Who we are
Vacuum Sort is made by Berat Seyhan, an independent developer. Contact: beratseyhan@icloud.com.
In short
No account and no sign-in. Your progress stays on your device and in your own iCloud, so it can follow you to your other devices. Ads are provided by Google AdMob. Purchases are handled by Apple and managed through RevenueCat. Installs, play milestones, ad revenue and purchases are measured by Tenjin so we can tell which of our own ads brought players to the game. We run no servers, use no crash-reporting service of our own and do not sell personal data.
Data stored on your device
The game saves your level progress, stars and scores, coins and boosters, settings (language, sound), which tips you have seen, and whether you own “No Ads”. It stays on your device and is never sent to us. If you use iCloud, the game also keeps a copy of your progress, coins and boosters in your own iCloud account (Apple’s iCloud Key-Value Store), so they carry over to your other devices and a reinstall; we cannot read it. It can also be part of your device’s own backup (for example iCloud Backup). Deleting the app deletes the data from the device; you can turn off iCloud for the game in your device’s settings.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
The free game shows a banner on the level map, occasional ads between levels (never during play), and reward videos that you can choose to watch for a free booster, a continue or double coins. The ads are served by Google AdMob, which may collect and process: your device’s advertising identifier (on iOS only if you allow tracking), IP address and the approximate location derived from it, information about the ads shown and your interactions with them, device and operating-system information, and diagnostic data. Google uses this to show and measure ads and to prevent fraud; ads are personalised only where you have agreed.
In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, and where US state privacy laws require it, Google’s consent message asks for your choices before ads are requested. You can change them at any time under “Privacy options” in the game’s settings. On iPhone and iPad, Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt asks whether Vacuum Sort may track you; if you decline, the advertising identifier is not shared and the game works the same.

In-app purchases
Purchases (No Ads, coin and booster packs) are processed by Apple under the Apple Privacy Policy. We never receive your payment details. Purchases go through RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc.), a purchase-management service that checks them with Apple, so that “No Ads” can come back after a reinstall or on another device and so we can see sales figures. RevenueCat receives a random, anonymous app user ID created by the game (kept in your iCloud so your devices share it), the App Store transaction details of your purchases, and basic technical information (such as app version, operating-system version, device model, language and IP address). It does not receive your name, email or payment details. See the RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
Measuring our own ads (Tenjin)
To learn which of our advertising campaigns (for example on Apple Search Ads, Facebook, Instagram or TikTok) brought a player to Vacuum Sort, and whether those campaigns pay for themselves, the game uses Tenjin (Tenjin, Inc.), a mobile attribution service. Tenjin receives: the time of the install and of each app launch, a random installation identifier, your device’s advertising identifier only if you allow tracking in Apple’s prompt, the identifier for vendors, IP address and the approximate country derived from it, device model, operating-system version, app version and language, play milestones (levels started, completed or failed, the first level finished, rewarded videos watched, days you came back), the estimated revenue of each ad shown to you, and the App Store transaction details of purchases (product, price, currency, transaction identifier and the App Store receipt, which contains no payment details). Tenjin matches installs with the ad networks’ click and view data, with Apple Search Ads attribution and with Apple’s SKAdNetwork (which reports attributions without identifying you), and it may share aggregated or event-level results with the ad network that ran the campaign. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Tenjin only runs as you chose in Google’s consent message; you can change that choice under “Privacy options”. See the Tenjin Privacy Policy.
Game engine
Vacuum Sort is built with the Unity engine. Unity Technologies may receive anonymous technical information about the device the game runs on (such as device model, operating system, processor, graphics hardware and screen size) to improve the engine. It contains no game progress and nothing you enter. See the Unity Privacy Policy.
Children
Vacuum Sort is a game for a general audience and is not designed for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your choices and rights
We hold no personal data about you on any server, so there is nothing for us to export or delete. For data processed by Google, RevenueCat or Tenjin, use “Privacy options” in the game, your device’s tracking and advertising settings, or contact those companies through the policies linked above. You can contact us at any time with questions.
