Last updated: May 18, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Squares ("we", "our", "us"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the Squares iOS application (the "App"). By downloading or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Automatically Collected Information

When you use the App, we or our third-party partners may automatically collect:

2.2 Advertising Identifiers

With your permission, we may collect your device's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) to deliver personalized advertisements through Google AdMob. On iOS 14.5 and later, we request your consent via Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework before accessing the IDFA. You may deny this permission at any time in your device settings under Privacy & Security → Tracking.

2.3 Locally Stored Data

Your game progress, statistics, and preferences are stored locally on your device. This data is not transmitted to our servers.

2.4 Information We Do Not Collect

We do not require account registration. We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily contact us.

3. Advertising

We use Google AdMob to display advertisements within the App. AdMob may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your interactions with ads and to deliver personalized advertisements based on your interests. For more information about Google's data practices, please visit Google's Privacy Policy.

We also offer optional rewarded ads that allow you to earn in-game hints by watching a short video advertisement. Viewing rewarded ads is entirely voluntary.

If you deny the ATT prompt or opt out of personalized advertising, you will still see ads, but they will not be personalized.

4. In-App Purchases

The App offers optional in-app purchases processed exclusively by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect or store your payment information. All purchases are subject to Apple's Terms of Sale. For refund requests, please contact Apple Support.
