Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2024
This Privacy Policy applies to the Squishy Cookie Swirl Smasher app available on the App Store.

Overview

How we think about your data

We respect and value your privacy, and we only process data to the extent necessary to provide and improve the gameplay experience.

The app does not require you to create an account and does not actively collect information that directly identifies you (such as your name or phone number), unless you voluntarily contact us (for example, by email).

Our principles: lightweight, transparent, experience‑first

What we may collect

Device information (such as model and OS version), basic usage data, crash logs and diagnostic information.

Why we use it

To keep core features running reliably, analyze performance issues, improve the game experience, and troubleshoot problems when needed.

Details

Data types & third‑party services

Depending on your device settings and the choices you make in the App Store, the app may indirectly access the following types of data via Apple or other third‑party services (such as analytics or ad networks):

  • Device and system information (for example, device model, OS version, language settings).
  • App interaction data (such as session duration, taps on features, and crash reports).
  • Advertising‑related identifiers processed by third‑party SDKs, if you choose to allow app tracking in your system settings.

The exact scope of collection and use is governed by the “App Privacy” section on the App Store product page and the privacy policies of the relevant third‑party services.

1. Information we collect

We may collect, or obtain through third‑party services, the following types of information:

  • Device information: such as device model, operating system version, screen resolution, and language/region settings.
  • Usage data: such as when you open the app, basic usage patterns, and aggregate statistics about feature interactions.
  • Logs and diagnostic data: information generated when the app crashes or behaves unexpectedly, used to debug and improve performance.

2. How we use information

We use the information described above for purposes such as:

  • Providing, maintaining, and optimizing the app’s core features and gameplay experience.
  • Improving performance and stability, fixing bugs, and enhancing visuals and interactions.
  • Performing aggregated, de‑identified analytics to understand overall usage trends.

3. Data storage and protection

We take reasonable, industry‑standard measures to help protect the data we process from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, alteration, or destruction. For data handled through third‑party services (such as analytics or crash reporting), we rely on those providers’ security practices and compliance obligations.

4. Sharing information with third parties

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Data may be shared with, or processed by, third parties only in the following situations:

  • When we use third‑party SDKs or services for analytics, crash reporting, or advertising, and they need limited data to provide those services.
  • When required by law, regulation, or legal process, or in response to valid requests by public authorities.

These third parties are allowed to use the data only as necessary to provide services on our behalf and must handle it in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable laws.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

If you access our services via a website or related links, that site may use cookies or local storage technologies to remember your preferences, measure visits, or improve your browsing experience. The mobile app itself generally does not set traditional browser cookies on your device.

6. Children’s privacy

The game is suitable for families and younger players, and we do not knowingly collect personal information that can directly identify children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have collected information about a child without proper consent, please contact us using the details below and we will review and address the situation promptly.

7. Your rights

Where permitted by applicable laws and regulations, you may have rights in relation to your data, such as the right to request access, correction, restriction, or deletion. Because we typically do not hold information that directly identifies you, such requests may need to be exercised through the platforms or third‑party services you use (for example, Apple’s privacy tools).

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in features, practices, or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page and will take effect from the date they are published. For significant changes, we may also notify you within the app or through other reasonable means.
