Privacy Policy

Water Ring Toss: Aquarium · Last updated: 25 October 2026

This policy explains what Water Ring Toss: Aquarium ("the app"), published by Henok Tasissa ("we", an individual), does with your data on iOS and Android. We are the controller of the limited data described here. You can reach us at the email address in section 13.

In short: the app has no accounts and no login. Your game progress stays on your device. The only data that leaves your device is anonymous usage statistics (no identity, no IP address stored), what Google AdMob needs to show ads, what Apple, Google Play and RevenueCat need to process purchases, routine technical requests when the app checks for updates, and any email you choose to send us. We never sell your data.

1. Data stored on your device

The app saves your progress locally using your device's app storage: the level you are on, coins, stars, your daily streak, collected sea creatures, unlocked tank styles and room themes, achievements, settings such as the sound toggle, and whether you have bought Remove Ads. This data is not sent to us. Deleting the app deletes it.

2. Advertising (Google AdMob)

The app shows ads through Google AdMob, including rewarded videos you choose to watch and occasional interstitial ads between levels. To serve and measure ads, Google's SDK may collect:

your device's advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, Advertising ID on Android), only if you allow it
IP address and approximate location derived from it
device and app information (model, operating system, language, app version)
ad interaction data (which ads were shown, viewed or tapped)

Google acts as an independent party for this data. How Google uses it is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy. If you allow tracking, Google may use your advertising identifier to show more relevant ads, which can involve linking it with data from other companies' apps and websites. We do not receive that data.

Your choices.

On iOS, the app asks "Allow tracking?" before using the advertising identifier. If you decline, you still get the whole game and ads become non-personalized.
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, a consent form appears on first launch. You can change your choice at any time with "Ad privacy options" in the app's Shop screen.
You can reset or limit your advertising identifier in your device settings (iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking; Android: Settings → Google → Ads).
Buying Remove Ads stops interstitial ads permanently. Rewarded videos remain optional.

3. In-app purchases

Purchases (coin packs, the Splash Pack, Double Coins, the piggy bank and Remove Ads) are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play under their own terms and privacy policies. We never see your payment details.

We use RevenueCat to validate purchases and let you restore them on a new device. RevenueCat receives a random anonymous app user ID generated on your device, the purchase receipt, and the technical information any internet service receives when an app connects to it. It does not receive your name or email.

4. Anonymous usage statistics

To learn which levels are too hard, whether the game is fun and whether it works well, the app sends anonymous usage events to PostHog, such as "level 12 completed with 3 stars", "a timed challenge was failed" or "an ad was shown". Each event carries a random ID generated when you install the app, the app name and version, and your operating system (iOS or Android).

The random ID is not linked to your name, email, account or advertising identifier, and reinstalling the app creates a new one
Your IP address is discarded by our PostHog settings and is not stored, and no location is collected
No contacts, photos, microphone or camera data, and no screen recordings, are ever collected
Events are never used for advertising or sold
If the app crashes, a crash report is sent to Sentry. It contains technical details only (device model, operating system and app version, and the error), with no name, account or screenshots. We ask Sentry not to store IP addresses, and reports are used only to fix bugs

5. App updates and technical connections

The app checks for updates through Expo's update service, and the services above (Google, RevenueCat, PostHog, Sentry, Apple and Expo) receive the routine technical information that any internet connection involves, such as an IP address, the app version and the device's operating system. We do not use that information to identify you, and where a service lets us turn off IP storage we have done so.

6. Feedback and email

The app has a "Send feedback" button that opens an email to us in your own mail app. Nothing is sent unless you press send. The email contains what you write plus the app version and your phone's operating system, and comes from your email address, which we use only to reply and to improve the app. Please do not include sensitive information. We keep feedback emails for as long as they are useful and delete them on request.

The app may also ask you, using your phone's standard pop-up, to rate it on the App Store or Google Play. We do not receive your answer or any data from that pop-up.

7. What we do not collect

No account, name, email, phone number or password (other than an email you choose to send us)
No contacts, photos, microphone, camera or precise location
We do not ourselves track you across other companies' apps or websites. Google AdMob may do so only if you allow tracking, as described in section 2
No server-sent notifications. The app does not send notifications. If you turn on phone tilt, the motion sensor is read on your device only and its readings never leave it

8. Children

The app is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or under the higher age that applies where you live). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. Where the law requires a parent's or guardian's consent for a child to use online services, that consent is needed to use the app. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Data retention and deletion

Progress stays on your device until you delete the app. Advertising data is retained by Google under its retention policies. Purchase records are retained by Apple, Google and RevenueCat as long as needed to honor your purchases and meet legal obligations. Anonymous usage events are kept only as long as they are useful for analysis. To ask for deletion of data held by RevenueCat or PostHog on your behalf, email us with the approximate date you installed the app or made a purchase and the store you used; because the data is anonymous, we may need these details to find it.

10. Your rights and legal bases

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in Europe and the UK, or the CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to or withdraw consent for personalized advertising, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Where the GDPR applies, we rely on your consent for personalized ads, on contract performance for purchases, and on our legitimate interest in improving the app for anonymous statistics. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising ourselves, and we do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals because the app is not a website. Use the choices in section 2, or contact us at the address below.

11. International transfers and security

The services we use (Google, RevenueCat, PostHog, Sentry, Apple) may process data in the United States and other countries, under their own safeguards. We take reasonable steps to protect the little data we handle, but no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we are not responsible for how third-party services protect or use data they collect independently.

12. Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new "Last updated" date.
