This page is used to inform you regarding my policies with the collection, use and disclosure of personal information for our app "Snakespeare". We respect the privacy of our users and we are committed to protect the user's information, be it yours or your children's. We believe that you have a right to know our practices regarding the information we may collect and use when you use our app.
1. Game Center
If you use Game Center, we authenticate your Game Center account and submit your career score to a public leaderboard. We receive your Game Center player identifier and public nickname, and we display other players’ public Game Center nicknames and career scores. We do not collect your email, real name, Profile photo / avatar or Game Center friends list. Game Center is provided by Apple and here is Apple's Privacy Policy.
2. Purchases (RevenueCat + Apple)
Snakespeare offers an optional Pro upgrade. Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store (StoreKit). We use RevenueCat to check whether Pro is active, to show the paywall, and to restore or manage subscriptions. We do not receive your payment card number or Apple ID password.
Data involved typically includes:
An anonymous RevenueCat app user ID for this install
App Store / StoreKit receipts, transaction IDs, product IDs, subscription or lifetime purchase status, and restore events
Device and app information RevenueCat needs to run the SDK (commonly the device’s vendor identifier, app version, OS version, locale, and IP address as seen by their servers)
Payment is handled by Apple under Apple’s Privacy Policy. RevenueCat’s processing is described in RevenueCat’s Privacy Policy.
3. Advertising (Google AdMob)
If you play without Pro, Snakespeare may show a rewarded video ad in exchange for extra hints, extra purges, extra Time Attack time, or a Classic continue. Ads are served by Google AdMob. We do not run our own ad server, and we do not receive your payment card details through ads.
Google’s SDK may collect or process:
Device and app information (device model, operating system, app version, language)
IP address, which may be used to infer a coarse location such as country or region
Ad requests, impressions, clicks, and whether a reward was completed
Identifiers available on the device (for example Apple’s Identifier for Vendor). We do not show an App Tracking Transparency prompt and we do not request the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA)
Apple SKAdNetwork attribution data, shared with Apple and Google for ad conversion measurement
In regions where Google requires it (for example the EEA and UK), the app may show Google’s User Messaging Platform consent form before ads load. If those choices remain available, Settings includes an ads item that reopens Google’s privacy options.
Pro removes these ads.
Google’s use of this data is described in Google’s Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. You can manage Google ad personalisation at Google Ad Settings.
4. Push Notifications and OneSignal
Snakespeare uses OneSignal, Inc. to send, manage, and measure push notifications. When the app launches, the OneSignal SDK initializes and may automatically collect certain device and app-usage information, including session times, session count, time spent in the app, device operating system and model, app version, language, timezone, country, cellular carrier, app bundle identifier, IP address, push-notification permission status, and OneSignal user and subscription identifiers. OneSignal may also process information about notification delivery, opens, clicks, and interactions. Snakespeare uses a notification service extension that reports notification delivery information to OneSignal, including whether a notification was successfully delivered, even if a notification is not opened by the user.
Push notifications are optional. Snakespeare may request permission to send notifications through Apple's notification system. If you allow notifications, Apple Push Notification service (APNs) receives the device push token necessary to deliver notifications to your device. You can deny notification permission or disable notifications at any time through iOS Settings → Notifications → Snakespeare. Disabling notifications stops future push notifications but does not automatically delete device or session information that may already have been collected by OneSignal.
The information processed through OneSignal is used to deliver, personalize where applicable, and measure push notifications and to understand basic notification and app engagement. Snakespeare does not currently send your email address, phone number, external user ID, custom tags, or precise GPS location to OneSignal. If these types of information are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.
Information processed through OneSignal may be transferred to and processed in the United States and other countries. OneSignal's handling of personal information is also subject to its own privacy practices. For more information, please review OneSignal's Privacy Policy. OneSignal states that it does not store IP addresses for users in the European Union and United Kingdom.
The push token is shared with Apple through APNs for the purpose of delivering notifications, while relevant notification and device information is shared with OneSignal for notification delivery, management, personalization, and measurement. Snakespeare does not sell notification-related data.
OneSignal may retain user and device information until it is deleted or the associated OneSignal app is removed, while message history in the OneSignal dashboard may be retained until it is deleted. If you would like to request deletion of your OneSignal-related data, you may contact us using the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy, and we will process the request as applicable.
5. Sharing your results
If you choose to share a result, Snakespeare opens the device’s system share sheet with:
A generated image of the result card (score, flavour text, playfield, and win or loss)
Text that includes your score and a short invitation to play Snakespeare
We may write that image to a temporary file on your device so the share sheet can send it. We do not upload or keep that image or text on our servers.
Where you send it (Messages, Photos, social apps, and so on) is your choice. That destination has its own privacy policy.
6. Diagnostics
Snakespeare does not include its own crash-reporting or analytics SDK. Developer-only logs exist in development builds and are not included in the App Store version.
RevenueCat and Google AdMob may collect diagnostic or operational data as part of running purchases and ads. That is described in their privacy policies linked above.
7. What we don't collect
Snakespeare does not access your Photos library, Camera, Contacts, Health data, microphone recordings, or precise location. We do not collect your name or email, and we do not run our own accounts or servers.
Gameplay data such as scores, progress, and settings is stored on your device, except where the third-party services above are used (Game Center, OneSignal, App Store / RevenueCat, and AdMob).
8. Your choices
You can:
Delete the app to remove local scores, progress, and settings from that device
Turn off or sign out of Game Center in iOS Settings to stop leaderboard submit and display
Manage or cancel Pro in the in-app Customer Center (if you already have Pro) or in iOS Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions
Restore Pro on a new device with Restore Purchases / the paywall, using the same Apple ID
Control Apple’s tracking and personalised ads settings in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security, and Google ad personalization at Google Ad Settings. Snakespeare does not show an App Tracking Transparency prompt
9. Third parties we work with
Apple — Game Center leaderboards, App Store purchases (StoreKit), and SKAdNetwork ad attribution
RevenueCat — checking Pro status, paywall, restore, and subscription management
Google (AdMob) — rewarded ads for players who are not on Pro
OneSignal— used to send push notifications to players, including reminders, daily game updates, and other timely in-app notifications.
Each of those companies processes data under its own privacy policy:

10. Children's privacy
Snakespeare is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, contact us using the details below and we will delete it where we can. Game Center, the App Store, and ads are also subject to Apple’s and Google’s child-related rules.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of Snakespeare after a change means you accept the updated policy.
