Paint Pots privacy policy

This policy explains what information the Paint Pots Android game handles, why, and the choices you have. In short: there is no account, no sign-in and no Logic Labs game server. Your progress stays on your phone. The game offers optional rewarded ads from Google AdMob, and Google collects some technical information to deliver them.

Who is responsible?

Paint Pots is published by Gert Odendaal trading as Logic Labs, a sole proprietorship based in Centurion, South Africa. For support or privacy requests, email gertodendaal@logiclabs.co.za.

What stays on your device

  • Game progress: the stars you have earned on each level, your coins, the palette wells you have unlocked and which tips you have already seen.
  • Settings: sound and vibration, and the age group you chose on the first screen.

This is saved in the app’s private storage on your phone. It is not uploaded to Logic Labs and we cannot see it. Android app backup is switched off for the game, so progress is not copied to a cloud backup. Uninstalling the game or clearing its storage in Android settings deletes it permanently.

The age question

When the game first opens, it asks which age group you are in: under 13, 13–15, 16–17, or 18 or over. Nothing is pre-selected and every answer plays the same game. The answer stays on your phone and only changes which ads may be requested:

  • Under 13: ad requests are marked as child-directed, non-personalised and limited to family-friendly (G-rated) ads. Google then treats the requests under its rules for children’s apps and does not use them for personalised advertising.
  • 13 to 17: ad requests are marked as under the age of consent and non-personalised. Ads are limited to G-rated content for 13–15 and PG-rated content for 16–17.
  • 18 or over: ads are limited to PG-rated content. Where the law requires it, Google’s consent message asks whether ads may be personalised.

No ads are requested until the age question has been answered. Changing the age group later needs a grown-up’s answer to a short maths question in Settings.

Ads and Google

The game is free and supported by ads from Google AdMob, delivered through the Google Mobile Ads SDK. There is only one kind of ad:

  • Rewarded ads that you choose to watch for a free hint or to refill an empty paint pot. Both can also be paid for with coins earned in the game.

There are no banner ads and no full-screen ad breaks between levels. To show and measure ads, Google’s SDK automatically collects and shares with Google:

  • your device’s IP address, which may be used to estimate your general location;
  • app and ad interactions, such as app launches, taps and ad views;
  • diagnostic information about the performance of the app and the SDK;
  • device identifiers, such as the Android advertising ID and app set ID.

Google uses this data for advertising (including personalised ads where you are 18 or over and allow it), analytics and fraud prevention. It is encrypted in transit. Logic Labs does not receive this data about you individually; AdMob gives us only aggregated reports such as the number of ads shown and earnings. See Google’s Mobile Ads data disclosure, how Google uses information from apps that use its services and Google’s Privacy Policy. Google may process information outside South Africa under its own policies and retention periods.

Your choices

  • Consent: for players aged 18 or over, the game asks Google’s consent service whether a choice is needed where you live (for example in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland). If it is, Google’s consent message asks for your choice before personalised ads are shown. You can change that choice at any time under Settings → Ad privacy. Players under 18 never see this message and only get non-personalised ads.
  • Advertising ID: you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in your Android privacy settings.
  • Read this policy in the game: Settings → Privacy policy opens this page. If you chose “Under 13”, a grown-up answers a short maths question first.
  • Delete your game data: uninstall the game or clear its storage in Android settings. There is no Logic Labs account to delete.
  • Rewarded ads are optional: you never have to watch one to keep playing. Every hint and refill can be bought with coins instead.

Permissions

The game asks Android for internet and network-state access (to load ads), vibration (for haptic feedback) and the advertising ID permission (used by Google’s ads SDK). Google’s ads SDK also declares a few technical permissions of its own, such as keeping the device awake while an ad plays. The game does not access your contacts, photos, camera, microphone or precise location.

Children

Paint Pots is a family-friendly game suitable for all ages, including children, and follows Google Play’s Families policy. Players who choose “Under 13” only receive child-directed, non-personalised, family-friendly ads. The game has no accounts, chat, purchases or ways to share personal information. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Parents or guardians can contact us at gertodendaal@logiclabs.co.za with any question, and we will delete anything a child has sent us.

No sales, no purchases

We do not sell personal information. The current version has no in-app purchases, no player accounts, no chat and no Logic Labs analytics. Coins are earned by passing levels; hints and refills are bought with coins or by choosing to watch a rewarded ad.

Test signup

Tester access is managed through our Logic Labs Testers Google Group, shared by all Logic Labs games. When you ask to join, Google processes your Google-account membership information. Logic Labs group owners and managers use your email address, display name and request details to approve membership and manage test access. The member list is restricted to owners and managers.

The website does not separately collect or store a signup-email list. Joining is for testing access, not consent to marketing. Google Play separately processes your test opt-in. You can leave the group and opt out of the Play test at any time. We keep active membership information until you leave or testing ends, and delete declined join requests we control after 90 days. Contact us to request removal of membership information we manage.

Support emails

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to send, such as your phone model or screenshots, and use it only to help you. Your email provider and ours also handle these messages. We delete resolved support emails after 12 months, unless we need them for a legal obligation or an unresolved dispute.

Your rights

You can ask us about, correct or delete information you have sent us by emailing gertodendaal@logiclabs.co.za. Requests about information held by Google are handled through Google’s privacy controls. You can also raise a concern with South Africa’s Information Regulator.
