Spikehold is a single-player game for iPhone. It has no accounts of its own, no chat and no online profile of ours. This page explains what stays on your device and what the advertising and purchase services process.

Local play

Your campaign progress, settings, saved defenses and saved levels stay on your device. Deleting the app removes them; reinstalling may not recover them. Apple can restore your Remove Ads purchase separately.

Game Center

If you are signed in to Apple's Game Center on your device, Spikehold reports your best waves, XP, stars and the achievements you earn to Game Center, and reads the top of the XP ranking back to show it on the progress screen. Game Center is provided by Apple under Apple's privacy policy. AMS Games does not receive your Game Center name, identifier or scores on any server of ours and does not store the rankings the game shows. Game Center is optional: the game plays the same without it, and you can sign out in the iOS Settings app.

Shared challenge links

A challenge code or link contains a level layout, its name and a self-reported clear time. It is created on your device and sent only where you choose to send it, for example through the iOS share sheet. AMS Games does not receive, host or moderate it. Anyone who receives a code can read and reshare it. Do not put personal information in a level name. The web page that opens a link decodes the code in your browser and does not store it.

Advertising

Google AdMob serves optional rewarded ads (extra gold before a wave, one retry of a lost wave) and interstitial ads at the end of a round. Interstitials are never shown while you are building or during a wave. An ad may be unavailable; no reward is given for an ad you close early.

Google's advertising SDK may process IP addresses and approximate location, device identifiers including the advertising identifier when you allow it, ad interactions and diagnostic or performance information. These support advertising, measurement and fraud prevention. Read Google's partner information, Google's privacy policy and Google's SDK data disclosure.

Where required, Google's consent form appears before ads are requested, and Settings offers Privacy options when applicable. iOS may separately ask for tracking permission. Declining tracking does not block gameplay or purchases. Buying Remove Ads turns advertising off and gives the same limited bonus and retry rewards without watching anything. The App Store shows its price in your local currency.

Purchases

Apple processes purchases and payments. We do not receive your card details. The game reads purchase identifiers and entitlement information only to provide and restore Remove Ads. A cached entitlement is stored on your device. Refunds and revoked purchases can remove it.

Retention and deletion

We do not keep personal data about you on our own servers because the game does not send any. Data that stays on your device is removed when you delete the app. Advertising and purchase providers keep data under their own policies.

Children

Spikehold is not designed for children under 13. The ad SDK is configured to request ads suitable for a general audience.

International processing and changes

Advertising and purchase providers may process data outside your country under their applicable safeguards. We update this page when the game's data practices change. Contact us with privacy questions at any time.
