Beadtime Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 12, 2026 · Developer: vvwork
In short: Beadtime needs no account and does not collect your name, phone number, photos or location. Your progress is stored on your device and in your own iCloud. To keep the game free we show ads, and ad partners may use your device's advertising identifier. You can remove ads at any time with a one-time purchase.
1. What we collect
- Game progress and settings: level progress, your gallery, and settings such as sound. These are stored on your device and synced to your own iCloud account through Apple's iCloud key-value storage. We cannot access your iCloud content.
- Anonymous usage statistics: for example which level you started or finished, how many hints you used, and whether an ad was shown. We use this to tune difficulty and improve the game. It does not include information that identifies you. We use Google Firebase Analytics.
- Advertising: ads are served through AppLovin MAX and its partner ad networks. They may collect your advertising identifier (IDFA, only if you allow it in the system prompt), device model, OS version and approximate region (inferred from IP address) to serve and measure ads. Their own privacy policies apply.
- Purchases: "Remove Ads" is paid through the Apple App Store. We only receive whether the purchase succeeded; we never see your payment details.
2. What we don't collect
- No account, name, email, phone number or contacts.
- We never read your photo library. "Save artwork" only adds an image to Photos when you tap it, and only after you allow it in the system prompt.
- No precise location.
3. Children
Beadtime is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have, please contact us and we will delete it.
4. Your choices
- You can turn off ad tracking at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- You can remove ads with a one-time purchase, or restore a previous purchase, from the in-game Settings.
- Deleting the app removes its data from your device. Progress in iCloud can be deleted in iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Storage.
5. Changes
If this policy changes in a significant way, we will update the effective date on this page and let you know in the app.
