Privacy Policy
Last updated: 3 November 2026
This policy covers the games Glide and Creaking Hinge, made by Lux Web Ventures Ltd ("we"). The shared sections apply to both games, and each game's own section says what is particular to it.
The short version
We don't run any servers, accounts or analytics, and we never see your information. The games show ads from Google AdMob, and Google collects some information to show them, as described below. iCloud and Game Center data is handled by Apple.
Ads (Google AdMob)
The games show full-screen ads and optional rewarded ads from Google AdMob. To show and measure them, Google's software in the game may collect your device's advertising identifier (only if you allow tracking), your IP address and approximate location, information about the ads you see and tap, and crash and performance data. Google uses this under its own policy: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
- Your choice on tracking. The game asks once, through Apple's prompt, whether apps may track you. If you say no, ads are not personalised. You can change this any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
- UK and EU players are shown Google's consent form before any ads load, and can change their choice later.
- US players in states with privacy laws can opt out of the sale or sharing of their data for ads.
- Privacy choices. The Privacy choices button in Settings (Ad privacy choices in Creaking Hinge) lets you review your choices.
- Rewarded ads are always optional. Each game's section below says which purchases turn ads off.
iCloud
Where a game offers it, your progress and settings are copied to your own iCloud account and stored by Apple. We cannot access it. You can turn it off in Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
Game Center
Where a game offers it, your scores and achievements are sent to Apple's Game Center. We receive no name or other details. You can sign out in Settings > Game Center.
Glide
- Your progress and settings are stored on your iPhone and synced through iCloud as described above. We never see them.
- Tilt and hinge readings are used in the moment and are not recorded or sent anywhere.
- Scores and achievements go to Game Center as described above.
- Remove Ads and All Worlds turn off ads between levels. Rewarded ads remain optional.
Creaking Hinge
- Your progress and settings are saved only on your device. Deleting the game deletes them.
- On iPhone Duo, the hinge angle is read while you play to open the door on screen. It is not recorded or sent anywhere.
- Your Own Ghost photos. You pick one photo with Apple's photo picker, so the game only sees that photo. It is cut out on your device using Apple's Vision framework, saved in the game's own storage, and never uploaded. Deleting the game deletes it.
- Remove Ads turns ads off entirely.
- If iCloud or Game Center are added later, the shared sections above apply.
Purchases
In-app purchases are handled by Apple through the App Store. We receive no payment details, name or email. Apple's privacy policy applies to them: apple.com/legal/privacy
Children
The games are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Your rights
We hold no personal information about you, so there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete. Information collected by Google and Apple is covered by their own policies above. If you have a question, contact us and we will reply.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new date.
