Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-25

What this app collects

Sketchbook Runner is a single-player game. We do not require an account, do not link any data to your real identity, and do not collect personal information that you have not chosen to provide.

Data stored locally on your device

The app saves a small progress file inside its own sandboxed storage. That file contains:

• Best times and stars earned per level
• Pencils currency, purchased cosmetics, equipped cosmetics
• Daily-reward streak count and last claim date
• Tutorial-seen flag and your most recently played level
• Audio and haptic settings

The save file lives only on your device. It is deleted automatically when you uninstall the app. We never transmit it to a server.

Data shared with Google AdMob

The app may show ads served by Google's AdMob platform to support free development. When you watch a rewarded ad, an interstitial ad, or otherwise interact with an ad, AdMob may collect:

• Your device's advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, GAID on Android)
• Approximate location (country / region only, derived from your IP)
• General device information (model, OS version, language)
• Crash data and ad-interaction events

We have configured AdMob to serve non-personalized ads only. We do not display the App Tracking Transparency prompt on iOS. AdMob still uses your advertising identifier in a privacy-preserving way (Apple's SKAdNetwork on iOS 14.5+) for ad attribution, but the served ads are based on context rather than your browsing history or profile.

Google's full data-handling practices are documented in their AdMob privacy policy.

Data collected for crash reporting (if enabled)

If you crash the app, anonymous diagnostic information may be sent to help us fix the bug:

• Stack trace and the build version
• Device model and OS version
• Approximate elapsed play time at the moment of the crash

This data contains no personal identifiers and is used solely to debug the app.

Data collected for analytics (if enabled)

Anonymous, aggregated events about what's happening in the app — levels started/completed/failed, cosmetics purchased, daily rewards claimed. We use this to balance the difficulty curve and decide what content to build next. We do not link these events to you personally.

What this app does NOT collect

• We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any contact info.
• We do not access your camera, microphone, photos, or location (other than the country-level signal AdMob uses for ad delivery).
• We do not sell any data to third parties.
• We do not allow in-app purchases — there is no payment information to collect.

Children's privacy

This app is rated 9+ on the App Store. The non-personalized ad configuration is intentionally chosen to be compatible with audiences that include older children. However:

• We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children.
• We do not direct the app to children under 13 in a way that would trigger COPPA disclosures.
• Parents who believe their child has provided personal information should contact us (see below) and we will delete the relevant data.

Your choices

• Reset advertising identifier: iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. Android Settings → Privacy → Ads.
• Limit ad tracking: the same settings have a "Limit Ad Tracking" toggle.
• Stop using the app: uninstall and all local save data is removed from your device.

Changes

If we update this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top. Significant changes will be called out in app or via the App Store listing.
