Privacy Policy
Last updated 19 September 2026
The short version. You can play Unlike without creating an account. Progress saves on your device and, when available, completed progress syncs through iCloud. We do not run analytics. Optional feedback is sent only after you review and send an email. Apple handles purchases, and the free version uses an advertising network as described below.
Game progress and iCloud
Your level progress, stars, best times, unlocked and purchased themes, chosen theme, and settings are written inside the app’s own storage on your iPhone or iPad. An unfinished board stays on that device. Deleting the app removes its local data.
When iCloud sync is available, completed level progress, stars, best times and earned themes sync through Apple’s iCloud service for the account on your device. This requires no Unlike account or developer-operated account database. We do not receive your Apple Account details. Settings shows the current sync status. Only progress that reached iCloud is recoverable through sync.
The app also stores local preferences such as whether you have already seen a feedback invitation, so it does not repeatedly ask.
This website
The daily puzzle on playunlike.com runs entirely in your browser. To keep your place if you reload, it saves today’s board, your time, and whether you have seen the instructions in your browser’s local storage. That data stays on your device and is replaced the next day. The site sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and shows no ads.
Like any website, the site is delivered by a hosting provider (Vercel), which processes standard request data such as your IP address to serve pages. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which receives the same kind of request data.
Feedback and support
Feedback is optional. If you choose to email feedback or contact support, the developer receives your email address and the message you send. The app’s feedback draft includes your selected topic, optional note, app version and level when available. You can review and edit the email before sending it. No message is sent automatically, and feedback is not published as an App Store review. If you copy feedback instead, it goes to your clipboard for you to use.
Support messages are used to respond to your request and improve Unlike. Do not include passwords, payment information or other sensitive details.
Game Center
Unlike supports optional achievements through Apple’s Game Center. When you use Game Center and are authenticated, the app sends achievement progress to Apple, associated with your Game Center player account. It also stores the achievement progress already reported for your Game Center player identifier locally on your device to avoid sending duplicate updates. This information is not sent to a developer-operated server.
Apple manages Game Center accounts and the visibility of your gaming activity according to your Game Center settings. You can play Unlike without using Game Center. See Apple’s Game Center privacy information for details.
Purchases
Unlike offers optional one-time purchases: removing ads, and buying individual themes or the theme bundle. Purchases are handled entirely by Apple’s App Store. We never receive or store your payment card, billing address, or Apple Account details. We receive only Apple’s confirmation that a purchase succeeded, which the app uses to unlock what you bought.
Advertising
The free version of Unlike may show full-screen advertisements after completed puzzles. You can also choose to watch a rewarded advertisement during a puzzle to receive one extra hint. Rewarded ads are optional; automatic ads do not interrupt a puzzle. Ads are served by Google AdMob, which may collect a device advertising identifier and basic technical information about your device in order to select and measure ads.
- Before ads begin, iOS may ask whether you allow tracking. If you decline, you still see ads, but they are not personalised. The game itself is identical either way.
- You can change your answer at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- Buying Remove Ads stops all advertising permanently, and with it any data the ad network would have collected.
- Google’s handling of this data is described in Google’s privacy policy.
What we do not do
- No account, name, email address or phone number is required to play.
- No analytics or crash-reporting SDK is embedded in the app.
- No location, contacts, photos, microphone, or camera access.
- We do not sell personal information or use support messages for advertising.
Children
Unlike is rated 4+ and is suitable for all ages. It collects no personal information as a condition of playing. Unlike has no in-app public chat or public user-generated content. Optional Game Center achievements are handled by Apple as described above. Optional email feedback is handled as described above; please avoid including personal details beyond what is needed for a support request.
Your rights
To reset levels and earned progress, use Settings → Reset game progress. When iCloud sync is active, that reset syncs to your other devices. Preferences and purchases are preserved. Deleting the app removes its local data; purchases remain with Apple. If you have sent a support message and want to request its deletion, contact the address below.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that affects what data is collected, the date at the top will change and the updated policy will be posted here before the change takes effect.
