The short version: we don't ask who you are, we don't run a server, and we don't follow you around the internet. Your puzzles, streak and medals stay on your device. The free version shows ads, served by Google and chosen without any profile of you. A single purchase removes them entirely.
Nothing. Plug & Glow has no accounts, no sign-in and no servers of our own. We never see your name, your email, your location or how you play.
To remember your game, the app saves a small amount of information only on your device: your streak and daily results, which levels you have cleared and the stars you earned, your medals, your progress on the current board, and your settings. This never leaves your device, we cannot see it, and deleting the app deletes it.
The free version of the app shows full-screen ads between boards, served by Google AdMob. Every ad request the app makes is marked non-personalized, so ads are chosen from context rather than from anything Google knows about you. To deliver them and to stop the same ad repeating, Google may still collect:
The app does not ask for permission to track you, and does not use your device's advertising identifier to follow you across other companies' apps and websites. That is why you never see iOS's tracking prompt here.
This information goes to Google, not to us. We receive only anonymous, aggregated totals — how many ads were shown and what they earned. How Google uses data from apps that use its services is described in Google's policy.
Consent. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland or a US state with a privacy law of its own, the app shows a consent form from Google before any ad loads, and you choose what you agree to. You can change your answer at any time: open the medal case and tap Privacy options at the bottom.
Remove Ads. A one-time in-app purchase removes ads permanently. With ads removed, the advertising SDK is not used at all.
The Remove Ads purchase is handled entirely by Apple. We never see your payment details — only whether this Apple Account owns the purchase, which is what lets you restore it on another device. Apple's handling of purchase data is covered by Apple's privacy policy.
If you are signed in to Game Center, solving the daily board posts your result to a leaderboard so players can see who solved today's puzzle in the fewest taps. Your Game Center nickname and your score are visible to other players there. Game Center is Apple's service and is governed by Apple's privacy policy, not ours. Signing out of Game Center stops any of this; the game plays exactly the same without it.
When you tap Share Result, the app opens the standard iOS share sheet with a short text summary of your score. You choose whether and where to send it. We don't receive a copy.
Plug & Glow is a general-audience puzzle game. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided information through this app, email us and we will look into it.
Because we hold no personal information about you, there is nothing for us to export or delete — clearing it is as simple as deleting the app. For information held by Google in connection with advertising, use the consent and tracking controls described above, or contact Google directly.
If we change how the app handles information, we'll update this page and the effective date above before the change takes effect.
