Clear to Dock privacy policy

Last updated September 30, 2026

Short version: there is no account and no analytics, and your scores and medals stay on your device. The game is free because it shows ads from Google AdMob, and AdMob collects some information about your device to do that. Most of this page is about that part.

Who this covers

This policy covers the Clear to Dock app, made by Pettigrew Lab LLC, on every device it runs on.

What the game stores on your device

Your best score and medals for each station in each mode, your result for Today's run, your settings (sound, graphics, Cadet mode), whether you've seen the first-run hint, and whether you bought Remove ads.

All of it is saved on your device, inside the app. It isn't sent to us and we can't see it.

On Android, it's included in your device's backup if you have backup turned on, under your Google account. On iPhone and iPad, it's part of your device's own backup if you use one, under your Apple account.

Ads

Clear to Dock shows ads from Google AdMob: one after a run ends at most, never after your first run of a session, and no more than one every three minutes. There are no banner ads and no ads during a run.

To show and measure those ads, and to catch ad fraud, AdMob collects information about your device. That includes your device’s advertising ID, an approximate location worked out from your IP address, how you interact with the ads, and diagnostic information about how they performed. In Google Play’s Data safety section, those are listed as device or other IDs, approximate location, app interactions and diagnostics.

Google handles that data under its own privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy. We don't get a copy of it, and we can't tie it to you.

Where the law gives you a choice, including the EU, the UK, Switzerland and several US states, the game asks before any ads load. If you say no, the ads you see aren't personalized. You can change your answer any time under Settings, Ad privacy choices.

On iPhone and iPad, the game may also ask permission to track. If you say no, ads still show, they just aren't personalized to you.

You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device’s settings whenever you want.

Remove ads

Remove ads is a one-time purchase through Google Play or the App Store. They handle the payment under their own privacy policies, and we never see your card or your store account.

The game keeps a note on your device that you bought it, and checks with the store so Restore purchases works on a new device.

What the game doesn't do

There's no account and nothing to sign into, so we don't have your name or your email unless you write to us yourself.

There's no analytics, no crash reporting of our own and no tracking by us. The only outside code that sends anything is AdMob, and the store's own purchase code.

The game doesn't ask for your location, camera, microphone, photos or contacts.

Kids

Clear to Dock is made for teens and adults, ages 13 and up, and isn't directed at children under 13. Ads in the game are limited to ones rated for teens.

Deleting your data

Uninstall the game or clear its data in your device's settings, and everything it saved is gone. There's nothing on our side to delete, because nothing was sent to us.

For the data AdMob collected, reset your advertising ID, or use Google’s controls at myadcenter.google.com.

If you email us

If you write to the address below, we have your email and whatever you put in the message, and we keep it only as long as it takes to answer you.

If this changes

If a future version collects anything new, this page is updated before that version ships, and the date at the top changes.
