Privacy Policy
Pixel Excavator (iOS) · Last updated: 15 November 2026
This policy explains what data the game Pixel Excavator ("the app") uses, why, and what choices you have. The app is published by Vantar Group LLC, 30 N Gould St Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA ("we"). Contact: support@vantar.xyz.
Short version
- You do not need an account. We do not ask for your name, email or location.
- Your game progress (levels, coins, upgrades) is stored only on your device.
- The app shows ads from Google AdMob. Google may use a device identifier for ads, but only after you agree in the consent form (EU/UK) and the Apple tracking prompt.
- Purchases are handled by Apple. We never see your payment details.
1. Data stored on your device
Game progress, settings and a small local event log (for example "level 3 finished") are saved on your device. This data does not leave your device and is deleted when you delete the app.
2. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The app uses Google Mobile Ads (AdMob), provided by Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC, to show rewarded and full-screen ads. To deliver, limit and measure ads, Google may process:
- the advertising identifier (IDFA), only if you allow tracking in the Apple prompt,
- IP address, device model, operating system and app version,
- ad interactions (ads shown, ads clicked).
In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, the app shows Google's consent form before personalized ads are requested. Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). If you do not consent, Google may show non-personalized or limited ads. You can change your choice at any time in the app under Settings → Privacy, and you can turn off tracking in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
More information: How Google uses information from apps that use its services.
3. In-app purchases
Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We receive only a confirmation that a product was bought, so the app can unlock it. We do not receive your name, Apple ID or payment details.
4. Who receives data
| Recipient | Purpose | Data |
|---|---|---|
| Google (AdMob) | Ads and ad measurement | Identifiers (with consent), device and usage data |
| Apple | App distribution, purchases, crash reports you agreed to share with developers | As described in Apple's privacy policy |
Google and Apple may process data in the USA. Transfers rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses.
5. Children
The app is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has used the app and data was shared with an ad partner, contact us and we will help remove it.
6. Your rights
If you are in the EEA or UK, you have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your data, to object, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. Because we do not store data about you on our servers, most requests are best handled by deleting the app and resetting your advertising identifier. For data held by Google, see Google's privacy policy. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
7. Changes
We may update this policy when the app changes. The date at the top shows the latest version.
