Advertising
Wittle displays advertisements through Google AdMob.
Advertisements are shown to users of the free version of the App. Users with an active subscription do not receive advertisements while their subscription is active.
At launch, Wittle uses non-personalized advertisements. We do not use advertising identifiers for personalized advertising or behavioral targeting.

How We Use Information
We use information we collect to:
- Operate and maintain the App
- Provide multiplayer gameplay and account functionality
- Save progress and statistics
- Process purchases and subscriptions
- Deliver customer support
- Investigate reports of abuse or misconduct
- Improve reliability, security, and functionality

How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information.
We may share information with service providers that help us operate Wittle, including:
- Google Firebase (including Authentication, Firestore, Cloud Functions, and Cloud Messaging)
- Google AdMob
- RevenueCat
- Apple
These providers process information according to their own privacy policies and applicable laws.
We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, security, or integrity of Wittle, O Street, our users, or others.
Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the App, operate our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information involved.
Certain information may be retained for longer periods where required by law, to resolve disputes, prevent fraud, or enforce our agreements.
Your Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the ability to access, correct, or delete certain information.
You may also:
- Delete your account through the App.
- Disable push notifications through your device settings.
- Manage or cancel subscriptions through your Apple App Store or Google Play account.
If you have questions about your information or wish to exercise applicable privacy rights, please contact us using the information provided below.
Account Deletion
Users may delete their account through the App's settings.
When an account is deleted:
- Authentication credentials are removed.
- Push notification tokens are removed.
- User statistics are removed.
- Account-associated profile information is removed.
- Associated account data is deleted or anonymized.
To preserve the integrity of multiplayer game history, a minimal anonymized placeholder record may be retained. This placeholder contains only the information necessary to maintain historical game records and is displayed as "Deleted User."
Historical multiplayer game records may therefore continue to exist after account deletion, but they will no longer be associated with an identifiable user account.
If you require assistance with account deletion, please contact support@ostreet.app.
Children
Wittle is not directed toward children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact support@ostreet.app.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Data Transfers
Wittle and its service providers may process and store information in countries other than the country in which you reside.
By using Wittle, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions that may have different data protection laws than those in your country of residence.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When material changes are made, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy and may provide additional notice where required by law.
Your continued use of Wittle after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
