Tiltwit Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-10-21

Tiltwit — a puzzle game in which each "box" is solved by using the phone itself (tilting, shaking, covering, charging, changing the volume and so on) instead of tapping the screen, with a new "Today's box" every day ("the app") — is provided by DDJ A1 ("we", "us"). This policy explains what data the app handles and how. Tiltwit has no account system and we do not operate a server for it.

Data stored on your device

Which boxes you have solved or skipped, your best solve times, the days you solved Today's box (for your streak) and your app settings are stored only on your device and are not transmitted to us. Uninstalling the app deletes this data from your device. Android's standard app backup may include this data in your own Google account backup if you have device backup enabled; that backup is controlled by you and Google, not by us.

Sensors and device state

To check whether a puzzle is solved, the app reads — only while a puzzle screen is open — your device's motion and position sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer), the proximity and light sensors, and device states such as charging, media volume, dark theme, airplane mode, connected headphones, split-screen mode and whether the screen was turned off. These readings are processed on your device the moment they arrive, are not stored and are not sent to us or anywhere else. The app does not use the camera, the microphone, your location permission or your contacts.

Permissions the app asks for and why

• Notifications (optional). For a morning note when Today's box arrives and an evening note if you have not opened it. You can decline; the rest of the app keeps working.
• Run at startup. So the daily notes are restored after your phone restarts.
• Vibration. For short feedback when a puzzle step is completed and for notifications. You can turn it off in the app's Settings.
• Internet access and the advertising identifier (AD_ID). Used only by the advertising components described below. The puzzles themselves work offline.

Information collected automatically

When you use the app, certain information may be collected automatically by third-party SDKs used for advertising. This may include:

• Your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address, which may be used to estimate your approximate (general) location
• Device or other identifiers, such as your device's advertising identifier (Advertising ID) and app set ID
• App interactions, such as session time, screens viewed, and ad views and taps
• Crash logs and diagnostic information, such as the mobile operating system and device model you use and ad performance data

This information is collected by the advertising SDK and shared with Google (AdMob) and its advertising partners for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention, security and compliance purposes. It is encrypted in transit. The app itself does not send your puzzle progress or sensor readings off your device, and we do not link the advertising data to them.

Advertising

The app displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob: a banner at the bottom of the screens, an ad when the app starts, and full-screen ads only at natural pauses (after you close a solved box, and when you open the hints). To serve ads, AdMob and its partners may access your device's Advertising ID and the information described above. For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and other regions where required, the app presents a consent form via Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) before personalized advertising data is used; if you decline, non-personalized ads are shown instead. You can reset or limit ad personalization at any time in your device settings (Settings → Google → Ads), and you can change your consent choice from the app's Settings screen.

For more information on how Google uses data when you use partners' apps, see https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Children

Tiltwit is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

Because your data exists only on your device, you are in direct control of it: you can reset all progress from the app's Settings at any time, and uninstalling the app removes everything completely. Depending on your region (e.g. GDPR in the EEA/UK, CCPA in California), you may also have rights regarding data processed by advertising SDKs; you can exercise ad-related choices through the consent form and your device's ad settings described above.

Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new effective date.
