Drop Dash: Wind-Up Tock — Privacy Policy

Effective 8 November 2026

Drop Dash: Wind-Up Tock ("Drop Dash") is a puzzle game for Android, iPhone and iPad. This policy explains what happens to your information when you play it. The short version: we collect nothing ourselves; Google's advertising service shows an occasional advert, one purchase turns adverts off, and on iPhone and iPad Apple's iCloud and Game Center can carry your progress if you use them.

Drop Dash is made and published by Asad Khalil, an independent developer, on the App Store and Google Play. This page is hosted on pakgamershub.com, which is also owned and operated by Asad Khalil; "we" in this policy means him.

Information we collect

None. We do not run a server, and Drop Dash has no accounts and no sign-in. It does not ask for your location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos or files, and we never see, store or sell any personal information. Advertising and Apple's services below are run by Google and Apple, not by us.

Advertising

Drop Dash is free and shows adverts: a small banner on the Levels and results screens, never during play (versions before 1.1 showed an occasional full-screen advert between levels instead). The adverts come from Google AdMob. To choose and measure adverts, Google's software in the app collects information such as your device type and operating system, your approximate location (worked out from your IP address), how you interact with the adverts, and diagnostic data such as crash and performance information. Google uses it under its own privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy, and explains how it uses information from apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

On Android, Google's software can also read your device's advertising ID, which you can reset or delete at any time in your phone's settings (Google → Ads). On iPhone and iPad, Drop Dash shows Apple's tracking prompt once. If you allow it, Google's software can read Apple's advertising identifier (IDFA) to choose adverts; if you don't, it is not read and the game plays the same. You can change this at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. We never combine any of this information with anything else. Adverts are limited to content suitable for a general audience. If you are in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, Google's consent form asks for your choice before any advert is requested, and "Privacy choices" in the pause menu lets you change it at any time.

If an advert looks wrong for this game, tap "Report an ad" in the pause menu to tell us by email.

Google is the only company we share with, and only through its software in the app. It handles this information under its own privacy policy and the AdMob terms, and we rely on those to give it the same or equal protection as this policy. How long Google keeps advertising data, and how to ask it to delete data, are set out in its privacy policy linked above.

Purchases

"Remove ads" is a one-time purchase that turns adverts off for good; nothing else in the game is ever locked. Payment is handled entirely by Google Play (on Android) or Apple (on iPhone and iPad) through your own account, and we never see your payment details. The store tells the game only whether you own the purchase, and "Restore purchase" in the pause menu brings it back on a new device.

Information stored on your device

Your game progress and settings (levels completed, stars, unlocked paint jobs, sound and story preferences, and whether you own Remove ads) are saved on your own device, so you can carry on where you left off. They are never sent to us. Uninstalling the game or clearing its data deletes the copy on your device. If you have device backup turned on (Google backup on Android, iCloud backup on iPhone and iPad), your phone may include this data in your own backup under Google's or Apple's terms; we cannot see it.

iCloud and Game Center (iPhone and iPad)

If you are signed in to iCloud, your game progress is also kept in your own iCloud account so it follows you to your other devices; your settings stay on each device. We cannot see it. To delete it, use Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Storage on your device.

If you sign in to Game Center, your achievements and your longest daily-run streak go to Apple under your Game Center profile, and the streak appears on the game's leaderboard. Game Center is optional and the game plays the same without it. Apple runs both services under its own privacy policy.

Permissions

On Android the app declares the Internet permission because it runs in Android's web view, which requires it; the game itself loads everything from inside the app. It uses vibration for haptic feedback. Google's advertising software adds the advertising-ID permission on Android. On iPhone and iPad the only permission the game asks for is Apple's tracking prompt, and declining it changes nothing in the game. The internet is used only by Google's advertising service, by Google Play or Apple for purchases, and by iCloud and Game Center.

Children

Drop Dash is made for players aged 13 and over, though it is suitable for everyone. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and the game itself collects none from anyone. Adverts are limited to content suitable for a general audience.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new effective date.

Terms

Playing Drop Dash is also covered by its terms of use.
