Privacy Policy
How Peel handles your information, what leaves your device, and how to stop it.
Last updated 24 September 2026
The short version
- Peel never asks for your name, your email or your address book, and never collects them.
- It records how the game is played, such as scores and which screens you open, to work out what to improve.
- On iPhone, iPad and Android, ads are shown by Google. On iPhone and iPad an advertising identifier is used only if you allow tracking; on Android it is used under your device's ad settings and, where the law requires it, only with your consent. If you decline, you still see ads.
- On the Mac there are no ads, and nothing is collected for advertising.
- A switch inside the game, under About, turns the statistics off.
Who is responsible
Peel is published by Nubeo Studio, which is the data controller for the information described here. You can reach us at nubeostudio@gmail.com about anything on this page, including requests to see or delete your data.
What the game collects
Everything below is tied to a random identifier created when you install the game. It is not tied to you as a person, and it is discarded when you delete the app.
| What | Why | Who receives it |
|---|---|---|
| How you play: runs started and finished, scores, levels reached, which screens you open | To see which parts of the game work and which do not | Google Analytics for Firebase |
| Your device model, system version, language and country | To read performance against the hardware it ran on | Google Analytics for Firebase |
| Frame rate and worst-frame timing | To find devices where the game runs badly | Google Analytics for Firebase |
| Whether an ad was shown, skipped or closed. iPhone, iPad and Android only. | To keep ads infrequent and measure whether they work | Google AdMob |
| Your device's advertising identifier, and approximate location from your IP address. iPhone, iPad and Android only. | To choose which ads to show. On iPhone and iPad, only if you allow tracking. On Android, subject to your device's ad settings and your consent where required. | Google AdMob and its ad partners |
| Your best scores and settings | To remember them between sessions | Nobody. These stay on your device. |
| If the game crashes: where it crashed, your device and system version, and what the game was doing at the time | To find and fix the crash | Firebase Crashlytics |
What the game never collects
- Your name, email address, phone number or postal address.
- Your contacts, photos, calendar, microphone or camera.
- Your precise location. Ad targeting uses a rough area from your IP address, not GPS.
- Payment details. Purchases go through Apple or Google Play, and we never see your card.
- Health, financial or biometric information of any kind.
Your choices, inside the game
Open About from the menu. Under Privacy you will find:
- Share gameplay statistics turns the statistics off. It stops everything in the first three rows of the table above, including the automatic events Google's software would otherwise record by itself.
On iPhone and iPad, tracking for personalised ads is controlled by iOS rather than by us. You can change it at any time in Settings, under Privacy & Security, then Tracking.
On Android, the advertising identifier is controlled by Android rather than by us. You can reset or delete it in Settings, under Privacy, then Ads (the exact path varies by device). In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the game asks for your consent before any personalised ads are shown, and Ad privacy settings under About lets you change that answer at any time.
On iPhone, iPad and Android, buying Remove ads stops every ad the game shows between runs, and with it the advertising data in the table above. The optional Keep this run offer, where you choose to watch an ad to carry on, stays available.
On the Mac there are no ads to remove. Buy me a coffee is an optional tip, paid through Apple, that unlocks nothing.
Crash reports are the one exception to the statistics switch. They keep working when it is off, because they are what lets a crash you hit actually get fixed. They contain no gameplay data and nothing that identifies you.
Deleting your data
Peel has no accounts, so there is nothing to sign in to and nothing to close. To have your data deleted:
- Open About, then Privacy, and turn off Share gameplay statistics. Nothing more is recorded from that moment.
- Uninstall the game. This discards the random identifier your statistics were tied to, and your best score and settings with it.
- To have statistics already recorded deleted as well, email nubeostudio@gmail.com with the subject "Peel data deletion". We delete what we can link to you within 30 days and reply to confirm.
What is kept: nothing that identifies you. Statistics that cannot be linked to you are deleted automatically after fourteen months. Purchase records are kept by Apple or Google Play under their own policies, as the law requires.
Who else is involved
Peel uses Google's services on every platform, and Apple's on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Each handles data under its own policy, and each may process it outside your country, including in the United States, under the transfer safeguards their policies describe.
- Google, for analytics, for advertising on iPhone, iPad and Android, and on Android for purchases through Google Play and for Google Play Games leaderboards if you sign in. See the Google Privacy Policy and how Google uses data from apps that use its services.
- Apple, for purchases, for Game Center leaderboards if you sign in, and for the App Store. See the Apple Privacy Policy.
We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with data brokers.
How long it is kept
Statistics are retained by Google Analytics for Firebase for up to fourteen months, after which they are deleted automatically. Advertising data follows Google's own retention schedule. Anything held only on your device, such as your best scores, disappears when you delete the game.
Children
Peel is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has provided information through the game, write to us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a way that affects you, the date at the top changes and the new version appears here before it takes effect.
