Privacy Policy — Turret.ly

Turret.ly is a kids’ tower-defense game. A child can install it and play the entire free game with no account, no sign-up, and nothing personal collected. There are no ads of any kind, no behavioral tracking, and no profiles built about anyone. The only purchase is a single optional one-time unlock, and it sits behind a parent check so a child can’t buy anything on their own.

This policy covers the Turret.ly app for iPhone and iPad, published by Bravely Studios LLC. Turret.ly is designed to be appropriate for children, and we treat children’s privacy as the default standard for the whole app — consistent with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and equivalent expectations for kid-directed apps.

Playing Turret.ly does not require — and the app does not collect — any of the following:

• Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or postal addresses
• Accounts or sign-in of any kind to play
• Precise or coarse location data
• Contacts, photos, camera, or microphone access
• Persistent advertising identifiers (no IDFA), device fingerprints, or cross-app/cross-site tracking
• Any behavioral profile of a child

Your game progress, stars, and settings are stored locally on the device. If iCloud is enabled on the device, Apple may sync that local game data across the child’s own devices; that sync is handled entirely by Apple under Apple’s privacy policy, and we never see it.

To understand which parts of the game work well, we may record a small number of anonymous, aggregate events — for example, “a level was completed” or “the game was launched.” These events carry no name, email, account, advertising ID, or any identifier that could single out a child or a device. We do not build user profiles, we do not record sessions, and we do not use this data for advertising. This privacy-respecting analytics is provided by PostHog, configured in an anonymous, no-profile mode. We name this provider only because privacy and app-store rules ask us to be specific about who processes data; we never advertise it inside the game.

Turret.ly contains no advertising — not behavioral, not contextual, none. We do not embed advertising, attribution, or social-media tracking SDKs. Nothing in the game profiles a child or follows them across other apps or websites.

Turret.ly is free to play. There is one optional, one-time “unlock the full game” purchase — no subscription, no recurring charge, no coin packs, no loot boxes. Any purchase is placed behind a parental gate: an adult-oriented challenge designed so a young child cannot complete a purchase on their own. Payment is processed entirely by Apple through the App Store; we never receive or store card numbers or billing details. To make a purchase restorable on a new or shared device, the unlock is associated with a Bravely Studios purchase identifier that is created during the parent-completed purchase — never with a child’s name or email. Subscription and entitlement records are managed for us by RevenueCat; again, we name this processor only because disclosure rules call for it.

Turret.ly is built to be safe for children. Because no personal information is collected from anyone — including children under 13 — to play the game, and because purchases require an adult to pass a parental gate, the app does not knowingly collect personal information from children. We do not condition a child’s participation on disclosing more information than is reasonably necessary (which is: none). If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has somehow provided us personal information, contact us at the address below and we will promptly delete it.

We do not sell or rent any data, and we do not share personal information — there is none to share. The only processors involved are the privacy-respecting analytics and purchase-management services named above, and Apple for App Store payments and optional iCloud sync, each acting under their own privacy commitments.

If we update this policy, we will change the “Last updated” date above. For a kid-directed app we will not make changes that reduce privacy protections without making them clear here.
