Privacy Policy
Effective October 21, 2026
This policy explains what information the Holy Marbles! iPhone game ("the game") collects, how it's used and the choices you have. The game is made by One Life Studios LLC ("we", "us").
Short version: you don't create an account and we never ask for your name, email, contacts, photos or location. The game uses Unity Gaming Services for online play and leaderboards, Google AdMob for ads and Apple for purchases.
Information stored on your phone
Your progress (coins, trophies, unlocked skins, best times, settings) is saved on your device. We don't receive it. Deleting the app deletes it.
Information used for online features
Online races, ghosts and weekly rankings use Unity Gaming Services, provided by Unity Technologies. When you play online, the game signs you in anonymously and Unity assigns a random player ID. We store:
- your racer name (a random name, or one you choose)
- your race times, equipped skin and trophy count
- a "ghost" replay of your best run on each track (the path your marble took)
This information is visible to other players on leaderboards and as ghost racers. Please don't use your real name or personal information as your racer name.
During live races, your device's IP address is processed by Unity's relay servers to connect you with other players.

Game analytics
To improve the game we use Unity Analytics (part of Unity Gaming Services). It records how the game is played — for example sessions, which tracks you race, levels reached, chests opened and purchases made — linked only to the random player ID above, plus basic device info (model, OS version, country). It is not used to identify you or for advertising, and it is not shared with advertisers. Where the law requires consent (e.g. the EU/UK), analytics only starts after you agree in the consent prompt; you can change that anytime in Settings → Privacy Choices.
Advertising
The game shows ads using Google AdMob. AdMob may collect:
- device and app information (model, iOS version, language, app version)
- your IP address and approximate location derived from it
- how you interact with ads
- your device's advertising identifier (IDFA), only if you allow tracking when iOS asks
Google uses this to show ads, measure them and prevent fraud. If you don't allow tracking, you'll still see ads, just less personalized ones. If you're in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, the game asks for your consent before personalized ads are shown, and you can change your choice anytime in Settings → Privacy Choices.

Purchases
In-app purchases (like the No Ads Pack) are processed by Apple. We never see your payment details. We only receive confirmation that a purchase was made so we can unlock it.
Summary
| Data | Why | Shared with |
|---|---|---|
| Random player ID, racer name, race times, ghost replays | Online races, leaderboards, ghosts | Unity; visible to other players |
| IP address | Connecting live races; ads | Unity, Google |
| Gameplay events, device model, OS, country | Game analytics (improving the game) | Unity |
| Device info, ad interactions | Showing and measuring ads | |
| Advertising ID (only if you allow tracking) | Personalized ads | |

We don't sell your personal information for money. We don't collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos or precise location.
Your choices
- Tracking: turn it off anytime in iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- Ads: the No Ads Pack removes all forced ads.
- Delete your online data: email us (address below) and we'll delete your racer name, times and ghost replays.
- Delete local data: delete the app.
How long we keep data
Weekly leaderboards reset every Monday and the Daily Track board resets every day. Your shared ghost replays stay until you set a new best time or ask us to delete them. Unity and Google keep data according to their own policies.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example California, the EU or the UK), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, or to object to or limit how it's used. Email us to make a request. We'll respond within the time the law requires.
Children
The game is not directed at children under 13 and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information (for example, a real name as a racer name), contact us and we'll delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update this page and the effective date above.
