Privacy Policy
In short
- You don't need an account, and we never ask for your name, email or location to play.
- Web versions on pontpixel.com have no ads, analytics or tracking cookies. Your progress stays in your browser.
- Store apps (iPhone, iPad, Android) use analytics, crash reports and ads, and may use your device's advertising ID. We ask for your consent first where the law requires it, and you can change your choice at any time.
- Purchases go through Apple or Google. We never see your card details.
- We don't sell your personal data.
1. Who we are
The data controller is Vsevolod Laskavyi, Entrepreneur individuel (EI), trading as Pont Pixel, RCS Bordeaux 944 738 525, 282 Rue Turenne, 33000 Bordeaux, France. For any privacy question or request, write to hello@pontpixel.com.
2. Web versions (pontpixel.com)
- Progress and settings (restored pictures, stars, coins, streaks, theme, language, sound) are saved in your browser's local storage. They never leave your device, and we can't see them. Clearing your browser data deletes them.
- Hosting: our pages are hosted by GitHub, which may keep standard server logs, such as IP addresses, for security.
- The web versions show no ads and use no analytics or tracking cookies.
3. Store apps (iPhone, iPad, Android)
Your progress is saved on your device. We use the following services to understand how the games are played, fix crashes and show ads:
| Service | Why we use it | Data involved |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase Analytics | See which levels are too hard, where players stop and which features are used | Game events (level start and finish, stars, coins spent, purchases made), an app instance ID, device model, OS version, language, country (from IP address), session times |
| Google Firebase Crashlytics | Find and fix crashes | Crash reports, device model, OS version, app version, an installation ID |
| Google AdMob | Show ads, including optional ads you watch for a reward | Advertising ID (IDFA on Apple devices, only if you allow tracking; Android advertising ID), IP address, device and app information, ad interactions |
| Meta (Facebook) SDK | Measure how well our ads on Facebook and Instagram bring new players | Advertising ID (on Apple devices, only if you allow tracking), app installs and launches, levels reached, purchases, device information, IP address |
These providers act on our behalf or, for some advertising purposes, as independent controllers under their own policies: Firebase, Google ads, Meta.
Advertising ID. On iPhone and iPad, we only access the advertising ID (IDFA) if you tap Allow on Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. On Android, you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device's settings.
Personalized ads. In the EU, UK and Switzerland, a consent screen (Google's consent tool) asks you before any personalized ads or analytics cookies are used. If you say no, you can still play. Ads will be less relevant, and Google may still use limited data to prevent fraud and cap how often you see an ad.
We don't collect your name, email, contacts, photos or precise location, and there is no chat or user-generated content.
4. Purchases
In-app purchases (such as coin packs or removing ads) are handled by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) under their own terms and privacy policies. We receive only what we need to deliver the item: the product, price, date, country and a transaction ID. We never receive your payment card details, name or billing address. We use RevenueCat to check that purchases are valid and to restore them on a new device. RevenueCat receives the transaction details and an anonymous app user ID.
5. Email and support
If you write to us, we use your email address and message only to reply and to help you. Our email is hosted by Zoho Mail in the EU.
6. Legal bases (GDPR)
- Performance of our terms (providing the game, saving progress, delivering purchases).
- Consent for analytics, personalized ads and ad measurement where required. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting what happened before.
- Legitimate interest for crash reports, security and fraud prevention, and non-personalized ads that keep the game free.
- Legal obligation for keeping accounting records of purchases.
7. How long we keep data
- Progress on your device: until you delete the app or clear browser data.
- Analytics data: up to 14 months.
- Crash reports: 90 days.
- Purchase records: 10 years, as French accounting law requires.
- Support emails: up to 3 years after our last exchange.
8. Transfers outside the EU
Google, Meta, RevenueCat and GitHub may process data in the United States and other countries. These transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
9. Your choices and rights
- Change your ad and analytics choices at any time in the app: Settings → Privacy.
- On iPhone and iPad: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. On Android: Settings → Google → Ads (or Privacy → Ads).
- Deleting the app removes your progress from your device.
Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the use of your data, to data portability, and to withdraw your consent. Write to hello@pontpixel.com. We don't have accounts, so we may ask for a detail that helps us find your data, such as a purchase transaction ID. We reply within one month. You can also file a complaint with the French data protection authority, the CNIL, or with the authority in your country.
California and other US states: we don't sell personal information. Sharing the advertising ID with ad networks may count as "sharing" for targeted advertising. You can opt out with the choices above.
10. Children
Our games are made for a general audience and aren't directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 or, in the EU, under the age of digital consent in their country (15 in France) without a parent's consent. If you think a child has given us personal data, write to us and we'll delete it.
11. Game portals and stores
If you play one of our games on a third-party website or game portal, that site's own privacy policy covers any ads, analytics or accounts it runs. The App Store and Google Play also collect data under their own policies.
12. Changes
We will update this policy when our games or the services they use change, and update the date at the top. If a change needs your consent, we will ask for it in the app.
