Privacy policy

Your puzzles, purchases and privacy choices.

PourVolt: Color Sort is developed by Nir Hemo under Mythvolt Studios. This page explains the current prerelease implementation and the connected services planned for the iPhone release. Connected services may be unavailable in prerelease builds. The game does not require a separate Mythvolt account.

Last updated: 8 November 2026

Audience

PourVolt is intended for a broad audience, primarily teens and adults, and is not designed for Apple’s Kids Category. The game does not ask players for their age. Parents or guardians can manage purchases and app access through Apple’s family and device controls. Contact support with a concern about a child’s information.

Game information on your iPhone

The app saves completed levels, unfinished puzzles, move history, sound and accessibility preferences, hint credits, and purchase records on your device. Game identifiers and receipt records help resume the right puzzle and prevent a reward or purchase from being delivered twice.

We do not add a separate Mythvolt gameplay analytics service. Advertising and platform providers can process their own service information as described below.

Offline play and connection checks

Puzzles, Undo and Restart work without an internet connection. Each offline session includes three free hints, with the remaining allowance saved across app launches. A new allowance requires a confirmed internet connection. While active, the app can contact the studio website to check whether the internet is available. This check does not send your game profile or an advertising identifier. Cloudflare, which hosts the site, can process connection information such as your IP address.

Private iCloud recovery

When enabled and available, recovery stores a private copy of your game data in Apple’s iCloud through CloudKit. This includes unfinished boards and their history, completed progress, purchased tube allocations, pending purchase value, hint records and records that prevent already-consumed items from returning. Random game identifiers associate purchase delivery with the correct recovery profile.

The app uses the iCloud account signed in on your device; it does not ask for your Apple password. Recovery depends on the same iCloud account, iCloud availability, sufficient storage and a completed save. Local play can continue without a connection. Changes that have not reached iCloud cannot be promised after deletion or device loss.

Apple operates iCloud and the App Store under Apple’s privacy policy.

Advertising and consent

PourVolt integrates Google AdMob for automatic ads at eligible puzzle breaks and optional videos that give one hint. Google’s consent messages manage applicable regional advertising choices. Apple’s native tracking permission is a separate choice; the app does not replace it with its own permission dialog.

The current implementation requests non-personalized ads, disables Google publisher first-party IDs and the SDK’s coarse-location collection setting, and does not request location permission. Non-personalized advertising still involves data processing. Google’s Mobile Ads SDK may process IP addresses, approximate location derived from IP, device or advertising identifiers when permitted, ad interactions, diagnostics and performance information for advertising delivery, measurement and service protection. See Google’s iOS SDK data disclosure and Google’s advertising privacy information.

Declining tracking does not change puzzle access, difficulty, purchase prices, free Undo and Restart, or the value of a rewarded hint. Ad availability can vary. Manage tracking in iOS Settings and reopen Privacy choices in the game’s Settings when that option is available. A privacy choice itself does not earn a reward.

Apple purchases

Apple StoreKit handles purchase authorization and billing. The app receives verified transaction information, including product and transaction identifiers, purchase status and revocation information, to deliver purchased items and restore eligible permanent ownership. Tube purchases also send a random recovery-profile identifier to Apple to associate the purchase with the correct saved game. We do not receive your payment-card number. Tube purchase records are also included in the recovery data so one verified purchase is not spent twice.

Support and this website

If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include. Send only what is needed to explain the issue; do not send passwords or payment-card details. Studio support mail is forwarded through Cloudflare and handled through Google’s email service.

The page source contains no marketing forms or separately added analytics scripts. Mythvolt’s public website uses Cloudflare hosting, security and performance services. Cloudflare can process connection and request information such as an IP address and may add its own performance beacon to hosted pages. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

Keeping and removing information

Game records are kept to preserve progress and reconcile rewards and purchases. Deleting the app removes its local game files; offloading can retain them. Data in iCloud or device backups may remain. Removing a cloud copy can remove your ability to recover its progress and consumable items. Manage iCloud storage through your Apple account settings. Review your saved status before deleting anything.

Support correspondence is kept as needed to resolve the request, follow-up and related security, dispute or legal obligations. Apple, Google and Cloudflare retain information in their services according to their own policies. Contact us about information held by Mythvolt Studios or removal guidance.

Security and service providers

We use the platform’s storage and purchase-verification features to protect game data. No storage or transmission method is completely secure. Service providers may process information outside your country, under their privacy policies and applicable protections.

When we share personal information with service providers, our privacy requirements are that they provide protection at least equivalent to this policy and the applicable App Store Review Guidelines. Providers describe their processing and safeguards in their linked policies, including Google’s privacy policy.

Policy updates

We may update this policy when the game or its services change. The effective date identifies this version. The policy bundled in the app is available without an internet connection.
