Privacy Policy

Hourglass Sort · Last updated: October 22, 2026

Hourglass Sort ("the app") is made by Vijay Shrestha ("we"). This policy explains what information is handled when you play. We do not require an account and we do not ask for your name, email address, contacts, photos or precise location.

Information stored on your device

Your game progress (level, coins, unlocked themes and settings) is saved only on your device. We do not receive it. Deleting the app deletes it.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The app is free and shows ads served by Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC. To deliver, measure and limit ads, and to prevent fraud, Google's SDK may collect:

• Device identifiers: the Advertising Identifier (IDFA), only if you allow tracking in the iOS prompt, and the identifier for vendors.
• Coarse location derived from your IP address.
• Advertising data and product interaction, such as ads viewed and tapped.
• Diagnostic data, such as crash and performance information about the ad SDK.

When you allow tracking, this data may be used for personalized ads. If you decline, you still see ads, but they are not personalized using the Advertising Identifier. You can change your choice at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the UK, Switzerland or a US state with privacy laws, the app asks for your consent or choices through Google's consent tool, and you can change them later in the app under Settings → Privacy & ad choices.

Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.

Rewarded ads

Some features let you optionally watch an ad in exchange for in-game rewards. Watching is never required to play.

Children

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

Data sharing and sale

We do not sell your personal information. Apart from the advertising data handled by Google as described above, no data leaves your device.

Changes

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