Tugtown · Djemba Games
Last updated: September 21, 2026
Tugtown is a mobile puzzle game made by Djemba Games ("we", "us"). This page explains what information the app collects, why, and how you can control it.
We don't run our own servers, and Tugtown has no account or sign-in system. We don't collect your name, email address, photos, contacts, or location, and the app never asks for access to your camera or microphone.
The app does use a small number of third-party services to understand how the game is played and to show ads. Those services collect some data directly, on their own servers, as described below.
Before any analytics or advertising service starts, Tugtown asks for your consent.
If Google's consent tool determines you're in a region where consent is required — the European Economic Area, the UK, Switzerland and some other places — you'll see a consent dialog the first time you open the game. We don't detect your location ourselves: that decision is made by Google's consent tool based on its own region detection, and we simply act on the answer.
If you decline that dialog, we don't collect analytics at all. GameAnalytics is never started. You'll still see ads, because ads are what keep the game free — they just won't be personalized to you.
You can change your answer at any time: open Settings (the gear icon, top right) and choose Privacy options. This entry appears only if you're in a region where the consent dialog applies.
Separately, on iOS, Apple will ask whether Tugtown can track you across other companies' apps and websites. That's a different question, and it's covered further down.
We use GameAnalytics to see which levels are too easy or too hard, and whether new features work as intended. It automatically collects general device information (device model, operating system version, language, and similar) and a device identifier used to tell one player's sessions apart from another's — on iOS, this is your device's "identifier for vendor," a value tied to Djemba Games' apps specifically, not shared with other developers, and not tied to your real identity.
It also receives the gameplay events the game sends, all tied to that anonymous device identifier rather than to you:
None of this includes anything you type or create — Tugtown has no text input, chat, or player profile. No parameter we send identifies you.
Legal basis (if you're in the EEA or UK): your consent.
Full details: GameAnalytics' privacy notice.
Tugtown shows ads — a short video between levels, and an optional "watch an ad for extra moves" offer — through Unity LevelPlay, an ad mediation service by Unity Technologies. LevelPlay currently uses Unity Ads to supply the ads you see; that may change as we add or remove ad networks in future updates, in which case this page will be updated.
To show and measure ads, Unity's ad services collect device information and an advertising identifier, and receive events about ads shown, clicked, or completed. On iOS, the advertising identifier (IDFA) is only available to them if you allow tracking when iOS asks (see below) — without it, ads still work, they're just not personalized to you.
Legal basis (if you're in the EEA or UK): consent for personalized advertising; legitimate interest for showing non-personalized ads, measuring them, and preventing fraud.
Full details: Unity's Game Player and App User Privacy Policy (covers both LevelPlay/ironSource and Unity Ads). California residents can also use Unity's Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page.
Google does not serve ads in Tugtown and does not receive gameplay or analytics data from us.
Google is present for one purpose only: its User Messaging Platform provides the consent dialog described above, and records your answer so we can pass it on to the advertising service. Google's own privacy policy applies to that: Google Privacy Policy.
After you've played a few levels, iOS will ask whether Tugtown can track you across other companies' apps and websites. This is Apple's own system permission, not something we built — Apple explains it here.
You can say no. The game works exactly the same either way — you'll still see ads and be able to earn bonus moves by watching one, they just won't be tailored to you if you decline. You can change your answer at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
Your level progress, stars, settings and Time Challenge records are saved in ordinary app storage on your phone. We don't upload them anywhere, and there's no cloud save — if you delete the app, they're gone.
To be precise about one thing: the saved values themselves never leave your device, but the same underlying facts — which level you finished, how long a Time Challenge run took — are also sent to GameAnalytics as the events listed above, if you consented to analytics.
We don't ask for your name, email, photos, contacts, precise location, or access to your camera or microphone. There's no account to create, no login, and nothing you type into the app.
We don't store any of this data ourselves — we have no servers and no database. The data described above sits with GameAnalytics and Unity, and how long each keeps it is set out in their privacy policies, linked above. If you'd like it removed, see "Your rights" below.
Data saved on your own device stays there until you delete the app.
Tugtown isn't directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect data from children.
In the United States, we don't knowingly collect data from children under 13. In the European Economic Area and the UK, the age at which someone can consent on their own behalf is 16 in most countries, though some set it lower (as low as 13) — we don't knowingly collect data from anyone below the age that applies where they live.
If you believe a child has used the app and you'd like their device's data removed, email us at info@djembagames.com and we'll help route the request.
To exercise any of these, use the provider links above, or email us at info@djembagames.com and we'll help route the request. Because we have no account system, we may ask you for your device's identifier so the right records can be found.
If what we collect changes — for example, if we add a new ad network or an in-app purchase — we'll update this page and the date at the top.
