Privacy Policy
Effective date: 7 October 2026
Shovey keeps your game progress on your device. We run no accounts and no servers. Ads come from Google AdMob, which collects some data, and asks for your consent first where the law requires it.
What stays on your device
Your player name, coins, gems, unlocked cosmetics, settings and match stats are saved only on your device. Shovey has no accounts, no chat and no server of ours that receives this data. We do not collect it.
Advertising
Shovey shows ads through Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google may collect:
- device identifiers, including the Advertising Identifier, only if you allow tracking;
- your IP address and approximate location;
- information about the ads you see and tap.
If you are in the UK or EEA, Shovey asks for your consent before any ad loads. You can change your choice any time in Settings › Privacy choices. On iOS, Apple asks whether Shovey may track you, and you can change that in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
Google's use of this data is covered by its privacy policy and by how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
Purchases
The Remove Ads subscription is handled entirely by Apple. We never see your payment details. The app only asks the App Store whether your subscription is active.
Your rights
Because we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to export or delete. For data held by Google through ads, use the controls above or Google's own tools. You can also contact us with any question about your rights under UK data protection law.
Children
Shovey is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.
Who we are
Shovey is made by Fosters Digital, run by Louis Foster in the United Kingdom. Fosters Digital is the controller of any personal data described in this policy.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address with a new effective date.
