Privacy policy

Ribbon Reveal · Developer: Masood Ur Rehman
Effective date: 10 October 2026

Local game information

Ribbon Reveal stores puzzle progress, keepsakes, visual and audio preferences, optional age-treatment choice, guided-peel credits and ad frequency information on your device. These game saves are not sent to the developer. No date of birth is requested.

Advertising in version 1.1

The Android game uses Google AdMob for optional rewarded help and occasional ads between completed pictures. Free hints, undo and all pictures remain available without watching an ad. Ads require an internet connection. There are no accounts, in-app purchases, banners or developer-operated analytics services.

Google's advertising SDK may collect and share IP address (which can indicate approximate location), ad/app interactions, diagnostics and device or account identifiers for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention. Data sent by the SDK is encrypted in transit. Actual processing depends on consent, age treatment and device settings. See Google's SDK data disclosure and Google's privacy policy.

Consent and your choices

Open Settings → Optional help & ad choices. Where required, review ad consent before ads become available; Privacy choices appears when Google's consent system requires it and lets you revisit your choices. Turning ads off stops new ad requests from the game; it does not delete information already processed by Google or necessarily stop previously initialized SDK diagnostics. All gameplay remains available.

The default unknown-age setting and the optional Under 16 setting use conservative restricted ad treatment. Optional 16–17 applies teen treatment; 18+ uses standard treatment subject to consent. Age choices stay on the device. The game uses a general-audience ad content limit. These choices do not block gameplay. Unknown or restricted treatment can reduce ad availability.

Offline play and Android backup

Game artwork, code and audio are bundled for offline play. Internet and network permissions support advertising and consent. The game does not request contacts, precise location, photos, microphone or camera. Android backup is enabled; your operating system may back up app data according to device/account settings. The developer does not operate that backup service.

Music, sound and reduced motion can be adjusted independently. Device app-data controls or uninstalling can permanently remove local progress. Backup copies are governed by your device provider's settings. Android advertising-ID controls can reset or delete the ID; Google's policy explains other data choices.

Audience

The intended audience is ages 13 and up. The optional age-treatment setting provides ad protections; no first-run age popup is required to play. The gentle visual style is not an age-verification mechanism.

Website and contact

This policy and the developer website use GitHub Pages. The pages contain no analytics, advertising scripts or tracking cookies added by the developer. GitHub may process request information to provide and secure hosting; see GitHub's privacy statement.

If you email masoodbarkiwork@gmail.com, the developer receives your email address and information you choose to send and uses it to respond. Email is handled by the email provider; avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information.

Changes

This policy will be updated if the game's data practices change. The effective date identifies the current version.
