Dead Drop:
Spy Ciphers Privacy Policy

Dead Drop: Spy Ciphers is a code-breaking puzzle game for teens and adults made by The Weekend Companies LLC ("we"). This policy explains what information the app uses. The short version: we don't collect any personal information, and there are no accounts or chat.

What stays on the device

The app saves which messages you've decoded, your stars, your hint tokens, work in progress, which tips you've seen, how many free hints you've watched an ad for today, and whether Remove Ads was bought. This is stored only on the device and is never sent to us. Deleting the app deletes it.

The app does not use the microphone, camera, location, contacts or photos.

Advertising

The free version shows a banner ad in the space below each message, a full-screen ad now and then between messages, and an optional video ad you can choose to watch for a free hint. Ads are provided by Google AdMob, with:

• no personalized or interest-based advertising: every ad request asks for non-personalized ads only,
• ads limited to content rated for teens (T) and below,
• no advertising identifier: the app does not ask for tracking permission on iPhone or iPad, and it blocks the advertising ID on Android.

To show an ad, Google receives basic technical information such as the device's IP address, device type and operating system version. Google uses it to deliver ads, limit how often you see them, count impressions and prevent fraud, as described in how Google uses information in ads. We don't receive information that identifies you.

In-app purchases

You can buy packs of hints and a one-time Remove Ads. Payment is handled entirely by Apple or Google; we never see payment details. The app only learns which item was bought, so it can add the hints or turn ads off, and restore Remove Ads on a new device.

Children's privacy

Dead Drop: Spy Ciphers is made for teens and adults, not for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, and the app has no way to enter any. If you believe information about your child has reached us, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update it here and change the effective date above.
