Spell Tracer
What we collect, why, and how it's handled.
Last updated: November 2, 2026
Spell Tracer is a word game. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app collects, why, and how it is handled.
The game does not require you to create an account, and it does not ask for your name, email address, or other personal contact details. We aim to collect only what is necessary to run the game, keep it stable, and improve it.
Spell Tracer has no sign-up and no login. It does not collect your name, email, contacts, photos, or microphone. The one exception is location, which the My Sky feature asks for and uses only on your phone (see d) below). Your game progress and coin balance are stored on your device.
To understand how the game is played and to keep it working, the app automatically collects:
This data is tied to a random, app-generated identifier — not to your name, email, or Apple ID.
For advertising, the app may also use your device's advertising identifier — IDFA on iOS or the Advertising ID (AAID) on Android — subject to your choices. See "5. Advertising" below.
When you make an in-app purchase in Spell Tracer, the payment is processed by the Apple App Store. We do not receive or store your card number or full payment details. We use RevenueCat to validate and record the purchase so the game can grant what you bought. Coins are added to the balance stored on your device.
My Sky, the feature that shows you the constellations overhead, asks for your phone's location. My Sky uses your location only on your phone, while the app is open, to show the sky above you; it is never sent to us or anyone else. The app keeps only the latitude of your last position on your phone, so the Moon and the sky still look right when location is off, and nothing else. If you say no, My Sky shows an approximate sky worked out on your phone from its time zone. You can change the permission at any time in your phone's Settings.
We use the information above to:
We use Google Firebase (Google Analytics for Firebase, and Crashlytics for crash diagnostics) to understand how the app is used and to keep it stable. These tools may collect usage patterns, device data, and interactions with the app.
Spell Tracer displays third-party ads served by Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads) on both iOS and Android. To show ads and measure how they perform, the app and Google may use your device's advertising identifier — the IDFA on iOS and the Advertising ID (AAID) on Android — and related ad data.
Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) governs iOS only. On iOS, if you allow tracking at the ATT prompt, the advertising identifier is used to show personalized ads and for cross-app measurement. If you decline, ads are still shown, but they are not personalized using the identifier. You can change this at any time in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking. ATT does not apply on Android.
We advertise Spell Tracer on Meta's platforms (Facebook and Instagram). So that we can tell which ads actually lead to installs, the app uses the Meta SDK to send Meta a small number of app events — for example, that the app was installed or opened — together with your device's advertising identifier where permitted. Meta uses this to attribute installs to our campaigns and to measure how they perform. This is measurement of our own advertising; it does not mean ads from Meta are shown inside Spell Tracer.
Meta acts as an independent controller for this data and handles it under its own terms. See Meta's Privacy Policy.
The ad choices below apply here too. On iOS, if you decline the App Tracking Transparency prompt, we tell Meta not to use the advertising identifier for tracking. On Android, deleting your Advertising ID removes the identifier this measurement relies on.
Opting out does not remove ads — you will still see ads, they just won't be personalized using the advertising identifier. You can exercise other privacy rights by contacting us at the support email below.
Under some US state privacy laws, use of the advertising identifier for personalized ads may be considered "sharing" of personal information; we do not otherwise sell personal information.
If you are in the EEA or UK, we ask for your consent using Google's consent framework (the User Messaging Platform, or UMP) before any ad-related processing takes place. Ads are not personalized without your consent. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via Settings → Privacy Options inside the app.
That consent also governs the campaign measurement described above: if you have not consented to information being stored on or read from your device and to ad-performance measurement, the Meta SDK is not started and no app events are sent to Meta. Because this is decided when the app starts, a change to your consent takes effect the next time you open Spell Tracer.
Google/AdMob is an independent advertising partner that processes this data under its own policies. See Google's Privacy Policy and its how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services page.
Spell Tracer does not send your gameplay to any AI service, and it does not store your game content on our servers. Your progress and coin balance live on your device.
We do not sell your personal data. We share limited data only with service providers who help us run the game:
Firebase, RevenueCat and our infrastructure providers act as service providers: they only receive the data necessary to perform their functions, and are contractually required to protect it and use it solely to provide those services to us.
Google (AdMob) and Meta are different. They are independent advertising partners, not service providers acting only on our behalf, and they process the data described in section 5 for their own advertising purposes under their own policies. Your controls over that data are the ad choices and consent options described in section 5.
Spell Tracer is a general-audience game and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it.
You can stop all further collection at any time by deleting the app from your device, which also removes the game progress and coin balance stored on it. Usage and diagnostic data held by our analytics providers is retained according to their standard retention policies and is then deleted or anonymized.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, or deletion of, the limited diagnostic data associated with your device's random identifier. To make a request, contact us at the address below.
We take reasonable measures to protect information, but no system can be completely secure.
Your data may be processed in countries other than your own, where data-protection laws may differ.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
