Sweepy Privacy Policy

Effective October 19, 2026

Sweepy ("the game") is made by Cognito Labs. This policy explains what the game collects, why, and the choices you have. We don't sell your personal information.

Your progress stays on your iPhone

There's no account and no Cognito Labs server. Your progress, hints and settings are saved only on your device. Deleting the app deletes them.

Game Center (optional)

If you're signed in to Game Center, your scores are sent to Apple's leaderboards under your Game Center name, and achievements you earn are recorded there. Apple's privacy policy applies. You can sign out of Game Center in your iPhone's Settings.

Crash reports and usage statistics

To find and fix bugs, the game uses Google Firebase Crashlytics and Google Analytics for Firebase. If the game crashes or something goes wrong (for example a purchase or a video that fails), it sends a report with technical details: your device model, iOS version, the game's version and what it was doing at the time. It also sends simple usage statistics, such as when a board is started, cleared or lost and how long it took. These are tied to a random identifier for your copy of the game, never your name, email or advertising ID, and we use them only to improve the game. Advertising data is only shared if you allow tracking in Apple's prompt. See how Firebase handles data.

Ads

The game never shows ads you didn't ask for. You can choose to watch a short video ad from Google AdMob for hints, a second chance, or to unlock a board theme or a past daily. Google may collect device information, approximate location from your IP address, and ad interactions to deliver and measure that ad.

  • Personalized ads are used only if you allow tracking in Apple's prompt. You can change this any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
  • In the EEA, UK and Switzerland, Google's consent form lets you choose how your data is used, and you can change your choice in the game under Settings › Privacy choices (ads).
  • With Sweepy Plus there are no ads at all.

Daily reminder (optional)

If you turn on the daily reminder, the game schedules a notification on your iPhone. Nothing is sent to us.

Purchases

Sweepy Plus is a one-time purchase handled entirely by Apple. The game checks with Apple whether you own it; we never see your payment information.

Who helps us run the game

  • Apple: the App Store, purchases and Game Center.
  • Google AdMob: optional videos and ad consent.
  • Google Firebase: crash reports and usage statistics.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under the GDPR and CCPA), you can ask to access or delete personal data, or object to how it's used. Because the game keeps your data on your device, most requests are about ad data, which Google handles; email us and we'll help within 30 days.

Children

Sweepy is suitable for all ages but isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their personal information.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date above.
