Picrasso is a nonogram game for iPhone and iPad: solve a puzzle and a pixel painting appears. This policy covers the app and explains which data it involves, who processes it and which rights you have. Swiss data protection law (FADP) and, where applicable, the GDPR apply.

• Picrasso has no accounts and no analytics of its own. We run no servers for the app and receive no data about your play. • Your progress stays on your device. • If you are signed in to Game Center, the app sends your daily and weekly points to Apple’s leaderboards, where other players see them with your Game Center name. • The app shows ads from Google AdMob, for which Google processes device and usage data. • In Switzerland, the EEA and the UK we ask for your consent before personalised ads. In US states with privacy laws you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your data. You can change either in the app at any time. • Google receives your device’s advertising identifier (IDFA) only if you allow tracking in Apple’s prompt.
So you can keep playing, Picrasso stores on your device: finished paintings, unfinished puzzles with their remaining brushes and hints, the painting you played last, your points today and this week with the paintings that already counted toward them, whether you have seen the tutorial, and your settings. Apart from the points for Game Center (see section 4), the app does not send this data anywhere. It may be included in your iCloud or device backups if you have them turned on; Apple’s terms apply to those.
“Settings › Remove All Progress” deletes everything Picrasso has stored on your device: finished paintings, unfinished puzzles, your points and your badges. The app then starts over at the tutorial. It also resets your Picrasso achievements in Game Center. Points already sent to a leaderboard stay with Apple until that day or week ends, because Apple offers no way to withdraw an entry. Deleting the app removes all of its local data.
Legal basis: providing the game you chose to use (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
Picrasso has leaderboards through Apple Game Center: a daily and a weekly board with the points from all modes. Game Center is an Apple service and uses the Game Center account you are signed in with on your device. We run no accounts and no servers of our own for it.
If you are signed in, the app signs your account in to Game Center when it starts and, after each finished painting, sends your current daily and weekly points to Apple. Apple links them to your Game Center profile. Other Game Center players see your name, profile picture, points and rank on the leaderboards; your Game Center settings decide what your friends see. The app loads the leaderboards, with the names, ranks and points of the top players and your own rank, to show them in the app. It also reports your achievements (such as 25 finished paintings or first place on a daily board) to Game Center, where they appear on your profile.
“Settings › Remove All Progress” resets your achievements in Game Center; points already sent stay on the board until the day or week ends. If you are not signed in, the app sends nothing to Game Center and the game works the same. You sign in or out under “Settings › Game Center” in iOS. Apple is responsible for the processing in Game Center, under Apple’s privacy policy (apple.com/legal/privacy).
Legal basis: providing the leaderboards you use by signing in to Game Center (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
Picrasso is funded by ads. While you paint, the app shows a banner ad. When you run out of brushes, you can choose to watch a video ad to get brushes back, or start the painting over instead.
The ads come from the Google Mobile Ads SDK. For users in Switzerland, the EEA and the UK the provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; elsewhere it is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google processes this data as an independent controller.
This may include in particular:
• IP address and the approximate location derived from it • Device and system details (e.g. model, iOS or iPadOS version, language, screen size) • Identifiers Google assigns for this app or device (e.g. the identifier for vendors), and the advertising identifier (IDFA), but only if you have allowed tracking • Ad interactions, such as ads shown, taps and whether a video ad was watched to the end • Diagnostic and performance data of the SDK
Google uses this data to serve and measure ads, to prevent fraud and abuse and, only with your consent, to personalise ads. More at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and policies.google.com/privacy.
In Switzerland, the EEA and the UK the app shows a consent form from Google (User Messaging Platform) the first time you open it. There you decide whether Google may store and access information on your device and personalise ads. If you decline, Google shows only non-personalised or limited ads. Your choice is stored on your device.
In US states with their own privacy laws (e.g. California) you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising under “Settings › Your Privacy Choices”.
Afterwards iOS asks whether Picrasso may track your activity across other companies’ apps and websites (App Tracking Transparency). Google receives your device’s advertising identifier only if you allow this. The game works the same either way. You can change this setting under “Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking”.
You can change or withdraw your ad choices at any time under “Settings › Your Privacy Choices”. Withdrawal applies from then on.
Legal basis: your consent for personalised ads and access to your device (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR / Art. 31 FADP); our legitimate interest in funding a free game for serving non-personalised ads and preventing fraud (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR / overriding interest under the Swiss FADP).
Picrasso is distributed through Apple’s App Store. Apple’s privacy terms apply to downloads, updates and your Apple Account. We receive crash reports and usage data from Apple only in aggregated form, and only if you allow sharing with app developers in your iOS settings.
If you take part in a TestFlight beta, Apple shares the details from your invitation (e.g. name and email address), the feedback and screenshots you send, and crash and device information with us. We use them only to improve the app and delete them once they are no longer needed for that.
Google and Apple (including for Game Center) may also process data in the USA and other countries outside Switzerland and the EEA. Transfers rely on the EU-US and Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework where the providers are certified, and on standard contractual clauses.
Picrasso is made for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us at the address below.
Progress and settings stay on your device until you reset them in the app or delete the app. Your ad choices are kept until you change them or delete the app; iOS manages the tracking permission. The leaderboards start over every day or week. How long Apple keeps earlier boards and your Game Center data, and how long Google and Apple keep other data, is set out in their privacy policies.
Depending on applicable law you have the right to:
• Access your stored data • Rectify inaccurate data • Erase your data • Restrict processing • Object to processing • Withdraw consent (without affecting lawfulness before withdrawal) • Data portability where applicable
We receive no game data about you, so you can delete your progress directly in the app. For data Google processes, see your settings at myadcenter.google.com; for Game Center, see iOS Settings and privacy.apple.com. For anything else, contact team@dibe.agency. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in Switzerland: the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, FDPIC).
We update this policy when the app gains new features, services or permissions, or when the law changes. The current version is always available at /en/privacy/apps/picrasso/. Last updated: September 2026.
