Pickle Panda Studio ("we", "us") · Effective date: 26 October 2026 · Last updated: 27 October 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Pickle Panda Studio collects, uses and shares information when you play our games and apps on Android (Google Play) or on the web at picklepandastudio.com (together, the "Games"). It applies to every Game listed in section 12. We are a one-person studio based in Israel. We do not sell your personal information.
The controller of your information is Pickle Panda Studio, operated by Zahi Michaeli, Israel. Privacy questions and requests: privacy@picklepandastudio.com. We answer within 30 days.
Our Games save your settings (language, sound), game progress and an optional player name on your device (Android app storage, or browser local storage / cookies on the web). Except for the online multiplayer data described in section 3, this information is not sent to us. You can delete it at any time by uninstalling the app, clearing the app's data, or clearing site data in your browser.
Some Games, such as the web version at schnitzel.picklepandastudio.com, offer online rooms to play with other people. The multiplayer server (api.picklepandastudio.com) runs on Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects. To make this work we process:
Room data is kept only for as long as the room exists and is then deleted. Your profile and statistics are kept until you delete them with "Delete my profile" in the Game (it asks you to confirm) or ask us to delete them (see section 8). A profile that is not opened or updated for 365 days is deleted automatically. There is no login, no email, no photos, and no chat, and we do not ask for your real name. Please do not use your real name as a nickname. Server logs record errors only and do not contain nicknames or other content. The device ID stays in your browser until you clear site data; if you clear it without deleting your profile first, you become a new player and the old profile can no longer be linked to you. We do not use this information for advertising or analytics.
Apart from the multiplayer server described in section 3, we do not run servers that collect personal information. Some Games use the services below, which collect information directly under their own privacy policies.
| Service | What it may collect | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob (ads) | Advertising ID, IP address (used for approximate location), device and app information, ad interactions | Showing ads, measuring ads, preventing fraud. Personalized ads only where you have consented when consent is required. |
| Google Play Billing (in-app purchases) | Purchase details. We receive an order ID and the product purchased, never your payment card details. | Processing purchases such as "Remove ads" |
| Cloudflare (web hosting and multiplayer server) | IP address, browser information and request logs when you visit picklepandastudio.com, its game subdomains or the multiplayer server | Delivering the websites, hosting the multiplayer server, and protecting them from attacks |

Ads help keep our Games free. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before personalized ads are shown, using Google's consent tool. You can change your choice at any time from the "Privacy options" button in the Game's settings. On Android you can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings (Settings > Privacy > Ads, or Settings > Google > Ads). If you refuse consent you will still see ads, but they will be less relevant.
We process information to provide the Games, to show ads and process purchases, to keep the Games secure, and to fix problems. Where the GDPR applies, our legal bases are your consent (personalized ads, cookies or similar storage where required), performance of a contract (purchases and providing online rooms), and our legitimate interests (security, crash fixing, non-personalized ads). You are not legally required to provide any information. If you refuse consent, the Games still work.
Only with the service providers in sections 3 and 4, and if the law requires it. We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising except through the ad services described above, subject to your choices.
Information on your device stays until you delete it. Third-party services keep information according to their own policies (for example, Google retains AdMob and Firebase data for limited periods described in its policies). Emails you send us are kept for up to 24 months and then deleted. Our Games do not have user accounts. Multiplayer room data is deleted automatically when the room ends, and you can delete your multiplayer profile and statistics yourself with "Delete my profile" in the Game, and profiles unused for 365 days are deleted automatically. To ask us to delete any information we or our providers hold about you, email privacy@picklepandastudio.com with the subject "Delete my data", and include your app instance ID or multiplayer device ID if the Game shows one in its settings.
Depending on where you live, you have the right to access the information about you, correct it, delete it, object to or restrict processing, withdraw consent, and receive a copy of it. Residents of Israel have rights of access and correction under the Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981. Residents of the EEA/UK can complain to their data protection authority, and residents of Israel to the Privacy Protection Authority. Residents of California and other US states can ask what we collect and ask us to delete it; we do not sell or share personal information as defined by those laws. To use any right, email privacy@picklepandastudio.com.
Our Games are intended for people aged 13 and over (16 and over in the EEA), are not directed to younger children, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our Games, contact us and we will delete it.
We keep the information we handle to a minimum, use HTTPS on our website, and rely on providers with recognized security programs. Our providers may process information outside your country, including in the United States, under safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

We will post any changes on this page and update the "Last updated" date. If a change materially affects how we use your information, we will also tell you in the Game.
