Arrow Drift Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 November 2026

Arrow Drift: Tap Out Puzzle ("Arrow Drift", "the app") is a puzzle game for iOS and Android published by EncoderBytes (Pvt) Ltd ("we", "us"). This policy explains what data the app uses and why.

The short version

  • You do not need an account, and we do not ask for your name, email or phone number.
  • Your game progress, coins and settings are stored only on your device.
  • The app shows ads through Google AdMob. Google may collect device and usage data to show and measure ads.
  • Payments are handled by Apple or Google. We never see your card details.

Data stored on your device

The app saves your level progress, stars, coins, hints, lives, daily streak, theme and sound settings on your device. This data never leaves your device and is not sent to us. Deleting the app deletes it.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

Arrow Drift is free and shows ads between some levels and optional reward videos. Ads are provided by Google AdMob. To show, limit and measure ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect:

  • Device identifiers, such as the Apple Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) or the Android Advertising ID
  • IP address and approximate location derived from it
  • Device information, such as model, operating system and language
  • Ad interactions and app usage data, such as ads viewed or tapped
  • Crash and performance diagnostics for the ads SDK

Google uses this data as described in its own policy: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Your choices

  • iPhone and iPad: the app asks for permission before using your advertising identifier (App Tracking Transparency). If you choose "Ask App Not to Track", you will still see ads, but they will be less personalised. You can change this at any time in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
  • Europe, UK and Switzerland: the app shows Google's consent form before personalised ads are used. You can change your choice later from Settings > Ad privacy choices in the app.
  • US states with privacy laws (such as California): you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information from Settings > Ad privacy choices in the app.
  • Android: you can reset or delete your Advertising ID in Android Settings > Privacy > Ads.
  • Buying Premium or Remove Ads in the app stops ads between levels.

In-app purchases

Purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. They send the app a confirmation of what you bought so it can unlock it. We do not receive your name, email or payment details.

Children

Arrow Drift is a general-audience game and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us and we will help remove it.

Data sharing and sale

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not collect personal information on our own servers. The only third party that receives data from the app is Google, for advertising, as described above.

Data retention and deletion

Data stored by the app stays on your device until you delete the app. For data held by Google for advertising, you can use the controls above or Google's My Ad Center.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
