Effective date: November 7, 2026
Asian Sparrow LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) provides Mini MetalBots. This policy explains how information is handled when you play the game, use its advertising or purchase features, or contact us about it. Mini MetalBots is built to collect as little as possible: it has no account system and no game server of its own. For privacy questions, email support@asiansparrow.com.
Game progress and device storage
Mini MetalBots saves your profile name, avatar or flag, coins, gems, skip tickets, trophies, league, cards, robot parts, their levels and their repair condition, Tech Lab upgrades, paints, drivers, box timers, season and daily missions, statistics and settings in the app’s local storage on your device. It also stores the version number of the Terms and Privacy Policy you accepted and the time at which you tapped Accept on the initial notice, so that you are only asked again when these documents change in a significant way. That acknowledgement record is kept separately from any advertising-consent choice you make through Google’s consent form (described under Advertising): accepting the initial notice is not consent to personalized advertising, and changing your advertising choices does not change or remove your acceptance. Both are stored only on your device and are removed by Reset progress or by uninstalling the game.
The game does not require you to create an Asian Sparrow account, and we do not operate a server that stores your gameplay progress. Every rival driver, boss and league opponent is computer-generated; the game does not publish your scores, name or photo to other players.
The game may read device capability information that your browser or device makes available, such as processor core count, a memory estimate and the name of the graphics renderer, to choose a graphics quality setting and a battery-friendly resolution. That setting is stored locally and you can change it in Settings. This local use is separate from the information processed by the advertising and purchase services described below.
The optional Save code feature in Settings (“Save code (back up or move)”) creates a code (beginning “PBS1-”) that contains your saved progress. The code is encoded, not encrypted. Anyone who has a copy may be able to read it or restore that progress on their device. Copying the code places it on your clipboard; saving or sending it through another app is your choice and is governed by that app’s practices. Keep your backup code private.
Depending on your Android device and backup settings, the operating system may also back up or transfer app data through its own services. Those backups are controlled by your device or backup provider, not by an Asian Sparrow cloud-save account.
Your profile photo
You can replace your avatar with a photo of your choosing after unlocking the Custom Player Photo option. When you pick a photo, the game resizes it to a small square on your device and stores that copy only in the app’s local storage. The photo is never uploaded to us or to anyone else, and it is not used for face recognition or any other analysis. You can remove it at any time from the profile editor, with Reset progress, or by uninstalling the game. The original picture in your photo library is not changed.
Advertising
The Android app is free to play and supported by Google AdMob advertising. Three kinds of ads can appear: small banner ads that show for a few seconds at a time on menu screens such as the pit and the shop (they float over the screen without moving its buttons and are never shown over the fight controls); a full-screen video or interactive ad after a fight ends, shown when you leave the result screen (the very first fight has no ad); and optional rewarded ads that you choose to watch in exchange for an in-game reward such as coins, part of a robot repair, a box timer skip or a trophy-road bonus (repairs can also be paid with coins or completed free by waiting, so no ad is ever required). Ads are never shown during a live fight. Rewarded ads are always a choice, and skip tickets let you claim an ad reward without watching the ad. Buying No Ads, or a No Ads bundle, removes every ad — banners, post-fight ads and rewarded videos — and ad rewards and repairs are then granted without an ad.
Whenever one of these ads is requested or shown — banner, full-screen or rewarded — Google’s advertising SDK processes information such as your IP address (which can indicate approximate location), the Android advertising ID and other device or account identifiers, app and ad interactions, and diagnostic or performance information. Google uses and shares this information to deliver and measure ads, analyze performance and detect fraud. What is processed can vary with your privacy choices, device settings and ad configuration. Google and its advertising partners process this information under their own privacy terms. Learn more in Google’s Privacy Policy, how Google uses information from apps that use its services, and AdMob’s list of ad technology providers.
Where the law requires it (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), the game shows a consent form from Google’s User Messaging Platform before any ad is loaded, and you can change your choices later under Settings → Privacy settings. This advertising consent is separate from, and is not implied by, your acceptance of the Terms and Privacy Policy on the initial notice. Android also provides controls for your advertising ID, including the ability to delete it. Turning off personalized advertising does not necessarily stop all advertising or all processing needed to display, measure or secure ads. The browser preview of the game loads no AdMob ads; its “test ad” and “test banner” are placeholders.
Purchases, where available
Versions with in-app purchases use Google Play to take payment and RevenueCat to validate and manage purchases. RevenueCat creates a generated app user identifier the first time the game starts after you continue past the initial notice; this is separate from a named game account and may be created even if you never buy anything. These services process purchase history and transaction records, product identifiers, purchase tokens, purchase status and that identifier. RevenueCat also receives technical information such as the device and operating-system type, app version and the last time its service saw the app. This supports delivery and restoration of eligible purchases, purchase reporting and fraud prevention.
We do not supply RevenueCat with your name, email address, photo or advertising identifiers through customer attributes or advertising integrations. A generated identifier is still capable of distinguishing an installation; it does not mean no data is processed. Payment-card details are handled by Google Play; the game never asks you to enter a card number. RevenueCat processes purchase information on our behalf. See Google’s Privacy Policy and RevenueCat’s privacy information. This section applies when purchase features are enabled in your version of the game.
When you contact support
If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include, such as your message, device details, screenshots, a backup code or an order reference. We use this information to respond, investigate problems and handle purchase or privacy requests. Our email service provider processes these messages as part of delivering and hosting email. Do not send passwords, full payment-card details or information unnecessary for your request.
Retention, deletion and privacy requests
Local game progress remains on your device until it is replaced, reset or removed. Settings → Reset progress erases the local save, including any profile photo. Android’s Clear storage control removes all of the app’s local data, and uninstalling the game removes it as well. To remove copies you made yourself, delete your backup codes wherever you saved or sent them. Manage system backups through the relevant device or backup-service settings.
Resetting or uninstalling the game does not by itself delete purchase records, support emails or information already processed by Google. We retain support correspondence as needed to respond to you, fulfil your requests and meet applicable legal requirements. Google Play and RevenueCat hold purchase records under their own service and privacy arrangements. We use purchase-service records as needed to validate transactions, provide and restore purchased benefits, handle disputes, prevent fraud and meet legal or accounting requirements; these purposes can require keeping some records after you stop playing.
To ask about access, correction or deletion of information associated with Mini MetalBots, contact support@asiansparrow.com. For a purchase-data request, include your Google Play order number if available, or ask support for help locating the relevant record. Include enough information to identify your request without sending unnecessary sensitive details. We may need additional information to locate a record or verify that the request is yours. Requests are handled under applicable law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act and the EU and UK GDPR where they apply; records required for legal, accounting or fraud-prevention purposes may need to be retained. We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising beyond the AdMob processing described above, which you can limit through the controls mentioned there.
Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to object to or restrict processing, obtain a copy of your information, withdraw consent, or complain to your local privacy regulator. Information Google holds for its own purposes is also subject to Google’s privacy controls and request procedures. Resetting or uninstalling the game does not make a request to delete those service records.
Data security and service locations
Game progress is stored within the app’s local storage. Google documents that its Mobile Ads SDK encrypts data in transit using TLS, and RevenueCat documents encryption in transit for its service. These protections do not make a copied backup code encrypted or guarantee that every device or transmission is secure. Protect your device and your backup codes.
Google, RevenueCat and email providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live, including the United States. Their applicable service and privacy terms describe their processing arrangements.
Children’s privacy and guardian requests
Mini MetalBots is a cartoon robot-combat game intended for players aged 13 and over. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information through the game or a support message, contact support@asiansparrow.com. Describe your concern without sending more personal information than necessary. You may ask us to review the information and to delete or restrict information we control, as applicable under the law. We may need information to locate the record and verify your authority to make the request.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy when the game or its information practices change, for example if a future version adds crash reporting or an online mode. The revised policy will appear on this page with an updated date, and significant changes will be announced in the game. Where an additional notice or consent is required, it will be provided through an appropriate channel.
