Privacy Policy
Last updated: 18 September 2026
CS Bomb Timer and Alarm Clock ("CS Bomb", "the app") is made by Stupidsoft ("we"), the app studio of Brennstrøm Consult AS (org. no. 928 150 550), Ullern allé 20, 0381 Oslo, Norway. This policy explains what the app does with data, and it is short because the app does very little with it.
What the app is
CS Bomb is a countdown-timer prop for organized games such as airsoft, Nerf and laser tag, plus an optional alarm clock ("Wake & Defuse") in the paid Elite tier. It is not a real device and has no connection to any real explosive.
Data we collect ourselves
None. The app has no account system and no servers of its own. Your settings (sound, vibration, screen-on, alarm schedule, whether you have unlocked Elite) are stored only on your device and are deleted when you uninstall the app.
Data processed by third parties
Advertising (free tier only)
The free tier shows one interstitial ad after each round through Google AdMob (Google LLC). To serve and measure ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may process:
- your device's advertising ID and general device information (model, OS version, language, screen size),
- your approximate location derived from your IP address,
- app usage events related to the ad itself (that an ad was shown, viewed or tapped).
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the app asks for your consent before any ad is requested, using Google's consent form. You can change your choice at any time from Settings → Privacy options (ads) inside the app. Declining does not affect the app's features.
Google's policies for this data: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads and https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings under Privacy → Ads.
CS Bomb Elite removes ads entirely. Once Elite is unlocked, the ads SDK is not asked for anything.
Purchases
The Elite unlock is a one-time purchase handled by Google Play Billing. Google processes the payment; we never see your payment details. The app only receives a confirmation that the purchase exists so it can unlock Elite, and it re-checks that confirmation with Google Play when it starts. Google's terms: https://play.google.com/about/play-terms/.
Permissions the app asks for, and why
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Notifications | Shows the ongoing countdown while the app is in the background, and the alarm. |
| Alarms & reminders (exact alarms) | The countdown and the Wake & Defuse alarm must fire on the second, like a clock app. |
| Full-screen notifications | Lets the Wake & Defuse alarm open the app over the lock screen, like a clock app. |
| Run at startup | Re-schedules a saved alarm after the phone reboots. |
| Vibration | Haptic feedback on arm, defuse and detonation. |
The app does not use the camera, microphone, contacts, precise location or files.
Children
The app is intended for users aged 13 and over and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this address with a new "Last updated" date.
