Tap The Numbers — Privacy Policy

The app does not require an account and does not ask for your name, email address or contact details. The following data is handled on-device, by us, or by third-party services:

• Game progress. Your best score for each of the sixteen modes, your coin balance, and the ball styles and scenes you have unlocked are stored on your device.
• World rankings. If you choose to join the leaderboards, the app sends each finished run's score, the field and rule you played, the number of wrong taps and how long the run took to a leaderboard service we run ourselves, together with the display name you chose and a player identifier. The identifier is generated at random on your device; it is not your device's advertising identifier and is not linked to any account. There is no default name — the app asks you for one once, after your first run, and until you give one nothing is sent and nothing is stored about you. A display name is up to 12 characters of the letters A–Z, the digits 0–9, spaces, hyphens and underscores. Display names and best scores are shown publicly on the leaderboard, and names are screened automatically, so please do not put personal information in yours. You can set or change yours at any time from the RANKS screen.
• Advertising data. The app shows ads served by Google AdMob. 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.

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.

In regions where consent is required (such as the EEA, the UK and Switzerland), 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.

The app is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

We hold leaderboard entries — a display name, a randomly generated player identifier, and the runs submitted against it — on our own infrastructure, hosted with Amazon Web Services in the Sydney (Australia) region, for as long as the entry remains on a board. We hold nothing else about you: no account, no email address, no contact details, and nothing that identifies the person behind a name. If you never give a display name, we hold nothing at all. To have your name and scores removed from the leaderboard, email us at hello@chalkecustoms.com.au with the display name you play under and we will delete them.

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, and remove all local game data by deleting the app.

If we change how the app handles data, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above.

Questions about this policy can be sent to hello@chalkecustoms.com.au.
