How Whack-a-Mole collects, uses and protects your data. Written plainly, true to exactly what the app actually does.
📅 Last updated: 21/06/2026Whack-a-Mole ("the app", "we") respects your privacy. This page explains exactly what data is collected, why, and how you control it. The core principle: no ads, no cross-app tracking SDKs, no selling your data.
We only collect the bare minimum needed for the game to work and to sync your progress:
| Data | How it's collected | Why it's needed |
|---|---|---|
| Email Optional | You enter it | Profile & account recovery |
| Display name Optional | You enter it | Shown on the leaderboard |
| Device ID Automatic | Issued by the system | Cloud-save without signing in |
| Game progress Automatic | While you play | Score, stars, gold, gems, achievements |
| Country code Automatic | From your device | Filter leaderboards by region |
| IAP transactions Automatic | Handled by Apple / Google | Confirm in-app gem purchases |
Whack-a-Mole does not collect: precise location, contacts, photos, microphone, camera or payment card details. Every purchase is handled by Apple / Google — we never see your card number.
We do not use ad SDKs, do not track behavior across apps, and do not sell or share your data with third parties for marketing.
You can delete all of your data at any time:
We only keep your data for as long as needed to provide the service (progress sync, leaderboards). When you request deletion, the related data is removed from our systems.
Whack-a-Mole is a general-audience, family-friendly product. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information (PII) from children under 13. If you believe your child has provided us with data, please contact us so we can remove it.
We may update this policy over time. Any significant changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of the page. Continuing to use the app means you accept the updated policy.
