Tiny Tower Drop — Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 17, 2026 · Last updated: September 17, 2026 · Version 2.0

Tiny Tower Drop is a free game made by TJ's Workspace. This policy explains what information the game uses, why, and the choices you have. It applies to the Android app (package com.tjsworkspace.tinytowerdrop) and the browser version.

Summary

• There is no account, login or registration.
• The Android app shows ads through Google AdMob and offers optional in-app purchases through Google Play.
• The optional online leaderboard stores a random player ID, the display name you choose, and your best score.
• Everything else about your progress stays on your device.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The Android app shows ads using Google AdMob, part of Google LLC. Two kinds of ads appear:

• Interstitial ads between runs. Your first 5 completed runs never show one. After that, an ad may appear after a game over, at most once every 2 minutes, and never in the middle of a run.
• Rewarded ads that you choose to watch for an in-game benefit (for example a revive or bonus coins). These are always optional.

There are no banner ads.

To show and measure ads, Google's advertising software running inside the app may collect:

• your device's advertising identifier and other device identifiers,
• your approximate location, estimated from your IP address,
• diagnostics such as crash and performance information,
• how you interact with ads (for example that an ad was shown or tapped).

Google uses this information under its own privacy policy (policies.google.com/privacy). You can read how Google uses data from apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Your choices:

• In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and certain US states, the app shows a consent message before ads are loaded. Where required by law, the app presents privacy choices that may affect ad personalization and related data use.
• You can reset or delete your advertising ID and opt out of ad personalization at any time in your device settings (Settings → Google → Ads on most Android devices).
• Buying Remove Ads (see below) permanently turns off the interstitial ads. Rewarded ads remain available if you choose to watch them.

The browser version of the game does not show ads.

In-app purchases (Google Play)

The Android app offers optional one-time purchases through Google Play:

• Remove Ads, which permanently turns off forced interstitial ads.
• Coin packs (1,000, 3,000 or 7,500 coins).

Every theme and reward in the game can also be earned by playing; purchases are never required.

Payments are handled entirely by Google Play under Google's terms and privacy policy. We never see your payment details. The app stores a record of your purchases on your device so that Remove Ads stays active and coins are not granted twice. Refunds are handled through Google Play.

The browser version has no purchases.

Optional online leaderboard

If you use the leaderboard, the game stores exactly three things on our leaderboard server (hosted by Supabase):

• a random player ID generated on your device (not linked to your name, account or device identity),
• the display name you choose (please don't use your real name), and
• your best score, with the dates it was achieved and updated.

This data is used only to show global rankings. Your display name and score are visible to other players on the leaderboard; that is what a leaderboard is for. The data is sent over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). If you never submit a score, nothing is sent to the leaderboard server. To have your entry removed, see Delete your leaderboard data below.

Delete your leaderboard data

To delete your leaderboard entry, email williamtpatrick52@gmail.com and include the display name shown on the leaderboard so we can locate your entry. We will delete the leaderboard record associated with it.

Advertising data is held by Google, not by us; use the device settings described above to reset your advertising ID or change ad personalization.

Progress saved on your device cannot be deleted remotely. Uninstalling the app (or, in the browser version, clearing your browser's site data) removes it, as described under Local storage below.

Local storage

Your progress (best score, coins, unlocked themes, settings, daily rewards, missions, achievements, basic gameplay statistics, ad-timing counters and your purchase status) is stored only on your device, in the app's private storage. Uninstalling the app deletes this data.

If you play the browser version of Tiny Tower Drop, the same progress data is stored in your browser's local storage on your device instead. Clearing your browser's site data deletes it. The leaderboard works identically in the browser version.

Permissions

The Android app uses: Internet (leaderboard, ads and purchases), vibration (optional haptic feedback you can turn off in Settings), network state, and the advertising ID permission used by Google's advertising software. It does not access your contacts, microphone, camera or files, and it does not request your precise location.

Children

Tiny Tower Drop is not designed to collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted identifying information through the leaderboard, contact us and we will remove it.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with an updated date.
