Capybara Field — Privacy Policy

Nov 14, 2026 · @Diego

Who we are

Capybara Field (“the game”) is made by Bolovo Code LTDA, a company in Brazil (“we”, “us”). We are the controller of the personal data described here, as defined by Brazil’s General Data Protection Law (LGPD, Law 13.709/2018).

This policy covers the Capybara Field apps for iPhone and Android. It applies from 2026-11-28.

Contact for anything about your data: bolovocode@gmail.com.

Open: add the company’s CNPJ and registered address here, and the name of the person in charge of data protection (encarregado), which the LGPD asks companies to make public.

What we collect

The game works without you giving us your name or email. What we store depends on what you use.

Data	When	What it is
Player ID	Always	A random ID created on first launch (an anonymous Firebase sign-in). It doesn’t identify you as a person.
Apple or Google account	Only if you tap Create account	The sign-in links your player to that account. We receive an account ID from Apple or Google and, if the provider shares it, an email address. With Apple you can choose to hide your email.
Nickname	Only if you set one	Up to 20 characters, chosen by you.
Game progress	When you play	Levels reached, best scores and capybaras saved per level, tools in your bag, tutorials seen. Kept on your phone and backed up to our server.
Scores	When you win a level	Your total score and your nickname, for the score lists.
Purchases	Only if you buy or restore Premium	The store’s transaction or purchase ID and the product bought. We never see your card or payment details.
App integrity	On every call to our server	A check by Apple (App Attest) or Google (Play Integrity) that the request comes from the real app on a real device.
Earlier player ID	Only for players coming from version 1	The ID version 1 kept on your phone, so earlier purchases can be linked to you.

We don’t collect your location, contacts, photos or microphone.

How we use it, and on what legal basis

Purpose	Data used	Legal basis (LGPD, art. 7)
Running the game and backing up your progress	Player ID, game progress	Performing the service you asked for (V)
Restoring your progress on a new phone	Apple or Google account, player ID, game progress	Performing the service you asked for (V)
Score lists	Nickname, scores	Performing the service you asked for (V)
Checking and delivering Premium	Purchases, player ID	Performing the service you asked for (V)
Preventing cheating and abuse	App integrity checks, score limits	Our legitimate interest in a fair game (IX)
Personalized ads	Advertising ID (see Ads)	Your consent (I), which you can refuse or withdraw

We don’t sell your personal data, and we don’t use it for anything not listed here.

What other players can see

The score lists in the game are public to all players. An entry shows your nickname (or no name, if you haven’t set one), your score and the number of capybaras saved. Nothing else about you is shown: not your account, email or player ID.

Pick a nickname you’re comfortable showing to other players. You can change or clear it at any time in Settings.

Ads

The free version shows ads through Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google may collect your device’s advertising identifier, IP address, device type and how you interact with the ads. Google uses this as described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

• iPhone: the game asks for your permission to track (App Tracking Transparency). If you say no, Google doesn’t get your advertising identifier and ads aren’t personalized. You can change this any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
• Android: you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalized ads, in your phone’s settings under Google → Ads.
• Premium removes ads entirely.

Open: players in the European Economic Area and the UK must also be shown Google’s consent message before personalized ads. This is planned for the ads step of 2.0; update this paragraph when it’s in.

Purchases

Premium is sold through the App Store (Apple) or Google Play (Google). They handle the payment under their own terms and privacy policies; we never receive your card or bank details.

When you buy or restore Premium, the game sends us the store’s transaction or purchase ID. Our server asks Apple or Google directly whether that purchase is real, paid and not refunded, and then marks Premium on your player. We keep a record of which player a purchase belongs to, so it can’t unlock many players at once.

Who processes your data, and where

We use these service providers, which process data on our behalf or as independent controllers:

Provider	What for	Where
Google Firebase (Google LLC)	Sign-in, database, server functions, app integrity	Data stored in the São Paulo, Brazil region (southamerica-east1)
Apple	Sign in with Apple, App Store purchases, App Attest	Apple’s servers, which may be outside Brazil
Google	Google sign-in, Google Play purchases, Play Integrity, AdMob ads	Google’s servers, which may be outside Brazil

When a provider processes data outside Brazil, the transfer relies on the safeguards in its own terms (LGPD, art. 33). Their policies: Firebase privacy, Google Privacy Policy, Apple Privacy Policy.

How long we keep it

• Your player, progress, nickname and scores: until you delete your account in the game (see below).
• Records of purchases: as long as the law requires us to keep records of sales, even after you delete your account. They hold only the store’s purchase ID and product, not your name or account.
• Data on your phone: until you delete the game.

Open: decide whether players who never made an account and haven’t played for a long time (for example 24 months) get deleted automatically. If so, state the period here; the server doesn’t do this yet.

Your rights

Under the LGPD (art. 18) you can ask us to:

• confirm whether we process your data, and give you access to it;
• correct incomplete or wrong data;
• anonymize, block or delete data that’s unnecessary or processed against the law;
• delete data processed with your consent;
• give you your data in a portable format;
• tell you who we share it with;
• withdraw your consent, and tell you what happens if you don’t give it.

Players in the European Union and the UK have similar rights under the GDPR, including objecting to processing based on our legitimate interest.

To use any of these rights, email bolovocode@gmail.com. Tell us your nickname, or how you sign in, so we can find your player; we may ask a question to confirm it’s you. We reply within 15 days. You can also complain to Brazil’s data protection authority, the ANPD.

Deleting your account

In the game, go to Settings → Account → Delete account and confirm. This erases, right away, your player, progress backup, nickname, score entries and the link to your Apple or Google account. For Apple accounts, the game also revokes the Sign in with Apple link. The game on your phone keeps your local progress and continues as a guest.

Playing without an account? Your progress backup is tied to an anonymous player ID. To have it erased, email bolovocode@gmail.com from the game’s Settings → Contact us, or delete the game and ask us by email.

You can also request deletion by email without opening the game: write to bolovocode@gmail.com with your nickname or how you sign in.

Open: Google Play asks apps with accounts for a web link where people can request deletion. This page’s address, with the paragraph above, can serve as that link.

Children

Capybara Field is a casual game for a general audience and isn’t directed at children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect personal data from children. If you’re a parent and think your child gave us personal data, email bolovocode@gmail.com and we’ll delete it.

Open: this must match the age rating and target audience you declare in the App Store and Google Play. If you target children, the rules for data and ads are much stricter.

Changes and contact

If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top and, for important changes, tell you in the game before they apply. The current version always lives at bolovocode.com/capybara-field-privacy-policy.
