Privacy policy

Effective 13 November 2026

Elf Kick: Naughty or Nice ("the game") is made to be played, not to collect information about you. It has no accounts, no ads and no tracking.

What the game sends

If "Share anonymous stats" is on in Settings (it is by default), the game sends anonymous usage statistics to TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service in the EU. They tell us how the game is played so we can make it better, for example:

• how a run went: the mode, the distance (rounded to 100 m), the zone reached, boosts and power-ups used;
• progress: reaching a new level, finishing a mission, opening the daily stocking, playing an Advent door;
• in-game purchases made with candy canes (what and for how many canes), and how the first-run story and tour went;
• standard details that come with every signal: the game's version, the iOS version, the iPhone model, screen size, language, region and time zone, light or dark mode, and how many days and sessions you've played.

None of this says who you are. There's no name, email, Game Center ID, advertising ID, IP address or location. The game makes a random ID for this install, which is salted and hashed before it leaves your iPhone, so returning players can be counted without being identified. Nothing is sold or shared with anyone else, and nothing is used for advertising.

You can switch "Share anonymous stats" off at any time in Settings; nothing more is sent after that.

What stays with Apple

• Purchases are made through the App Store. We never see your payment details.
• Game Center leaderboards and achievements are run by Apple, under Apple's privacy policy.
• Your progress is saved on your iPhone and in your own iCloud, so it can follow you to another iPhone. We can't see it.
• Reminders, if you allow them, are scheduled on your iPhone. Nothing is sent to us.

Children

The game is rated 9+. It doesn't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
