Rinsify Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 27, 2026
Rinsify (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 pattern (the grime layout and color information for each cell). Because the photo itself is the underlying picture revealed as you wash, one reduced copy of the area you chose (640 pixels on the long side) is kept in the App's storage on your device. The original photo file is not stored, and any temporary file created to read it is deleted right away.
· The photo copy is never sent to the Developer or to any third party and is not uploaded to the cloud save described in section 3. Only pattern information (the grime layout and the average color of each cell) is uploaded to the cloud.
· Deleting a pattern from the "My Photos" list also deletes its photo copy. The copy is also deleted when you delete the App.
3. Information stored on your phone and in your own account
· Patterns made from photos and their photo copies, cleared patterns and puzzles in progress, coins, helpers and purchased items, and sound, vibration, effects 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.
· Depending on the backup settings of your iPhone or iPad, this information (including photo copies) may be included in the iCloud backup of your own Apple account. On Android, the App's data is not automatically backed up.
· Cloud save: so you can continue on a new phone, cleared patterns and stars, coins, free tickets and helpers, purchase status, and information on patterns made from photos (grime layout and cell colors) are saved to your own iCloud (iPhone and iPad) or to Google Play Games saved games (Android). Photo copies, sound/vibration/language settings and puzzles 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 grime comes off a cell completely. You can turn it off in the App's settings.
· 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 a rewarded ad 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.
