Brick Breaker: Legend Balls

Since I didn’t get a response back from the developer regarding the law as outlined below I take it that the developer does not intend to follow the law so i have deleted the game as this developer cannot be trusted. Really?? You’re want players to provide age to play…this game does not need that information so you’re just phishing. If this doesn’t go away I WILL be deleting. Too bad, I’ve been playing this for a few years but no more if you don’t stop this stupidity. This is in response to the developer response about age: You are requiring SPECIFIC BIRTHDATE as verification when the law only states to confirm with AGE CATERGORIES as related below: For App Store Owners: An “app store owner” is defined as a publicly available website, software application or other electronic service that distributes software applications to the user of a mobile device. This broad definition requires most businesses in the US to pay attention. The requirements for app store owners are as follows: Most notably, the ASAA requires app store owners to use a commercially reasonable method (undefined) to verify the age of any individual in Texas who creates an account (ASAA § 121.021(a)). Each user must be assigned to one of four statutory age categories: "child" (under 13), "younger teenager" (13–15), "older teenager" (16–17), or "adult" (18+). (ASAA § 121.021(b)). If a user is a minor (under 18), the app store is required to ensure that the minor’s account is affiliated with a verified parent or guardian account. (ASAA § 121.022(a)). The app store must use a commercially reasonable method to verify that the parent or guardian is an adult with legal authority over the minor. Parental consent must be obtained for each individual download or purchase by the minor, and the app store must notify developers if consent is revoked. If there are significant changes to the app, renewed consent must be obtained (ASAA § 121.022(b)). To obtain consent, the app store owner may use any commercially reasonable means to verify the minor account is affiliated with a parent account and that the owner of the parent account has the legal decision making authority over the minor account’s owner (ASAA § 121.022(b)).[ If the app store displays ratings or content notices in Texas, it is obligated to clearly, accurately, and conspicuously display the age rating and the specific content or elements that led to the rating for each app (ASAA § 121.023(a)-(b)). App stores must also provide app developers with current information on the age category assigned to each user and whether parental consent has been obtained for minors (ASAA § 121.024). App stores must limit the collection and processing of Personal Data (defined next) to what is necessary for age verification, obtaining consent, and maintaining compliance records. “Personal Data” means any information, including sensitive or pseudonymous data, that is linked or reasonably linkable to an identified or identifiable individual, but does not include deidentified or publicly available information (ASAA § 121.002(5)). App stores are prohibited from enforcing contracts or terms of service against minors who entered into agreements without proper parental consent, knowingly misrepresenting information disclosed to parents, obtaining blanket consents for multiple purchases, or sharing personal data except as required by law or the ASAA (ASAA § 121.026). For Application Developers: An “application developer” is any person or entity that makes a software application available to users in Texas through an app store (ASAA § 121.051). Again, this broad definition will encompass most US businesses with customers in Texas. The requirements for app developers are as follows: Developers are required to assign an age rating to each software application and each in-app purchase, based on the statutory age categories, and must provide both the rating and the reasons for it to each app store through which the application is made available (ASAA § 121.052). Developers must use information received from app stores to verify each user's age category and, for minors, whether parental consent has been obtained (ASAA § 121.054). Before making any significant changes to the terms of service, privacy policy, data collection practices, app ratings, monetization features, or app functionality, developers must notify each app store (ASAA § 121.053). Personal Data received from app stores may only be used for enforcing age-related restrictions, ensuring legal compliance, and implementing safety features and default settings. This data must be deleted after the required verification is completed (ASAA § 121.055). Developers are prohibited from enforcing contracts or terms of service against minors without proper consent, knowingly misrepresenting age ratings or the reasons for those ratings, or sharing or disclosing user personal data acquired under the ASAA (ASAA § 121.056).

Game is great fun and a wonderful optical workout

I’ve been playing this one for a little over 3 years and now they add an age verification. Can’t they collect my personal information secretly
