Privacy Policy — Sparrows on Clotheslines

Effective date: 4 July 2026

This policy explains what data the mobile game Sparrows on Clotheslines ("the App") collects and how it is used. The App collects no names, emails, accounts, contacts, photos, or precise location.

What the App collects

• A random device identifier. Generated on first launch and stored on the device. It is not your Apple ID, phone number, or any personal account. It is used only to keep your leaderboard entry consistent and to assign you to a stable group for ad-configuration experiments (A/B rollout).
• Gameplay events. The App sends best-effort, anonymous events to our own server — e.g. a run's score and that a run ended — with the random device ID above, to operate the leaderboard and tune the game. No personal data is attached.

We do not collect your name, email, location, contacts, photos, microphone, or camera. The App works even if these network calls fail; they are never required.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The App shows ads through Google AdMob. On iOS, the App presents Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt asking your permission to track. If you allow tracking, Google may use your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) to show and measure more relevant, personalized ads and may combine this with information from other apps and websites. If you decline (or where the prompt does not appear), ads are non-personalized. Either way, to serve and measure ads Google may process device identifiers and usage/diagnostic data. Google's handling of ad data is governed by its own policies:

• Google Privacy Policy
• How Google uses information from apps that use its services

Purchases

The App offers a one-time "Remove Ads" purchase processed by Apple. Payment is handled entirely by Apple; we never see your card or Apple account details.

Children

The App is suitable for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Data retention & your choices

Anonymous leaderboard scores and gameplay events are retained to operate the service and may be removed on request. Data is tied only to a random device ID; reinstalling the App generates a new ID. "Remove Ads" disables advertising in the App.

Changes

We may update this policy; the date above reflects the latest version.
