Pizza Cutter: Cozy Slices
Pizza Cutter is made by two people. There are no accounts and no servers of ours, and your progress stays on your phone. Three things do reach other companies: advertising data, anonymous gameplay statistics (from version 1.1), and your best scores if you use Game Center (from version 1.1). This page says exactly what and why.
The game saves the following in its own storage on your iPhone. It is not sent to us, and we cannot read it. The gameplay statistics and leaderboard scores described below are the only parts of it that leave the phone:
Deleting the app deletes all of it. An iPhone backup carries it to a new phone. Purchases are the one thing that survives deleting the app, because Apple — not we — remembers them.
The game shows ads between runs, and offers optional rewarded ads: to continue a run, and to peek at an order in the Daily Special. Ads are served through Unity LevelPlay, which asks Unity Ads, Google AdMob, Liftoff and other ad networks for an ad to show. To do that, those companies receive information from your device, which typically includes:
We use this only to show ads and to see how much the ads earned in total. We do not receive a profile of you, and we cannot look up an individual player.
These partners act on their own behalf for this data. What they do with it is governed by their own policies:
| Partner | What it does for us | Its privacy policy |
|---|---|---|
| Unity Technologies (LevelPlay, Unity Ads, and from version 1.1 Unity Analytics and Remote Config) | Chooses which ad network fills each ad slot and reports earnings (LevelPlay), supplies ads (Unity Ads), and records gameplay statistics and serves game settings (Unity Analytics and Remote Config) | unity.com/legal/game-player-and-app-user-privacy-policy |
| Google (AdMob, and the User Messaging Platform) | Supplies ads, and shows the consent form where one is required | policies.google.com/privacy and how Google uses data from apps that use its services |
| Liftoff (Liftoff Monetize) | Supplies ads | liftoff.ai/privacy-policy |
| Apple | Distributes the app, processes every purchase, and runs Game Center’s leaderboards | apple.com/legal/privacy |
LevelPlay may pass a request to other ad networks it mediates. The current list is visible in our LevelPlay account and can change; each such network receives the same kind of advertising information described above and is bound by its own policy and by Unity’s terms.
From version 1.1, the game uses Unity Analytics to record how it is played, and Unity Remote Config to fetch a few game settings (such as how often ads play between runs and how closely a Daily Special shape has to match). Both are part of Unity Gaming Services. They send Unity:
When: outside the EU and the UK, from when the game starts. In the EU and the UK, only if you allow Unity on the consent form; until then neither Unity Analytics nor Remote Config is started, and the game uses its built-in settings. You can change that answer at any time in Settings › PRIVACY OPTIONS.
Separately, the Unity engine the game is built with sends Unity basic performance and crash information about the device and the app.
We use these statistics to understand how the game is played and to tune it. We do not sell them, and they do not tell us who you are.
The leaderboards in Records are Apple Game Center’s. If you are signed in to Game Center, the game submits your scores in Slice Rush, Endless Shift and the Daily Special to Apple, which shows your best ones to other players under your Game Center name. Signing in is optional, and the game never receives your Apple Account details. Apple’s policy, linked above, covers Game Center; you can sign out in iOS Settings › Game Center.
The Supporter Pack and the cosmetic theme packs are bought through the App Store using Apple’s in-app purchase system, with Unity’s In-App Purchasing package inside the app. Apple is the merchant: your payment method, billing address and Apple Account are handled by Apple and are never sent to us or stored by us. The app receives only a confirmation from Apple that a purchase succeeded, and records on your device that you own the item.
RESTORE PURCHASES asks Apple what you have bought. That request goes to Apple, not to us.
If you are in the EU or the UK, a consent form appears shortly after your first run, provided by Google’s User Messaging Platform. Your answer decides whether the ads you see are personalised. You can reopen it at any time: in the game, Settings › PRIVACY OPTIONS. Declining does not stop the game or lock anything — you will simply see non-personalised ads.
If you are in a US state with an applicable privacy law, no form appears by itself. Settings › PRIVACY OPTIONS in the game opens it, with a Do Not Sell or Share choice.
Tracking is separate and belongs to iOS. Before iOS asks, the game explains why it is asking. Whatever you answer, you can change it later in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking. If tracking is off, the advertising identifier is not shared and ads are less relevant; nothing else changes.
You can also reset the advertising identifier itself in iOS Settings, which disconnects it from anything previously recorded against it.
Pizza Cutter is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. It is not published in the App Store’s Kids category. If you believe a child has provided information through the app, email us and we will look into it.
We keep nothing on servers of our own. On-device data lasts until you delete the app. Advertising data and gameplay statistics are retained by our partners under their own retention schedules, which are described in their policies linked above. Leaderboard scores are kept by Apple in Game Center.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or port personal information held about you, and to object to or opt out of its sale or sharing for targeted advertising. Because we hold no personal information and cannot identify you, the practical routes are:
You are also welcome to email us and we will help as far as we are able.
These pages are plain HTML on GitHub Pages. They set no cookies, load nothing from other sites and run no scripts or analytics. GitHub serves them, and like any web host it processes request information such as your IP address; see GitHub’s privacy statement.
If the app starts collecting something new, this page is updated before that version reaches the App Store, and the date at the top changes with it. The App Store listing’s privacy labels are kept in step.
Pizza Cutter: Cozy Slices is published by Devon Marshall, an individual developer, who is responsible for the data described above. The same name appears as the seller on the app’s App Store page.
