Dye & Tide is made by Tidejar Games ("we", "us"). We are the controller of the personal data described here. Contact: jonas.b3n@gmail.com.
Who we are: Yassine Benchekroun, an independent developer publishing as Tidejar Games. Postal address: 30 N Gould Street, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA. Email: jonas.b3n@gmail.com.
This stays on your phone until you uninstall the game or clear its data.
We use the following providers. Each processes data on our behalf or, where noted, as an independent controller under its own privacy policy.
| Service | What is processed | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication | A random player ID created when you first go online; installation ID; device and app information. | To link your cloud backup and leaderboard entry to you without an account. |
| Cloud Save | A copy of your game progress, linked to the player ID. | Backup and restore of progress (for example after reinstalling). |
| Remote Config | Player ID, app version, platform, approximate country derived from your IP address. | To deliver game settings such as prices in coins, ad pacing and events without an app update. |
| Leaderboards | Player ID, an automatically generated nickname, your Daily Tide move count. | The daily leaderboard. Other players see the nickname and move count only. |
| Analytics | Gameplay events (for example level started, completed, hint used, purchase made), session information, device model, OS, language, approximate country. | To understand which puzzles are too hard or too easy and to fix problems. Only with your consent where the law requires it, and you can switch it off. |

Ads are delivered through Unity LevelPlay, which chooses an ad from several ad networks ("mediation"). The networks we use are Unity Ads and ironSource Ads, and, if enabled, Google AdMob. If we add a network we will list it here.
To show, cap and measure ads and to prevent fraud, these companies process: your device's advertising identifier (Google Advertising ID on Android, IDFA on iPhone when you allow tracking), IP address and approximate location derived from it, device and network information, the app you are using, and how you interact with ads.
The ad networks act as independent controllers for their own use of this data. Their policies:
When you buy something (for example Remove Ads or the Tide Pass), Google Play or the App Store handles the payment under its own terms. RevenueCat receives the purchase receipt, product, price, currency, date, a random app user ID and device information, so it can confirm the purchase, restore it later and tell the game what you own. We never receive your payment card details.
Dye & Tide is a general-audience game and is not directed to children under 13 (or under the age of digital consent in your country, up to 16 in parts of the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has used the game and data was collected, contact us and we will delete it.
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR or US state laws), you can ask to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal data, object to or restrict its use, and withdraw consent. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
To delete your data, email jonas.b3n@gmail.com with the subject "Data deletion" and include the Player ID shown in the game under Settings > Privacy (if you can't find it, tell us your device model and roughly when you installed the game). We will delete your cloud save, leaderboard entries and analytics data held by Unity, ask RevenueCat to delete your purchase profile, and confirm within 30 days. Uninstalling the game removes the data stored on your phone. Purchases themselves stay on record with Google or Apple.
Our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where data leaves the EEA or UK, they use safeguards recognised by law, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
All network traffic from the game is encrypted (HTTPS/TLS). Data is stored with our providers using their security measures. No method is perfectly secure, but we only keep what the game needs.
If we change this policy we will update the effective date above and, for important changes, tell you in the game.
