Pattern Sketch Privacy Policy
Effective 8 November 2026
Pattern Sketch is an app for drawing patterns with pendulums, gravity wells, rosettes and bouncing balls. This policy explains what happens to your information.
What stays on your device
Your saved patterns, colours, sound and display settings, and your progress through the app are stored only on your device. We do not receive them. The app has no accounts and no analytics.
Advertising and the Remove ads purchase
The Android app shows a small banner ad provided by Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google and its partners may use your device's advertising ID, IP address and other device and usage data. Where the law requires it, such as in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, the app asks for your consent before any ad is requested, and you can review or change your choice later in Settings under Advertising privacy choices. Google's information about how it uses data from apps that use its services is at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
You can remove the ad with a one-time purchase made through Google Play. Google Play handles the payment and we do not receive your payment details. The app checks with Google Play whether your Google account has made the purchase, so that the ad stays removed and the purchase can be restored on another device. We do not create accounts or store anything about you for this.
Feedback you choose to send
The app has an optional Contact and feedback screen. If you send a message there, the text you type is sent to us through a Google Form. If you type an email address, that is sent too, and we use it only to reply to you. Sending feedback is entirely optional, and an email address is never required. Google processes form submissions under its own privacy policy. The message also notes whether it came from the Android app or the web version.
The app also lets you open your email app to write to us. In that case the message goes through your email provider.
Sharing
If you share an image or video of a pattern, the app hands it to the share menu on your device. You choose where it goes. We do not see it.
Permissions
Internet access is used to show ads, to check the Remove ads purchase with Google Play, and to send feedback you choose to send. Vibration is used for small touch feedback and can be switched off in Settings. The app uses the advertising ID so that ads can be shown. It does not ask for your location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos or files.
Children
The app does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. It has no accounts. The app is made for a general audience and is not directed at children. Ads are provided by Google AdMob.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new effective date.
