Pixel Artist Privacy Policy

Effective: 25 October 2026

Who we are

Pixel Artist is provided by Chang Studio. This policy covers the Android game and its optional online services. For privacy questions or requests, email psychangstudio@gmail.com and mention Pixel Artist.

Information stored on your device

The game stores your language, audio and vibration preferences, tutorial and story progress, completed puzzles, collected artworks, achievements, lives and recovery times, spotlight inventory, unlimited-lives expiry, and identifiers used to prevent duplicate rewards or purchases. Older saves may retain a legacy nickname; the current game does not edit or upload it.

Your gameplay save remains on your device. The game does not offer an online game account, upload your save, or synchronize it between devices. Google Play Games sign-in and rankings are disabled. An unfinished puzzle is restarted after a cold launch. Clearing app data or uninstalling can remove local progress and delivered consumable items.

Advertising

Watching a rewarded ad is optional. Google Mobile Ads and Google's consent service may process IP addresses, approximate location inferred from IP, device or account identifiers, app and ad interactions, and diagnostic information. Google uses this information to provide and measure advertising, analyze performance, and prevent fraud. See Google's Mobile Ads data disclosure and Google's Privacy Policy.

Where required, the game presents Google's consent message. When available for your region, you can revisit advertising consent through Settings → Privacy options. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID using Android settings. Declining optional advertising does not prevent the core offline game from working.

Purchases

Google Play handles payments; the game does not receive your payment-card details. To verify and deliver a purchase, the game sends the product ID, platform and purchase token over HTTPS to our verification service, hosted by Supabase, which checks the purchase with Google Play. This service does not receive your gameplay save, nickname or inventory, and does not write player profiles or purchase receipts to an application database. Our application logs exclude purchase tokens, receipt bodies, order IDs and complete Google purchase responses.

Pending purchase receipts are held in the app's private storage until delivery and consumption are complete. A transaction digest remains in your local save to prevent duplicate delivery. The verification service temporarily processes connection information, including IP addresses for rate limiting. Hosting providers may separately retain access metadata, diagnostics and backups. See the Supabase Privacy Policy.

Support and retention

If you contact support, we receive your email address and the information you send. Do not send passwords, payment-card details or purchase tokens by ordinary email. We use support correspondence to respond to you and resolve the issue.

Local saves remain until you clear, replace or remove app data. Pending receipt entries are removed after confirmed delivery and consumption. Support correspondence is retained as needed to handle requests and maintain service records. Google and hosting providers apply their own retention policies; removing local data does not delete their records or backups.

A retired internal-testing service may still retain historical test records. These records are not used to run the current game. Contact us to ask about access, correction or deletion of support information or historical testing data associated with you. We will handle requests subject to applicable law and any records we must retain. There is no online Pixel Artist account to delete.

Privacy requests and deletion

To request deletion of information held by Chang Studio, email psychangstudio@gmail.com with the subject Pixel Artist privacy request. Tell us whether your request concerns support correspondence or historical internal-testing records, and provide the email address or test identifier needed to locate them. Do not send passwords, card details or purchase tokens. We may ask for information needed to verify that the records belong to you.

We can delete support information and identifiable historical test records we hold, subject to records needed for legal obligations, security or unresolved requests. We will explain any such retention when responding. Local gameplay data must be removed using Android’s app-data controls or by uninstalling; doing so can permanently remove progress and consumable items. Google advertising and purchase records are managed by Google, and provider backups follow the providers’ retention policies. These records are not removed by clearing your local save.

Children and international processing

The game is intended for people aged 13 and older and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly seek personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided such information, contact us.

Google and hosting providers may process information outside your country. Their privacy policies describe their processing and available controls. Your rights may include access, correction, deletion or objection, depending on applicable law; contact us using the address above.

Security and changes

Online service requests use HTTPS. App-private storage and integrity checks do not mean that a local save is encrypted. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure.

We will update this policy when our data practices change and display the updated effective date here.
