Stitch Tales — Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 15, 2026

This privacy policy describes how the Stitch Tales mobile application (the “App”), developed by Aliaksei Pranko under the name PAA Studios (“we”, “us”), handles information when you use it on iOS and Android.

Summary

Stitch Tales 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 (stitched scenes, hints, daily rewards, settings) is stored locally on your device; the only copies are the backups in your own iCloud or Google account described below.

Advertising

The App shows ads served by Google AdMob, a third-party advertising service provided by Google: ads before a puzzle or a new attempt, and optional rewarded videos you can choose to watch for an extra hint, an extra life, or a doubled daily reward. 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.

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.
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). Analytics is turned on only after you accept this policy in the App. 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 puzzle was started or finished, or that a hint was used) 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.

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 or Google account, and are never transmitted to us.

Sharing, ratings, and support

When you share the App, it passes the message to your device’s share sheet, and it goes only to the app or person you choose.
Requests to rate the App use the App Store or Google Play rating dialog; your rating is handled by Apple or Google.
If you write to us by email from the App, we receive your email address and your message and use them only to reply to you.

Data we collect ourselves

Beyond the services described above, none. We have no access to your game progress, and we do not collect contact details or any other personal data, except the email you choose to send 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 in accordance with its policies.

Changes to this policy

If we change how the App handles data, we will update this policy and change the effective date above.
