Syllablitz Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This policy explains what data Syllablitz ("the app") collects, why, and how it's used. It's written to match exactly what's declared in the app's App Store privacy disclosures — nothing here should surprise you if you've read that.

Data we collect directly

DataWhyWhere it goes
Display nameShown next to your score on level leaderboardsStored in Apple's CloudKit, tied to your leaderboard entries
Score, level code, avatar selectionTo populate the leaderboard for the level you playedStored in Apple's CloudKit

We do not require an account, email, or any other identifying information to play. The name field is optional and entirely under your control — you choose what to enter.

Data collected by advertising (Google AdMob)

Syllablitz shows ads through Google's AdMob network. When you allow tracking permission (via Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt), AdMob may collect:

DataPurpose
Device advertising identifierAd targeting and measurement
Approximate location (from IP address)General regional ad targeting
App interaction data (taps, launches)Ad performance and analytics
Ads you've been shownAd measurement and frequency
Device performance dataAd display optimization, analytics
Crash logsDiagnosing and fixing technical issues (not tied to your identity)

If you decline the tracking permission prompt, AdMob still serves ads, but without using your device's advertising identifier for personalized targeting.

Google's own data practices are documented at policies.google.com/privacy.

In-app purchases

The "Remove Ads" purchase is processed entirely through Apple's StoreKit. We never see or collect your payment information — Apple handles that directly.

What we don't collect

We do not collect your email address, phone number, physical address, contacts, photos, health data, or the actual words you build during gameplay. Only your final score per round is transmitted, never a record of individual words.

Children's Privacy

Syllablitz is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at the email below and we'll remove it.

Your choices

Ad tracking: You can change your App Tracking Transparency choice anytime in your device's Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

Leaderboard data: Since leaderboard entries aren't tied to an account, we can't look up or delete an individual entry by request — but entries are just a name and score, not personal information beyond what you chose to enter.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
