This policy explains how SPACE AURORA processes information when you use HyperBall. It covers the Google Play package com.spaceaurora.hyperball and the AppGallery package com.spaceaurora.hyperball.huawei. Features and service providers can differ by store, device, region, and app version.
1. Information HyperBall may process
- Gameplay and progress: settings, unlocked skins, currency, achievements, scores, cloud-save revisions, and related anti-abuse state.
- Account and leaderboard data: a pseudonymous player identifier, a cloud-save display alias, a manually selected country or region code, and submitted scores when you use sign-in, cloud save, or leaderboards. Public leaderboard rows currently use an app-assigned alias such as
RUNNER. - Purchases: product identifier, signed purchase record, provider-issued order or purchase token, price, currency, entitlement status, and refund, chargeback, cancellation, or revocation status. The verification service stores hashed order or token identifiers; it does not receive your full payment-card details.
- Advertising and consent data: consent choices, ad interactions, OAID, Google Advertising ID (GAID), Huawei or Honor UDID, or another available device identifier, plus app, device, operating-system, network, mobile-carrier, usage-frequency, and error information when advertising is available.
- Package visibility: the AppGallery build includes Huawei advertising libraries that merge the Android
QUERY_ALL_PACKAGESpermission and specific package queries. HyperBall's own game code does not directly enumerate the installed-app list. The advertising provider may use package or install-state signals for ad delivery, measurement, compatibility, security, or fraud prevention under its terms. - Technical diagnostics: app version, device model, operating-system version, language, the country you manually select, an approximate network region that a provider may infer, crash information, and performance or security events. HyperBall does not request precise-location permission.
- Support communications: your email address and anything you choose to send when contacting support.
Core settings and progress may remain only on your device until you enable an online feature or the app needs to verify a purchase or score.
If an optional online feature is not shown or cannot be enabled in your version, SPACE AURORA does not receive the related cloud-save, leaderboard, or online-account data from that feature.
2. Why the information is used
- to run the game, save progress, restore purchases, and provide requested online features;
- to operate worldwide and country leaderboards and prevent manipulated scores;
- to show, measure, limit, and obtain consent for advertising where permitted;
- to diagnose crashes, improve startup and performance, and protect the service from abuse;
- to answer support requests and comply with legal, tax, and store obligations.
3. Store, SDK, and platform services
| Service | When used | Information and purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Huawei AppGallery Connect and Account Kit | AppGallery distribution and optional Huawei sign-in | App/service configuration and, after you choose sign-in, a Huawei authorization code and ID token sent to the SPACE AURORA service for verification. The service validates the token subject and stores an HMAC-hashed provider subject linked to a pseudonymous player ID; HyperBall does not request or store your Huawei password. |
| Huawei In-App Purchases | When you view, buy, restore, refund, or revoke a product | Product, order, signed purchase, currency, entitlement, and status information needed for checkout, verification, restoration, fraud prevention, refunds, and revocations. Payment-card details are handled by the store, not HyperBall. |
| Petal Ads Publisher Service | Only in an ads-enabled AppGallery build and subject to applicable consent choices | OAID, GAID, Huawei or Honor UDID, or other available identifiers; consent state; operating-system, hardware, basic app, network, mobile-carrier, ad-interaction, app start/exit, usage-frequency, and error information for ad delivery, personalization where consented, measurement, security, and product improvement. The SDK-merged package-visibility permission may expose package or install-state signals to the provider. HyperBall does not request precise-location permission. |
| Google Play services | Only in a Google Play build that enables the relevant service | Google Play Games Services, Google Play Billing, Google Mobile Ads, and related diagnostics may process sign-in, game, purchase, advertising, and diagnostic information under Google's terms. |
| SPACE AURORA online service, hosted through Cloudflare | Only when purchase verification, cloud save, leaderboards, or other online features are enabled | An HMAC-hashed store-account subject, pseudonymous player ID, sanitized progress and settings, scores, the country you manually select, transaction-verification data, integrity evidence, and limited security logs used to provide and protect those features. |
These services transmit data through their SDKs or encrypted HTTPS requests. SPACE AURORA does not sell personal information. Huawei requires apps using third-party SDKs to describe their purpose, method, and processing scope. HyperBall's store disclosure lists the SDKs and permissions included in the version you install. Recipients and service providers can include Huawei services, Google services only in the Google Play build, the Cloudflare-hosted SPACE AURORA service, and the email provider used when you contact support.
4. Advertising and in-app purchases
Ads are shown only in builds and regions where they are enabled. Where required, the app or advertising provider asks for consent before personalized advertising. Depending on the applicable rules and provider availability, declining may result in non-personalized or limited ads, or no ad request. Huawei's current Petal Ads release documentation states that the personal information described for its advertising service is retained for one year; storage location varies according to the user's country or region.
Purchases are processed by the store. HyperBall sends the signed purchase record and signature to the SPACE AURORA service for verification. The service stores hashed order or token identifiers, product, price, currency, country, status, entitlement, refund, chargeback, and verification records needed to grant and restore purchases and prevent fraud. It does not receive payment-card details.
A Remove Ads purchase permanently suppresses automatic interstitial ads while the entitlement remains valid. Optional rewarded ads can remain available because the player chooses whether to exchange an ad view for a revive. Product availability, local price, tax, and refund handling are determined by the store and region.
5. Leaderboards and cloud save
Online features are optional. Public leaderboard entries display an app-assigned alias such as RUNNER, score, and the country or region you manually select. A separate alias saved in your cloud profile is not currently published to the leaderboard. Cloud save can synchronize eligible progress across supported devices or store versions after account linking and conflict checks.
6. Retention
| Record | Retention rule |
|---|---|
| Local game data | Until you clear HyperBall's storage or uninstall the game. Release builds disable Android cloud backup and device transfer for these files. |
| Petal Ads information | Huawei's current Petal Ads release documentation states one year. Huawei controls its systems and any legally required exceptions. |
| Huawei or Google store/account data | According to the relevant provider's privacy terms, store obligations, and your account choices. |
| SPACE AURORA cloud profile and leaderboard data | Only if the online service is enabled. Kept while your online profile remains active. A verified deletion request revokes active sessions, removes the active profile and cloud save, and removes or anonymizes leaderboard entries. |
| Pseudonymous identity and purchase records | After deletion, the service retains the HMAC-hashed store-identity-to-player mapping, the immutable purchase ledger, and provider terminal-status events needed for purchase restoration, refunds, chargebacks, tax or accounting duties, dispute handling, security, and fraud prevention. These records do not contain your password or full payment-card details and are kept only while those purposes or applicable obligations require them. |
| Support messages | Kept while the request is handled and afterwards only as needed for follow-up, security, disputes, or legal obligations. |
7. Access, correction, and deletion
Read the dedicated HyperBall data-deletion instructions. If your app version shows Settings → Account & cloud → Delete online data, you may use that control. If it does not, email spaceaurora.apps@gmail.com with the subject HyperBall data request. The current app may not yet offer a separate SPACE AURORA online account; in that case there may be no developer-hosted profile to delete.
Include your store, country, and in-game player identifier if available. Do not send a password, full payment-card number, or full purchase token. We may request limited verification to prevent another person from accessing or deleting your data. A verified request can cover access, correction, export where applicable, revoking active game sessions, deleting the active profile and cloud data, and removing or anonymizing leaderboard entries. It does not erase the retained pseudonymous store-identity mapping, purchase ledger, or provider terminal-status events used for restoration, refunds, chargebacks, tax, disputes, security, and fraud prevention.
8. Children
HyperBall is not directed to children under 13. Age thresholds can be higher in some countries, and a store may display its own content rating. SPACE AURORA does not knowingly seek personal information from an under-age user. A parent or guardian may contact us about a child's information.
9. Security and international processing
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including encrypted network transport and pseudonymous identifiers where practical. No online system is completely secure. Huawei services, Google services in the Google Play build, the Cloudflare-hosted SPACE AURORA service, and the support email provider may process information in countries other than yours under their terms and applicable contractual and legal protections.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when HyperBall's features, providers, or legal duties change. The effective date at the top identifies the current version. Material changes may also be announced in the app or store listing when appropriate.
