Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 10, 2026

This policy explains how Ringo Splash: Water Ring Toss (“the Game”) for iPhone and iPad, published by Mehmet Salih Aslan (“we”, “us”), handles information when you play the Game or visit this website.

Summary

• There are no accounts and no sign-in. We never ask for your name, email address, phone number or precise location.
• Your progress and settings stay on your device.
• The Game shows ads from Google AdMob and uses Google’s Firebase Analytics to understand how the Game is played.
• The advertising identifier (IDFA) is only used if you allow tracking when iOS asks.
• We do not sell your data, and none of it is linked to your identity.

Information stored on your device

Your level progress, stars, settings and whether you bought Remove Ads are saved in a file on your device. This file is not sent to us. Deleting the Game deletes it.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The Game shows rewarded ads (for example, to get 10 extra seconds) and occasional full-screen ads between levels. Ads are provided by Google AdMob. To show, measure and protect ads, AdMob may collect:

• Device identifiers: the Apple advertising identifier (IDFA), only if you allow tracking in the iOS “Allow Tracking” prompt. If you say no, the IDFA is not available to AdMob.
• Advertising data: which ads were shown, tapped or watched to the end.
• Coarse location: an approximate location derived from your IP address.
• Diagnostic data: crash and performance information from the ads software.

When you first open the Game, you may see a consent form from Google (in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland this follows the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework). Your answer decides whether ads can be personalized and whether information may be stored on your device. If you decline, the Game works the same; you may see less relevant ads. See how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

Analytics (Google Firebase Analytics)

We use Firebase Analytics to see which levels are too hard, how often ads are shown and whether the Game crashes less over time. The analytics version we use does not read the IDFA. It collects:

• Identifiers: a random app instance ID created by Firebase and the identifier for vendor (IDFV) that iOS gives to our app. Neither is linked to your name or any account.
• Game events: session start, level start and end (level name, win or loss, stars), ads shown and rewards given, and the Remove Ads purchase (price and currency).
• Coarse location: country or region derived from your IP address. Google does not store the IP address itself for analytics.
• Device information: such as device model, iOS version, app version and language.

In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, analytics follow your answer in the consent form above. If you do not give consent, Firebase sends only basic event information without identifiers, so it cannot be tied to your device. Analytics data is kept by Google for the limited period set in our Google Analytics settings and is used only to improve the Game. See Privacy and Security in Firebase.

Changing your choices

• Consent form: open the Game’s Settings and tap Privacy choices (shown where the consent form applies) to change your answer at any time.
• Tracking: in iOS go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking and turn tracking off for Ringo Splash.

In-app purchase (Remove Ads)

The optional Remove Ads purchase is processed by Apple through the App Store. We never see or store your payment details. The Game only learns whether the purchase succeeded, and records it on your device and, as described above, in analytics.

How the App Store describes this

On the Game’s App Store page, the data above is listed as: Identifiers (Device ID) and Usage Data (Advertising Data), used to track you as described under Advertising; and Location (Coarse Location), Usage Data (Product Interaction), Purchases (Purchase History) and Diagnostics (Crash Data, Performance Data), not used to track you. None of it is linked to your identity.

Children

The Game is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will help remove it.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or Türkiye’s KVKK), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or object to the use of your data, and to withdraw consent. Because the Game has no accounts and we do not keep personal data on our own servers, you can usually do this yourself with the choices above or by deleting the Game. For anything else, contact us. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
