Privacy Policy for Pips Tiles

Effective date: 20 May 2026

Developer: Northbound Slate  ·  Contact: northboundslate@northboundslate.anonaddy.com

This Privacy Policy explains how the mobile application Pips Tiles ("the App", "we", "us") handles information when you use it. Pips Tiles is a free, ad-supported puzzle game. We respect your privacy and have tried to keep our data practices minimal and easy to understand.

Information we collect directly

Pips Tiles does not require an account, login, or registration, and we do not ask you for your name, email, or other personal information. Your game data — such as puzzle progress, settings, statistics, and streaks — is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to or collected by us.

Information collected by advertising partners

To keep the App free, we display advertisements using Google AdMob (Google's mobile advertising service). To serve and measure ads, Google and its partners may collect and process certain information through the App, which may include:

This information is used to deliver, personalize (where permitted), and measure advertising, and to detect and prevent fraud. We do not control and are not responsible for the data practices of these third parties. You can learn how Google uses this information here: Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Your consent and choices

Where required by law (for example, for users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland), the App presents a consent message before personalized ads are shown, and you may choose whether to allow personalized advertising. Regardless of location, you can limit ad tracking at any time through your device settings:

Children's privacy

Pips Tiles is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the App, please contact us so we can address it.

Data security and retention

Data transmitted by the App's advertising provider is encrypted in transit using standard industry measures. Game data stored on your device remains there until you clear the App's data or uninstall the App; uninstalling removes the locally stored data.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective date" above. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
