Pixtangle — Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 30, 2026
This privacy policy describes how the Pixtangle mobile application (the “App”), developed by Aliaksei Pranko (“we”, “us”), handles information when you use it on iOS and Android.
Summary
Pixtangle is an offline puzzle game. We do not require an account, we do not operate our own servers, and we do not ourselves collect, store, or share any personal information. Your game progress (completed levels, coins, collection, settings) is stored locally on your device and may be backed up to your own iCloud or Google account, as described below; it is never sent to us.
Advertising
The App shows ads served by Google AdMob, a third-party advertising service provided by Google. To serve and measure ads, prevent fraud, and limit how often you see the same ad, Google may collect and process information from your device, including:
- device advertising identifiers (IDFA on iOS, Advertising ID on Android);
- IP address and coarse (approximate) location derived from it;
- device and app information (model, operating system, app version);
- ad interaction data (views, clicks).
This data is collected and processed by Google under its own privacy policy. Please see Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Through AdMob mediation, ads may also come from these advertising networks, which receive the same kinds of information to serve and measure the ad they show, each under its own privacy policy:
Your choices and consent
- In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, the App shows a consent form (Google User Messaging Platform) before any ads are requested. You can decline or customize consent; you can change your choice at any time in the App under Profile → Ad privacy. Some ad partners rely on legitimate interest rather than consent for purposes such as ad measurement and fraud prevention; the same form lets you object to that processing.
- On iOS, the App requests permission through Apple’s App Tracking Transparency before using the advertising identifier. You can change this in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- You can reset or delete your advertising identifier in your device settings at any time.
Crash reporting and analytics
To keep the App stable and understand how it is played, we use Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Analytics (services provided by Google). They collect:
- crash reports: device model, operating system version, app version, and the technical state of the App at the moment of a crash;
- anonymous usage events (for example, that a level was started or completed) together with app instance identifiers, device and app information.
We configure Firebase Analytics not to collect advertising identifiers. This data is aggregated, is not used to identify you, and is processed by Google under the Firebase privacy documentation.
In-app purchases
The App offers optional purchases through the App Store and Google Play. Payments are handled by Apple or Google under their own terms, and we never see your payment details. To deliver a purchase, the App receives a transaction record from the store, and it logs which product was bought and how the purchase ended as events in Firebase Analytics.
Game Center
On iOS, the App uses Apple Game Center for achievements and leaderboards if you are signed in to it. Your scores and achievements are sent to Apple and shown to other players according to your Game Center settings, under the Apple Privacy Policy.
Data we collect ourselves
Beyond the services described above, none. The App works offline apart from those services. We have no access to your game progress, and we do not collect contact details or any other personal data.
Progress backups
To let your game progress survive reinstalling the App, it may be backed up to your own cloud storage: your personal iCloud account on iOS and your personal Google Drive (via Android Auto Backup) on Android. These backups contain only game progress, stay within your own Apple/Google account, and are never transmitted to us.
Children
The App is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Ads are served through Google AdMob and its mediation partners in accordance with their policies.
Changes to this policy
If we add features that change how data is handled (for example, a new advertising partner), we will update this policy and change the effective date above.
