Gem Sweeper Privacy Policy

Game progress

Gem Sweeper saves settings, unfinished Endless boards, puzzle records, earned gems, levels, ranks and ad reward limits on your device. Connected platform services can back up records through Google Play Games Saved Games on Android or iCloud on Apple devices. Game Center and Play Games handle player authentication and rank achievements. Platform services process account identifiers and game progress for these features. No separate Ticer Apps account is required.

The synced records include best times, level stars, drill progress, cumulative gems and reward receipts that prevent duplicate ad rewards. Installation identifiers distinguish devices when merging progress. Age group, settings and unfinished boards remain device-local. There are no public leaderboards or Firebase integration. Cosmetic purchases and Ad-free are separate from earned gems.

Advertising

Google AdMob supplies banners, between-game ads and optional videos that reward gems. Google's User Messaging Platform manages applicable consent and privacy choices. Ads are requested only after the app's age and privacy steps permit them. Test ads can also contact Google.

Advertising services may process IP addresses and approximate location inferred from them; device, app, advertising or account identifiers where permitted; ad views, taps and other app interactions; diagnostics and performance information; and consent records. These support advertising, measurement, analytics and fraud prevention. Gem Sweeper does not request location permission or send its game-save contents or gaming-profile identity to the ad integration.

See Google's Privacy Policy, how Google uses information from apps, and its Android and iOS SDK disclosures. Google's mobile ad SDK encrypts transmitted data. Provider handling depends on consent, permissions, platform and region.

Purchases and RevenueCat

Optional one-time purchases unlock cosmetic styles or Ad-free. Apple or Google handles payment; Ticer Apps does not receive your payment-card details. RevenueCat validates store transactions, maintains purchase entitlements, supports Restore purchases, and provides purchase analytics.

RevenueCat processes store receipts or purchase tokens, product and transaction identifiers, purchase and refund history, an app-specific customer identifier, and technical information such as app/SDK version, platform, locale and currency. We use RevenueCat-generated anonymous customer identifiers rather than sending your email address or gaming-profile identity. Automatic device-identifier collection is disabled in our RevenueCat configuration, and we do not connect purchase history to advertising integrations.

Ad-free removes banners and automatic between-game ads. Reward videos remain optional. Restore purchases uses the relevant Apple or Google store account; cosmetic purchases do not spend earned gems. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

Age and privacy choices

Before app-directed ad SDK initialization, you choose Under 13, 13–17, 18 or older, or Prefer not to say. The choice stays on this device. Under-18 and unspecified groups receive child-restricted, non-personalized requests with under-age consent treatment and no Apple tracking prompt. All groups use Google's general-audience ad-content filter. These choices do not change the puzzles, rewards or saves.

Eligible adults on iPhone/iPad receive Apple's tracking permission question, followed by Google's consent flow when required. An iPhone/iPad app running on a confirmed Mac skips the unsupported tracking prompt and requests non-personalized ads. Declining tracking or receiving restricted ads does not eliminate all provider processing.

Use Settings → Age group to change treatment. Settings → Privacy choices appears when Google's consent service requires it, allowing you to revisit available consent or opt-out decisions. You can also change tracking permission or reset/delete advertising identifiers in your device settings. Optional rewarded videos are never required to play.

Retention, deletion and contact

Game records remain until reset or removed. Settings → Reset records clears progress on this device and records a newer reset for supported cloud syncing; offline devices must reconnect to receive it. Removing the app removes local app data subject to operating-system backup behavior. A game reset does not delete your Apple or Google account, platform achievement history, or the providers' advertising and security records. Reset records does not remove purchase ownership, cancel transactions, or delete store/RevenueCat purchase records. Those records may be retained to restore purchases, prevent fraud, comply with legal obligations, and resolve transactions. Contact us for a purchase-data privacy request; we may need information that locates your purchase without requesting your store password or full payment details.

For access, correction, deletion or other privacy requests, email ticerapps@gmail.com. Support messages are used to answer your request and may be retained for support and legal obligations. Apple and Google provide their own account and data controls; see Apple's Privacy Policy and Google's policy above. Availability of rights varies by region.

We do not sell game saves or support messages. Advertising may constitute sharing or targeted advertising under some privacy laws; use the available privacy controls to express your choices. This page may be updated when the game or its services change.
