Privacy policy
Last updated:
Squeeze! (“the game”) is published by Saxum Magnum Games (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what data the game handles, why, who else processes it and what you can do about it. Questions or requests: support@squeezegame.app.
In short
- You don’t need an account, a name or an email address to play.
- Gameplay statistics are sent only if you agree, and you can turn them off at any time.
- Your career is saved on your device and in your own iCloud; we can’t read it.
- We don’t sell your data and we don’t track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
What we collect and why
Gameplay statistics (only with your consent)
After your first day, Zest asks whether you want to help improve the game. If you say yes, the game sends the following to PostHog (servers in the European Union):
- How you play: tutorial steps, each finished day (profit, sales, price, location, weather, flavor, customer satisfaction, lost sales), the Daily Challenge, duels, streaks, upgrades, franchises, gifts, offers shown, purchases started, completed or failed, ads offered and watched, reminders and live events.
- Player traits: level, days played, money, streak, location, stand level, stand skin, whether you have bought anything, and the game’s language.
- App and device: app version, operating system version, device model, screen size and when the app is opened or closed.
- A random identifier created by the game. It is not linked to your name, email or Apple ID.
We use this to balance the game, fix bugs and decide what to build next. Legal basis: your consent (GDPR art. 6(1)(a)). You can withdraw it at any time in the game’s Settings › Gameplay statistics; from then on nothing is sent. PostHog is configured not to store your IP address, and we keep the statistics for up to 12 months. To have past statistics deleted, write to us.
Advertising (iPhone and iPad, optional)
Rewarded video ads are optional and served by Google AdMob (Google Ireland Ltd.). We request only non-personalized, contextual ads. Google’s consent form manages data-processing choices where required. The game does not request tracking permission or share the advertising identifier (IDFA). Google may process device information, your IP address and how you interact with ads, as described in Google’s privacy policy and how Google uses information from apps. Legal basis: your choice in Google’s consent form. If you never ask for an ad, AdMob shows nothing.
Your saved career (iCloud)
Your career is stored on your device and synced through your private iCloud database so it follows you to your other devices. Apple stores it under your Apple ID; we have no access to it. Starting a new career in Settings erases it on all your devices.
Gifts
When you buy a stand skin for a friend, the game stores a one-time gift code, the skin and your company name in the game’s public iCloud database so your friend can redeem it. Anyone with the code can see that information. Codes are kept so they can’t be redeemed twice.
Notifications
Daily reminders are local notifications scheduled on your device. If you turn them on, the game also registers your device’s push token with our server (Cloudflare Workers, run by Cloudflare, Inc.) together with the environment, platform, language, time zone and app version, so we can send game notices such as new events in your language and at a sensible hour. Legal basis: performing the service you asked for. Turning reminders off deletes the token from our server. We only send game notices, never marketing.
Purchases and Game Center
In-app purchases and the Squeeze Club subscription are processed by Apple; we never see your payment details. We only learn which products your Apple ID owns, to unlock them. Leaderboards and achievements use Game Center, where your Game Center nickname and scores are visible to other players according to your Game Center settings. Both are covered by Apple’s privacy policy.
Suggestions and bug reports
If you send a message from Settings › Suggestions and bugs, the game sends it to PostHog (EU) together with the type you picked, your app version, device model, language, level and game day, so we can reproduce bugs. Your email address goes with it only if you type it in, and only to answer you. Legal basis: your request. We delete these messages when they are no longer needed, or earlier if you ask.
Support emails
If you write to us, we use your email address and message only to answer you, and delete them when they are no longer needed.
