Who we are
Gorilla Rush is made by Banana Bolt, a small independent game studio in Israel ("we", "us"). The studio is owned by Daniel Nahman Levi (operating as Banana Bolt), 89 Derech Ramatayim, Hod HaSharon, Israel, who is responsible for the data described here (the "controller", or "database owner" under Israeli law). Contact: [email protected]. Our general Privacy Policy applies too and explains your rights, international transfers and security in more detail. עברית (Hebrew version)
Information stored on your device
The game saves your level, bananas, gems, upgrades, skins, settings (sound, vibration, motion, language, reminders) and purchases on your device. This data is not sent to us. Clearing the app's data or uninstalling the game deletes it from the device. If device backups are turned on (iCloud on iPhone, Google backup on Android), your phone may include the game's data in your own backup. We cannot access those backups.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
Gorilla Rush shows ads provided by Google AdMob, including optional rewarded ads you choose to watch. To show, measure and protect ads against fraud, Google's advertising SDK may automatically collect:
- Device identifiers, such as the Android advertising ID and app set ID, or on iPhone the advertising identifier (IDFA) if you allow tracking
- IP address, which can indicate your approximate location
- Ad interactions, such as ad views and taps, and app launch information
- Diagnostic information, such as crash and performance data
This data is collected and processed by Google, not by us. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, UK and Switzerland), the game shows Google's consent message before personalised ads are used. You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of ad personalisation at any time in your device's settings (on Android: Settings → Google → Ads).
On iPhone, the game asks Apple's "Allow tracking?" question the first time you open it. If you choose not to allow it, the advertising identifier is not shared and you still get ads, just not personalised ones. You can change your answer at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

In-app purchases
Gorilla Rush offers optional purchases: gem packs and No Ads. Payments are handled entirely by the store you downloaded the game from: Google Play Billing on Android, and Apple's In-App Purchase on iPhone. We never receive your name, email or payment details. The game only checks with that store on your device which purchases you own, so they can be delivered and restored.
Other companies involved
Only two other companies are involved, and each handles data under its own privacy policy: Google, which provides the ads (see the links above), and the store you downloaded the game from, which handles purchases. That is Google Play on Android (policies.google.com/privacy) or Apple on iPhone (apple.com/legal/privacy). We chose them because their published privacy commitments protect your data to at least the standard this policy describes. We do not share data with anyone else.
Reminder notifications
If you allow notifications, the game schedules occasional reminders directly on your device. These are local notifications; no push service or server is involved. You can turn them off in the game's Settings or in your phone's settings.
What we do not do
- We do not require or offer accounts or logins in this game.
- We do not use our own analytics or tracking.
- We do not sell your personal information.
- The game does not access your camera, microphone, contacts, photos or precise location.
Summary of data
| Data | Where it goes | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Game progress and settings | Stays on your device | Saving your game |
| Advertising ID (on iPhone only if you allow tracking), IP address and the approximate location it indicates, ad interactions, diagnostics | Google AdMob | Showing and measuring ads, fraud prevention |
| Purchase status | Google Play or the App Store, checked on your device | Delivering and restoring purchases |
Why we use data (legal bases)
You do not have to give us any information by law, and you can play without giving us anything. We use data only for the purposes above. Saving your game on your device is needed to provide what you asked for (our agreement with you). Personalised ads rely on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time in the game's privacy choices or your device settings. Stopping abuse relies on our legitimate interest in keeping the game safe.
Children
Children play our games, so we are careful. We are adding an age question to the game; once it is in, players under 13 (or under the age of digital consent in their country) only get non-personalised, family-friendly ads, and we tell Google to treat them as children. Parents can ask us to see or delete their child's data at any time: email us from the parent's address.
Your rights and deleting your data
Because we do not hold personal data on our own systems, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete, and we keep nothing after you remove the game. You can delete all Gorilla Rush data by uninstalling the game (on Android you can also clear the app's storage).
To withdraw permission for personalised ads, turn off tracking for the game on iPhone (Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking), or reset or delete your advertising ID on Android (Settings → Google → Ads). For data collected by Google, use Google's tools at myaccount.google.com. If you would like help with any of this, email us at the address below.
You can ask us to see the data we hold about you, to correct it or to delete it (Israeli Privacy Protection Law, sections 13-14; GDPR articles 15-21). We answer within 30 days, free of charge. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the Israeli Privacy Protection Authority (gov.il), or to your local data protection authority in the EU or UK.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the game handles data, we will update this page and its effective date.
