Privacy Policy — Climbly

Effective date: 2026-07-13

Climbly is a single-player and local pass-and-play board game. The game itself plays offline — there is no online multiplayer, no account, and no sign-in (none is required or offered). The only time Climbly uses the network is to fetch the ads described below.

What we store

On your device only:

• Your sound, vibration, and game-rule settings.
• Per-player scores, win/loss records, and a local match history, keyed by the player names you enter on the new-game screen.
• The player names you last used (to pre-fill the new-game screen).

This data lives in standard Android shared preferences, never leaves your device, and can be erased any time via Players → reset, Stats → reset, or by uninstalling.

What we do NOT do

• No accounts, no sign-in, no profile fetched from anywhere.
• No analytics or crash reporting.
• No personalized ads and no ad tracking — the ads we show are non-personalized (see below).
• We do not read or use the device Advertising ID. The app removes that permission from the build.
• We do not sell your data, and we do not collect personal data such as your name, email, contacts, or location for our own use.

Ads

Climbly shows ads to keep the game free. Ads are provided by Google AdMob (Google's mobile advertising service). We show a small banner on menu screens and an occasional full-screen ad between games. Ads never appear during a game.

Because Climbly is designed for families, all ads are:

• Non-personalized — they are based on the current screen and rough context, not on any profile of you or your activity. Climbly requests non-personalized ads only.
• Age-appropriate — limited to content rated suitable for general audiences ("G").
• Served without the device Advertising ID.

To deliver these ads, Google's Mobile Ads SDK collects and shares a limited amount of data — principally device or other identifiers and approximate (IP-based) location — used for ad delivery and for fraud prevention, security, and legal compliance. This data is transmitted over an encrypted connection. Climbly does not receive or store this data itself. Google's handling of it is governed by the Google Privacy Policy; see also how Google uses information from AdMob.

Permissions used

• Internet — required by the Google Mobile Ads SDK to fetch ads. It is not used for any other purpose.
• Vibration — haptic feedback (toggleable in Settings).

Younger users

The game itself is suitable for all ages. Climbly does not collect personal data from anyone, and the ads shown are non-personalized and age-appropriate as described above, in line with Google Play's Families ads requirements for audiences that may include minors.
