Pachigami

Privacy policy

Last updated 10 November 2026

Pachigami is a game made by Yoav Zichrony, an independent developer in Israel ("I" below). This policy covers the Pachigami app for iPhone and Android and this website.

The short version

• There is no account, no sign-in, no advertising and nothing for sale inside the game.
• The game never reads your advertising ID and does not track you across other apps or websites.
• Your progress and settings stay on your device.
• Crash and usage reports are off until you turn them on. You can turn them off again at any time.

What stays on your device

The game saves your progress, stars, unlocked ink colours and settings on your phone. They are not sent to me or to anyone else. Deleting the app deletes them. On iPhone, they can be included in your own iCloud or computer backup, which Apple handles under its own privacy policy.

Crash and usage reports (optional)

In the game, Settings > Privacy has a switch called "Share crash and usage reports". It is off until you turn it on. While it is on, the game sends two kinds of reports through Google's Firebase service:

• Crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics): what the app was doing when it crashed, the phone model, the operating system and app versions, free memory and storage, and a random ID for this installation.
• Usage reports (Google Analytics for Firebase): which scenes you start and clear, how many drops you use, the stars you earn, which powers you use, a summary of how smoothly the game ran, when the app is opened and for how long, the phone model, the operating system, language, app version, and your approximate location (country or region), which Google works out from your internet address. They are tied to a random ID for this installation of the app.

These reports are not linked to your name, email, phone number or any account, and they are never used for advertising. I use them only to fix crashes and to see which scenes are too hard or too easy.

Turning the switch off stops both kinds of report straight away.

Who handles the reports

Google runs Firebase and processes the reports on my behalf, under the Firebase data processing terms. Google may process them on servers outside your country, including in the United States. You can read how Google handles Firebase data in Privacy and Security in Firebase.

How long reports are kept

Crash reports are kept for 90 days. Usage reports are kept for 2 months and then deleted, leaving only totals that can't be traced back to an installation.

Legal basis (Europe and the UK)

Reports are sent only with your consent, given by turning the switch on. You can withdraw that consent at any time by turning it off. Nothing else is collected.

Children

Pachigami is suitable for all ages. Because reports are off until someone turns them on and are never linked to a person, the game does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to see, correct or delete personal data about you, or to complain to your data protection authority. Since reports carry only a random installation ID, I can't tell which reports are yours. Turning the switch off stops new reports, and the ones already sent are deleted after the periods above. For any other request, email me.

This website

This website uses no cookies and no analytics. It is hosted on Firebase Hosting, which, like any web server, sees your internet address when it delivers a page.

Changes

If the game starts collecting anything new, this page will say so before the update that does it, and the date at the top will change.
