Pipe Dash Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
Welcome to Pipe Dash. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your data. This Privacy Policy outlines how information is collected, used, and safeguarded when using the mobile application. By accessing and using Pipe Dash, you consent to the collection and use of data as described herein.
2. Information Collection
Pipe Dash does not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or social media logins. The game only stores minimal data locally on the user's device.
The types of data stored or processed include:
- Game Progress & Preferences: Local storage of user preferences and game progress to enhance the gameplay experience.
- In-App Purchases: If you purchase the "Remove Ads" option, the transaction is processed by the platform store (Google Play / Apple App Store). Pipe Dash does not collect or store payment details. Purchase status is stored locally on your device to unlock the ad-free experience.
- Advertisements: If you have not purchased the "Remove Ads" option, ads are served through our mediation platform and its partner ad networks. These services may collect device identifiers, IP addresses, and ad interaction data to display relevant advertisements.
3. In-App Purchases
Pipe Dash offers a one-time purchase to permanently remove all advertisements ("Remove Ads"). This is a non-consumable in-app purchase processed entirely by the platform store (Google Play Store or Apple App Store) under their respective terms and privacy policies. Pipe Dash does not have access to your payment information. Upon successful purchase, your device stores the entitlement locally.
4. Data Usage
The data collected is used solely for:
- Storing game progress and settings on your device.
- Processing and validating in-app purchase entitlements via the platform store.
- Displaying advertisements (only for users who have not purchased "Remove Ads"), tailored to user engagement via our ad mediation platform and its partner networks.
Pipe Dash does not share, sell, or rent user data to third parties beyond what is necessary to serve advertisements through the third-party services described below.
5. Third-Party Advertising
Pipe Dash uses Unity LevelPlay as its ad mediation platform. LevelPlay manages the selection and delivery of ads from multiple third-party ad networks to optimize ad performance. LevelPlay and its partner networks may collect device identifiers and usage data for the purpose of serving and measuring ads.
For details on IronSource LevelPlay's data practices and a full list of their advertising partners, please refer to the Unity Privacy Policy.
Users who have purchased "Remove Ads" will not be served ads, and ad network data collection will not apply to them.
6. Data Security
All game-related data is stored locally on the user's device. Since no personal data is collected by Pipe Dash directly, there is no external storage or sharing of user information by the app itself. Ad-related data handled by third-party networks is subject to their own security practices.
7. Children's Privacy
Pipe Dash does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. The game is family-friendly, but parents and guardians are encouraged to review the app's content and the privacy practices of integrated ad services for suitability.
8. Your Choices
- Opt out of personalized ads: You may opt out of interest-based advertising via your device settings ("Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS or "Opt out of Ads Personalization" on Android).
- Remove Ads purchase: Purchasing the "Remove Ads" in-app purchase will disable all advertisement serving and associated third-party data collection within the app.
9. Policy Updates
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices or the addition of new features and services. Changes will be posted within the application and become effective upon publication. Users are encouraged to review this policy regularly.
