Privacy Policy for Arrow Flow
This Privacy Policy explains how Mohit Patel ("we", "us", or "our") handles information in connection with the mobile game Arrow Flow (the "App"). By downloading or using the App, you agree to the practices described here.
We built Arrow Flow to be privacy-friendly: you do not create an account, and we do not ask for your name, email address, or any other contact details. Most of your data never leaves your device except as described below.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide
None. Arrow Flow has no sign-up, no login, and no profile. We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or social media information.
Game data stored on your device (and your iCloud)
The App stores your gameplay data so your progress is saved:
- Levels completed and star ratings
- Hint balance and in-app purchase status
- Daily challenge streaks
- App settings (sound, music, haptics, theme)
This data is stored locally on your device and, if you are signed in to iCloud, is synced through Apple's iCloud so your progress follows you across your devices and survives a reinstall. This sync is tied silently to your device's iCloud account — we never see it, and it is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. We do not operate our own servers or accounts.
Information collected automatically for advertising
The App displays ads through Google AdMob. To do this, AdMob and its partners may collect:
- Advertising identifier (IDFA) and device identifiers
- Device information (device model, operating system, language, coarse location derived from IP, network information)
- Ad interaction and usage data (ads shown, taps, time spent)
This information is collected and processed by Google, not by us, in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy and Google's How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
2. How Information Is Used
- Game data is used only to save and restore your progress and preferences.
- Advertising data is used by Google and its partners to deliver, measure, and (if you consent) personalize ads, and to detect fraud and abuse.
We do not sell your personal information.
3. Advertising, Tracking, and Your Consent
Arrow Flow shows banner, interstitial (full-screen), and rewarded (opt-in) ads via Google AdMob.
Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT)
On first launch, iOS may ask whether you allow the App to track you across other companies' apps and websites. If you decline, the App still works fully — you'll simply see non-personalized ads instead of personalized ones. You can change this anytime in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking on your device.
Consent for users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we present a consent form (via Google's User Messaging Platform) before serving personalized ads, as required by GDPR and Google's EU User Consent Policy. You may grant, decline, or manage your choices, and you can revisit them at any time.
Reset your advertising identifier
You can reset or limit your advertising identifier at any time in your device settings.
4. In-App Purchases
The App offers optional in-app purchases (for example, hint packs). All payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your payment card details — Apple handles billing and shares only confirmation of a completed purchase with the App.
5. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal data:
- EEA / UK (GDPR): rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing, and to withdraw consent. Because we hold no account data about you, most requests concern data processed by Google as described above — see Google's policy for how to exercise them. You may also adjust ATT and consent settings as described in Section 3.
- California (CCPA/CPRA): the right to know, delete, and opt out of "sale"/"sharing" of personal information. We do not sell your personal information. You can opt out of personalized ads via ATT.
- All users: you can stop all collection described here by adjusting your device's tracking settings, declining consent, or deleting the App.
To make a request or ask a question, contact us at mohitpatel.dev@gmail.com.
6. Data Retention
Game data persists on your device (and your iCloud) until you delete the App or reset your progress within it; iCloud data is retained per your iCloud account settings. Advertising data is retained by Google according to Google's own retention policies.
7. Children's Privacy
Arrow Flow is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information that should be removed, contact us at mohitpatel.dev@gmail.com.
8. Security
We use reasonable measures to protect data stored on your device. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. International Data Transfers
Because advertising is provided by Google, information collected for ads may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States. Google provides appropriate safeguards for such transfers under its policies.
10. Third-Party Services
The App relies on these third parties, each governed by its own privacy policy:
- Google AdMob — advertising. Privacy Policy
- Apple iCloud & App Store — progress sync and purchases. Privacy Policy
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide notice in the App. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
