Privacy Policy

We do not require you to open an account with BJ Software. We have no access to your email and do not collect any other personal details of any customer.

The PRO version of BJ Bridge does not display advertisements.
Other version of BJ Bridge run Google ads.
BJ Software products contain none of the following: violence, cartoon violence, drug references, nudity, sexual references, intolerance, profanity and excludes any ads with these features. 

BJ Bridge apps include free, but ad-funded products. This enables us to provide you with free-to-use products yet still generate some revenue to develop and support the products. You can choose to remove the adverts by buying the BJ Bridge Pro version.  
The advertising, analytics and social media services use anonymous identifiers. Anonymous information will be collected and shared with back end services to provide appropriate advertising content and information. For example, country or language information will be collected at run time to provide adverts relevant to the country or language currently in use. The advert providers (e.g. Google and their ad technology partners) will use these identifiers and cookies (or their mobile equivalents) to track which adverts you have been delivered and which adverts you have shown interest in. By doing so they are able to generate revenue from advertisers which in turn they share with us, thereby enabling you to benefit from free to use products.  

If you live in the European Economic Area (EEA), ad-supported versions of BJ Bridge will ask whether you are happy to continue to see “personalised” ads. (Personalised ads have always been provided previously, up to Spring 2018). We use 12 of the set of 'Commonly Used Ad Technology Providers' as defined by Google and these will be displayed on the welcome screen when you install the app. BJ Bridge subsequently lets you disable targeted adverts. On Android, choose "Options | More | System preferences | Review GDPR Choice option". On iOS, choose "options | System Preferences | Set ads preferences". If you do not wish any information to be collected or shared then do not download and use the free to play ad-funded products. The product description pages in the various app stores mark which products contain adverts.
 
BJ Bridge also contains Google Firebase Analytics. No personal data is collected such as names or email addresses. We use the analytics information simply to understand roughly how many, how and where in the world people are playing our games so we can improve the products. Google Firebase is certified under relevant privacy and security standards. BJ Bridge has an opt-out in its options settings if any user wishes to disable this activity. 

Changes to this Policy

We reserve the right to change this policy to meet the changing needs of BJ Software. 

If we make changes to these privacy policies, we will notify our users via our website and via the "recent changes" in the App Stores.
