1. Introduction
At Tidy the Tints, we believe privacy is a fundamental human right. Our game is designed so that you can relax and solve puzzles without worrying about invasive tracking or personal data collection. This Privacy Policy explains how data is handled when you download, install, and play Tidy the Tints on iOS and Android devices.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
We do not require you to create an account, register an email address, or provide any personally identifiable information (such as your name, physical address, or phone number) to play Tidy the Tints.
3. Information Collected Automatically
To ensure smooth puzzle gameplay, troubleshoot bugs, and provide optional in-game rewards, the app interacts with trusted third-party SDKs:
-
Anonymous Gameplay Analytics (Firebase Analytics): We collect aggregated, anonymous game telemetry—such as level completion rates, daily streak counts, puzzle solve times, and crash reports. This data is never linked to your personal identity and is used solely to balance level difficulty and improve game stability.
-
Advertising & Mediation (Google AdMob, Unity Ads, Meta Audience Network, Liftoff Vungle):
Tidy the Tints displays optional rewarded video ads (e.g. for unlocking bonus flasks or hints) and occasional interstitial ads between games. Depending on your consent choices via the in-app User Messaging Platform (UMP) or Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt, advertising partners may collect device identifiers (such as IDFA / GAID) to deliver personalized or contextual ads.
-
In-App Purchases (Apple StoreKit / Google Play Billing):
When you purchase the optional Remove Ads upgrade, the transaction is processed directly and securely by Apple or Google. We do not receive, store, or process your credit card numbers or financial details.
-
Game Center / Play Games:
If you are signed into Apple Game Center, achievements and leaderboard scores are stored securely on Apple's servers according to Apple's Privacy Policy.
4. Consent & Tracking Transparency (GDPR & ATT)
We strictly adhere to global privacy frameworks, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework.
- EEA / UK Players: You are presented with a consent banner allowing you to consent to or refuse personalized advertising and third-party data collection. You can change your preferences at any time in the in-game Settings sheet.
- ATT Framework: On iOS 14.5+, the app explicitly requests permission before any tracking across apps and websites occurs. If you decline, only non-personalized, contextual ads will be displayed.
5. Offline Mode & Local Storage
Tidy the Tints is fully playable offline. Your puzzle progress, unlocked vessel styles, particle trails, and streak records are stored locally on your device in secure sandbox storage.
6. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Tidy the Tints is a general audience family-friendly logic puzzle game. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
7. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any telemetry data associated with your pseudonymous device identifier. You may also opt out of personalized advertising via your device operating system settings (Settings ▸ Privacy ▸ Tracking on iOS).
