Pinweave Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 24, 2026

Pinweave (the "App") is a puzzle game made by the developer DGSTUDIO (the "Developer"). This policy explains what information the App handles and how. This policy is a translation of the Korean original; if the two differ, the Korean version prevails to the extent permitted by law.

1. Personal information collected by the Developer: none

· The App has no sign-up or login, and the Developer runs no servers.

· The Developer does not collect or keep information such as your name, email, phone number, location or contacts.

· The App uses no analytics tools. Ads, payments and cloud save are handled by the external services below (section 6).

2. Photos

· When you tap "Make from photo", your phone's system photo picker opens and only the one photo you choose is passed to the App. The App does not access your whole photo library (on iPhone and iPad it does not request photo library access).

· The chosen photo is converted on your device into a string art pattern (pin position, thread and color data). The original photo is not stored, and any temporary file created for the conversion is deleted right away.

· Photos and patterns are never sent to the Developer or to any third party. Original photos are never uploaded anywhere; patterns (pin, thread and color data) may be kept only in your own account through the cloud save described in section 3.

3. Information stored on your phone and in your own account

· Patterns made from photos, completed patterns and boards in progress, coins and purchased items, and sound, vibration and language settings are stored on your phone.

· This information is not sent to the Developer. It is deleted when you delete the App or clear the App's data in your phone's settings. You can also delete patterns one by one from the "My Patterns" list.

· Depending on your phone's backup settings, it may be included in an iCloud backup (your own Apple account) or Android Auto Backup (your own Google account).

· Cloud save: so you can continue on a new phone, completed patterns, coins and free tickets, purchase status, and patterns made from photos (pin, thread and color data) are saved to your own iCloud (iPhone and iPad) or to Google Play Games saved games (Android). Original photos, sound/vibration/language settings and boards in progress are not uploaded. This storage belongs to your own account, and the Developer cannot access or receive it. Data moves only between devices of the same kind on the same account, and the cloud copy remains even if you delete the App. You can turn it off or delete it in your iCloud settings or Google Play Games settings.

4. Permissions

· Vibration (Android): used for short vibrations when you wind thread.

· Internet: used to load ads, process payments and for cloud save (section 3).

· App Tracking Transparency (iPhone and iPad): the App asks once for permission to use the advertising identifier (IDFA) for personalized ads. The game and ad rewards are the same whether or not you allow it.

· The App does not request location, contacts, camera or microphone permissions.

5. Children's information

The Developer does not directly collect anyone's personal information. Information processed by the ad provider is described in section 6.

6. Information processed by external services

The services below process information under their own privacy policies; the Developer does not receive or keep that information.

· Google AdMob (ads): shows ads when you tap "Watch a video for coins" and when you open the App or return to it after a while. Advertising identifiers (Android advertising ID, and IDFA if you allowed it), IP address, device and app information, and ad view and click information may be processed. In regions that require consent, such as Europe, you are asked for consent first. (policies.google.com/privacy)

· App Store / Google Play (payments): process payment and purchase verification information when you buy coins or items. Payment method details such as card information are handled by Apple or Google, and the Developer does not receive them.

· Apple iCloud / Google Play Games Services (cloud save): keep the saved data described in section 3 in your own account. Play Games signs you in with your Play Games profile. (apple.com/legal/privacy · policies.google.com/privacy)

7. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update the effective date and announce it with an App update.
