Crates — Privacy Policy

Applies to the Crates app for Android — thirty hand-built box-pushing jobs, offline.

Last updated: 4 November 2026

Who we are

Crates is published by Daniel Petrica / Grozav.dev (“we”, “us”). Contact for privacy questions: [email protected]. Website: danielpetrica.com.

What the app does with your data

We collect nothing. Crates has no account system, no sign-in, no ads, no analytics and no server of ours. Nothing you do in the app is transmitted to us or to anyone else. The game is fully playable offline.

  • Job progress — which jobs you have delivered, your best moves, whether a job was solved at par (the master stamp), clean seals and the local “tonight tally” are stored in a local database inside the app on your device.
  • Saved job — an in-progress job (the board, move and push counters and the undo history) is saved locally so you can leave and continue where you stopped.
  • Settings — haptics (vibration), sound and control preferences are stored locally on your device.
  • No upload, no sync, no backup of game data — we never receive this data. Android Auto Backup and device-to-device transfer are disabled for the app's local game data. There is no analytics, advertising or crash-reporting SDK in the app.
  • No account or profile information — the app does not ask for your name, email address or any other personal detail, and it does not read device identifiers.

Permissions

The only permission the app declares is vibration, used for the optional haptic feedback on pushes, jams and deliveries; it can be switched off in Settings. The app does not request or use camera, microphone, location, contacts, calendar, SMS, call logs, photos, files or health data. It declares no internet permission and works exactly the same in airplane mode.

Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, share or transfer any data, because we do not collect or receive any. There are no third-party advertising or analytics partners in the app.

Your choices and deleting your data

  • You can clear your recorded progress inside the app: Settings → Reset progress.
  • Uninstalling the app deletes its local database and all game data from your device.
  • Because nothing is stored on our side, there is nothing for us to delete on request — we simply never receive your data.

Children

Crates is a general-audience puzzle game and is not directed at children under 13. Because the app collects no data at all, we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
