Privacy Policy — Goo Patrol
This policy describes what Goo Patrol stores on your device and what third parties may collect when you play. The game is made for families. It does not require an account and does not use Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt.
If you have feedback, questions, or need support, email sandygames@googlegroups.com.
1. What the app stores on your device
Goo Patrol saves progress only on the device, using Apple’s UserDefaults. That includes star count and upgrade levels, unlocked zones and difficulty, mute setting, and whether you bought Remove Ads.
We do not run our own servers, create player accounts, or use iCloud. Deleting the app deletes this local data (your App Store purchase can still be restored).
2. In-app purchases
Remove Ads is a one-time non-consumable purchase processed by Apple. Apple handles payment, receipts, and restore. We never see your Apple ID password or full card number. Product ID: com.goopatrol.GooPatrol.removeAds.
3. Advertising
Unless you have purchased Remove Ads (or ads are turned off in our build config), Goo Patrol shows a banner ad at the top of the screen using Google AdMob.
Google may collect device and advertising information to serve and measure ads (for example IP address, device type, and advertising identifiers). Ads are requested with child-directed / G-rated settings. We do not ask for tracking permission (App Tracking Transparency).
Google: policies.google.com/privacy. AdMob: support.google.com/admob.
You can remove the banner forever with the in-app Remove Ads purchase.
4. Analytics and tracking
Goo Patrol does not include a separate analytics SDK. We do not sell personal information. NSPrivacyTracking is false. Any advertising-related collection is done by Google AdMob as described above.
5. Children
The fiction and controls are kid-friendly (popping goo, no graphic violence). The App Store listing is Games, not the Kids category, because Apple does not allow third-party ads in Kids apps. Parents can remove ads with Remove Ads.
6. Data sharing
We share data only as needed to run the app: Apple (distribution and in-app purchase) and Google AdMob (banner ads until Remove Ads is purchased). We do not sell your information.
7. Your choices
- Mute in the main menu
- Remove Ads ($0.99) to hide the banner
- Restore Purchases if you reinstall or change devices
- Delete the app to clear local save data
8. Changes
We may update this policy. The effective date at the top will change. Continued use after an update means you accept the new policy.
