Your game stays on your device

Tide Pool saves progress, stars, keepsakes and settings locally. These gameplay saves are not sent to JFun, Tenjin or Google Ads. Gameplay works offline. Android may include your game saves in your own device backup, controlled by your Google account. Measurement consent, install identifiers and event queues are excluded from app backup and device transfer.

Android 1.0.1 regional install measurement

Before initializing Tenjin, Tide Pool requests a country decision from a JFun HTTPS endpoint. This first-party connection exposes your IP address to Firebase Hosting for country selection; it sends no advertising identifier, install referrer, cookie, GPS or device identifier. The country decision is checked on each foreground arrival and is not inferred from your language, timezone or SIM.

Tenjin stays off in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland and listed EU territories, when your country is unknown, or when the country service cannot be reached or returns an invalid response. A previous Not now or other saved decline remains effective everywhere. In other known countries, acquisition measurement may start automatically without a popup.

When measurement runs, Tenjin receives your Android advertising ID when available, app install and launch/session information, referrer and campaign attribution information, app version, device and operating-system details, language and technical connection information. Requests expose your IP address, from which a country or approximate location may be inferred. Tenjin shares install attribution information with Google Ads for analytics and advertising measurement. Google ad personalization is disabled. We do not request precise GPS location or send your progress, keepsakes, name, email or purchase information.

Your choices and earlier versions

There is no measurement Settings control in Android 1.0.1. Android settings let you reset or delete your advertising ID; deleting it does not necessarily stop all technical measurement data. For access or deletion requests, contact hello@jfun.ai; do not include sensitive details in your initial email. Earlier saved declines continue to disable Tenjin. iPhone, iPad and Android 1.0 collect no app data.

Recipients, security and retention

Measurement is processed by Tenjin and Google, including processing outside your country. SDK connections use HTTPS encryption in transit. Measurement records may be retained under these providers’ applicable service and retention settings. We use them only while needed for campaign reporting and applicable legal obligations, and respond to deletion requests where supported and legally required. We do not sell your game saves or send them to measurement providers.

iPhone, iPad and Android 1.0

These versions have no Tenjin, Firebase Analytics or crash-reporting SDK. They do not collect an advertising identifier or send app data to JFun. This Android update does not change the iPhone or iPad app’s data practices.

Information we do not access

Tide Pool does not access your contacts, photos, camera, microphone or precise location. It has no chat, user accounts, personalized advertising or in-app purchases.

Support messages and this website

If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to send. We use it to respond and normally retain support correspondence for up to 12 months after resolution, unless a legal obligation requires longer retention. These pages use Firebase Hosting, which processes IP addresses and technical connection information to deliver and secure the website. These Tide Pool pages add no analytics scripts, advertising cookies or third-party fonts.

Children and changes

Tide Pool is a general-audience puzzle game, not directed specifically at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Contact us if you believe a child has provided measurement data so we can investigate and request deletion. We may update this policy when features or data practices change; the revision date identifies the current policy.
