The short version

We collect as little as we can. Most of our apps work without an account. Some use analytics, crash reports or ads, all of which are listed on each store page. We never sell your data, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.

Why write this at all?

Privacy policies have to be precise, which usually makes them long. Ours is no exception. This post is the human version: what we actually do, in normal words.

What do Noisy Fox apps collect?

It depends on the app, and each app’s store listing has a data safety section that shows exactly what applies. In general:

  • Game progress and settings are usually stored on your phone only.
  • Crash reports tell us when something breaks, with technical details like your phone model and OS version.
  • Anonymous usage stats tell us things like which level people get stuck on.
  • Advertising identifiers are only used in apps that show ads, and you can reset or limit them in your phone settings.

What don’t we collect?

We don’t read your contacts, messages or photos. We don’t track your precise location. If an app ever needs a permission like the microphone, it will ask first, explain why, and still work if you say no.

Do we sell your data?

No. Never have, never will.

What about children?

Some of our games may be fun for younger players. Any title aimed at children follows Google Play’s Families policy and the Apple App Store’s rules for kids, which means no personalised ads and strict limits on data.

How do I delete my data?

Uninstalling an app removes everything stored on your phone. To remove anything we hold on our side, follow the steps on our data deletion page or email us. We handle every request within 30 days.

If we wouldn’t be comfortable explaining it to a friend, we don’t do it.
