Woof Systems' Privacy Policy for Drop Drops
Woof Systems collects very little information from Drop Drops,
and shares none of it with anyone outside of Woof Systems.
Drop Drops is built using the Corona SDK from Corona Labs. Apps built with that SDK send information to Corona's servers. Thus, Drop Drops is covered by Corona Labs' Privacy Policy as well, which can be found here.
What is Collected?
Drop Drops sends to Woof Systems' servers the following information:
- The version of Drop Drops being played.
- The operating system version of the device.
- The device type (iPad, iPhone, etc.)
- For how many seconds Drop Drops has been played.
- Statistics about the current board being played, such as the best score, and number of moves made.
- A made up identifier generated the first time Drop Drops connects to WoofSystems, that identifies this particular copy of Drop Drops.
Note this is identifier is NOT the Apple UDID that identifies the device across all apps. This identifier is made up for Drop Drops only, and can only identify one copy of Drop Drops. If that copy is deleted, and a new copy of Drop Drops is installed, a new identifier will be generated. The identifier is maintained across version updates. There is no personal identifying information that can be derived from this identifier.
- Server log information, which includes date and time the information was sent, and the IP address of the device doing the sending.
Why is it Collected?
Woof Systems is interested in how many players are playing Drop Drops, and for how long. We are also interested in seeing what devices and versions are the most popular for targeting updates and new features.
How often is Collected?
The collected information is sent to Woof Systems every time the Drop Drops app is started, or a game ends, but not if less than 24 hours has elapsed since the last time it was sent. Thus at most once every 24 hours. An exception to this occurs when a new best score is achieved, it is reported shortly thereafter.
How long is it Kept?
- Server log information is kept for at most 90 days.
- Aggregated statistics are kept forever.
- The last update from each copy is kept until the next update.
Who besides Woof Systems can see it?
No one outside of Woof Systems is authorized to see this information.
