Tintsmith

Privacy policy

last updated 15 October 2026

Tintsmith has no developer-operated account or game backend. Game progress stays on your device or in your Apple iCloud account. The free edition uses Google Mobile Ads and Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP); their advertising and consent data are described below. Complete removes ads and ad offers.

Advertising and privacy choices

There are no banners or ads during puzzles. Eligible free players may see occasional ads after Journey wins or choose to watch an ad for 30 minutes of active play without ads. Help and retries never require an ad or payment. Offline or unavailable ads never prevent play.

Google’s advertising SDK may process your IP address (including approximate location), device or advertising identifiers, advertising interactions, performance information, crash reports and other diagnostic information for advertising and measurement. Advertising identifiers are subject to Apple’s tracking permission. Declining tracking does not mean that no advertising data is processed. Google’s consent system processes information needed to present and remember applicable privacy choices.

The app checks purchase ownership before advertising requests and uses Google’s consent system to present applicable privacy choices and Apple’s tracking-permission request when that configured sequence requires it, before requesting ads. When required, Settings offers Advertising privacy choices to review your preferences. You can change tracking permission in iOS Settings. Buying or restoring Complete stops subsequent ad requests; it does not erase information already processed by Google.

See Google’s privacy policy and Google’s iOS advertising data disclosure. No Firebase, mediation network or separate gameplay analytics service is included.

Progress and collections

Progress, named colors, boards, restoration records, and settings are saved on your device. Supported progress and collections may synchronize between your devices through your Apple iCloud account when sync is available. Unfinished Contracts, mixtures, Color studies and settings remain device-local. Settings shows sync availability; an unavailable connection does not prevent local play.

Apple operates iCloud under its own service and privacy terms. Tintsmith does not send your iCloud saves to a server operated by us. Avoid entering private information into color or board names.

Exports and sharing

You can choose to export supported progress or share a creation. Exported files can include the names you give colors and boards. You choose their destination and control any copies you save or send. Progress exports exclude purchases, unfinished Contracts, mixtures, Color studies and settings.

Purchases

Apple processes payments. The app reads verified StoreKit transactions to determine which products you own; we do not receive your payment details.

Intended audience

Tintsmith is a general-audience puzzle game and is not specifically directed at children. Advertising and privacy choices remain subject to applicable requirements and Apple’s device and account restrictions.

Support

If you email us, we receive the address and information you choose to include. We use those messages to answer your request and keep them only as needed to resolve and follow up on it. You may request deletion by contacting us, subject to any applicable retention obligations. Please do not send passwords, payment details, or other sensitive information.

Managing your data

Settings provides progress export, import, and reset controls. Review the reset explanation before confirming. Removing the app does not necessarily remove iCloud data, device backups, files you exported, or copies you shared. Manage those copies through the relevant Apple service or destination. Synchronization is not a separate backup history.

Changes and contact

Any policy update will appear here with a new date. Contact a.alameldien@gmail.com for questions or support-message deletion requests.
