Privacy Policy
The short version. You can play Drift & Stack without giving us your name, email or contact details. If you are 13 or older and use the online features (leaderboards and friends), we store a username you choose, a random friend code and your best scores. Ads are provided by Google AdMob (together with Unity Ads) and purchases are handled by Apple or Google through RevenueCat. Players under 13 use the game without any online features, and see only child-directed ads. You can delete everything from Settings → Delete account and data.
1. Who we are
Drift & Stack (“the game”) is made by Sticker Crafted Universe LLC (“we”, “us”). Contact: appsupport@stickercrafteduniverse.com. For players in the EEA, UK and Switzerland we are the data controller for the data described in section 3.
2. Your age and what the game does with it
On first launch the game asks for your year of birth, or, where a law requires it, receives an age range from the App Store or Google Play. Only an age range (under 13, 13–17 or 18+) is kept, on your device. Your birth year is never stored or sent anywhere.
- Under 13: no username, leaderboard uploads, friends, push notifications or tracking prompt. Ads are child-directed (COPPA), non-personalised and rated for general audiences. Purchases are never promoted. If a child reports another player’s name, we receive only the report and an anonymous sign-in ID, used to prevent abuse of reports.
- 13–17: online features are available. Ads are always non-personalised and you are never asked for tracking permission.
- 18+: ads may be personalised only if you consent where consent is required (for example in the EEA/UK) and, on iPhone, only if you allow tracking.
3. Data we process
| Data | When | Why | Where it is kept |
|---|---|---|---|
| Username you choose, random friend code (e.g. DRIFT-AB12), anonymous sign-in ID | 13+ and online features used | Show you on leaderboards and to friends; keep your account yours | Google Firebase (our backend) |
| Best scores, games played, daily-challenge results, avatar items and titles | 13+ | Leaderboards, friend comparisons, restoring progress | Google Firebase |
| Friends list, friend requests, players you block, reports you make | 13+ | Friend features and keeping the community safe | Google Firebase |
| Push token, notification choices and time-zone offset | Only if you turn on friend alerts | Send friend alerts, never at night | Google Firebase Cloud Messaging |
| Owner key (a random secret) and a backup of your friend code and username | 13+ | Restore your account after a reinstall | Your iCloud (iPhone) or your Google backup (Android); we keep only a one-way hash of the key |
| Settings, progress, Bricks, age range | Always | Run the game | On your device |
The legal bases (EEA/UK) are performance of our agreement with you (providing the game and its online features), our legitimate interests (security, preventing abuse, moderating usernames) and, for personalised ads and push notifications, your consent.
We do not sell your personal information and do not use it for our own advertising. We do not collect your name, email, phone number, contacts, photos or precise location.
4. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The game shows ads from Google AdMob and, through AdMob mediation, Unity Ads. Ad networks may collect device identifiers (the advertising ID only with your permission), IP-derived approximate location, ad interactions and diagnostics to show, measure and protect ads. Where the law requires it, Google’s consent message asks your choice before personalised ads are shown; you can change it any time in Settings → Privacy choices. On iPhone you can change tracking permission in iOS Settings. See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Buying Remove Ads stops ads between games. Reward videos stay available and are always optional.
5. Purchases (Apple, Google, RevenueCat)
Payments are processed by Apple or Google; we never see your payment details. RevenueCat records which purchases belong to your app installation (a random ID, or your friend code if you have one) so they can be restored.
6. Our service providers
- Google LLC: Firebase (Firestore database, Cloud Functions, Authentication, Cloud Messaging, Remote Config) and AdMob / User Messaging Platform.
- Unity Technologies: Unity Ads, which may fill ad requests through AdMob mediation.
- RevenueCat, Inc.: purchase management.
- Apple Inc. and Google LLC: app stores, iCloud and Android backup.
Some providers process data in the United States and other countries. Transfers from the EEA/UK rely on the providers’ Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
7. Public information and safety
Your username, avatar, titles and best scores are visible to other players on leaderboards and to friends. Usernames are filtered for offensive words and personal information. Any player can report a username or block another player; reported names may be hidden until reviewed. Please don’t use your real name.
8. How long we keep data
Account data stays until you delete it. Inactive accounts (no game played for 24 months) may be deleted. Reports are kept up to 12 months. Data in the stores, iCloud or Google backup follows their own settings.
9. Your rights and choices
- Delete: Settings → Delete account and data erases your account and data on our servers and your device immediately. You can also email us with the Support ID shown when you contact support.
- Access, correct, export, object or restrict: email us; we answer within 30 days (45 days for US state requests).
- Change your username: on your Profile.
- Ads: Settings → Privacy choices (where available) and iOS tracking settings.
- Notifications: Settings → Notifications or your device settings.
US state privacy rights
Residents of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Iowa, Delaware, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee, Minnesota, Maryland, Indiana, Kentucky, Rhode Island and other states with privacy laws may request access, deletion, correction and portability, and may opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information and targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information for money; ad networks’ use of identifiers may count as “sharing”, which you can opt out of in Settings → Privacy choices or iOS tracking settings. You can use an authorised agent. If we deny a request you may appeal by replying to our answer; if the appeal is denied you may contact your state attorney general. We will not discriminate against you for using these rights. Players under 18 never receive targeted ads.
EEA, UK and Switzerland
You have the rights described in the GDPR/UK GDPR and may complain to your data protection authority.
10. Children
The game is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13: under-13 players have no online features and see only child-directed ads, which rely on the internal-operations exception of the US COPPA rule. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
11. Security
Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Our database only lets each account change its own data and keeps private data readable only by its owner. No method of storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.
12. Changes
We will update this policy when our practices change and show the new effective date. Significant changes will be announced in the game.
