Jelly48
Privacy Policy
The short version: no accounts, no sign-ups, and we never collect your name, email, contacts, or location. Your saves live on your device. We collect a small amount of anonymous gameplay statistics with no identifiers attached. In the iOS app, ads are served by Google AdMob under your consent choices, and purchases are handled entirely by Apple. We don't sell data — there's nothing to sell.
Who we are
Jelly48 and Jellygon are independent games built by a small studio. Questions about this policy or your data: [email protected].
Data that stays on your device
Game progress (your board, score, and best score) and settings (like volume) are stored locally — browser storage on the web, app storage on iOS. They never leave your device, with one exception: on iOS, your best score (a single number) syncs through your personal iCloud account so it follows you across your devices. That sync is between your device and Apple; we never see it.
Anonymous gameplay statistics
To tune difficulty and find bugs, the games send a small number of anonymous events to our own server (no third-party analytics SDKs). A session summary — play duration, games played, performance counters — and a game-over event — score, highest piece reached, game length. Events include coarse context: platform (web/iOS), device class (phone/desktop), app version, and a session-number and days-since-first-play counter that your device reports about itself.
What these events deliberately do not contain:
- no user or device identifier of any kind — events cannot be linked to you or to each other across devices;
- no IP address or browser fingerprint — our server discards connection metadata and stores only the fields above;
- no precise device model, no location, no contact information.
Raw events are retained for about 90 days, after which only aggregate statistics (charts and totals) remain. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in improving the games; because the data is anonymous, it cannot be tied back to you.
Advertising (Jellygon iOS app only)
The Jellygon app shows banner ads served by Google AdMob. Google may process device information (such as advertising identifiers, IP address, and coarse ad-interaction data) to serve and measure ads, as described in Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses data from partners.
- Your consent controls this. Where GDPR applies, a consent form is shown before any ad is served, and you can revisit your choices any time via PRIVACY in the game's pause menu. On iOS, the App Tracking Transparency prompt additionally controls access to the advertising identifier — declining it means ads are served without cross-app tracking.
- You can remove ads entirely with a one-time purchase, after which no ad requests are made at all.
- The web game at jelly48.com shows no ads.
Purchases
In-app purchases (such as Remove Ads) are processed by Apple through your Apple ID. We receive only an anonymous confirmation that the purchase happened — never your payment details, name, or Apple ID.
Service providers
- Cloudflare — hosts the website and receives the anonymous statistics described above.
- Google (AdMob) — ad serving in the iOS app, under your consent choices.
- Apple — purchases, iCloud sync, and standard opt-in App Store analytics.
Children
The games are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone — children included. The anonymous statistics above contain no personal information regardless of who is playing.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (GDPR, CCPA, and similar laws), you may have rights to access, delete, or object to processing of personal data. Because we hold no data linked to you, there is usually nothing for us to look up — but contact us at [email protected] with any request or question and we'll help. For data processed by Google or Apple, their privacy pages above describe your controls.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, we'll update this page and the effective date above. The current version always lives at jelly48.com/privacy.
