Hammerfort Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 November 2026

This policy explains what information the Hammerfort mobile game ("the Game", "we", "us") collects and why. The Game is published by BB Gaming Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17541184). Contact: hello@bbgaming.co.uk.

What we collect

Data	Why	Who processes it
A random anonymous player ID	To save your progress to the cloud and show leaderboards	Google Firebase (Authentication, Firestore)
Your game progress	Cloud save, so you can recover progress on a new device	Google Firebase Firestore
Your commander name, picked from a fixed list of words (for example "Storm Falcon")	Shown on public leaderboards and to other players in raids	Google Firebase Firestore
A snapshot of your fort (soldier counts, fort level, defence strength, trophies)	So other players can find and raid your fort. Raiding never takes anything from you	Google Firebase Firestore
Raid reports (which commander name raided your fort, when, and who won)	To show you what happened while you were away. Deleted once shown	Google Firebase Firestore
A push notification token for your device (only if you allow notifications)	To alert you when another player raids your fort (at most one alert every 2 hours)	Google Firebase Cloud Messaging, Apple Push Notification service (iPhone)
Game Center scores and achievements (iPhone only, if you are signed in to Game Center)	Game Center leaderboards and achievements. Apple handles your Game Center account; we never see your Apple ID or Game Center name	Apple Game Center
Gameplay events (for example tutorial steps, battles, purchases) and device information (model, OS version, country)	To understand how the Game is played and improve it	Google Analytics for Firebase
Advertising ID (IDFA/AAID), IP address and ad interaction data	To show rewarded video ads, measure them and prevent fraud	Google AdMob
Purchase history and a store transaction ID	To deliver and restore in-app purchases	RevenueCat, Apple App Store, Google Play

We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, photos or precise location. We do not sell your personal information.

Ads and tracking

Rewarded ads are optional: you choose to watch one for a reward.

iOS: we ask for permission before using your advertising identifier (App Tracking Transparency). If you decline, ads are still shown but are less personalised.
UK, EEA and Switzerland: we ask for your consent through Google's consent form before personalised ads are shown. You can change your choice later in your device settings.

Buying the "No Ads" pass skips all ads.

Children

The Game is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us and we will delete it.

Keeping and deleting data

Cloud saves, leaderboard entries and your fort snapshot are kept while you play. Raid reports are deleted after you see them. Your notification token is kept while it works. Once you uninstall the Game it stops working and we delete it the next time an alert fails to send. You can turn raid alerts off at any time in your iPhone Settings → Notifications → Hammerfort.
Analytics data is kept for up to 14 months.

To delete your data, email hello@bbgaming.co.uk with your leaderboard commander name (or roughly when you started playing) and we will remove your cloud save, leaderboard entries, fort snapshot and notification token within 30 days.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR and similar laws, you can ask to access, correct, delete or export your data, or object to its processing. Contact hello@bbgaming.co.uk. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
