Privacy,
without friction.

01

About this policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the Android app Tactile Loop (the “App”) handles information. Tactile Loop is made by an independent neurodivergent developer in the Dallas, Texas area, working to build playful tools for people and to support the neurodivergent community.

The App does not require an account. If you choose optional cloud backup, you sign in with Google and Tactile Loop receives a Google account identifier and display name to connect your progress between your own devices. The App does not request contacts, phone numbers, or precise location.

02

Data stored locally

To make play feel consistent and personalized, the App stores the following information locally on your device:

• completed games, play counts, difficulty, and average completion times;
• game ratings and learned preferences, including favorite or less-preferred games;
• your “My Mix” selections;
• sound, haptic, reduced-motion, and contrast settings; and
• information used to space out rating prompts and interstitial ads.

This local information is used to operate and personalize the App. The developer does not receive it. You can clear it by using Reset Local Progress in the App or by clearing the App’s storage or uninstalling it.

If you choose optional cloud backup, completed games, play counts, difficulty, and completion times are stored with your optional cloud account so they can sync between your devices. You can delete that cloud backup and account in the App at any time. Read the account-deletion instructions.

03

Advertising and third-party processing

The App uses Google AdMob and the Google User Messaging Platform to display interstitial ads and manage privacy consent where required. Google’s Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect or share information such as:

• IP address, which may be used to estimate general location;
• device and advertising identifiers;
• interactions with the App and ads; and
• diagnostic information, including crash and performance data.

Google states that this information may be used for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention. The exact ads and choices available to you can depend on your region, device settings, age signals, and the consent choices you make.

04

Your privacy choices

When a consent message is required in your region, the App asks for your choices before requesting ads. If Google indicates that privacy options must remain available, you can reopen them from Settings → Privacy choices in the App.

You may also limit or reset your device’s advertising ID through Android settings, manage personalized advertising in Google’s My Ad Center, reset local App progress, or uninstall the App.

05

Sharing, sale, and retention

The developer does not sell your personal information and does not share your locally stored gameplay information with other companies. Information processed by Google through its advertising services is governed by Google’s policies and your available consent choices.

Local App information remains on your device until you reset it, clear the App’s storage, or uninstall the App. Optional cloud-backup data is deleted when you use the in-App deletion control. Google determines retention periods for information it processes through AdMob.

This website does not use advertising or developer-added analytics. It is hosted by Netlify, which may process standard connection and server-log information needed to deliver and secure the site under its own privacy policy.

06

Children and families

The App does not ask users for their age or knowingly request names, contact details, or other personal information from children. Parents or guardians who believe a child’s information has been handled inappropriately may contact the developer using the details below.

07

Security and your rights

Reasonable measures are used to limit data handling, including keeping gameplay preferences on your device and using encrypted network connections provided by the Google Mobile Ads SDK. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights relating to personal information processed about you. You can delete optional cloud-backup data directly in the App; see Delete cloud backup for instructions. You may still contact the developer with questions.

08

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the App, its services, or legal requirements change. The revised policy will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated in the App when appropriate.
