What Sumo Arena stores, and where
Sumo Arena keeps your game settings (vibration, sound, music, bot difficulty, the abilities and arena you last chose, and whether you have seen How to Play) and your game progress (such as wins, gold, diamonds, chests waiting to be opened, the items and looks you have unlocked, the looks you wear, your Season Pass tier, your rank with each wrestler, your World Tournament and how many chests you have opened, and from version 2.0 also your ability levels and how many free chests you have taken for watching ads today) in files on your own device. That is the only place they exist, apart from any iCloud or computer backup of your device that you make yourself (we never see those backups). From version 2.0, if you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the privacy choices you make in Google’s form (see “Your choices in Europe, the UK and Switzerland”) are kept on your device too, and Google’s ad software sends them to Google with each ad request, so that Google can follow them.
What Sumo Arena collects
Sumo Arena itself collects nothing. It sends nothing about you to us. There are no accounts, no sign-in and no analytics of our own. Sumo Arena does not use the microphone, the camera, your photos, your precise location or your contacts.
Versions up to 1.1 send nothing off your device to anyone. They have no advertising, no tracking and no third-party software development kits. From version 2.0, the app also contains Google’s ad software (Google AdMob), which shows the ads described below. What it receives goes to Google, not to us.
Ads in Sumo Arena
Versions up to 1.1 have no ads. From version 2.0, Sumo Arena has one kind of ad: a full-screen ad, such as a short video, that you can choose to watch for a free chest. An ad only plays when you press WATCH AD on the home screen. Ads never play during a match, and you can play the whole game without watching one.
The ads come from Google AdMob, which is run by Google. To show them, Google’s ad software (the Google Mobile Ads SDK, and Google’s User Messaging Platform for the privacy form) is part of the app. It contacts Google when the game’s home screen opens, to find out whether a privacy form is needed where you are and to get an ad ready when one is allowed. It contacts Google again when you watch an ad. So Google receives some information from your device even if you never watch an ad.
According to Google, that information can include:
- your device’s IP address, from which Google works out a rough location, such as your country or city;
- device identifiers that belong to this app or to us as its developer. Sumo Arena never asks for permission to track you, so your device’s advertising identifier is not available to Google: iOS gives it out as zeros;
- which ads you were shown and how you interacted with them, for example whether you watched a video to the end;
- how you use the app, for example app launches and taps;
- diagnostic information, such as crash logs and performance data (for example how long the app takes to start).
Google’s software may also store information on your device, such as your privacy choices. Google uses this information to show ads, to measure them, for analytics, to prevent fraud and to improve its services, as its own policies describe: the Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
We do not receive any of this information about you. Google gives us only totals, such as how many ads were shown and what they earned.
No tracking
Sumo Arena does not track you. It never shows Apple’s “Allow to track” question (App Tracking Transparency), so it cannot use your device’s advertising identifier. We do not share data with data brokers.
Your choices in Europe, the UK and Switzerland
From version 2.0, if you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, Sumo Arena shows Google’s privacy form the first time you press WATCH AD, before any ad is loaded for you. The form explains how Google and its partners would use your data, and you can agree or say no. Saying no does not change the game. You can still play everything and still watch ads for free chests, although Google may have fewer ads, or none, to show you. If your answer expires, Google asks again the same way.
You can change your answer at any time: open Settings in Sumo Arena and tap PRIVACY CHOICES. That button is shown only where Google’s form applies.
Purchases
Sumo Arena has no in-app purchases, and nothing in it costs real money. If a later version adds purchases, Apple will handle them through the App Store, we will never see your payment details, and this page will be updated first.
Children
Sumo Arena is rated 9+ on the App Store and is made for a general audience. We do not ask your age, and we collect nothing ourselves. From version 2.0, Google’s ad software works the same way for every player, and the ads in Sumo Arena are limited to Google’s “PG” content rating or lower. If you are a parent and have a question about this, write to support@tumblewake.com.
Keeping and deleting your data
Your settings and progress stay on your device for as long as the app is installed. Deleting the app deletes all of it, including any privacy choices you made in Google’s form. We hold no copy of your game data, so there is none for us to delete or hand over. From version 2.0, Google keeps and deletes the information its ad software receives under its own policy (linked above). We never receive that information, so we cannot delete it for you.
If you email us
If you write to support@tumblewake.com, we receive your email address and whatever you put in your message, such as your device model, iOS version or a screenshot. Email to that address reaches us through Google’s Gmail service. We use it only to answer you and to fix problems in the game. We do not sell or share it, and we never add you to a mailing list. We keep it only as long as we need it to help you, and we will delete it if you ask at the same address. If you are under 13, please ask a parent or guardian to write to us for you.
