Color Connect: Cozy Yarn
This Privacy Policy explains how the iOS game Color Connect: Cozy Yarn handles information. For privacy-related questions, contact k__larsson@hotmail.com.
1. Game data stored on your device
The game stores your unlocked levels, puzzle progress, drawn yarn paths, daily challenge history and streaks, onboarding status, sound and haptic preferences, and earned in-game hint credits locally on your iPhone using Apple's app storage mechanisms. This is used to resume your game and remember your preferences. The game does not require an account or upload this game progress to a developer-operated server.
2. Advertising and third parties
The game includes Google AdMob for banner ads, optional rewarded ads used to receive hints, and occasional interstitial ads. The Google Mobile Ads and User Messaging Platform SDKs may process information for providing ads, measuring ad performance, detecting fraud and abuse, and managing consent. Depending on your region, choices, and the SDK configuration, that information may include IP address, approximate location inferred from IP, device or advertising identifiers, ad interactions, diagnostic information, and consent preferences.
The game asks for permission using Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt. Personalized advertising is permitted only when you authorize tracking on iOS and applicable ad consent choices allow it. If you decline or restrict tracking, the game requests non-personalized ads, subject to regional consent and Google's eligible ad serving modes. Personalized ads may use activity across apps and websites to show more relevant ads and measure advertising. Non-personalized ads may still use contextual signals (such as approximate location based on IP), local storage or device identifiers for frequency capping, fraud prevention and aggregate measurement where permitted. Your choice does not affect gameplay.
Google and its advertising partners handle their own data processing under their applicable policies. See Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses information for ads.
3. Consent and your options
Where required, the game displays a privacy consent message through Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP). Ads are requested only when UMP reports that requests are permitted. You can revisit available regional consent choices from Privacy → Manage ad privacy choices in the game. Apple tracking permission is controlled separately in iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. Rejecting either permission does not prevent access to the game. Apple's ATT permission does not replace GDPR or other regional consent requirements.
4. Retention and deletion
Locally stored puzzle progress and settings remain on your device until you remove them by deleting the app or resetting the device. If you use iCloud device backups, copies may be retained according to your Apple backup settings. Data processed by Google or its partners is subject to their respective retention and deletion policies. You can contact us using the address above for questions concerning this app or a privacy request.
5. Children
The game does not include account registration or player-to-player messaging. Parents or guardians with questions about the handling of data in this game can contact us at the support address above. Advertising is subject to applicable age- and region-specific requirements.
6. Security and changes
The game uses Apple's standard app storage and does not run a separate game-account server. We may update this policy when features, advertising practices, or legal requirements change. The date above shows the latest revision.
