Pet Tangle is a single-player offline puzzle game. We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect your name, email, phone number, or contacts. Your game progress is stored locally on your device (and, if you enable it, in your own private iCloud).
To keep the game free, the App shows ads (Google AdMob) and measures anonymous, aggregated usage (Google Firebase Analytics). These Google services may collect device and usage information as described below. On iOS, personalized advertising only happens if you grant permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt — if you decline, you still get the full game, just non-personalized ads.
We do not operate our own servers and do not receive your personal data directly. The following is processed by our third-party SDKs on our behalf:
| Category | Examples | Collected by | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Device identifiers | IDFA (only if you allow tracking), IDFV, advertising ID | Google AdMob | Serve and measure ads |
| Usage data | Levels played, buttons tapped, session length, ad/purchase events | Firebase Analytics, AdMob | Understand engagement, improve the game, measure ads |
| Approximate location | Coarse, region-level location inferred from IP address | AdMob, Firebase | Regional ad delivery, basic analytics |
| Device & technical data | Device model, OS version, language, network type, app version | Firebase Analytics, AdMob | Compatibility, diagnostics, analytics |
| Purchase events | Which in-app product was bought (not your card/payment details) | Firebase Analytics | Measure conversion; payment is handled by Apple |
We never collect: your real name, email address, contacts, photos, microphone, precise GPS location, health data, or browsing history.
Payments: In-app purchases are processed entirely by Apple. We do not see or store your credit-card or Apple ID payment information.
Before any cross-app/website tracking, iOS shows Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt.
You can change this any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
We use Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to obtain consent where required (e.g. the EEA, UK, Switzerland). Depending on your choices and region, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. You can reset ad personalization choices in the App's settings or your device settings. We do not sell your personal information.
Pet Tangle is a general-audience game and is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in regions where that is the minimum age). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us and we will delete it. Because the App shows third-party ads, it is not enrolled in Apple's Kids category.
We retain no personal data on our own systems (we have none). Data processed by Google is retained per Google's documented retention periods, configured to the shortest practical window. Communication with ad/analytics services uses encrypted (HTTPS) transport.
We may update this policy as the App evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, an in-app notice.
