Privacy policy

Last updated: 30 October 2026. The short version: the game has no accounts and keeps your progress on your device. Ads are optional rewarded videos served by Google AdMob, which collects device data under your consent choices. The ad-free pass is sold by Apple.

Who we are

Sporewright ("we", "us") is made by Petr Jirous, Pod Harfou 943/34, Praha 9, Czech Republic. For anything about your privacy, write to hello@sporewright.com.

The Sporewright game

No accounts

You don't sign up, log in or give us your name or email to play. The game has no online profiles, chat or leaderboards.

Your progress stays on your device

The game saves your progress locally, in the app's private storage on your phone. The save file holds game data only: your Spores and Workshop levels, unlocked tiers and best waves, statistics such as runs and highest hit, your settings, a snapshot of a run in progress, the time you last played (used to work out offline harvest), whether you own the ad-free pass, and how many ad rewards you claimed today (for the daily limits). We do not receive this file. Deleting the app deletes it, and the in-game "Reset save" option clears it.

Depending on your phone's settings, your operating system may include app data in your device backup (for example iCloud or Google backup). That is handled by Apple or Google under their own policies.

Rewarded ads (Google AdMob)

The game can show rewarded video ads. They are always optional: an ad plays only when you tap a button that names its reward (for example "Watch ad: 2x" on the offline harvest, a second chance when your spire falls, a free Spore Pod, or 30 minutes off a research). The game has no banner ads and no ads that interrupt play. Each reward has a daily limit.

The ads are served by Google AdMob, a service of Google Ireland Limited (for users in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland) or Google LLC (elsewhere). To request, show, measure and protect ads, Google's Mobile Ads SDK in the app collects and processes data such as:

  • device identifiers: on iOS the advertising identifier (IDFA) only if you allow tracking in Apple's "Allow tracking" prompt, otherwise identifiers limited to this app (such as the identifier for vendors); on Android the advertising ID, which you can reset or delete in your device settings;
  • your IP address, which Google uses to estimate a coarse location (country or city);
  • device and app information (model, operating system, language, app version) and ad interaction data (which ads were requested, shown and tapped, and whether a video was completed);
  • diagnostic data used to keep the service working and to detect fraud and abuse.

Google uses this data as described in its own policies: the Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. We do not receive personal data from AdMob. We only see aggregated reports, such as how many ads were shown and what they earned.

Your consent and how to change it

When you first open the game in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, Google's consent form (Google's User Messaging Platform, a consent management platform certified for the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework) asks for your choices before any ad is requested. You decide whether data may be stored on and read from your device and whether ads may be personalized; if you refuse, Google may still show limited or non-personalized ads, as your choices allow. On iOS, Apple's "Allow tracking" prompt is shown from within that flow; if you choose "Ask App Not to Track", your IDFA is never shared. The legal basis for personalized ads and for storing or reading information on your device is your consent.

You can change your choices at any time in the game under Settings → Privacy choices (shown wherever the consent rules apply), and on iOS under Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. You can also manage how Google personalizes ads in My Ad Center.

Ad-free pass (in-app purchase)

The optional ad-free pass is a one-time purchase that gives you every ad reward without watching a video. On iOS it is sold and processed by Apple through the App Store; Apple handles your payment and payment details under its own privacy policy, and we never see them. The game only receives a confirmation from Apple, on your device, that you own the pass, and stores that in your save. "Restore purchases" in Settings asks Apple to confirm it again, for example after reinstalling. With the pass, the game stops requesting and showing ads.

No analytics or crash reporting

Apart from the ads described above, the game contains no analytics, attribution or crash-reporting SDKs and does not send your data to us.

App stores

You download Sporewright through the App Store or Google Play. Apple and Google process data about your download, purchases and device under their own privacy policies. We may receive aggregated, anonymous statistics from them (such as download counts and crash rates), which do not identify you.

This website

Analytics cookies (only if you accept)

With your permission, we use Google Analytics, provided by Google Ireland Limited, to count visits and see which pages people read and roughly where they come from. Nothing is loaded until you click "Accept" on the cookie banner; if you decline, or ignore the banner, Google Analytics is never loaded. If you accept, Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (_ga and _ga_*, kept for up to 2 years) and Google processes your IP address, device and browser details and the pages you visit. Google may process this data outside the EU, including in the United States, under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. We use the reports only in aggregate, keep detailed Google Analytics data for no more than 14 months, and don't use it for advertising.

Legal basis: your consent. You can change your choice at any time with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page (). Your choice itself is stored in your browser's local storage, not in a cookie. The site sets no other cookies and uses no advertising trackers. Fonts and images are served from this site.

Hosting logs

Like any website, our hosting provider (Cloudflare, Inc.) processes technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. The request logs we can see are kept for up to 7 days and are not used to identify you.

3D viewer

The interactive 3D spire on the home page loads Google's open-source model-viewer component from the jsDelivr CDN. Your browser connects to jsDelivr (and may fetch decoder files from Google's servers) to do this, which means those services see your IP address. The viewer is not loaded if your browser asks to save data.

Android sign-up

If you sign up on our website to hear when Sporewright comes to Android, we collect the email address you give us and your consent to be emailed. We use them only to tell you when Sporewright is on Google Play. People who pre-registered before the iOS launch gave us their email and platform the same way, and we use them only to tell them about the launch on their platform. Legal basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time by writing to us or using the unsubscribe link in the email. Sign-ups are stored in a database run by Cloudflare, Inc. on our behalf, kept within the European Union, and we delete each address within 3 months after the launch it was collected for. We never sell or share them.

Children

Sporewright is suitable for a general audience and is not directed at children. We do not ask for any personal information to play. The rewarded ads are served by Google AdMob as described above, and the app is not set up as directed at children. The Android sign-up is intended for people aged 16 or older; if you believe a child has signed up, contact us and we'll delete the address.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU/UK, or the CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export personal data we hold about you, to object to or restrict its use, and to withdraw consent. The personal data involved is a sign-up email and, if you accepted analytics cookies, the Google Analytics data described above. Advertising data in the game is processed by Google as an independent controller: use Settings → Privacy choices in the game, or Google's tools linked above, to change or withdraw your ad consent. To use any of these rights with us, write to hello@sporewright.com. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update it here and change the date at the top. Significant changes will be announced in the game or on this site before they take effect.
