Privacy Policy
Minigames for iPhone and iPad · Effective November 3, 2026
In short: Minigames has no accounts and we don't run any servers, so we never receive your personal information. Your scores and game progress stay on your device. The app is free and shows ads from Google AdMob; Google may collect device and usage information to show and measure those ads, as explained below. You choose whether ads may be personalized.
Who we are
Minigames (“the app”) is developed and published by Mohammed Baydi (“we”, “us”). If you have any question about this policy, email zelatmoha@gmail.com.
Information we collect
We don't collect any personal information ourselves. The app does not ask for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos or precise location, and it does not create an account for you. The only third-party software in the app is Google's advertising SDK, described next.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
To keep the games free, the app shows ads provided by Google AdMob: a banner on the library and game pages, occasionally a full-screen ad between games or when you return to the app, and, only if you choose to watch one, a video that turns ads off for a while. To show, limit and measure these ads, Google's SDK may collect and process:
- device identifiers, including the advertising identifier (IDFA) only if you allow tracking when the app asks;
- your IP address and the approximate location derived from it;
- information about the ads you see and tap (ad interactions);
- diagnostic information such as crash and performance data of the ad SDK;
- general device information such as model, operating system version and language.
This information is collected by Google, not by us, and is handled under Google's Privacy Policy. You can learn how Google uses information from apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Your choices
- Tracking: the first time you open the app, iOS asks whether the app may track you. If you choose “Ask App Not to Track”, ads are not personalized using your advertising identifier. You can change this at any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
- Consent in the EEA, UK and Switzerland: if you are in a region where consent is required, the app shows Google's consent form before any ad is loaded. You can change your choice later in the app under Settings › Privacy Choices.
- Ad-free time: you can watch a short video (in Settings, the pause menu or next to the banner) to turn ads off for 30 minutes. This is recorded only on your device.
- No network, no ads: all games work without an internet connection; ads are only loaded when your device is online.
Information stored on your device
To remember your progress, the app keeps the following on your iPhone only:
- best scores, number of runs and time played for each game;
- your favorite games and recently played games;
- saved progress for games that support it;
- your settings (sound effects, haptics and play reminders).
This information is never sent to us or to anyone else. You can erase it at any time in Settings › Reset All Progress, or for a single game on its page. Deleting the app deletes it too. If you back up your iPhone with iCloud or a computer, this data is included in that backup and handled by Apple under its own privacy policy.
Notifications
If you turn on Play Reminders, the app schedules local notifications on your device, for example "Beat your best in 2048?". They are written by the app from your own scores and recently played games, right on your iPhone or iPad: nothing is sent to us or to anyone else, and we don't use push notification servers. You can turn them off at any time in the app's Settings › Play Reminders or in iOS Settings › Notifications.
Internet use
Every game is included in the app and runs from your device, and games themselves are not allowed to connect to the internet. The app goes online only to load ads (see above) and when you tap a link yourself, for example a game’s open-source project or license in the Credits section. Those pages open in Safari and are covered by the privacy policies of the websites you visit.
Apple
If you have chosen to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone settings, Apple may give us anonymous, aggregated information such as crash reports and App Store statistics. This is controlled by you and Apple, and it does not identify you to us. See Apple’s privacy policy at apple.com/legal/privacy.
Children
Minigames is a general-audience app. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us and we will help remove it.
Sharing and selling
We do not sell or rent your information. We do not receive personal information ourselves; the advertising data described above is collected and processed by Google.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the effective date above, before the change takes effect in the app.
