About this policy
Who we are
Zap Shock is a party game for iPhone made by Yakov Kuznetsova ("we", "us"). Friends each put a finger on the screen and the app picks one at random.
This policy explains what information the app handles, why, who helps us with it, and the choices you have. If anything here is unclear, write to us at [email protected].
01
What stays on your phone
Some things never leave your device:
- Your game. Finger positions are used only while a round is running, to draw the rings and pick a winner. They are never stored or sent anywhere.
- Your settings. Sound and vibration preferences, whether you've seen the introduction, and how many times you've opened the app are saved on the device so the app remembers them.
Deleting the app removes all of this.
02
What is collected
You give us nothing. There is no account, profile or form in the app. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write.
Collected automatically by the app and the service providers listed below:
| Device information | Phone model, iOS version, app version, language and region settings.To run the app and keep it working across devices. |
|---|---|
| App events | That the app was installed and opened, and when a free trial or subscription starts.To measure which of our ads lead to installs and subscriptions. |
| Purchase information | Which plan you chose, its price and currency, trial and renewal status, and a random ID that our subscription provider creates for your device.To unlock Zap Shock Pro and keep it active. |
| Advertising identifier (IDFA) | Only if you allow tracking when Apple asks.To connect an install to the ad that led to it. |
| IP address | Seen by our providers when the app connects to them, and used to estimate your country.For delivery, fraud prevention and regional pricing reports. |
| Crash information | Technical details when the app crashes.To find and fix problems. |
None of this includes your name, contacts, photos, location from GPS, microphone or camera. The app does not ask for those permissions.
03
Who helps us
We use a small number of service providers. Each one receives only what it needs for its job.
Apple
Distributes the app and handles every payment, subscription renewal and refund through your Apple Account. See Apple's privacy policy.
RevenueCat
Manages subscriptions: it checks your App Store purchase and tells the app whether Pro is active. It receives purchase information, device information and a random app user ID. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.
TikTok (TikTok Business SDK)
Measures how our TikTok ad campaigns perform. It receives device information, app events (install, app opens, trial starts and subscriptions with their price), your IP address and, only if you allow tracking, your advertising identifier. It may also collect crash information about its own code. See TikTok's privacy policy.
We don't use any other analytics, advertising networks or social logins, and the app shows no ads.
04
Tracking and your choices
The first time you finish the introduction, iPhone shows Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt asking whether Zap Shock may track you.
- If you allow it, TikTok receives your advertising identifier, so it can link your install to the ad you saw.
- If you don't, the identifier is never accessed. TikTok still receives app events without it, which are used only for overall campaign measurement, not to follow you across other companies' apps or websites.
You can change your answer at any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
Apple may also report anonymous, aggregated install results to ad networks through SKAdNetwork. That is Apple's own privacy-preserving system and doesn't identify you.
05
Selling and sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Under some laws, including those of California and other US states, giving an advertising partner your advertising identifier for ad measurement may count as "sharing" for targeted advertising. That only happens if you allow tracking, and you can stop it with the Tracking setting above.
06
How long it's kept
Because there is no account, we don't keep a profile about you. Information on your phone stays until you delete the app. Our providers keep what they receive for as long as their own policies allow, and purchase records may be kept as long as tax and accounting laws require. Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to answer you.
07
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example in the EU, UK or California), you may have the right to ask what information we hold about you, to get a copy, to correct it, to delete it, or to object to how it's used. Email [email protected] and we'll reply within 30 days. Since there's no account, we may ask for details that help find your records, such as the date and plan of your purchase.
For people in the EU and UK, we rely on these legal bases: contract to provide your subscription, consent for tracking with your advertising identifier, and legitimate interests for keeping the app working, preventing fraud and measuring our advertising in aggregate. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Subscriptions are managed by Apple. To cancel, open Settings › your name › Subscriptions on your iPhone. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
08
Where it's processed
Our providers may process information in the United States and other countries outside your own. Where the law requires it, these transfers are covered by safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
09
Security
Information sent from the app to our providers travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS). No system is perfectly secure, but we keep what we collect to a minimum so there is little to protect.
10
Children
Zap Shock is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we'll delete it.
11
Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles information, we'll update this page and the date at the top. Significant changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
