Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 30, 2026

Rope Untangle ("the app") is a puzzle game made by Nuvyte. This policy explains what information the app handles.

Summary

Rope Untangle has no accounts. We never ask for your name, email address, contacts, photos or precise location. The app uses Google Analytics for Firebase to send usage statistics so we can see which levels are too hard and improve the game. From version 1.1 the free game shows ads from Google AdMob, and you can buy a one-time "Remove ads" option through Google Play.

Usage statistics (Google Analytics for Firebase)

While you play, the app sends events such as: a level was started or finished, and whether it was won; stars, score, hints, wrong pulls and time taken; when you inspect a rope, finish the tutorial or a daily puzzle, see a new twist, or change the theme. Firebase also records basic technical details such as the device model, Android version, app version, language, country, a random app-instance identifier created by Firebase, and your device's advertising ID.

We use this information only to understand how the game is played and to improve it. It is not linked to your name or to any account, we do not use it to identify you or to show you personalised ads, and we do not sell it. The advertising ID is used only to tell whether one of our own ads for Rope Untangle (for example on Google Ads) brought you to the game. We also record when an ad was shown and its estimated revenue, so we can see whether ads pay for the game. Data is sent encrypted (HTTPS) and processed by Google as our service provider under the Firebase privacy and security terms. Google Analytics keeps event data for up to 14 months.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, Rope Untangle does not allow Analytics to store the app-instance identifier on your device or to use your advertising ID, so your events cannot be connected to each other over time or to our ads.

You can reset or delete your device's advertising ID at any time in your Android settings (Settings, Privacy, Ads, or Settings, Google, Ads, depending on your phone).

Ads (Google AdMob)

Rope Untangle shows ads from Google AdMob: a short video you can choose to watch for a free hint or one more life, and now and then a full-screen ad when you move on to the next level. To show and measure ads, AdMob collects information such as your device's advertising ID, IP address, approximate location derived from it, device and app details, and how you interact with the ads. Google uses this as described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the app shows Google's consent message before any ads load, and you can change your choice at any time in the menu under Ad privacy.

We ask Google to keep the ads suitable for a general audience.

Purchases

If you buy "Remove ads", Google Play handles the payment. We never see your card or payment details. The app only asks Google Play whether your Google account owns the purchase, so it can switch ads off and restore the purchase after a reinstall.

Update check

When the app starts, it downloads a small file from our website (nuvyte.github.io) to see whether a newer version is available. No personal information is sent with this request.

Information stored on your device

Your game progress (unlocked levels, best scores, daily streak, theme and sound settings) is saved only on your device. It is deleted if you uninstall the app or clear its data. Uninstalling also removes the Firebase app-instance identifier.

Permissions

The app uses the internet for the statistics, ads, purchases and update check above, and vibration for haptic feedback. It does not access your location, contacts, camera, microphone, or files.

Playing offline

Rope Untangle works fully offline. Without an internet connection, nothing is sent, no ads are shown, and the game plays normally.

Children

Rope Untangle is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
