Pause It
Pause It privacy policy
Pause It ("the app") is a pause-challenge game for Android and iPhone made by Digcy (DIGCY SARL AU, Casablanca, Morocco; "we"). This policy explains what data the app uses and why. Contact: hello@digcy.com.
No account
You don't sign up or log in, and we never ask for your name, email or phone number. Your progress (levels and stars, aura and rank, coins, boosters, daily streak, purchases such as Remove ads, and settings such as sound, music and vibration) is saved on your phone, inside the app. Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage deletes it.
Your photos (CREATE)
If you use CREATE, you pick a photo with your phone's own photo picker. The app cuts the subject out on your phone (with Google's on-device MediaPipe models bundled in the app). Your photo is never uploaded to us or anyone else; we never see it. A reel you make is recorded on your phone. It only leaves your phone if you choose to share it (through your phone's share menu, to the app you pick) or save it to your phone's Movies folder.
Ads (Google AdMob)
The app shows ads through Google AdMob (Google LLC): a banner in its own strip under the game, a full-screen ad between levels, and optional rewarded videos (for example to continue, for a free booster or to double your coins). To show, measure and limit ads and to prevent fraud, Google and its ad partners may collect your device's advertising ID and other device identifiers, your IP address and approximate location, device and app information, how you interact with the app and with ads, and diagnostics such as crash and performance data. This data is collected by and shared with Google for advertising.
In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland the app first shows Google's consent form, where you can consent, refuse or pick options; you can change your choice any time in the game's Settings → Ad privacy choices. Everywhere you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings. Buying Remove ads or the starter pack turns off the banner and the between-level ads. How Google uses data from apps that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Purchases (Google Play)
Coin packs, the starter pack and Remove ads are bought through Google Play Billing. Google handles the payment; we never see your card or payment details. Google tells the app which items you bought so it can give you your coins and restore Remove ads (Settings → Restore purchases). Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
Ratings
Now and then the app may show Google Play's own in-app rating card. Google decides whether it appears, and we never learn whether or how you rated.
What we don't do
The app asks for internet access, network state and vibration only. It doesn't ask for your location, contacts or microphone, and it can only see a photo you pick or take yourself (on iPhone the camera is used only if you choose to take a photo). We don't sell your data and don't use it for anything other than what's described here.

On iPhone (iOS app)
The iPhone app shows ads through Google AdMob (Google). On first launch, where the law requires it (for example in the EU and UK), Google's consent message asks how your data may be used for ads; you can change your choice later in the game's settings. Then iOS asks whether the app may track you (Apple's App Tracking Transparency). If you choose "Ask App Not to Track", the app never reads your advertising ID (IDFA) and ads are not personalised with it. AdMob may still collect your IP address (approximate location), device and usage information to show, measure and protect ads; see how Google uses information from apps.
On iPhone, coin packs, the starter pack and Remove ads are bought through Apple In-App Purchase. Apple handles the payment and your Apple ID; we never see your card or payment details. "Restore purchases" asks Apple what you own.
On iPhone, the app may now and then show Apple's own rating prompt. Apple decides whether it appears, and we never learn whether or how you rated.
On iPhone, CREATE can use the camera, but only if you choose "Take Photo" and allow it; otherwise you pick a photo from your library with the iOS photo picker. Cutting out your face happens on your phone, and the photo is never uploaded. When you save a reel, iOS asks once for permission to add it to your Photos.
Children
Pause It is meant for players aged 13 and over. It isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has sent us data, email us and we'll delete it.
Your choices and rights
You can change your ad choices in Settings → Ad privacy choices (EEA, UK, Switzerland) or by resetting your advertising ID, and delete the data on your phone by uninstalling the app or clearing its storage. See how to delete your data. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to access or correct your data; email us and we'll help.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date above. Questions or requests: hello@digcy.com.
