Animal Sort: Farm Tap Puzzle · TidalAurum, LLC

Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 22, 2026

Animal Sort: Farm Tap Puzzle ("the App") is a casual puzzle game developed and published by TidalAurum, LLC ("TidalAurum", "we", "us"). The App is distributed on the Apple App Store as "Animal Sort: Farm Tap Puzzle" by TidalAurum, LLC under the bundle ID piggyout.nathanlinshuo.com, and on Google Play as "Piggy Out! Animal Escape" by the developer "shuo lin" under the package name com.DefaultCompany.PiggyOut. Both are the same game, and this policy applies to both. It explains what information is handled when you use the App.

Summary

• We do not collect personal data ourselves. There are no accounts and no sign-in, and we do not run our own servers.
• Your level progress, sticker album and settings are stored only on your device.
• The App shows only rewarded video ads that you choose to watch. They are served by Google AdMob, which may process your device's advertising identifier, your IP address and ad interactions.
• The optional "Remove Ads" purchase is processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play; we never receive your payment details.
• We have not added any analytics or tracking SDKs to the App.
• The App is not directed at children under 13.

Information stored on your device

The App saves your level progress, your sticker album, your game settings and whether you own "Remove Ads" only on your device, using the Unity engine's local storage (PlayerPrefs). The App has no accounts, no cloud save and no online backend, so we never receive or keep copies of this information. It is removed when you delete the App. The game can be played offline; an internet connection is needed only to load ads and make purchases.

Advertising by Google AdMob

The App does not show banner ads or ads between levels. It offers only rewarded video ads, which you choose to watch in exchange for a revive or a power-up. These ads are served by Google AdMob through the Google Mobile Ads SDK. When an ad is requested or shown, the SDK may collect the following data and share it with Google:

• Device identifiers, such as the advertising ID on Android. On iOS, the App does not ask for permission to track, so the advertising identifier (IDFA) is not available to the App or to Google.
• IP address, from which an approximate location may be derived.
• Ad interactions, such as ad views, taps and whether an ad was watched to the end.
• Device and diagnostic information, such as device model, operating system version and ad-related performance data.

This data is used to serve and measure ads and for fraud prevention and security. Google's handling of this data is described in the Google Privacy Policy and in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

The App does not show a consent form for advertising (such as Google's User Messaging Platform form), and on iOS it does not show Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt.

Optional purchase

The App offers one optional, one-time purchase, "Remove Ads". Payment is processed entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play under their own terms and privacy policies. We never receive your name, email address, payment card or billing details; the App only records on your device that you own the purchase.

The purchase system is built with Unity In-App Purchasing. Its core library (Unity Gaming Services) may send limited technical information, such as an installation identifier, device type and app version, to Unity Technologies to operate the purchase service. See the Unity Privacy Policy.

Ratings

The App may ask you to rate it, using Google Play's In-App Review on Android or Apple's system rating prompt on iOS. Your rating and review are handled by Google or Apple; we do not receive any personal information from them.

Unity engine diagnostics

The App is built with the Unity engine, which may send crash and diagnostic information, such as device model, operating system version, app version and error details, to Unity Technologies so that the engine can work correctly. This is handled under the Unity Privacy Policy. We have not added any analytics or tracking SDKs of our own, and the App does not send notifications.

Your choices

Ads in the App appear only when you choose to watch one. You can also limit ad personalization for all apps in your device settings:

• Android: open Settings > Google > Ads (on some devices Settings > Privacy > Ads), then choose Reset advertising ID or Delete advertising ID.
• iOS: the App does not request tracking permission and cannot access the IDFA. You can also turn off Allow Apps to Request to Track in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking for all apps.

You can contact us at any time with a privacy question or request.

Data security

Data sent by the Google Mobile Ads SDK, Unity and the store purchase services is encrypted in transit using HTTPS (TLS).

Data retention and deletion

We do not store any of your data on our servers, so there is no data held by us to delete. To remove your game data, delete the App from your device. Data collected by Google, Apple and Unity is kept under their own retention policies.

Children

The App is a general-audience casual puzzle game and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Data sharing

We do not sell your personal data. Information is shared only with Google (AdMob and Google Play), Apple and Unity Technologies as described in this policy.

International users

Data collected by Google, Apple and Unity may be processed on servers in the United States and other countries where they operate.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data, and to object to or restrict its processing. Because we do not hold personal data about you, requests about advertising data can also be made to Google directly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always published on this page, with the date of the last update shown at the top.

October 2026: this policy moved to tidalaurum.com from its earlier Google Sites address. The earlier version mentioned Unity Analytics "if applicable"; the App does not use Unity Analytics.
