Privacy Policy – FuseDrop

Published by TricoreTech  •  Effective date: April 1, 2026  •  Last updated: April 1, 2026

🏢 1. Who We Are

FuseDrop is a mobile game published by TricoreTech (“we”, “us”, or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you play FuseDrop on iOS.

For privacy inquiries, contact us at: tricore.tech.biz@gmail.com

Short version: FuseDrop does not collect your name, email, or any personally identifiable information. We do not require account creation. Third-party advertising (Google AdMob) may collect limited device data as described below.

📋 2. Information We Collect

We collect the minimum data necessary to provide you with a working game experience.

Data Purpose Storage Identifiable?
High Score Track your best game score On-device & iCloud* No
Game Settings Remember difficulty / theme preferences On-device No
Saved Game State Allow you to resume an interrupted game On-device No

* iCloud sync requires an active iCloud account and is managed by Apple. See Apple’s Privacy Policy for iCloud data handling.

We do not collect: your name, email address, phone number, physical address, precise or approximate location, camera or microphone data, contacts, health or fitness data, financial information, browsing history, or any other personally identifiable information.

📱 3. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdMob)

To keep FuseDrop free, we show ads to users who have not purchased the premium “Remove Ads” option. Ads are served by Google LLC via the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob). Premium users see no ads and are not subject to ad-related data collection.

What Google AdMob may collect

Google processes this data under its own privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy . You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time via iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising or by purchasing the premium upgrade inside the app.

Google User Messaging Platform (UMP)

We use Google’s User Messaging Platform to collect your consent before personalised advertising is shown. In the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland, you will be presented with a consent dialog on first launch. You may change your consent choice at any time within the app settings.

SKAdNetwork & privacy-preserving attribution

The app declares Apple’s SKAdNetwork identifiers for a number of ad networks. SKAdNetwork is Apple’s privacy-preserving framework that allows ad networks to measure campaign performance without identifying or tracking individual users.

ATT prompt: FuseDrop presents Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt on first launch as required by iOS 14.5+. Your choice is respected immediately — no tracking occurs before you respond, and denying permission has no impact on game features or functionality.

🛍 4. In-App Purchases & Subscriptions

FuseDrop offers in-app purchases (a monthly subscription and a lifetime “Remove Ads” purchase) processed entirely by Apple Inc. via StoreKit 2. TricoreTech does not receive, process, or store any payment card information. Apple handles all financial transactions and related data under its own Privacy Policy .

Purchase status (premium vs. free) is stored locally on your device and synced across your Apple devices via iCloud Key-Value Store so that your premium entitlement follows you without requiring an account with us.

☁️ 5. iCloud Sync

If you are signed into iCloud on your device, FuseDrop syncs your high score and premium purchase status across your Apple devices using Apple’s iCloud Key-Value Store. This sync is encrypted in transit by Apple and subject to Apple’s iCloud data handling practices. We do not have access to your iCloud account or its contents.

You can disable iCloud syncing at any time via iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud → FuseDrop.

🇪🇺 6. Legal Bases for Processing GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process data on the following legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and equivalent national laws:

Processing ActivityLegal Basis
Storing game state, settings, high score, and launch statistics on-device Legitimate interest — necessary to deliver core game functionality
iCloud sync of high score and premium status Legitimate interest — cross-device continuity expected by users
Showing personalised advertisements (Google AdMob) Consent — obtained via the Google UMP consent dialog (EEA/UK) and/or the Apple ATT prompt before any personalised ad is served
Accessing IDFA via App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt Consent — explicit user grant via the iOS ATT system prompt (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR)
Showing non-personalised / contextual advertisements Legitimate interest — necessary to fund the free version of the app
Processing in-app purchases (via Apple) Contract performance — necessary to fulfil the purchase agreement

We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling as defined in Article 22 of the GDPR.

FuseDrop is a general-audience game not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EEA/UK where applicable). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Continued use of FuseDrop after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. The current version is always available on our website and linked from the App Store listing.
