Privacy Policy — Squishy World

Last updated: 23 September 2026

Squishy World is a game for children made by ZKStudio.

We wrote this policy to be short and plain, because the honest answer is simple: Squishy World does not collect any personal information from anyone, child or adult.

The short version

Do you collect personal information?No
Do you collect information from children?No
Do you share or sell data?No
Do you show ads?No
Do you use analytics or tracking?No
Do you use the advertising ID?No
Does the game need an account or sign-in?No
Does the game work offline?Yes, completely
Can the app connect to the internet at all?No

What the game stores, and where

Squishy World saves your progress — your squishies, coins, gems, levels, collection, settings and the nickname you choose — only on your own device.

That save file never leaves your phone or tablet. We cannot see it, we do not receive a copy of it, and there is no server for it to go to. We have deliberately turned off Android's automatic cloud backup for this app, so the save is not copied to Google Drive either.

If you uninstall the game, that saved progress is deleted with it.

The nickname

The game asks for a nickname and offers to make one up for you. You can type your own instead. We would gently suggest a fun made-up name rather than a real name — but either way, the nickname stays on the device. It is only used to say hello on the screen.

Money

Squishy World is completely free. There is nothing to buy inside it.

There are no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no premium currency for sale and no paywalls. Coins and gems are earned by playing the game, and that is the only way to get them. A child cannot spend money in this app, because the app has no way of taking any.

Advertising

There are no ads in Squishy World. No banners, no video ads, no "watch this to continue", no sponsored content, and no advertising SDK of any kind is included in the app.

Permissions the app uses

The app requests exactly one permission:

That is the entire list. In particular the app does not have internet permission at all, so it is not merely that we choose not to send anything — the app is incapable of connecting to the internet. It also does not request the camera, the microphone, your location, your contacts, your photos, or the advertising ID.

Children's privacy

Squishy World is intended for children aged 6 and over and is designed to comply with the United States Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation as it applies to children, and Google Play's Families Policy.

Because the app collects no personal information at all, there is nothing for a parent to request, review or delete from us. Everything the game knows lives on your own device, and uninstalling the app removes it.

If you believe your child has somehow provided us personal information, please contact us at the address below and we will help — though in practice there is no route by which that could reach us.

Third-party services

There are none. The app contains no advertising networks, no analytics services, no crash reporting services, no payment services and no social network integrations. Nothing in Squishy World talks to anybody.

The one exception is outside the app itself: Google Play reports anonymous, aggregated crash and performance statistics to us through the Play Console. We cannot identify anyone from it, and we receive it whether or not we want it — it is part of distributing any app on Android.

Changes to this policy

If this ever changes — for example if we add a feature that genuinely needs to send something — we will update this page and change the date at the top, and we will say so clearly in the app before the feature is used.
