Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 12, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you play Knitty Gecko: Yarn Puzzle (the "Game") on iOS or Android, how it is used and shared, and the choices you have. The Game is published by LittleBigBrain (PiPoPlays.com) ("we", "us", "our"). By using the Game you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Game.

1. Summary

• We do not ask you to create an account and we never ask for your name, email, phone number, contacts, photos or precise location.
• Your progress, coins, boosters and settings are stored only on your device.
• The Game is free and shows ads from Google AdMob and AppLovin MAX. These partners collect device data (such as the advertising ID and IP address) to show and measure ads.
• Purchases are handled by Apple or Google. We never see your payment details.
• You can limit ad tracking, change your consent, or delete your data at any time (see sections 7 and 10).

2. Information stored on your device

The Game saves your level progress, finished pictures, coins, boosters, purchase status (for example whether "Remove Ads" is active), daily-reward and piggy-bank status, sound and language settings in your device's local storage. This data is not sent to us. It is deleted when you use Settings → Reset progress or uninstall the Game.

3. Information collected by our advertising partners

To show ads, our partners' software in the Game may automatically collect:

• Device identifiers: the advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, Google Advertising ID on Android), the IDFV / app-set ID, and similar identifiers;
• Device and network information: device model, operating system and version, language, time zone, screen size, mobile carrier, connection type and IP address (from which an approximate, city-level location may be derived);
• Ad interaction data: which ads were requested, shown, clicked or completed, and when;
• Diagnostic data: crash logs and performance information of the ad software.

Our partners process this data as independent controllers under their own privacy policies:

• Google AdMob: policies.google.com/privacy · how Google uses data from partner apps: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
• AppLovin (MAX): www.applovin.com/privacy/

AppLovin MAX may request ads from other ad networks on its list of partners. Those networks may receive the same kind of device information to compete for and deliver an ad.

4. In-app purchases

All purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play using your store account. We do not receive your name, email address or payment card details. We only receive the product identifier and a confirmation of the transaction from the store, which is used to deliver your items and to restore non-consumable purchases such as "Remove Ads".

5. Contacting us

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write. We use it only to answer you and keep it no longer than needed for that purpose, unless the law requires otherwise.

6. How the information is used

• To run the Game and save your progress on your device;
• To show ads, including rewarded ads you choose to watch, and to limit how often you see them;
• To personalize ads, only where you have allowed it (see section 7);
• To measure ad performance, detect fraud and keep the Game secure;
• To deliver and restore purchases;
• To fix crashes and improve the Game;
• To answer your support requests and comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information for money. Sharing device data with ad partners for personalized advertising may count as "selling" or "sharing" under some US state laws; you can opt out as described in section 7.

7. Your ad choices and consent

• iPhone / iPad: the Game asks for permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt before your advertising identifier is used for tracking. If you choose "Ask App Not to Track", you still see ads, but they are not personalized using that identifier. You can change this any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
• Android: you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of ads personalization, in Settings → Google → Ads (or Settings → Privacy → Ads, depending on your device).
• EEA, UK and Switzerland: personalized ads are shown only where consent has been given as required by law. Where you are asked for consent, you can refuse it or withdraw it at any time, and you will then see non-personalized or limited ads. You can also contact us at htnadevapp@hotmail.com to withdraw consent.
• Remove Ads: the "Remove Ads" purchase stops banner, interstitial and app-open ads. Rewarded ads stay available but are always optional.

8. Legal bases (EEA / UK)

We and our partners rely on: your consent for personalized advertising and for accessing device identifiers where consent is required; the performance of a contract to provide the Game and deliver purchases; and legitimate interests to show non-personalized ads that fund the free Game, measure ads, prevent fraud and keep the Game secure.

9. Data retention

Game data stays on your device until you reset or uninstall the Game. Our ad partners keep data for the periods described in their own privacy policies. Support emails are deleted when they are no longer needed.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA and other US state laws, Brazil's LGPD or Vietnam's personal-data protection rules), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, to withdraw consent, and to opt out of targeted advertising or the "sale"/"sharing" of personal information. Because we do not keep personal data on our own servers, most data can be removed directly on your device (Reset progress, uninstall, reset your advertising ID). For any other request, email htnadevapp@hotmail.com; we will answer within the time required by law and will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. You also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.

11. Children

The Game is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 (or the higher minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information, contact us at htnadevapp@hotmail.com and we will delete it and stop related processing.

12. International transfers

Our ad partners may process data in countries other than yours, including the United States. Where required, they use safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

13. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, and our partners transmit data using encryption. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure.

14. Links to other services

Ads and links in the Game may take you to websites or apps run by others. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices; please read their policies.

15. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The date at the top shows the latest version. If a change is significant, we will tell you in the Game or on the store page. Continuing to use the Game after an update means you accept the updated Policy.
