Scrapyard Battle Tank Privacy Policy
Becondale Studios ยท Last updated 3 November 2026
In short: Scrapyard Battle Tank has no accounts, no chat and nowhere to type a name. We don't ask for or collect any personal information. Your game progress stays on your device. The game shows optional video ads from Google AdMob, only when the player taps a "Watch ad" button. Every ad request is marked as coming from a children's app, so only family-safe, non-personalised ads are shown.
Who we are
Scrapyard Battle Tank is made by Becondale Studios ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the game uses and why. If you have any questions, see "Contact us" at the end.
Information we collect
We do not collect any personal information. The game does not ask for a name, email address, phone number, photos, contacts or location, and it has no sign-in, chat or social features.
Information stored on your device
To remember where you got to, the game saves the following on your device only:
- game progress: level, scrap, Forge upgrades, rebirths, lives and weapons waiting for the next run
- your in-game nickname, built from two preset words (for example "TurboBadger")
This information is not sent to us. You can wipe your game progress at any time with Settings > Reset progress in the game. Uninstalling the game removes all of it.
Advertising
The game is free and includes optional rewarded video ads, provided by Google AdMob. An ad only plays when the player chooses to watch one (for example to continue after the tank is wrecked or to get extra lives). The game can be played all the way through without watching any ads.
Because the game is made for children, every ad request is set up as follows:
- Child-directed: it is tagged as coming from a children's app, under the US Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
- Under the age of consent: it is tagged for users under the age of consent in the UK and Europe (GDPR).
- Family-safe: ad content is limited to the "G" (general audiences) rating.
With these settings Google does not show personalised (interest-based) ads or remarketing ads. To deliver an ad, prevent fraud and count how many ads were shown, Google may still process limited technical information, such as the device's IP address, device type, operating system and whether an ad was watched. We do not receive any of this information in a form that identifies you. You can read more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and in the Google Privacy Policy.
In-app purchases
The game has no in-app purchases.
Children's privacy
Scrapyard Battle Tank is designed to be suitable for children and follows the Google Play Families Policy. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we hold information about your child, please contact us and we will help.
Future features
We may add online leaderboards in a future update. If we do, they will use only the preset-word nickname and game scores, and this policy will be updated before that update is released.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update it on this page and change the "Last updated" date at the top.
