Privacy policy
This policy covers the Arrow Doodle app for Android and this website. It describes exactly what each one collects, why, and what you can do about it. It is written to be read, not to be survived.
Effective 19 August 2026. Covers Arrow Doodle (com.bba.gma.aidafrtnth) and this website.
The short version
Arrow Doodle does not ask for your name, your email address or your phone number. You can install it, play all 1,000 levels and never tell us anything about yourself.
It creates an anonymous identifier so your progress has somewhere to live. It shows advertisements only when you choose to watch one. If you sign in with Google — which is optional — your progress is backed up so it survives a new phone.
This website measures which pages get read, and nothing else. It serves no advertisements, builds no profile of you, and you can switch the measurement off below.
Who we are
Pixel Fresh Studio is the developer of Arrow Doodle and the operator of pixelfreshstudio.com and arrowdoodle.pixelfreshstudio.com. For anything in this policy, write to info@pixelfreshstudio.com.
What the app stores on your device
Your level progress, stars and best times.
Your settings — theme, sound, haptics, language.
Your coin and hint balances.
All of it is removed when you uninstall the app.
Your anonymous account
The first time you open Arrow Doodle it creates an anonymous account through Firebase Authentication. This is an identifier and nothing more — it has no name, no email address and no connection to you. Its only job is to give your saved progress a key.
If you later sign in with Google, that same anonymous account is linked to your Google account rather than replaced, so nothing is lost. Only at that point do we hold an email address and a profile photo, and they are used for one thing: showing them on your own profile screen.
Signing in is entirely optional. Everything in the game works without it.
Progress in the cloud
For signed-in players, progress and profile are stored in Google Firestore so a new device can pick them up. This is the only reason anything leaves your phone.
Advertising
Arrow Doodle shows advertisements through Google AdMob. There is one format and one only: a rewarded video you choose to watch, when you want a hint or a life back. There are no advertisements between levels, none during a level, and none anywhere you did not ask for one.
AdMob may use your device's Advertising ID to select and measure advertisements. The app declares the AD_ID permission for this reason.
You can reset or delete your Advertising ID at any time in Android's Settings → Privacy → Ads. Doing so does not affect the game.
Consent, if you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland
Before any personalised advertisement is shown, the app presents Google's consent form through the User Messaging Platform, and your choice is respected. You can change it later from Settings inside the app.
Notifications
If you allow it, the app sends one kind of notification: a reminder that the daily challenge is waiting. It uses Firebase Cloud Messaging.
Android asks for permission before the first one is sent, and you can refuse, or turn them off later in Android's app settings or in the game's own settings.
What the app does not do
It does not collect crash reports — Crashlytics is not installed.
It does not run Firebase Analytics, or any other analytics SDK.
It does not read your contacts, your photos, your files, your location, your microphone or your camera. It requests none of those permissions.
It does not sell or share personal information, and there is nothing to sell: no name, no email address, no phone number and no location ever reaches us unless you sign in with Google, and then only your email address and profile photo.
Permissions the app requests, and why
- INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE — for advertisements and for cloud backup. The levels are on your device, so the game plays offline.
- VIBRATE — the small haptic tap when an arrow leaves. You can turn it off in Settings.
- POST_NOTIFICATIONS — the daily-challenge reminder, if you allow it.
- AD_ID — Google's advertising identifier, used by AdMob.
Children
Arrow Doodle is rated Everyone and is suitable for all ages, but it is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, write to info@pixelfreshstudio.com and we will delete it.
Your rights
You can play entirely anonymously — that is the default.
You can sign out at any time, which removes the account details from your device.
You can ask us to delete your cloud data by writing to info@pixelfreshstudio.com from the address you signed in with. We will do it within 30 days.
Uninstalling the app removes everything stored on your device.
This website
This website uses Google Analytics, through Firebase, to count page views. That is the whole of it: which pages are read, roughly where in the world from, and on what kind of device. It tells us whether the writing on this site is doing its job.
It sets Google Analytics' own cookies to tell one visit from the next. They hold a random identifier and nothing else — no name, no email address, and nothing you have typed anywhere.
Google's advertising features are switched off in our configuration: no Google Signals, no ad personalisation, and IP addresses are truncated before they are stored. This site shows no advertisements and sells nothing to anybody.
The playable demo at arrowdoodle.pixelfreshstudio.com saves which levels you have cleared in your browser's local storage. It never leaves your browser, and clearing your site data removes it.
Our web host keeps standard server logs, including IP addresses, for security and troubleshooting.
Third parties
The services above are provided by Google, and their own handling of data is covered by Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will update the effective date at the top and describe the change here. Material changes affecting the app will also be noted in the app's release notes.
