Privacy Policy
Last updated 19 September 2026
This policy explains how the iOS apps published by Ashutosh Bhardwaj, an independent developer based in Ontario, Canada, handle information. It applies to Flashing Numbers, COOP Hockey, COOP Racer and Easy Ear Tuner (together, "the apps").
The short version
The apps have no accounts, no sign-in and no server of their own. Nothing you do in an app is sent to the developer. The apps do show ads, and the advertising networks that supply those ads collect information about your device. That is the only data collection involved.
Information the developer collects
None. The apps do not ask for your name, email address, phone number or any other personal detail, and they do not transmit anything to a server operated by the developer.
Information stored on your device
The apps save small amounts of data locally so they can remember things between sessions. In Flashing Numbers this is your best reaction times, accuracy and number of completed runs for each difficulty. Other apps store settings, scores and purchase status in the same way.
This information stays on your device, is never uploaded, and is deleted when you delete the app.
Advertising
The apps display ads supplied by Google AdMob and, in some apps, Meta Audience Network. These are independent companies, and to select and measure ads they may collect:
- your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) and other device identifiers
- approximate (coarse) location, derived from your IP address
- which ads you were shown and whether you interacted with them
- device and diagnostic information, such as device model, operating system version, crash reports and performance data
This information is handled under those companies' own privacy policies, not this one:
Tracking and your choice
On first launch the app asks, through Apple's standard App Tracking Transparency prompt, whether it may track your activity across other companies' apps and websites.
If you decline, the advertising identifier is not shared and you will see non-personalised ads instead. The app works exactly the same either way โ nothing is withheld or degraded. You can change your answer at any time in Settings โ Privacy & Security โ Tracking, and you can turn off personalised ads from Google at adssettings.google.com.
Children
The apps are not directed to children under 13 and are not part of Apple's Kids Category. The developer does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Data retention and deletion
Because the developer holds no data about you, there is nothing to request or delete. Removing the app deletes everything it stored on your device. To limit what the advertising networks hold, use the tracking and ad-settings controls described above.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the revised version will be posted on this page with a new date at the top.
