Last updated: 6 October 2026

DRAFT for the developer's review. Items in [square brackets] must be confirmed before this page is published or entered in Google Play. This is not legal advice.

Twikkle ("we", "the app") is a casual game app with trivia (CrackIt), map (PinIt) and hidden-object (FindIt) games, a personal pet and private rooms for friends. Contact: shieldon.software@gmail.com.

Who can use Twikkle

Twikkle is for people aged 13 and over. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, contact us and we will delete it.

Advertising

Twikkle shows optional rewarded ads (for example, to earn an extra hint). Ads are provided by Google AdMob, which may use your advertising ID. Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent first and you can change your choice in the app settings. You can also reset or limit your advertising ID in your phone settings.

Who we share data with

We do not sell your personal data. We use these service providers to run the app: Supabase (accounts, cloud save and rooms; servers in Mumbai, India), Google AdMob (ads) and [crash-reporting provider]. They process data only to provide their service to us. We may also disclose data if the law requires it.

How long we keep data

We keep your account data while your account exists. If you delete your account, we delete your profile, progress, pet and cloud save. Crash reports are kept for a limited time [period to confirm].

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live (for example the EU/UK, India or California) you may have additional rights under local law. Contact us to use them.

Security

Data is sent over encrypted connections. Each account can only read and change its own cloud data. No system is perfectly secure, so please choose a strong password and keep your recovery code safe.

International transfers

Our providers may process data in countries other than yours.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the date above and, for important changes, tell you in the app.
