Privacy Policy

The short version: there are no accounts or sign-ups, and we never ask for your name, email, contacts or precise location. Your saves stay on your device. Jelly48 and Jellygon send a few anonymous gameplay statistics with no identifiers attached; Float Away sends none. The iOS apps show ads from Google AdMob, under your consent choices. We don't sell data, and there's nothing to sell.

What each game does

Who we are

Jelly48, Jellygon and Float Away are independent games made by a small studio. If you have questions about this policy or your data, write to [email protected].

Data that stays on your device

Game progress (your board, score and best score) and settings like volume are stored on your device: in browser storage on the web, and in app storage on iOS. They never leave your device, with one exception. In Jellygon, your best score (a single number) syncs through your personal iCloud account so it follows you between devices. That sync happens between your device and Apple, and we never see it.

Anonymous gameplay statistics (Jelly48 and Jellygon)

To tune difficulty and find bugs, Jelly48 and Jellygon send a small number of anonymous events to our own server. We don't use any third-party analytics SDKs. The events are:

• a session summary: play duration, games played, and performance counters
• a game-over event: score, highest piece reached, and game length

Events include coarse context that your device reports about itself: platform (web or iOS), device class (phone or desktop), app version, a session count, and a count of days since first play.

What these events deliberately do not contain:

• No user or device identifier of any kind. Events can't be linked to you, or to each other across devices.
• No IP address or browser fingerprint. Our server discards connection details and stores only the fields above.
• No precise device model, location, or contact information.

Raw events are kept for about 90 days. After that, only aggregate statistics (charts and totals) remain. We process this data based on our legitimate interest in improving the games. Because it's anonymous, it can't be traced back to you.

Float Away sends no gameplay statistics of any kind.

Advertising (Jellygon and Float Away on iOS)

Jellygon and Float Away show banner ads served by Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads, Google may process device information. That includes advertising identifiers, your IP address (which can indicate your approximate location) and ad-interaction data. Google describes this in Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Your consent controls this. Where GDPR or the UK GDPR applies, a consent form appears before any ad is served. On iOS, Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt also controls access to your advertising identifier. If you decline it, ads are shown without cross-app tracking.

Changing your ad choices: in Jellygon, tap Privacy in the pause menu to reopen the consent form. In either app, you can change tracking permission at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

In Jellygon, you can remove ads entirely with a one-time purchase. After that, the app makes no ad requests at all. The web games show no ads.

Purchases (Jellygon)

Apple processes in-app purchases, such as Remove Ads, through your Apple Account. We only receive an anonymous confirmation that the purchase happened. We never receive your payment details, your name, or your Apple Account.

Service providers

• Cloudflare hosts the website and receives the anonymous statistics described above.
• Google (AdMob) serves ads in the iOS apps, under your consent choices.
• Apple handles purchases, iCloud sync, and standard opt-in App Store analytics.

Children

Our games are not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. The anonymous statistics above contain no personal information, whoever is playing.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, laws like the GDPR and CCPA may give you rights to access, delete, or object to the processing of personal data. We don't hold data linked to you, so there's usually nothing for us to look up. Still, contact us at [email protected] with any request or question and we'll help. For data that Google or Apple process, their privacy pages linked above explain your controls.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, we'll update this page and the date at the top. The current version always lives at jelly48.com/privacy.
