This policy covers every game for Android made by Sailor Lux, an independent developer ("we", "us"): Cozy Critter Sort, Critter Hop and Sleepy Critters (together, "the games"). All our games are made for players of all ages, including children, and follow the same privacy rules. The differences between games are listed in What each game does.
At a glance
Made for all ages. No account, no sign-in and no chat. We never ask for a name, email or phone number.
Game progress is saved only on your device. We do not run servers that receive it.
Ads come from Google AdMob, are family-friendly and are never personalised. The games never use the advertising ID.
Optional purchases are handled entirely by Google Play. Everything can be played without paying.
No analytics or tracking tools. We do not collect, sell or share personal information ourselves.
Children and families
Our games are designed for everyone, including children. Nobody, child or adult, has to give any personal information to play: there is no account, no chat or messaging, no way to contact other players and no links to social networks. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children or from anyone else. Parents and guardians with any question can contact us at the email address below.
Information stored on your device
Each game saves its game data (such as progress, in-game currency, unlocked items, power-ups, settings like music and sound, and, where the game asks for it, the date you accepted this policy) locally on the device. This data is never sent to us. If Android backup is turned on for the device's Google account, Android may include this data in the device backup; that backup is managed by Google under its own privacy policy.
Advertising
The games show ads through Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK). Optional reward videos are always the player's choice. Where a game also shows automatic ads, they are short, infrequent and only between levels or runs, never over the game itself. Cozy Critter Sort and Sleepy Critters also show a small banner in its own strip at the top of the screen, away from the game controls (see below). Critter Hop also shows one small banner ad in a strip at the bottom of the screen, below the game area and never over it. The exact ads in each game are listed below.
Because the games are for all ages, every ad request is marked as directed to children and to users under the age of consent, limited to family-appropriate (G-rated) content and not personalised (no interest-based advertising or remarketing). The games do not use the Android advertising ID. To show ads, measure them and prevent fraud, Google may collect and process limited technical information: the IP address (used to estimate an approximate location), device identifiers such as the app set ID, device and app information, ad interactions and diagnostics, as described in how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
In-app purchases
Some games offer optional purchases through Google Play Billing, such as packs of in-game currency, a one-time welcome offer or "Remove Ads". In-game currency can also be earned simply by playing. Payment is processed entirely by Google Play; we never see or store card or payment details. The game only receives confirmation from Google Play that a purchase was made. Purchases follow the payment settings and parental controls of the Google account on the device, such as requiring authentication for every purchase.
Permissions
The games have internet and network-state access, which they use to communicate with Google Play for purchases and with Google AdMob for ads. They do not access contacts, location, camera, microphone, photos or files. A game that offers reminders asks for Android's permission to show notifications (Critter Hop asks once, after your first run), and works the same without it.
What each game does
Cozy Critter Sort
Ads
Optional reward videos (extra coins after a level, up to 3 videos a day for free coins in the shop, a revive, or a life when none are left), plus at most one short automatic ad every 10 new levels completed, between levels, and a small banner ad in its own strip at the top of the screen. "Remove Ads" turns off the automatic ads and the banner; the optional reward videos stay available.
Purchases
Coin packs, a one-time welcome offer and "Remove Ads".
Reminders
Optional gentle reminder notifications, off until you turn on the bell in Settings (at most two a day, never at night): when your daily gift is waiting and when your lives are full again. They are scheduled on the device itself, no data is sent anywhere, and they can be turned off with the bell in Settings or in Android's notification settings.
Stored on the device
Levels completed and their star marks, coins, helper items, redeemed codes, the daily gifts claimed and accessories unlocked, and settings. Redeem codes are checked on the device and are not sent anywhere. "Reset all progress" in the settings deletes it. The free website demo (first 20 levels) has no ads, purchases or reminders; its progress stays only in your browser.
Critter Hop
Ads
Optional reward videos, always the player's choice: to revive once, to double the berries collected in a run, to get 2 lives when none are left, to get 50 free berries (up to 3 times a day) or for one extra try in a seasonal event. Plus one small banner ad in a strip at the bottom of the screen, below the game area and never over it. There are no full-screen automatic ads.
Purchases
Berry packs and a one-time welcome pack. To protect families, each pack can be bought at most once per day.
Reminders
Two optional gentle reminder notifications, at most one of each a day and never between 22:00 and 08:00: when all your lives are back and when your daily gift and missions are waiting (evening). They are scheduled on the device itself and no data is sent anywhere. Android asks for permission once, after your first run; they can be turned off with the bell in Settings or in Android's notification settings.
Stored on the device
Best distance and your top 10 runs, berries, lives, unlocked critters, power-ups, trails and hats, daily missions and gifts, seasonal event progress (such as Halloween candies), first-time tips, settings and the date you accepted this policy.
Google Play listing
Published under the listing that previously held Tiny Color Kit (package name com.sailorlux.tinycolorkit).
Sleepy Critters
Ads
Optional reward videos: +5 moves when a puzzle runs out of moves, bonus coins after a level, up to 3 small coin gifts a day, or a life when none are left. Plus at most one short automatic ad every 10 new levels completed, between levels and never during a puzzle, and a small banner ad in its own strip at the top of the home, world and map screens (never during a puzzle). "Remove Ads" turns off the automatic ads and the banner; the optional reward videos stay available.
Purchases
Coin packs (to protect families, each pack can be bought at most once a day), a one-time welcome offer and "Remove Ads" (bought once; it also includes some coins and helpers).
Reminders
Optional gentle reminder notifications (at most two a day, never at night): when your lives are full again and when the day's free coins have not been claimed. They are scheduled on the device itself, no data is sent anywhere, and they can be turned off with the bell in Settings or in Android's notification settings.
Stored on the device
Levels completed and stars, coins, helper items, lives, seasonal event progress (such as the Halloween world), settings, simple counters that keep ads to the limits above, Google Play purchase tokens (so a purchase is never counted twice) and the date you accepted this policy. The free website demo (first 20 levels) has no ads, purchases or reminders; its progress stays only in your browser.
Google Play listing
Published under the listing that previously held Tiny Pixel Kit (package name com.sailorlux.tinypixelkit).
Web previews
Free previews of some games may be playable on our website. Previews have no ads and no purchases, and they save progress only in your browser's local storage on your own device.
Sharing of information
We do not collect, sell, rent or share personal information. Ads are provided by Google AdMob and purchases by Google Play, under the Google Privacy Policy.
Keeping or deleting your data
Because progress is stored on the device, you can delete it at any time by clearing the game's data or by uninstalling the game (and, in Cozy Critter Sort, with "Reset all progress"). Purchase records are kept by Google Play in your Google account.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example in the European Union or the United Kingdom), you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data. Because we do not hold personal data about you, there is normally nothing for us to access or delete. If you have any question, contact us.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when a game changes or a new game is added. The effective date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated. Games that ask you to accept this policy will ask again after an important change.
