished match are stored locally on your device. They remember your choices and let you continue playing. Android may back up and restore this information according to your device and Google account backup settings. Bosau Digital LLC does not receive or operate that backup.

You can erase local settings and the saved match using Android Settings → Apps → Bounce Duel → Storage → Clear storage. Uninstalling removes the local app data, but a system backup may restore it if you reinstall. Manage system backups through your Android or Google account settings.

Permissions and feedback

The game declares Android's internet and network-state permissions, used only when you play a friend, Google Play's billing permission for the optional Pro purchase, and the vibration permission for optional feedback. Vibration can be disabled in Options, and native haptic feedback respects Android's touch-feedback settings. The game does not request access to contacts, location, photos, camera or microphone.

This website

This website does not use analytics, advertising cookies, tracking pixels, account logins or contact forms. Images and styles are served by this website rather than third-party font or media services.

When you visit, the hosting infrastructure may process standard request information such as your IP address, browser information, requested page and time of access to deliver the site, maintain security and troubleshoot errors. This is separate from the game's online rooms.

The gameplay preview is a silent video served by this website. Playback controls run in your browser, respect reduced-motion settings, and do not use cookies, browser storage or viewing analytics. Loading the video produces ordinary hosting requests as described above.

Support emails

If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include. We use it to respond and resolve your request. Support correspondence is retained only as needed to handle the request and applicable recordkeeping obligations. You may ask us to delete your correspondence, subject to those obligations. Sending email is optional and takes place outside the game.

Children

Bounce Duel is intended for teens and adults (13+). The same design applies to all players: no names, chat or public lobby, and online rooms are not stored. We do not knowingly collect children's personal information through the game. If a child has provided personal information through support email, a parent or guardian can contact us to request deletion.

Google Play

If you obtain or purchase the game through Google Play, Google processes the store transaction under its own privacy policy and terms. The game does not receive your payment card details.

Changes and contact

We will update this policy if the game's data practices change. For privacy questions, deletion requests about support correspondence, or game support, email contact@pythonandvba.com.
