Pivot! Privacy Policy
I'm Cole Troester, and I make Pivot! on my own. There's no account, and I don't collect your name or email. Here's what the game does collect and why.
Your save
Your game is saved on your iPhone. If iCloud is on, a copy is kept in your iCloud account so you can move to a new phone. I can't access it.
Analytics
I use Google Firebase to see how the game is played and to adjust things like ad rewards without an update. It collects game events (like Pivoting or watching an ad), a random install ID, device model, iOS and app version, and your rough location from your IP address. None of it is tied to your identity or used to track you across other apps.
Ads
Ads only play when you choose to watch one for a reward. They're served by Google AdMob, which may collect your IP address, device info and how you interact with the ad. If you allow tracking, AdMob can also use your advertising ID to show more relevant ads. You get the same rewards either way. In the EU, UK and Switzerland you'll be asked for consent first, and you can change it in the game's Settings. With the Ad-Free Pass, no ads load at all.
See Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses data from apps.
Purchases
Purchases are handled by Apple. I never see your payment details.
Notifications
Notifications are optional and scheduled on your phone. Nothing is sent to a server.
Children
Pivot! is rated 12+ and isn't directed at children. I don't knowingly collect data from children under 13.
Your choices
You can turn off ad tracking in iPhone Settings under Privacy & Security, then Tracking. Deleting the app removes your save from the phone, and you can remove the iCloud copy in iCloud storage settings. To ask about or delete analytics data, email me.
Changes
If this policy changes, I'll update this page and the date above.
