The short version
- We never sell or share your data, and there's no advertising or tracking of any kind.
- Your progress and settings stay on your device.
- If you play the Daily Challenge, your ranking name and result are sent to our server so they can appear on that day's ranking — along with a random player ID, nothing more.
On your device
Your level progress, scores and settings (sound, music, haptics, controls) are stored only on your device. We have no copy of them.
Daily Challenge ranking
When you finish your first attempt of a Daily Challenge, the game sends our server:
- a random player ID created on your device (it is not linked to your Apple Account, your real name or your device);
- the name you chose for the ranking, or your Game Center nickname if you're signed in to Game Center;
- your result: score, time, Pickles saved and whether you finished the level.
This name and result are shown publicly on that day's ranking. Names are filtered for rude words. We don't store your IP address or any other information with your result.
Downloading levels
To get the Daily Challenge and new Infinite levels, the game asks our server for the level and its texts in your language. These requests contain no personal information.
Game Center
If you're signed in to Game Center, leaderboards and achievements are handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy. We don't receive your Apple Account information.
Purchases
Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details; Apple only tells the app whether the full game was purchased.
Permissions
The game does not access your contacts, photos, location, microphone or camera.
Children
Pickles! is suitable for all ages. We don't ask for anyone's real name, email or age, and the game has no chat or ads. Kids can simply keep the fun name the game suggests for the ranking.
Service providers
There are no advertising or analytics tools in the game. Our server runs on Cloudflare, which hosts the ranking and levels on our behalf. To generate and translate the Daily Challenge and Infinite levels we use an AI service, which receives only game design instructions — never anything about you.
Your choices
You can play everything except the Daily Challenge rankings without sending anything to us. To have your ranking entries removed, write to us with the name you used and the days you played and we'll delete them.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
