PicPeekaBoo

Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 11, 2026

PicPeekaBoo ("the App," "we," "us") is a single-player picture-guessing game published by Compass & Crane. This page explains, plainly and completely, what happens to your data when you use the App. If you read nothing else, read the box above — that's the whole story.

1. Information We Collect

PicPeekaBoo itself does not collect, transmit, or have access to any personal information from players — we have no server, no account system, and no analytics of our own. Specifically, the App:

• Does not require or offer account creation, sign-up, or login of any kind.
• Does not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or any other contact or identity information.
• Does not request access to your contacts, photo library, camera, microphone, or location.
• Does not include any analytics or crash-reporting SDK of our own. We do not use Firebase Analytics, Sentry, Amplitude, or any comparable tool.

Two third-party services are integrated into the App and do collect some data as part of how they work — see Section 3 (Advertising) and Section 4 (In-App Purchases) below for exactly what.

2. What Is Stored, and Where

The App keeps track of a small amount of game state — which puzzles you've solved, your best scores, your daily-challenge streak, when you first opened the App, and whether you've purchased "Remove Ads" — so that closing and reopening the App doesn't lose your progress. This information is written using your device's standard local storage (AsyncStorage) and never leaves your device via any server we operate — we have no server of our own that receives, stores, or has any visibility into this data. If you delete the App, this data is deleted with it. (Your Remove Ads purchase itself is separately recorded by Apple or Google and by RevenueCat, as described in Section 4 below, so it can be restored if you reinstall the App.)

3. Advertising (Endless Rush only)

The Endless Rush game mode occasionally shows a full-screen ad between rounds, served by Google's AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK). Ads never appear inside a puzzle, right after a wrong guess, in Daily Challenge, or during your very first play session, and every player sees a hard cap of five ads per app session.

• Non-personalized ads only. The App requests non-personalized ads from AdMob on every single ad request — it never requests personalized/targeted ads, and never reads or uses your device's advertising identifier for targeting or cross-app tracking. This is also why the App does not show Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt: it doesn't need to ask permission to track you, because it doesn't track you for ads.
• What AdMob still collects. Even in non-personalized mode, Google's SDK collects some technical data as part of ordinary ad delivery — things like a device identifier, basic ad-interaction data, and SDK performance/crash diagnostics — used for frequency capping, fraud/invalid-traffic prevention, and keeping ads working. This data is handled by Google, not by us, under Google's Privacy Policy. Before showing any ad, the App also runs Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent flow, which may present a consent form where required by local law.
• Ad content is filtered for general audiences. The App configures AdMob to only serve "G" (general audiences) rated ad content, consistent with an all-ages app.
• Prefer no ads at all? See Section 4 — the optional Remove Ads purchase turns off Endless Rush ads permanently.

4. In-App Purchases ("Remove Ads")

The App offers one optional, one-time purchase: "Remove Ads" ($2.99), which permanently turns off the ads described in Section 3. Purchases are processed by Apple's App Store or Google Play (never by us directly — we never see or store your payment details) and tracked using RevenueCat, a third-party purchase-management service, so your purchase can be restored if you reinstall the App or switch devices. RevenueCat receives your purchase/transaction history for this product and an anonymous, App-generated identifier — never your name, email, or payment information — governed by RevenueCat's Privacy Policy. Whether you own Remove Ads is also cached locally on your device (AsyncStorage) purely so the App can hide ads instantly on launch without waiting on a network round-trip; RevenueCat remains the source of truth.

5. Network Requests

Beyond the AdMob and RevenueCat SDKs described above, the App loads its photo content (the pictures you're guessing) from a content delivery network (CDN) over a standard, encrypted HTTPS connection, so that the App itself can stay a reasonable download size instead of bundling hundreds of images. These requests:

• Do not include your name, an account identifier, or any other information that could identify you — because the App has no concept of "you" as an account or identity in the first place.
• Are the same kind of ordinary request any web browser makes when loading an image — the CDN provider may keep standard, short-lived technical connection logs (such as an IP address) purely for routine operation, security, and abuse prevention, exactly as any website or CDN does. We do not receive, request, or use these logs to identify, profile, or track individual players.

6. Sharing Your Daily Challenge Result

The Daily Challenge screen lets you optionally share a spoiler-free results summary (for example, a row of colored tile emoji and a star rating — never the photo or the answer) using your device's native share sheet. This hands the text off to whatever app or contact you personally choose in that moment (Messages, a social app, etc.) — PicPeekaBoo itself does not transmit this text anywhere, does not log it, and has no server to send it to. What happens after you tap "Share" is governed by the privacy policy of whichever app you choose to share into.

7. Children's Privacy

PicPeekaBoo is designed to be suitable for all ages, including children. We collect no personal information ourselves, and Endless Rush ads are deliberately configured to request non-personalized ads only and to serve only general-audience ("G" rated) ad content — both chosen specifically to keep the App's advertising in line with the intent of children's privacy laws such as the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you'd rather your child not see any ads at all, the Remove Ads purchase (Section 4) turns them off entirely.

8. Photo Attribution and Licensing

The photos used in the App are sourced from Wikimedia Commons and used under their respective open licenses (including public domain and Creative Commons licenses). Full attribution for every photo is available inside the App on the "Photo Credits" screen. This is a licensing/legal matter, not a personal-data matter — no information about you is involved in how these photos are displayed.

9. Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties ourselves — we have no server to do so from. The App does integrate two third-party SDKs that operate under their own privacy policies, described above: Google AdMob (advertising, Section 3) and RevenueCat (purchase management, Section 4). No other third-party advertising, analytics, or social integrations are embedded in the App.

10. Changes to This Policy

If the App's data practices ever change (for example, if a future version adds optional cloud sync, an account, or personalized ads), this page will be updated first, the "Last updated" date above will change, and — if the change is material — we will make it clearly visible in the App itself before you're asked to opt in to anything new. As of the date above, this policy accurately describes everything the App and its two integrated SDKs (Google AdMob and RevenueCat) collect.
