Privacy policy

This policy covers Pancake Squeeze on Apple devices and Android. Contact: emrekcn@gmail.com.

Playing and saving progress

Pancake Squeeze has no sign-up or login. Your coins, outfits, power-up upgrades, headstarts, settings, recent purchase identifiers and today's ad count are stored only on your device. We do not collect your name, email, contacts, photos or precise location, and the game asks for no camera, microphone or location permission.

Leaderboards

The home screen shows daily and all-time leaderboards. To take part, the game signs in anonymously with Google Firebase and sends our Firestore database a random player identifier, your best scores, the time of each update, the outfit you wear and your leaderboard name. Everyone starts with a name generated from friendly words (for example BERRY BISCUIT). You can roll another with the dice or type a nickname of 3 to 14 letters, numbers and spaces; nicknames are checked against a list of offensive words, and please do not use your real name. Other players see your name, outfit and scores. Leaderboard responses also include your random player identifier and update time, although the game does not display the identifier. To limit cheating, the game also records when each run starts. Firebase processes IP addresses and device information to provide these services; see Firebase privacy and security.

Optional purchases

Coin packs are processed by Apple or Google. The game receives product and transaction identifiers from the store and keeps a one-way fingerprint of recent transactions on your device so each purchase is credited only once. We never receive your payment-card details.

Optional advertising

Rewarded ads are optional: you can choose to watch one to double a run's coins, receive free coins or continue a run. The game is intended for players aged 13 and over and is not directed at children. The app requests non-personalised ads rated for general audiences.

Google AdMob may process IP addresses (including approximate location), device or advertising identifiers, ad interactions, diagnostics and performance data to deliver ads, measure them and prevent fraud. Non-personalised ads can still use data for these purposes. Where required, Google's consent form appears before ads are requested, and you can decline. When available, use AD CHOICES on the game's home screen to review or change your advertising consent. Ad services may collect data when an ad is loaded, even if you do not choose to watch it. See Google's privacy policy and how Google uses information from apps.

Analytics

We do not use a separate gameplay analytics service. Google AdMob uses the data described above for advertising measurement and analytics. This website does not load analytics or advertising scripts.

Retention and deletion

Because your progress is stored on your device, you can delete it at any time by clearing the app's data or uninstalling it. Leaderboard entries stay on the boards after you uninstall; email us with your leaderboard name and we will delete them. Apple, Google and AdMob keep their own records under their policies. You may contact us with any privacy question or request; where applicable, you may also raise a concern with your local data-protection authority.

Changes

We update this page when the game's data practices change.
