Tumble Jam Privacy Policy

Tumble Jam is a family-friendly block puzzle game made by DigitalRocket, for players of all ages. This policy explains what the app does and doesn’t do with information. The short version: the game has no accounts, asks for nothing about you or your child, and keeps progress on the device.

Last updated

What the app stores

Game progress, settings (sound, music, haptics), unlocked looks and skins, stars and power-ups are saved on the device. They are never sent to us.

If the device is signed in to iCloud, the same progress record is also kept in the player’s own iCloud account (Apple’s Key-Value Storage), so it comes back after the app is reinstalled or installed on another device with the same Apple ID. This data goes only to Apple, under Apple’s privacy policy; we have no access to it. Turning iCloud Drive off for Tumble Jam in the device settings stops the backup, and deleting the app then deletes the progress.

What the app does not do

  • No account of our own: the game never asks for a name, email or age. The only sign-in is Apple’s optional Game Center, described below.
  • No analytics, no crash reporting that identifies a person, no third-party tracking.
  • No location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone access. The app never asks for location permission; Google may estimate a coarse, city-level location from the IP address of an ad request (see Ads below).
  • No links out of the app except the App Store’s own purchase flow and this policy, both behind a grown-up check.

Ads

Tumble Jam shows ads through Google AdMob. Every ad request is marked child-directed and for users under the age of consent, which tells Google to serve non-personalized ads only, to disable interest-based advertising and remarketing, and to limit the data it collects. An ad request carries the device’s IP address and basic device information; Google may derive an approximate location from the IP address to serve region-appropriate ads. This is not linked to you and is not used for tracking. Google’s own handling of ad requests is described in Google’s privacy policy.

Rewarded video ads are always optional: the player chooses to watch one for an in-game bonus. Interstitial ads appear only between games. The “Remove Ads” purchase turns interstitials off for good.

Game Center

If the device is signed in to Apple’s Game Center, the game reports achievements and Endless high scores to it so they appear on the Game Center leaderboards and in the achievements list. Game Center is run by Apple under Apple’s privacy policy; the game sees only whether the player is signed in. Scores are shown to Game Center friends and on the global leaderboard under the player’s Game Center nickname, which parents can manage in Screen Time and the Game Center settings on the device. Skipping or declining the Game Center sign-in changes nothing about the game.

Purchases

Star packs and Remove Ads are bought through Apple’s App Store. Purchases are protected by a grown-up check inside the app. We never see payment details; Apple’s privacy policy covers the transaction.

Children’s privacy

Tumble Jam is a general-audience game rated 4+, and children play it too, so it treats every player as a child: ads are requested as child-directed and under the age of consent, nothing is tracked, and purchases sit behind a grown-up check, in line with COPPA. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and the app is built so that it has nothing to collect.

Changes

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