Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 29, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Wavelark (the "App"), published by Chicory Mantel, handles information when you use it on your iPhone. Please read it carefully. By using the App you agree to the practices described here.

1. Summary

• Your play itself stays on your device: sky progress, best scores, settings and the share cards you create are stored locally and are never uploaded by us.
• The App shows advertisements and uses an attribution service. To do that, the third-party SDKs listed in Section 3 collect certain device and usage data, some of which may be used to track you across other companies' apps and websites, only if you allow tracking in the iOS prompt (Section 4).
• You can change your tracking choice at any time in iOS Settings.

2. Data We Collect

The categories below follow the App Privacy "nutrition label" published on the App Store product page. They are collected by the advertising and attribution SDKs built into the App, not by servers we operate.

2.1 Collected, linked to you, and may be used to track you

• Device ID — the advertising identifier (IDFA, only with your permission) and vendor identifier. Used for third-party advertising, developer advertising and marketing, analytics, and app functionality.
• Advertising Data — which ads were shown, viewed or tapped, and ad performance. Used for third-party advertising, developer advertising, analytics, and app functionality.
• Product Interaction — app launches, taps and screens used, in-app actions. Used for third-party advertising, developer advertising, analytics, and app functionality.
• User ID — an anonymous identifier generated by the SDKs. Used for third-party advertising, analytics, and app functionality.
• Coarse Location — approximate location derived from your IP address (never GPS; the App does not request location permission). Used for third-party advertising, developer advertising, analytics, and app functionality.
• Performance Data — launch time, responsiveness, energy and technical diagnostics. Used for third-party advertising, developer advertising, analytics, and app functionality.
• Other Data — device model, operating system version, language, network type, and similar technical attributes. Used for third-party advertising, developer advertising, analytics, and app functionality.

2.2 Collected but not used to track you

• Crash Data (linked to you) — crash logs. Used for analytics, app functionality, and third-party advertising.
• Other Diagnostic Data (not linked to you) — technical diagnostics about the SDKs' own operation. Used for analytics, app functionality, developer advertising, and third-party advertising.
• Other Usage Data (not linked to you) — aggregated statistics about how the App is used. Used for analytics and third-party advertising.
• Customer Support (not linked to you) — the content of messages you choose to send us by email. Used for app functionality (answering you).

2.3 Data that stays on your device

The following is stored only on your device and is not part of any category above. We never upload it, and the SDKs do not access it:

• Your progress through the five skies, best scores, total runs and taps;
• Your music, sound and haptics settings;
• The share cards (images) the App creates at the end of a run. They are kept in the App's private storage; a card is written to your Photos library only when you tap "Save to Photos", and the system share sheet is used only when you tap "Share".

The App does not require an account, and it does not ask for your name, email address, contacts, photos, microphone or camera.

3. Third-Party Services

The App includes the following software development kits (SDKs). Each provider processes the data described in Section 2 under its own privacy policy:

• Adjust (attribution and campaign measurement) — https://www.adjust.com/terms/privacy-policy/
• AppLovin MAX (advertising mediation) — https://www.applovin.com/privacy/. MAX may pass ad requests to the advertising networks it mediates (for example Google AdMob, Meta Audience Network, Unity Ads, Pangle, InMobi, Moloco, Bigo Ads, Chartboost, Mintegral, Fyber, BidMachine). Each network handles the data it receives under its own privacy policy, and their SDKs may only read your advertising identifier if you allowed tracking.

We do not sell your personal information. Data shared with these providers is shared for the purposes stated in Section 2.

4. App Tracking Transparency

When you first open the App, iOS shows a system prompt asking whether to allow the App to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites.

• If you allow tracking, the SDKs may access your advertising identifier (IDFA) and use the data in Section 2.1 to show you more relevant ads and to measure which campaigns led you to install the App.
• If you ask the App not to track, the IDFA is not available. You will still see ads, but they will not be personalized across apps, and the App works exactly the same.

You can change your choice at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking on your device.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

• Data held by the third-party providers is retained according to their policies linked above. To exercise rights over that data (access, deletion, opt-out of sale or sharing where applicable), you can contact the provider directly or email us and we will forward your request.
• Data stored on your device can be erased at any time with Settings → Reset Progress inside the App (this clears progress, settings and the cards the App keeps), or by deleting the App.

6. Children

The App is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your region), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

7. Security

Data on your device is protected by the standard iOS security measures. Data transmitted by the SDKs is sent over encrypted connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to processing, or to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. To make a request, email us at the address below. We may need to work with the providers in Section 3 to fulfil it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the App or the SDKs it includes change. The date at the top shows when it was last revised. Continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
