Last updated: October 17, 2026
Welcome to Pizzle: Pizza Cooking Puzzle (“Pizzle”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), a delightful pizza culinary puzzle game brought to you by Joytrons. Your privacy is essential to us. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how it is used, and the steps we take to protect your data when you download, install, and play Pizzle on your mobile device.
1. Information We Collect
We believe in data minimization. Pizzle collects only the minimal data necessary to deliver smooth puzzle gameplay, save your culinary progress, and maintain game stability. This includes:
Gameplay & Culinary Progress Data:
Completed puzzle levels, star ratings, chef achievements, and high scores.
Unlocked pizza recipes, kitchen ingredients, collected toppings, and oven upgrades.
In-game preferences including sound effects volume, background music volume, haptic feedback, and local puzzle notifications.
In-App Purchases & Virtual Goods:
Pizzle may offer optional in-app purchases (such as puzzle hints, recipe packs, ingredient boosters, extra moves, or ad-removal upgrades).
All in-app purchases and billing transactions are processed directly and securely by Apple via the App Store. We do not collect, process, or store your credit card numbers, payment accounts, or financial billing details.
Technical & Device Diagnostics:
Device model, hardware specifications, operating system version, system language, and display resolution.
Technical logs, frame-rate performance data, and crash reports utilized exclusively to diagnose errors and optimize gameplay performance.
Aggregated Analytics Data:
Non-personally identifiable telemetry regarding puzzle completion rates, level difficulty curves, and gameplay session duration collected through privacy-focused analytics tools (such as Apple App Analytics or Google Firebase). This data is strictly aggregated, cannot identify you personally, and is solely used to balance puzzle challenges and improve player experience.
Player Support Communications:
If you reach out to our customer support team via email, we collect your email address and any feedback or message content you provide to resolve your question or issue.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information exclusively for legitimate game purposes:
To provide, operate, and maintain all features and mechanics of Pizzle.
To save and synchronize your puzzle progress, unlocked pizza recipes, and achievements locally on your device or via Apple iCloud / Game Center.
To process, validate, and restore your digital purchases and recipe bundles.
To monitor puzzle balance, adjust recipe difficulty, and fix technical bugs.
To provide responsive customer support and communicate game updates.
To protect against unauthorized modifications, cheating, and maintain fair play.
We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party data brokers or advertisers.
3. Third-Party Services
Pizzle may interact with trusted third-party services that adhere to stringent privacy standards:
Apple Game Center & iCloud: For optional cloud-based save syncing, achievements, and player leaderboards.
Apple In-App Purchases: For secure purchase processing and restoring previous transactions.
Analytics & Diagnostics (Apple Analytics, Google Firebase): For anonymized crash reporting and gameplay performance analysis.
Advertising (if applicable): If non-intrusive or optional rewarded video ads (such as watching an ad to earn a recipe hint) are displayed, advertising partners process technical identifiers in strict compliance with Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework.
4. Data Storage and Security
Your puzzle progress and culinary unlocks are stored securely on your local device and, if enabled, backed up via Apple iCloud.
We implement industry-standard administrative, physical, and technical measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
If you delete or uninstall Pizzle from your device, locally stored progress may be lost unless backed up via iCloud or Game Center.

We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and applicable international child data protection frameworks. We do not knowingly collect, harvest, or request personal data from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age threshold in your territory).
