Privacy
For Tovelly's games and apps. Last updated 9 November 2026.
This page explains what happens to your information when you use a game or app published by Tovelly on Google Play or the App Store. Where a particular app works differently, its store listing or its own privacy page says so.
What our games collect themselves
Nothing personal. Our games do not ask you to sign up, and they do not collect your name, email address, contacts or photos. Your progress, scores and settings are saved only on your device. Deleting the game deletes them.
Advertising
Our games are free and carry ads served by Google AdMob. To show and measure those ads, the Google Mobile Ads software inside the game collects some information from your device and sends it to Google:
- your device's advertising ID
- your IP address, which gives an approximate location
- information about the device and the app, such as the model, operating system and how the ad was seen or tapped
- crash and performance information about the ads software
Google uses this to choose which ads to show, to count views and taps, to limit how often you see the same ad, and to prevent fraud. It is sent over an encrypted connection. How Google handles it is set out in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and in Google's Privacy Policy.
Some ads are optional: a game may offer a reward, such as a second chance, if you choose to watch one. You never have to.
Your choices
- Where the law requires it, for example in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, the game asks for your consent before personalised ads are shown, using Google's consent form.
- On Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID in Settings, under Privacy or Google, then Ads. On iPhone, apps must ask before they can track you across other companies' apps and websites.
- You can turn off personalised ads across Google at adssettings.google.com.
YouTube
We use YouTube API Services to upload videos to the YouTube channels Tovelly owns and runs: Tovelly Studios, Paper n Pix, BitsnPieces, The Lap Map Adventures and Raw Nerve. This is an internal tool used only by our own team. It is not offered to the public and it does not sign in, read or store anyone else's YouTube account or data.
- What it accesses: through Google sign-in (OAuth), permission to upload videos to our own channels, to read our own channels' and videos' details, so each upload is checked against the right channel and confirmed once YouTube has processed it, and to read YouTube Analytics reports for our own channels (views, watch time and subscribers gained for our own videos, as totals), so we can see which of our videos worked.
- What it stores: the sign-in tokens for our own channels, encrypted on our own computer, and a record of the videos we uploaded. Analytics are read as totals for each of our videos; nothing about individual viewers is collected or stored.
- Sharing: none. We do not share or sell any YouTube data.
- Removing access: the channel owner can withdraw this tool's access at any time from Google's security settings. When access is withdrawn we delete the stored tokens.
By watching our videos or using our channels you are also bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. YouTube is run by Google, and Google's Privacy Policy explains how Google handles your information.
TikTok
We use TikTok's developer tools (Login Kit and the Content Posting API) in the same internal tool, to post short videos we make to the TikTok accounts Tovelly owns. It signs in only to our own accounts, with TikTok's permission screen, and is not offered to anyone else. The clothing label Raw Nerve Co. has its own privacy page.
- What it accesses: permission to upload and publish videos to our own TikTok accounts, and those accounts' basic profile details so each post can be checked against the right account.
- What it stores: the sign-in tokens for our own accounts, encrypted on our own computer, and a record of what we posted. Nothing about viewers is collected or stored.
- Sharing: none. We do not share or sell any TikTok data.
- Removing access: the account owner can remove this tool at any time in the TikTok app under Settings and privacy, Security and permissions, Apps and services permissions. When access is removed we delete the stored tokens.
Our TikTok videos are also covered by TikTok's Terms of Service and TikTok's Privacy Policy.
Children
Our games are not made for children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
