This Privacy Policy explains how the Vanish app ("we", "the app") handles your information. In short: we do not collect, sell, or share personal data on our own servers. The app relies on Apple services that you control.
We do not operate our own accounts or servers. We do not collect your name, email, contacts, location, or device advertising identifier, and we do not run third‑party analytics or tracking.
Game Center (optional). If you sign in to Game Center, Apple provides leaderboards and achievements. Your Game Center identity and scores are managed by Apple under Apple's privacy policy. We only submit your star totals and achievement progress to Apple's Game Center; we do not store them ourselves.
iCloud (optional). Your game progress (levels, stars, coins, settings, owned items) can be saved to your private iCloud using Apple's Key‑Value Store, tied to your Apple ID. This lets you keep progress across reinstalls and your own devices. This data lives in your iCloud account; we cannot read it.
In‑App Purchases. Purchases (themes, figures, coins, ads‑free) are processed by Apple. We never receive or store your payment details.
Vanish shows ads through Google AdMob to support the free version (you can remove ads with a one‑time in‑app purchase). We have configured AdMob to serve non‑personalized ads — ads are not targeted using your personal data or a profile about you. To measure ad delivery and prevent fraud, AdMob may process limited, non‑identifying technical and device information. This data is handled by Google under Google's Privacy Policy. The app does not use Apple's App Tracking Transparency because it does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
Vanish is a family‑friendly word game and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Because we don't hold your data, there is nothing for us to delete. Game Center and iCloud data are managed in your Apple ID settings; deleting the app and its iCloud data removes your saved progress.
We may update this policy; the "Last updated" date will change accordingly.
