Privacy, in one paragraph
No ads does not mean no data. The App Store privacy label says purchases, identifiers and usage data may be used to track you. Crux uses Singular to measure which ad campaign, if any, led to an install (with tracking permission on iPhone, and never for players under 13), and Sentry for crash reports. We do not sell personal data for money. You can export or delete your data from Settings at any time. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
