Tilt — Privacy Policy
Tilt is a puzzle game made by Kai-Wei Sung (“we”). This policy explains what data the app uses and why.
The short version
- We don’t run any servers and we don’t receive any of your personal data.
- Your scores, settings and game progress stay on your device.
- The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. Google collects some data to show and measure those ads, as described below.
- Purchases are handled entirely by Apple. We never see your payment details.
Data stored on your device
The app saves your best score, your settings (sound, haptics), the game in progress, how many games you’ve played, ad-timing counters and whether you bought “Remove Ads”. This stays on your device and is never sent to us. Deleting the app deletes it.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
Tilt shows ads using the Google Mobile Ads SDK. Google says the SDK may collect:
- IP address, which may be used to estimate the general location of your device
- Device identifiers, such as the device’s advertising identifier (only if you allow tracking, see below) or other app- or developer-scoped identifiers
- Advertising data, such as ads you’ve seen
- Product interaction data, such as app launches, taps and video views
- Diagnostic data, such as crash logs and performance data (app launch time, hang rate, energy use)
Google uses this data to show ads, measure how ads perform, prevent fraud, and improve its services. It may be used for third-party advertising and analytics and shared with other companies that display ads. Google’s handling of this data is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Your choices
- Tracking (iPhone and iPad): after your first game the app asks whether it may track you, using Apple’s standard prompt. If you choose “Ask App Not to Track”, Google does not receive your device’s advertising identifier and ads are less personalized. You can change this at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland: when you first open the app, Google’s consent form lets you choose how your data is used for ads. You can change your choice at any time in the game under Pause → Settings → Privacy choices.
- Remove Ads: the optional “Remove Ads” purchase turns off the ads shown between games. Watching an ad to keep playing stays optional.
Purchases
The “Remove Ads” purchase is processed by Apple through the App Store. We receive no payment or account information. The app only asks Apple whether the purchase was made.
Children
Tilt is a general-audience game and is not directed at children under 13. Ads are limited to general-audience content. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, we’ll update the effective date above and publish the new version at this address.
