What we collect

Page views are counted by Umami, running on the same server as the site rather than at a third party. It sets no cookies and stores no personal data, so it needs no consent; the consent message European visitors may see is for the ads below.

It records the page, the referrer, and coarse details your browser sends anyway: country, browser, operating system, screen size. It does not record IP addresses, and nothing links one visit to another or to a person.

A few named events are also counted, all of them anonymous: installing the web app, opening it, tapping the Android download, tapping the buttons that lead into the Google Play test, and sharing a page as a picture. The download event carries which page it came from and which version was offered, so an upgrade can be told apart from a first install. Nothing else.

The website shows ads served by Google AdSense, which pay for the server. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technology to show and measure ads, including ads based on earlier visits to this and other sites. Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland are asked first, through Google's consent message, and can refuse.

You can turn off personalised ads in Google's ad settings. How Google uses this data is explained in Google's own policy. The BrawlZone Bubble app and its panel show no ads.

Our TikTok and YouTube channels are published from our own server: BrawlZone uses YouTube API Services only to upload its own videos to its own channel, and reads no data from visitors' YouTube or Google accounts. YouTube's use of data is covered by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

A handful of preferences live in your browser's local storage: saved players and clubs, recent searches, saved rosters, whether you dismissed the install prompt, and — in the Android app's panel — the game mode and map you last looked at.

These never leave your device. They are not synced, not backed up by us, and not readable by the server. Clearing your browser data removes them, and the site works without them.

Searching a player tag, on the site or in the app, sends it to the official Brawl Stars API to fetch that profile. The public game stats that come back (player name, tag, trophies, rank and brawler counts) are saved once a day so the profile can show progress over time, and the account joins the pool sampled for statistics. Nothing about the person searching is stored: no IP address, no device, no link between a search and whoever made it.

Separately, BrawlZone samples public profiles and battle logs from that same official API to build the statistics the site is for — tier lists, map picks, matchups. That data is public in the game, is stored as aggregates rather than as a dossier on any player, and is bounded by retention windows. There is more about where it comes from on the about page.

If your profile appears in the sampled data and you would rather it did not, email [email protected] with your tag and it will be excluded.

The bubble needs Display over other apps so it can draw on top of the game. That permission lets it put pixels on your screen; it does not let it read them. The app never captures or reads your screen, and does not read your game account, your files, your contacts or your other apps.

If you enter your player tag, the app sends it to brawlzone.net to show your profile, your brawlers and what to upgrade next, exactly as the site does for a search (see above). The tags you have used, with their player names, and your settings are kept on your phone so you can switch accounts; they are removed when you uninstall the app or clear its data, and a long press removes one.

Its panel is a web view of a page on this site, so opening it counts as an anonymous page view here and nothing more. All traffic is encrypted (HTTPS). The app contains no advertising or analytics SDK and shares nothing with third parties.

Installed from Google Play, the app is covered by Google's own privacy policy for the Play Store, and Google gives us aggregate statistics such as install counts and crash reports. Downloaded from the download page, it comes with a SHA-256 checksum so you can verify the file is the one we published.

What is on your device is yours to remove: clear the site's data in your browser, or uninstall the app. To have a player profile's saved stats deleted and the tag excluded from future sampling, email [email protected] with the tag. It is done within 30 days, usually much sooner.

Sampled battle data is kept only as long as the statistics need it and is then deleted or reduced to aggregates that describe no individual player.
