Your privacy, at a glance
Pocopie games and apps covered by this policy let you play offline without creating an account. Progress, settings, and any custom content are stored on your device. Where an App lets you choose photos, they are processed locally; we do not upload them. Apps with online advertising use Google AdMob, which may collect device and advertising data. If you email us, we receive your address and message so we can respond.
Some packaged artwork and other assets may have been made with generative AI during development. Our Apps do not send your photos or gameplay to an AI service. Features vary by App; the sections below explain which practices apply.
1. Introduction
This policy explains how information is handled in Android games and apps published by Pocopie (“we”, “us”, or “our”) that link to this policy from the App or its store listing. We refer to each as an “App” and collectively as “our Apps”.
Features differ between Apps. Sections about advertising, selected photos, or custom content apply only where the App includes those features. If an App has different data practices, we describe them in an app-specific notice or a separate privacy policy linked from that App or its store listing.
The Apps covered here provide offline gameplay without user accounts or in-app purchases. Advertising, opening website links, and sending email require a connection. We do not operate a server that receives your saved gameplay, settings, or selected photos, and we do not provide a cloud-save service.
Google Play, advertisers, websites opened from an App, and your device’s backup services have their own policies. Reading this policy, using an App, or closing a privacy notice does not grant consent to personalized advertising.
2. Information stored on your device
Depending on its features, an App saves progress, scores, achievements, virtual currency, sound, music, haptic preferences, and advertising reward or frequency counters locally. Apps that support custom content also save its configuration and completion status on your device. These saved records are not sent to us.
Information you send us
If you choose to contact us, we receive your email address and the information you include. We use correspondence to answer your enquiry, handle privacy requests, and keep any records needed for those purposes. We do not add you to a marketing mailing list.
Advertising providers may collect information separately, as described in Section 4.
3. Photos and custom content
This section applies to Apps that let you choose photos to create custom content, such as a custom puzzle. Using this feature is optional. Selecting a photo opens your device’s image picker. Depending on your Android version and device, the system may ask you to allow access to selected photos or media. You can decline and continue using the App’s built-in content.
Your selected photos are processed on your device. An App may decode and resize the image and save a copy in its private local storage for the custom content you create. We do not upload that image, share it with AdMob, or send it to an AI service. These photo features do not request camera, microphone, contacts, or precise GPS access.
Where an App provides a delete control for custom content, deleting an item removes its saved image copy and associated record. This does not delete the original photo from your device gallery. You can also remove locally saved content by clearing the App’s data; see Section 12 for backup and restore considerations.
You can manage photo or media access through Android’s app permission settings. Labels and available controls vary by device.
4. Advertising data collected automatically
In Apps with advertising, when online ads are requested or displayed, Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) may collect and transmit the following information:
- IP address and approximate location
- Your IP address and an approximate location inferred from that address, rather than precise GPS access for this purpose.
- Device or account identifiers
- Identifiers such as the Android Advertising ID and, where applicable, other device or account identifiers.
- Ad and app interactions
- Information such as app launches, ad impressions, taps, clicks, and video views.
- Diagnostics and performance
- Device characteristics and information about app or SDK performance, such as crashes, launch times, or other SDK diagnostics.
Google uses this information to deliver and measure ads, prevent fraud, improve its services, and, where permitted by your choices and applicable rules, personalize advertising. This data flows to Google and its advertising partners. AdMob reporting available to us is generally aggregated, such as impressions and estimated revenue; it is not a database of individual players that we can search or delete.
5. Third-party services
Apps with advertising use Google AdMob and Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) for ads and privacy messages. Ad formats vary by App and may include optional rewarded videos and interstitial ads. Apps with photo features use a local image picker to select images.
Our games are built with Unity. We do not separately integrate a gameplay analytics or crash reporting service in the Apps covered by this policy. This does not prevent AdMob from collecting the diagnostics described in Section 4.
Google’s processing and advertising partners are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. You can read more here:

- How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services
- AdMob advertising partners
This policy website
This policy website is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub may process technical information about visits, such as IP addresses, under its Privacy Statement. We do not add advertising, analytics scripts, or tracking cookies to this page.
6. Generative AI and app content
Some artwork, icons, backgrounds, audio, or text may have been created or refined with generative AI tools during development. These are packaged assets included with an App.
The Apps covered by this policy contain no chat or image-generation service and do not run a generative AI model. Your selected photos and actions in an App are not sent to an AI provider by the App or used by us to train an AI model.
7. How information is used
- Local app features. Saved data lets you resume progress, remember preferences, use custom content, and manage virtual currency and advertising rewards where those features exist.
- Advertising. Advertising providers use the data they collect for ad delivery, measurement, personalization where permitted, security, and fraud prevention.
- Support. Email correspondence is used to respond to you and handle your requests.
We do not sell player data for money or build our own advertising profiles. See Section 11 for how personalized advertising may be treated as sharing under California law.
8. Consent and your advertising choices
Where required, Google’s UMP presents a privacy message in Apps with advertising. Ad requests are gated by the SDK’s consent checks. Your choices and regional requirements determine whether ads can be requested and what advertising processing is permitted. Declining consent does not prevent offline gameplay. It does not necessarily mean that every kind of ad can be displayed without consent.
Review or change your choices
When Google requires a privacy-options entry point, the App provides Privacy choices or a similarly named option in its settings or privacy screen. Use it to review or change the choices supported by Google’s form. Android Advertising ID controls are separate from withdrawing consent in the App’s consent form. This website cannot change the consent choices saved in an installed App.
Device and Google advertising controls
You can also use Android Settings → Google → Ads (the path varies by device) to manage or delete the advertising ID where supported, and use Google’s advertising preference controls. These controls may limit personalization; they do not guarantee that all advertising data collection stops. Offline play avoids new online ad requests.
9. Children’s privacy
Our Apps are intended for a general audience and do not ask players for a date of birth or create child accounts. We do not knowingly request personal details from children. Children should use our Apps with a parent or guardian’s guidance. Do not include a child’s personal details in a support email unless needed to handle your enquiry.
If you believe a child’s data has been collected through advertising, contact us and include the App’s name. We can explain the App’s practices and help direct requests to Google; we cannot search or erase Google’s records ourselves. Age and parental-consent requirements depend on location and the service involved.
10. EEA, UK, and Swiss privacy rights
Where applicable, data protection law gives people in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland rights to access, correct, or erase personal data; restrict processing; receive portable data; object to certain processing; withdraw consent; and complain to a supervisory authority. These rights are subject to the conditions and exceptions in applicable law.
Advertising processing may rely on consent where required or other lawful grounds described by the relevant provider. Google determines the grounds for its own processing. Contact us about information we receive through correspondence, or Google about advertising data it holds. We will respond to requests within the applicable legal timeframe and explain any limitations. Withdrawing consent does not undo processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
11. California privacy rights
Where the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA) apply, California residents may have rights to know or access, delete, or correct personal information; opt out of sale or sharing; and receive non-discriminatory treatment for exercising those rights. Personalized advertising may qualify as sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising even when data is not sold for money.
Use Privacy choices in the App when available and Google’s privacy controls to manage applicable advertising preferences, as described in Section 8. Contact us for help or requests about our correspondence. We cannot identify individual advertising records in Google’s systems; Google may require its own verification process. Exercising privacy choices does not remove offline gameplay functionality.
12. Retention and deletion
Progress and settings remain in an App’s local storage until cleared or removed. Where an App saves custom content or image copies, these remain until you delete the relevant items using an available in-app control, clear the App’s data, or uninstall it. Deleting a saved copy does not delete your original photo.
Clearing app data or uninstalling on Android normally removes the App’s local files. Device backup or restore services may preserve or restore some data according to your operating system settings and their policies. We do not operate a cloud-save service.
Google controls retention of advertising data under its own policies. We do not control its retention periods. Support correspondence is retained only as needed to handle your enquiry and any applicable record-keeping obligations.
13. Security
Saved game records and any custom image copies are stored in the App’s local storage. Android’s device security and your access and backup settings affect that protection. Advertising providers are responsible for their systems and transmission safeguards. No storage or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.
14. International processing
Google and its advertising partners may process data outside your country, where laws may differ. Their policies explain the safeguards used for international transfers. We do not upload your saved gameplay or selected photos to a server we operate. Email providers may process support correspondence in other countries under their own policies.
15. Changes to this policy
We may revise this policy when our Apps, their services, or relevant requirements change. We update the dates above and publish revised text at https://pocopie.github.io/. Where an App includes an offline copy, we update that bundled version in an app release. The offline copy reflects the date shown on it; this website may contain a newer revision.
Significant changes may also be highlighted in the affected App or its store listing. A feature described here applies only to Apps that include it; a change to one App does not mean every App uses that feature or collects the same data.
