Sprout Sort · effective 24 October 2026

Sprout Sort is made by Little Kettle Studios LLC (“we”). This page says what the game does with information about you. The short version: the game keeps your progress on your device, and we don't collect personal information ourselves.

What stays on your device

Your progress (stages, coins, petals, your shop, your shopkeeper and your settings) is saved on your iPhone. If you're signed in to iCloud, a copy is also saved in your own iCloud account so it comes back after reinstalling the game or on a new iPhone. Apple stores that copy under Apple's privacy policy; it isn't sent to us, and we can't see it.

Game Center

If you sign in to Game Center, your Weekend Sprint score is sent to Apple's Game Center leaderboard, where other players can see it with your Game Center name. Apple handles this under Apple's privacy policy. You can play every part of the game without signing in.

No accounts or tracking

The game has no accounts and doesn't track you across apps or websites. The beta shows no real ads; its "test ad" screens are drawn by the game itself and send nothing anywhere.

Anonymous gameplay statistics

Beta builds may send anonymous gameplay statistics through TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service. They describe play, not people: for example which stage was played, whether it was won, and how many moves were left. They contain no name, email, contact details or advertising identifier, and the install is identified only by a one-way scrambled code, so neither we nor TelemetryDeck can tell who you are. We use them only to balance and fix the game, and we never sell them.

Purchases

The beta simulates purchases, and nothing is charged. When real purchases arrive, Apple handles payment, and we never see your payment details.

The TestFlight beta

If you test Sprout Sort through Apple's TestFlight, Apple shares some information with us under its own terms: the name and email you were invited with (or none, if you joined by public link), crash reports, and any feedback and screenshots you choose to send. We use these only to fix and improve the game, and we never sell or share them.

Before launch

The released game is planned to show ads from Google AdMob. Before that happens, this policy will be updated to say exactly what AdMob collects, and the game will ask your permission before any tracking.

Children

The game collects no personal information from anyone, including children. The gameplay statistics above are anonymous.
