Ant to Everest privacy policy

Who this covers

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

What the app stores on your phone

The setup screen: the player names you typed, who’s a person and who’s the computer, and how long a game you like.

Today’s Five results for the day: who played and how many they got right. A new day replaces them.

All of that is saved on your phone, inside the app. It isn’t sent to us and we can’t see it. A game in progress isn’t saved at all, so closing the app starts fresh.

Ads

Ant to Everest shows a short ad from Google AdMob between rounds, on Android and on iPhone. Never in the first five minutes of playing, never more than one every five minutes, and never in the middle of a move.

We tell AdMob the app is directed at children. That means the ads are never personalized, nothing is used to build a profile for advertising, and only ads rated for general audiences are allowed. The app also leaves out the phone’s advertising ID, and on iPhone it never asks to track you.

To show an ad and catch ad fraud, AdMob still collects some information about the device, like an approximate location worked out from the IP address and diagnostic information about how the ad performed. In the words the Google Play listing uses, that can include device or other IDs, approximate location, app interactions and diagnostics.

Google handles that data under its own policies: policies.google.com/privacy and policies.google.com/technologies/families. We don’t get a copy of it, and we can’t tie it to you or your child.

Sharing a result

Sharing sits behind a grown-up check. When a grown-up shares a Today’s Five result, the app hands your phone’s share menu a short line of text: the day, a row of pictures with checks, and the score. It never includes a name. Where it goes from there is up to you, and we don’t see it.

What the app doesn’t do

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

There’s no analytics, no crash reporting of our own, no chat, no purchases and no links out of the app. The only outside code that sends anything is AdMob.

The app doesn’t ask for your location, camera, microphone or contacts.

Kids

Ant to Everest is made for kids 6 to 9 and the grown-ups who play with them. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone, children included.

If you think a child has emailed us something personal, tell us and we’ll delete it.

Deleting your data

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

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.
