Petal Path: Word Trails is designed to respect your privacy. There are no accounts, the game is fully playable offline, and we collect as little as possible. This policy explains, in plain language, what data the app touches and why.
No accounts, and your saves stay with you
Petal Path has no sign-up, login, or registration of any kind. You can play the entire game offline. Your progress — levels, streaks, coins, companions, and settings — is stored locally on your device. If you use Apple's device backups, that save data may be included in your own iCloud backup, which is controlled entirely by your Apple account and device settings. We never receive or store your saves on our servers.
Advertising
Petal Path shows ads through Google AdMob, including optional rewarded ads and occasional interstitial ads. Before any ads load, you'll see Google's consent form (provided through Google's User Messaging Platform), which presents the privacy choices required in your region, including GDPR consent in Europe and the applicable choices under US state privacy laws.
On iOS, Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt also controls whether ads can be personalized. If you decline tracking — or decline consent in the form — you'll still see ads, but they will be non-personalized. You can remove ads entirely with a one-time in-app purchase.
Analytics
We collect anonymous gameplay statistics through PostHog to understand how the game is played so we can fix problems and improve it. This is tied to a random install identifier generated on your device — it contains no names, email addresses, phone numbers, or contacts, and is not used to identify you. You can turn analytics off at any time in Settings under Stats.
Crash reporting
When the app crashes or hits an error, we send a crash report through Sentry so we can find and fix the problem. These reports include technical details such as your device model, operating system version, and an anonymous stack trace. They do not include personal identifiers.
Purchases
Any purchases — such as removing ads — are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. Apple handles your payment; we never see or store your payment card, billing address, or other payment details.
Children
Petal Path is rated 4+ and is suitable for all ages. There are no accounts, no chat, and no user-generated content. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
How your data is shared
We do not sell your personal data. The only third parties involved are the service providers described above — Google (AdMob and its consent platform), PostHog, and Sentry — who process data on our behalf to run ads, provide anonymous analytics, and report crashes. Apple processes purchases as described above.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the game or in applicable law. When we make material changes, we'll post the updated version here.
Relationship to the Pug Labs privacy policy
This policy is the authoritative description of what Petal Path collects. The Pug Labs privacy policy lists all of our apps and covers our website and services generally; this policy is deliberately narrower and takes precedence for Petal Path. Where the general policy describes practices for products with accounts (such as collecting names or email addresses), those practices do not apply to Petal Path — this game has no accounts and collects no such information.
