Bugz Squish โ€” Privacy Policy

The short version: no ads, no accounts, never sold โ€” just anonymous, aggregate stats to make the game better.

Effective date: June 18, 2026

No ads. No accounts. Your data is never sold. Bugz Squish collects only anonymous, aggregate usage โ€” to make the game better โ€” never linked to you, and never used to track you across other apps.

What we collect

Anonymous, aggregate usage โ€” and nothing that identifies you. To make the game better, Bugz Squish measures things like which levels are played and replayed most, which are hardest, and which get shared or saved. This is collected anonymously and in aggregate, using Apple's built-in App Analytics and TelemetryDeck. It is never linked to you, your name, your device, or any advertising identifier; it is never sold or shared; it is never used for advertising; and it never follows you to other apps or websites.

No accounts, no profile. There is no account to create, no email to enter, and no sign-in. We don't build a profile of you โ€” the usage we measure cannot be traced back to any individual.

You can turn it off. Open Settings → “Share anonymous usage” to opt out at any time. It is on by default; switch it off and the app stops sending usage measurements.

Plays offline. Bugz Squish plays fully offline โ€” in airplane mode, on a plane, anywhere. The only thing that ever leaves your device is the anonymous, aggregate usage described above, and only when you're online and haven't opted out.

What stays on your device

Bugz Squish saves your game progress only on your device, using Apple's standard on-device storage. This includes:

Your saved progress never leaves your iPhone. It is not linked to your name or identity, it is never uploaded anywhere, and it is deleted automatically when you delete the app. Because there is no account or cloud save, deleting the app erases your progress permanently โ€” there is nothing to restore from a server, by design.

The in-app purchase

Bugz Squish is free to download and includes a one-time optional purchase to unlock the full game. Apple processes that purchase, not us. Payment, card, and account details are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. Bugz Squish never sees, receives, or stores any of it โ€” the app only learns a single yes/no: whether the unlock has been purchased.

If you reinstall Bugz Squish or get a new device, you can re-unlock the full game at no extra charge using Restore Purchases in the app, which checks your purchase with Apple. We keep no record of your purchase ourselves.

Advertising & tracking

No ads. Bugz Squish carries no advertising networks, no advertising identifier (IDFA), and no App Tracking Transparency prompt โ€” because it never tracks you across other companies' apps or websites. The anonymous usage described above is measured with privacy-first tools (Apple App Analytics and TelemetryDeck) that don't identify you. There are no social-media SDKs and no third-party advertising software.

Children

Bugz Squish is an all-ages puzzle game rated 9+. The usage it measures is anonymous and identifies no one โ€” there is nothing in it that could identify or be used to contact a child, or any player. The game asks for no personal information from anyone.

Changes to this policy

The promises that won't change: no ads, no accounts, your data is never sold, nothing is linked to you, and we never track you across other apps. If our practices change โ€” for example, the kinds of usage we measure โ€” we'll post the updated policy here with a new effective date and keep the App Store privacy label in sync.
