Privacy Policy

Turbo Tinkers is a game for children. We built it so that it does not need to know anything about the child playing it, and it doesn't ask. This policy covers the Turbo Tinkers app for iPhone and iPad, the free web demo, and this website.

The short version

• We do not collect, store or share personal information from anyone, children or adults.
• There are no ads, no analytics, no tracking and no third-party advertising or data tools in the app, the demo or this website.
• There are no accounts, no chat and no way for players to contact each other.
• Game progress stays on your own device.

Information in the game

When a player creates a tinkerer, the game saves their chosen character, difficulty level, settings and progress (parts found, doors opened, races won). This is stored only on the device, in the app's own storage, or in your browser's local storage for the web demo. It is never sent to us or anyone else. Deleting the app, or clearing your browser's site data for the demo, erases it.

Spoken lines are produced by your device's built-in text-to-speech voice. Turbo Tinkers does not use the microphone, camera, contacts, photos or location.

Purchases

The full game is unlocked with a single in-app purchase through Apple's App Store. Apple handles the payment and your Apple account. We never see your name, email or payment details. A grown-up check appears before the purchase screen. To restore a purchase on a new device, open the grown-ups settings and tap Restore Purchases.

This website

This website uses no cookies, analytics or ads, and has no sign-up forms. Like any website, the company that hosts it receives the standard technical information a browser sends to load a page, such as an IP address and browser type, in order to deliver it. We do not collect or use that information.

The web demo may load parts of its game engine from a public code library service, which receives the same standard technical information.

Children's privacy

Because Turbo Tinkers collects no personal information, it does not collect personal information from children under 13 or any other age. If you believe a child has somehow sent us personal information, for example in a support email, contact us and we will delete it.

Emails to support

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write. We use it only to answer you, never for marketing, and we delete support emails once the question is settled. Please don't include a child's personal details.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update it on this page and change the date at the top. If a change ever meant collecting any information, we would say so here before it happened.
