Privacy Policy
Parcel Pivot: Box Puzzle · Effective 26 September 2026
Parcel Pivot is a single-player puzzle game made by Virgo Studio. This policy explains what happens to your information when you play it. The short version: there are no accounts and no ads. If you say yes, the game sends anonymous play statistics to Google Analytics for Firebase. Optional purchases are handled entirely by Apple or Google. We never sell any data.
Information we collect
Nothing, unless you agree to share play stats. The first time you open the game it asks “Share play stats?”. Nothing is sent until you tap SHARE, and you can turn it off any time under Settings → Share play stats.
If you agree, the game uses Google Analytics for Firebase (Google LLC) to learn which levels players finish or get stuck on, so the puzzles can be improved. It sends:
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Game events: level started, level finished (moves, time), dead end reached | To see which levels are too hard or too easy |
| A random app-instance ID created by Firebase | To count players without knowing who they are |
| Approximate location (country / region), which Google works out from your IP address | To see where the game is played |
| Basic device and app information (model, OS version, app version) and session length | To find problems on particular devices |
| Purchase events that Firebase may record automatically | To count purchases (no payment details) |
- This data is not linked to your name, email or any account, and is not used for advertising or tracking.
- The game does not ask for permission to track you across other apps (App Tracking Transparency) and does not read the device's advertising identifier (IDFA).
- How Google handles this data is described in Google's Privacy Policy and at firebase.google.com/support/privacy.
In-app purchases
The game offers two optional one-time purchases: Unlimited Hints and Box Styles. There are no subscriptions. Payment is processed entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) under their own privacy policies. We never see or receive your name, email, card or other payment details. The game only keeps a note on your device of which items you have bought, and you can get them back with RESTORE in the shop or in Settings.
Information kept on your device
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Current level and levels unlocked | So the game remembers your progress |
| The board you were playing and its undo history | So you can continue exactly where you left off |
| Settings (sound, vibration, reduce motion, share play stats) and hints left | So the game remembers your choices |
| Items you have bought and the box style you picked | So your purchases stay unlocked |
These files are stored only on your own device and never leave it. Deleting the app deletes them.
Advertising
The game shows no ads of any kind.
Children
The game is rated 4+ but is not directed at children and is not in the App Store's Kids category. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will help remove it.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
