Neon Thread

Privacy Policy - Last Updated: September 2026

1. General Audience Commitment

Neon Thread is built for everyone, including children. We are committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and, for users in the EU/EEA, the GDPR's provisions on children's data (GDPR-K). We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, regardless of age, beyond the limited technical data described below.

2. No Personal Data Collection

We do not ask for or collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical addresses. We do not access your personal files, contacts, photos, or messages. There is no account creation required to play.

3. Third-Party Services

To provide gameplay features and stay free to play, Neon Thread uses the following third parties. Each handles a limited amount of technical data under their own privacy policies, linked below:

If your Appodeal mediation stack also includes other networks (e.g. Meta Audience Network, Vungle, IronSource), add their names and privacy policy links here to keep this list accurate and matching your live app-ads.txt.

We configure these ad partners to serve age-appropriate, general-audience ads and, where the platform allows it, to limit ad personalization for child-directed content in accordance with COPPA and Google Play's Families/child-safety policies.

4. Data We Use

The only data processed is technical and non-identifiable:

5. Consent Management (EEA, UK & Switzerland)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, Neon Thread displays a consent prompt the first time you open the app, provided through Appodeal's Stack Consent Manager (built on Google's User Messaging Platform) in line with the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework. This lets you choose whether to allow personalized advertising before any ad-related data is used. You can review or withdraw your consent choice at any time from the Settings menu.

Where we detect that a user may be a child, the app is configured to skip the personalized-ad consent request and serve only non-personalized, general-audience ads by default.

6. Data Retention & Security

High scores synced via Google Play Games Services are retained by Google under their own retention policy until you reset them or delete your Google Play Games data. We do not operate our own servers or databases that store player data. Technical data passes through Google, Appodeal, and their mediated ad networks under those companies' security practices.

7. Safety and Security

Neon Thread has no chat, messaging, or image-sharing features between players. There is no way for players to contact each other through the game.

8. Your Rights

9. Children's Privacy

Because Neon Thread is designed for a general audience that may include children under 13, we do not collect any personally identifiable information from any user, and we do not permit behavioral advertising targeted at children where prohibited by law. Parents with questions about their child's use of the app can contact us using the details below.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
