1. Overview
Glow Pipes is a puzzle game. The app displays ads and may offer in-app purchases, such as removing ads or unlocking optional features.
This Privacy Policy explains what data may be processed, why it may be processed, and what choices you have.
2. Data we process
We aim to minimize data collection. Glow Pipes does not require you to create an account, and we do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or other direct contact information.
Data may be processed in the following cases:
A) Advertising – Google AdMob
The app uses ads provided through Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads SDK.
The ads SDK may collect and process data such as:
- Device information, such as device model, operating system version, language, and app version
- Advertising-related identifiers, such as the advertising identifier where available and permitted
- IP address, which may be used to estimate general location or region
- Ad interaction data, such as ad views, clicks, impressions, and video views
- App interaction and usage information related to ad performance
- Performance, crash, and diagnostic information
This data may be used to:
- Serve ads
- Measure ad performance
- Prevent fraud and abuse
- Improve ad delivery
- Improve stability and performance
In regions where consent is required, the app may ask for your consent before showing personalized ads.
B) Analytics – Firebase Analytics
The app uses Firebase Analytics / Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the app is used and to improve the game experience.
Analytics data may include:
- App opens and sessions
- Session duration
- Device model and operating system
- App version
- General region or country
- In-app purchase events
- Gameplay-related events, such as level starts, level completions, hints used, and similar app usage events
We use this information to understand app performance, improve gameplay balance, fix issues, and make the app better over time.
We do not use Firebase Analytics to collect your name, email address, or personal messages.
C) In-app purchases
The app may offer in-app purchases, such as removing ads.
Purchases are processed by Apple’s payment system. We do not receive your payment card details.
We may process technical purchase-related information needed to:
- Validate a purchase
- Restore purchases across your devices, where supported
- Enable purchased features in the app
D) Local game data
Glow Pipes may store game data locally on your device, such as:
- Level progress
- Completed levels
- Stars or scores
- Hints
- Game settings
- Sound and haptic preferences
- Daily challenge progress
- Infinite mode progress and best results
This data is normally stored on your device and is used to make the game work properly.
If you delete the app, local data may also be deleted depending on your device and system settings.
E) Game Center
If the app uses Apple Game Center features, such as leaderboards or achievements, related information may be processed by Apple according to Apple’s own privacy practices.
This may include scores, achievements, leaderboard rankings, and your Game Center profile information.
3. Consent and choices
In the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and other regions where required, consent may be requested for personalized ads and certain data processing.
You can manage ad personalization and tracking choices through:
- The consent prompt shown in the app, where available
- Your device privacy settings
- Apple’s App Tracking Transparency settings
- Your advertising identifier settings, where available
You may also be able to limit or reset advertising identifiers through your device settings.
4. Sharing
We do not sell your personal data.
Data may be shared with third-party service providers only where necessary for the app to function, including:
- Google AdMob, for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and ad performance
- Firebase / Google Analytics for Firebase, for analytics and app performance insights
- Apple, for App Store purchases, Game Center, and platform services
These third parties process data according to their own terms and privacy policies.
5. Retention
Advertising and analytics-related data is generally handled and retained by Google and other third-party providers according to their own policies and legal obligations.
Local game data remains on your device until you delete it, reset the app data where available, or uninstall the app.
Purchase records may be retained by Apple as required for payment, tax, refund, and legal purposes.
6. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
- Request access to certain personal data
- Request deletion of certain personal data
- Object to certain processing
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Request correction or limitation of certain processing
For data processed by third-party providers, you may need to contact the relevant provider directly.

7. Children
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe that a child has provided personal data through the app, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
8. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect app-related data. However, no method of storage or transmission is completely secure.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy if the app changes, if we add or remove features, or if our service providers change their privacy practices.
The updated version will be posted with a new “Last updated” date.
