Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 6, 2026

Hidden Tiny Verse ("we", "our", or "the app") is a hidden object puzzle game for iOS developed by Jacob Salazar. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our app.

1. Information We Collect

a) Game Data (Stored Locally)

We store game progress, settings, and purchase state locally on your device using standard iOS storage (UserDefaults). This data never leaves your device and includes:

• Level completion status and star ratings
• Hint count and lives remaining
• Sound, music, and haptic feedback preferences
• In-app purchase state (e.g., ads removed)

b) In-App Purchases

Purchases are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect, store, or have access to your payment information, Apple ID, or billing details. Apple's privacy policy governs all transaction data.

c) Advertising

We use Google AdMob to display ads. AdMob may collect device identifiers and usage data to serve relevant ads. You can opt out of personalized ads through your device's privacy settings (Settings > Privacy > Tracking). You may also purchase the "Remove Ads" in-app purchase to disable all advertising.

Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

d) Level Content

The app downloads level data (images, configurations, and audio) from our servers to provide new content. These downloads do not include any personal information. No account or login is required.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect your name, email, or contact information
• We do not require account creation or login
• We do not collect location data
• We do not access your camera, microphone, or contacts

3. Children's Privacy

Hidden Tiny Verse is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. The app does not require any personal information to play. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

4. Data Security

All game data is stored locally on your device using iOS built-in security features. Level content is downloaded over HTTPS encrypted connections. We do not maintain external databases containing user information.

5. Third-Party Services

The app uses the following third-party services:

• Apple StoreKit — for processing in-app purchases

Each service has its own privacy policy governing data they collect.
