Privacy Policy

Saved progress

Records, daily-challenge results, Story Mode progress, vehicle discoveries, unlocks, and settings are stored on your device. Ekky Ekky LLC does not receive these local records or provide a gameplay account or cloud-sync service.

Device backups may include this data. Pending leaderboard scores are stored until submitted; daily entries may expire. On Android, pending scores and their player identifier are excluded from backup and device transfer.

Gameplay statistics

Versions released from November 2026 share anonymous gameplay statistics with Ekky Ekky LLC to improve balance and stability. Sharing is on by default; turn it off any time in About → Share gameplay statistics (iPhone) or Settings → Share gameplay statistics (Android).

Shared data is a random install ID created on your device, gameplay events such as runs, scores, modes, and continues, settings changes, ad and consent outcomes, purchase outcomes without payment details, and crash and performance reports. On iPhone, Apple's Search Ads attribution token is sent once, exchanged for campaign information, and discarded. No name, email address, Apple Account, Google Account, player identifier, message, or precise location is included.

Statistics are sent over an encrypted connection and kept for 90 days with the install ID; IP addresses are not stored with them. Turning sharing off deletes queued statistics and the install ID. Because the ID is not linked to you, we cannot find or erase an install's statistics; they expire on their own.

Optional leaderboards

On iPhone, Apple Game Center handles Standard, One Life, and Daily Challenge rankings. On Android, Google Play Games handles Standard, One Life, and supported daily-challenge rankings. The two services have separate rankings. Gameplay and local records remain available without signing in.

Ranked scores are sent to the provider and linked to your game profile. Leaderboards show provider-managed display names, ranks, and scores. The app uses game-specific player identifiers to identify entries and keep pending scores associated with the correct player. Google's service may also process gamer identity, usage analytics, and diagnostics.

Apple and Google control profile visibility and retain the data under their own policies. Ekky Ekky does not host the rankings, receive your account password, or request your contacts or friends list. See Game Center privacy and Play Games data handling.

Optional purchases

Apple processes the optional permanent Ad-Free Play purchase, confirms ownership, and handles payment, restoration, and refunds. Ekky Ekky does not receive your payment details or Apple Account credentials. Family Sharing is not enabled.

On Android, Google Play processes the separate permanent Ad-Free purchase, payment, restoration, and refunds. The app checks and acknowledges ownership with Google Play and keeps a signed purchase receipt on the device so the benefit can work offline. This receipt is excluded from Android backup and device transfer. Ekky Ekky does not receive your payment details or Google Account password, and does not store receipts on its own server.

Optional ads

Standard mode offers one optional Google rewarded ad per run for an extra life. You can always end the run instead. Ads may be loaded in advance, so Google may process data even if you do not watch an ad. Core gameplay works offline.

Google Mobile Ads and participating advertising providers may process IP addresses and approximate location, device and advertising identifiers, ad views and rewards, app interactions, crash reports, performance data, and diagnostics. These support ad delivery, frequency limits, reward verification, measurement, security, fraud prevention, and service reliability.

iPhone: where your region requires consent, Google shows a message before ads load, and ads stay non-personalized with Google's restricted-data setting until you agree; reopen it from About → Privacy Options. Elsewhere, ads follow Google's policies and your device settings. After your first run the game asks once for Apple's tracking permission; declining keeps your advertising identifier out of ads. Ads keep Google's general content rating; non-personalized ads still involve data processing. Ad loading stops once Apple confirms Ad-Free Play; it can resume if Apple refunds or revokes the purchase.

Android: Google shows any required regional consent or privacy message before ads load. Ad selection and personalization follow the resulting choices. Where available, reopen the message through Settings → Privacy Choices. Skipping an ad does not prevent data processing from ad loading. Confirmed Ad-Free ownership stops ads from loading and showing; refunds or revocations can remove that benefit.

Provider details: iPhone ad data, Android ad data, and Google's partner-app privacy information.

Sharing and permissions

Apple and Google process the information needed for their services; advertising providers may process ad-related data under their own policies. Ekky Ekky does not sell player profiles and receives only the anonymous gameplay statistics described above. Store downloads are handled by Apple or Google.

The game does not request your contacts, photos, camera, microphone, or precise location. Android uses internet, network, vibration, billing, and advertising-related permissions.

Keeping and deleting data

Local progress remains until changed or deleted. Removing the app, or clearing its storage on Android, removes local data; device backups may retain or restore it. Ekky Ekky cannot access, correct, export, or erase those records remotely. Shared gameplay statistics expire after 90 days.

Deleting the app does not delete provider-held scores, advertising records, purchases, or backups, or cancel a pending store purchase. Apple and Google control retention and deletion of their records. Follow the privacy choices and deletion instructions to manage them separately.

Children

Tiny Traffic Circle is not a child-directed service and does not ask for a birth date. Apple applies its child-account and parental controls. Parents can decline optional ads and turn off gameplay statistics. Contact us if a child has sent personal information in a support message.

Security and processing locations

Device records use operating-system protections. Data sent to Apple and Google uses their security controls; Play Games data is encrypted in transit. No storage or transmission is completely secure. These providers, advertising partners, email, hosting, and font services may process data in countries where they operate.

The short version

No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No tracking. Pocket Prosody does not collect or transmit personal information, drafts, scansion results, audio, or challenge history.

Information stored only on your device

Pocket Prosody stores the information needed to provide its features on your device:

• Draft titles and verse text.
• Manual syllable-stress edits.
• Draft creation and update timestamps.
• Challenge choices, scores, reveal status, and attempt timestamps.

This information is used only to display, edit, save, and practice with your work. The app has no account, iCloud sync, custom sync service, or developer-operated backend that sends it to Ekky Ekky LLC.

Analysis and audio

Scansion analysis runs on the device using pronunciation data included with Pocket Prosody. Draft text is not sent to a server for analysis.

Beat playback is synthesized in memory and sent to the device’s audio output. Pocket Prosody does not record, store, or transmit microphone audio.

User-initiated sharing

Pocket Prosody can prepare a text rendering, an annotated PDF, or a high-resolution PNG image of the selected draft and scansion. It can also prepare a JSON backup containing local drafts, edits, and challenge results. These exports are generated on the device and may include verse text, edited stress marks, meter labels, foot boundaries, and substitution notes.

A temporary export file enters Apple’s system share interface only after you choose the corresponding export or Share control. Pocket Prosody does not choose a recipient, automatically upload the information, or send a copy to Ekky Ekky LLC.

Any app, service, or person you select handles the shared information under its own terms and privacy practices. Opening a product, support, privacy, or acknowledgements link also leaves Pocket Prosody for the browser you select.

Permissions and protected resources

Pocket Prosody does not request access to the microphone, speech recognition, camera, photo library, contacts, calendars, location, motion, Bluetooth, local network, notifications, or a tracking identifier. Audio playback uses output only.

Analytics, advertising, and third parties

Pocket Prosody includes no advertising, analytics, attribution, behavioral tracking, crash-reporting, login, payment, cloud-storage, or other executable third-party SDK.

Pocket Prosody includes the Carnegie Mellon University Pronouncing Dictionary as on-device pronunciation and lexical-stress data. It does not connect to Carnegie Mellon University or send any app or user information there. Credit and license details appear on the Pocket Prosody acknowledgements page .

App Store transactions

Pocket Prosody is purchased through Apple’s App Store. Apple processes the download, payment, refund, and related transaction information under Apple’s own terms and privacy practices. Pocket Prosody and Ekky Ekky LLC do not receive your payment credentials. The app has no subscription or in-app purchase.

Retention, deletion, and backups

Local drafts and their manual edits remain until you delete the draft or remove the app. Challenge attempts remain until you choose Clear challenge history in Meter Guide or remove the app. Deleting the app removes its locally stored data from the device, subject to backup and restore behavior independently managed by Apple.

Apple-managed device backups may include sandbox data depending on your device and backup settings. Ekky Ekky LLC cannot access those backups. Pocket Prosody does not provide its own cloud sync or restore service. Version 1.0 can export a readable JSON backup through the system share interface but cannot import that backup into the app.

Your choices and requests

Because Ekky Ekky LLC does not receive your app-local drafts, edits, or challenge history, it cannot view, correct, export, or delete that information for you. Use the app’s draft deletion and history-reset controls, prepare a local JSON copy if wanted, or remove the app to manage app-local information.

You can choose whether to share anything and which recipient to use. There is no advertising sale, tracking opt-out, or app-account deletion process because the app has no advertising, tracking, or accounts.

Security and international processing

App-local information is protected by Apple’s app sandbox and the security controls of your device. No storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so protect your device and any exported copy appropriately.

Pocket Prosody does not transmit app-local information to Ekky Ekky LLC for processing in another country. If you contact support or share an export with an external service, the providers and recipient you choose may process that information in other locations under their own terms.

Children’s privacy

Pocket Prosody is a general-purpose writing and education tool. Because the app does not collect personal information, it does not knowingly collect personal information from children or anyone else.

Data collection

Your Pace does not collect, sell, or share personal app content. It does not transmit check-ins, thoughts, routines, tasks, or preferences. It includes no advertising, analytics, tracking, social, or generative-AI services.

On your device

Capacity choices, routine checkmarks, removed suggestions, custom routine steps, active and completed focus tasks, saved and custom thoughts, downloaded sound packs, and preferences are stored in app-private storage. An optional Reset ending alarm is scheduled through the device's alarm or notification system; its content is not sent to the developer.

Optional downloads and permissions

On iOS 26 or later, you can request a longer music or nature pack delivered through Apple-Hosted Background Assets. Apple may process ordinary technical information needed to deliver that file under its own privacy terms; Ekky Ekky LLC does not receive that information. Once downloaded, audio plays locally. Longer downloads are unavailable on iOS 17 through iOS 25, while starter audio remains available offline. Ending alarms may request system alarm or notification authorization. Sound, downloads, and alarms are optional.

Backups and deletion

There is no Your Pace account or app-operated cloud sync. iCloud or computer backups may contain app data according to your device settings. You can remove local data or sound packs in Settings, or remove the app. Backups are controlled by Apple or the computer owner, not Ekky Ekky LLC.

Purchases

Apple handles the paid download and any billing or refund request. Ekky Ekky LLC does not receive your payment-card details through the app.

Children

Your Pace does not knowingly collect personal app data from anyone, including children.

Local app data

Finished pictures stay in a local notebook, and Journey, coloring-book, and Free Draw unfinished drawings recover independently after an interruption. Sand Draw also stores color and tool choices, feedback settings, progress, earned Mystic Sand balances, page ownership, purchase preferences, purchase records needed to deliver Mystic Sand and avoid duplicate processing, and saved artwork on the device. Ekky Ekky LLC does not receive this local gameplay data through an account or its own analytics service.

To space out store-rating requests, Sand Draw records its first opening, whether it has been opened at least twice, and the date and app version of its last request. These records stay on the device and may be included in device backups. Apple or Google decides whether to show a rating prompt. Sand Draw does not learn whether you rated it or what you wrote. Ratings and reviews you submit go to the store, and published reviews are public.

Photos and sharing

On iPhone and iPad, Save to Photos asks for permission to add that picture to the photo library. On Android, Sand Draw saves the chosen picture to Pictures/Sand Draw using the system media service, without requesting access to your existing photos. Share opens the platform's share sheet so you can select the destination. Android grants the selected receiving app temporary access to the exported picture; old temporary share files are cleaned up after seven days when another picture is shared. Files sent to another app or service are handled by that destination.

Purchases

On iPhone and iPad, optional purchases use Apple StoreKit. Apple handles payment information. Sand Draw keeps the transaction information needed to grant Mystic Sand and avoid processing the same transaction twice. Mystic Sand packs are consumable and do not remove ads. The separate Remove Ads purchase is the only purchase that removes ads and remains restorable through Apple. Family Sharing is disabled for Sand Draw's in-app purchases. Apple's handling is described in the Apple Privacy Policy.

Android purchases, when available, use Google Play Billing. Google handles payment details; Sand Draw receives purchase information such as the product, transaction identifier, purchase token, and purchase status to verify and deliver the purchase. Purchase and entitlement records are stored on the device to prevent duplicate delivery. Restore Purchases can restore an owned Remove Ads purchase through the same Google Play account; it cannot recover consumed Mystic Sand or local artwork after app data is deleted. Purchases and progress do not transfer between Apple and Google Play. Google's handling is described in the Google Privacy Policy.

Google advertising components

For players who are not ad-free, Google Mobile Ads can request a non-personalized interstitial after leaving the completion screen for the first completion of Level 6 and every second journey level after it. Re-coloring a completed level does not count. Google User Messaging Platform handles any required consent flow before the first request. Ads are non-personalized, and Sand Draw does not build its own cross-app advertising profile. When Google requires privacy options to remain available, Settings includes a Privacy Choices control.

Google Mobile Ads and its consent service can process a device or account identifier, IP address and estimated general location, advertising data, product interaction, crash data, performance data, and other diagnostic data for advertising, consent, analytics, fraud prevention, and reliability. On Android, these can include the advertising ID and app set ID. Non-personalized ads do not mean that no information is collected or shared with Google. Learn more in the Google Privacy Policy.

Google's consent service checks which privacy choices are required when you open the app, including after you purchase Remove Ads. Remove Ads stops in-app ads; it does not disable these consent checks.

Intended audience

Sand Draw's Android edition is intended for adults. The iPhone and iPad edition is intended for a general audience, not specifically for children. The app does not ask for a name, email address, date of birth, account, or profile. Advertising is non-personalized and limited to Google's general content rating; Sand Draw does not make an age-based profile of the user.

Retention and deletion

Individual notebook pictures can be deleted in the app. An unfinished drawing is replaced or cleared as you continue, complete, or deliberately replace work in that creative area. Sand Draw does not currently provide one control that deletes every local setting, progress record, purchase record, and drawing at once. Removing the app deletes its local data from that device; clearing Android app storage also removes its local data. Apple device or computer backups may retain app data according to the device owner's settings. Starting with version 1.0.13 on Android, enabled Google device backup can include the Mystic Sand balance, page ownership, Journey progress, settings, the list of saved pictures, purchase records, and welcome and rating-request records. Picture files and unfinished drawings are excluded from cloud backup. Android device-to-device transfer may also copy those files, subject to system limits and device support. Earlier Android releases and private previews do not back up or transfer app data. Reinstalling from cloud backup will not recover pictures; export any you want to keep. Google handles backups under the device owner’s settings; Ekky Ekky LLC does not receive them. Exported pictures remain with the destination selected by the user. There is no developer-run account, cloud-sync service, or artwork backup service.

Your choices and privacy requests

You control iOS Photos permission in system Settings, user-directed sharing through the platform's share sheet, and any Privacy Choices control that Google requires Sand Draw to display. Because local artwork and progress are not sent to Ekky Ekky LLC, the studio cannot view, export, correct, or delete those records for you. For information contained in a support message, contact the studio to request access, correction, or deletion where applicable.

Android also provides advertising-ID controls in system Settings. Google's services manage their own retention and privacy requests under Google's policy. Deleting local Sand Draw data does not automatically delete information held by Apple, Google, or a destination you shared a picture with.

Security and international processing

Sand Draw uses app-private on-device storage for local work and relies on Apple's and Google's protected connections for their services. No storage or transmission method can guarantee absolute security. Apple and Google may process service data in countries other than your own under their policies and applicable safeguards.

On your device

• Your progress stays on your device. Online services have their own data practices.

Your privacy

Lazy Space Shooter has no developer account or required login. Gameplay, equipment, settings, device scores, and ad timing stay on the device. Optional global rankings use Apple Game Center on iPhone and Google Play Games on Android. Google Mobile Ads and its consent service use networking for non-personalized ads, measurement, diagnostics, and fraud prevention. Ads remain off unless the consent status permits requests.

The game does not enable personalized ads. The iPhone edition does not request App Tracking Transparency permission. Non-personalized ads can still involve identifiers, approximate location, and service data, as described below.

Information processed by advertising services

Depending on device, region, consent, and ad availability, Google may collect and share IP addresses, approximate location inferred from IP addresses, device or account identifiers, advertising information, app interactions, and diagnostic or performance information. These support advertising, measurement, fraud prevention, and service reliability. Android identifiers may include the advertising ID and app set ID. Provider identifiers can associate information with a device or account. Google states that Mobile Ads SDK data is encrypted in transit.

Information stored on the device

The game stores the current run checkpoint, ship status, upgrades, boss coins, equipment, scores, settings, tutorial progress, and ad timing locally. It also checks store ownership and may retain a purchase record so Remove Ads remains active after purchase or restoration. Local gameplay information continues the game and remembers choices; it is not uploaded to an Ekky Ekky LLC gameplay server.

Advertising and diagnostics

A non-personalized interstitial may appear after defeat when the equipment shop closes, once 15 minutes have passed since launch and the previous ad, or after every third defeat. Showing an ad restarts both counts. Google may process ad interactions and diagnostics to deliver, measure, secure, and improve its service. Ekky Ekky LLC may receive aggregated advertising and performance reports. The app has no separate developer analytics or crash-reporting service.

Permissions and protected resources

The game does not request access to precise location, contacts, calendars, camera, photos, microphone, Bluetooth, or notifications. Music, sound, and haptics use system playback and feedback without recording input. Android uses internet, network-status, and vibration permissions. Google advertising services may use the Android advertising identifier, subject to device and consent controls.

Accounts and authentication

There is no Ekky Ekky LLC account. Optional global all-time and weekly rankings use Apple Game Center on iPhone or Google Play Games on Android. The platform processes the player identity and submitted score. Google Play Games may process a gamer name, avatar, game scores, service analytics, and diagnostics. Profile visibility is controlled through the platform. Core gameplay and device scores remain available without signing in. The game does not request a friends list or use cloud game saves, and the Apple and Google leaderboards are separate.

Third parties and network services

The app uses Google Mobile Ads and Google User Messaging Platform. Android also uses Google Play Games and Google Play Billing. These services operate under Google's privacy policy. Apple provides Game Center, App Store distribution, and StoreKit purchasing on iPhone under Apple's privacy policy. The app has no developer-operated gameplay server, cloud database, social service, or account system. Opening Support or Privacy uses a browser, whose practices then apply.

Sharing and sale

Ekky Ekky LLC does not sell app-local gameplay information. The app sends advertising-service data to Google as described above; under some laws, advertising-related disclosure can be treated as sharing or targeted-advertising activity even when personalized ads and ATT-protected tracking are disabled. The app has no user-directed gameplay export or sharing workflow.

Retention, deletion, backups, and sync

Reset Game clears local gameplay, equipment, coins, device scores, and tutorial progress. Preferences, consent choices, ad timing, and store ownership may remain. Reset does not cancel Remove Ads or delete previously submitted platform leaderboard scores. Removing the app removes its local files. Apple-managed backups may include iPhone app data according to device settings; Android cloud backup is disabled for this app. There is no developer cloud sync, cross-device gameplay transfer, or export service.

Apple, Google, and email providers retain information under their own policies. Players can manage or delete Google Play Games data through their Play Games profile. Ekky Ekky LLC cannot directly erase provider records or device backups.

Downloads and purchases

The game is free to download, with no subscription. The optional one-time Remove Ads purchase has a USD 4.99 base price, with the applicable local price displayed by the store. Apple processes purchases on iPhone; Google Play processes purchases on Android. The store handles payment, transaction history, restoration, and refunds. The app receives product, transaction, and ownership information needed to complete purchases and suppress ads. Ekky Ekky LLC does not receive payment-card details. Purchases do not transfer between Apple and Google Play.

Your choices

Where required, Settings shows Privacy Choices and can reopen Google's consent form. Refusing consent or encountering an unavailable ad never blocks the next run. Remove Ads stops future interstitials; it does not delete information a provider already holds. Android advertising-ID controls are available in device settings. Use Reset Game to clear gameplay records and the platform's own controls for leaderboard data. See the privacy choices guide.

Children

Lazy Space Shooter is a general-audience arcade game and is not designed for children under 13. It does not ask for a birth date or create a child profile. A parent or guardian should use device, store, consent, and purchase controls appropriate for the player. Store age ratings also reflect stylized spaceship weapon fire and fantasy ship destruction.

Security

Local information is protected by the iPhone or Android app sandbox and operating-system protections. Keep the operating system current and use a device passcode. Google states that its advertising and Play Games service traffic is encrypted in transit. No security measure is perfect.

International processing

Google, Apple, hosting providers, and email providers may process information in countries where they or their service providers operate, subject to their policies and applicable safeguards. App-local gameplay information is not sent to an Ekky Ekky LLC gameplay server.
