1. About this policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the Piecewise mobile application on iPhone and iPad (the “App”). In this policy, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the developer of Piecewise.
2. Information used by the App
- Local game data: Level progress, earned stars, streak information, and app preferences are stored locally on your device so the game can remember your journey.
- Usage information: Firebase Analytics may process events such as screens viewed, feature use, and gameplay interactions to help us understand and improve the App.
- Diagnostics: Firebase Crashlytics may process crash logs, device and operating-system details, app state, and related technical identifiers to diagnose stability issues.
- Advertising information: Google AdMob may process device, ad interaction, approximate location derived from an IP address, and advertising identifiers where permitted, to deliver ads, prevent fraud, and measure performance.
- Purchase information: Apple processes payments. RevenueCat helps us verify purchase status and Premium entitlement and may process an app-specific user identifier, product and transaction information, and related technical data. We do not receive or store your payment-card details.
- Support messages: If you contact us, we receive the email address and information you choose to include in your message.
3. How information is used
- Provide gameplay, save local progress, and remember settings.
- Measure feature performance and improve the player experience.
- Identify crashes, prevent abuse, and resolve technical issues.
- Serve and measure advertising.
- Verify purchases, unlock Premium, and restore entitlements.
- Respond to support and privacy requests.
4. Service providers
We use service providers that process information for the purposes described above:
- Google: Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, and Google AdMob. See Google’s Privacy Policy and Firebase Privacy and Security.
- RevenueCat: purchase validation and entitlement management. See RevenueCat’s Privacy Policy.
- Apple: App Store distribution, in-app purchases, and subscription management. See Apple’s Privacy Policy.
We do not sell personal information for money. Advertising activity may be treated as “sharing” or “targeted advertising” under some privacy laws; the controls below let you limit that activity where available.
5. Your choices
- Tracking: When the iOS tracking prompt is shown, you can allow or deny tracking. You can change this later under iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- Advertising consent: Where required, the App may present additional ad privacy choices. Ads can still appear when tracking is denied, but they may be less personalized.
- Subscriptions: Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account subscription settings.
- Local data: Deleting the App generally removes locally stored gameplay data and preferences from that device.
- Requests: Contact us to ask a privacy question or exercise rights available under applicable law.
6. Retention and security
Local gameplay data remains on your device until it is removed by you or the operating system. Our service providers retain information according to their own policies, service settings, and legal obligations. We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information, but no system can guarantee absolute security.
7. Children
Piecewise is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can review and address the request.
8. International processing
Our service providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live. Their privacy policies describe the safeguards they use for international transfers.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the App or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date above will show when the latest version became effective.
