Crease! — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 29 September 2026
This privacy policy describes how the Crease! app for iOS and Android ("the app") handles your information. The app is developed and published by Chalke Customs ("we", "us").
Information we collect
The app does not require an account and does not ask for your name, email address or contact details. We do not run any server for the app, so nothing you do in it is sent to us. The following data is handled on-device or by third-party services:
- Game progress. The stars you earn on each level, your daily streak, your coin balance, the papers, ink sets and mats you own, and your settings are stored on your device.
- Purchases. In-app purchases are handled by the App Store or Google Play. We receive confirmation that a purchase was made so the app can unlock it; we never receive your payment details.
- Advertising data. The app shows ads served by Google AdMob, including an optional rewarded ad for a free hint. AdMob may collect device identifiers (such as the advertising identifier, where you have allowed tracking), coarse ad-interaction data, and diagnostic information to serve and measure ads. See Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses advertising data.
- Approximate location. The advertising SDK receives your device's IP address, which may be used to estimate the general area the device is in. This is an approximation drawn from the network connection, not a position from your device: the app never asks for location access and does not use location services.
- Diagnostics. Aggregate crash and performance data may be collected by the advertising SDK to keep the app and ads functioning correctly.
App Tracking Transparency
On iOS the app asks for your permission before tracking. If you choose “Ask App Not to Track”, your device's advertising identifier is not shared with AdMob and you will see non-personalised ads instead. You can change this at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. Android has no equivalent prompt; there you can reset or delete your advertising ID in Settings > Privacy > Ads.
Advertising and consent
In regions where consent is required (such as the EEA and UK), the app presents a consent form powered by Google's User Messaging Platform before showing personalised ads. You can decline personalised ads and still play the game. Buying Remove Ads turns off banner and interstitial ads; the optional rewarded hint ad stays available.
Children
The app is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Data retention and your rights
We hold no data about you. Your game progress lives only on your device and is removed when you delete the app; Reset progress in the app's Settings clears it without deleting the app.
Data handled by Google (AdMob) is retained under Google's own policies and you can exercise your privacy rights directly with them. You can also reset your device's advertising identifier at any time in your device settings.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles data, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above.
