Little Folds Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 November 2026 (shared wishlist and hearts). Covers the Little Folds app on iPhone, iPad and Android.

Little Folds is a paper-folding puzzle game by Playpen Studios. It has no accounts, no ads, no purchases and no chat, and it never asks for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos or location. Your progress, stars and settings are stored only on your device. The only things the game sends anywhere are the anonymous usage events and crash reports described below.

What is collected

Gameplay analytics (Google Firebase Analytics). Anonymous events about how the game is played, such as when a sheet is started and finished, the sheet number, how many folds and undos it took, and the fewest folds possible. Firebase also records standard app information: sessions and screens, app version, device model, operating system and language, and a rough location (country or region) worked out from your IP address, which is not stored. Each event carries a random identifier for this install of the app, not your identity. Little Folds does not read your device's advertising ID on Android or iPhone.

Crash reports (Google Firebase Crashlytics). If the game crashes or hits an error, a report is sent so we can fix it. It holds the error and where in the code it happened, your device model, operating system and app version, a random identifier for this install so we can count how many people a crash affects, and the game's recent analytics events (the same anonymous events described above).

Feedback and bug reports you write (Google Cloud Firestore). Settings has a form for each. When you tap Send, we receive what you wrote, whether it is feedback or a bug, and the details shown under the box before you send: the app version, your device model and operating system, the journey sheet you are on, the colour theme, whether you are on iPhone or Android, and the time. No name, account, email address or identifier for your device is attached, so we can't reply to it; to hear back, email us. We use these notes only to improve the game and fix problems, and delete them after at most two years.

Wishes you write (Google Cloud Firestore). The game's wishlist lets you write what you would love to see in it. When you tap Send, we receive the text you wrote, the app version, whether you are on iPhone or Android, and the time. Nothing else is attached: no name, account, email address or identifier for your device. We read every wish, and the ones we approve are shown, without any name, to everyone who plays, so please leave personal details out of what you write. The wishes you have sent are also kept on your device so you can see them in the wishlist.

Hearts on shared wishes (Google Firebase Authentication). The first time you give a wish a heart, the game signs in silently with a random anonymous id, so each phone can give a wish only one heart. The id is not linked to your name, email or anything else about you, and is used only to count hearts.

We use this data only to understand how the game is played and to fix problems. We don't sell it, and we don't use it to build a profile of you or to track you across other companies' apps and websites.

What is not collected

No name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, precise location, health data or payment details. There is nothing to sign in to. You can play the whole game offline; analytics, crash reports, wishes and notes are sent the next time you are online.

Children

Little Folds is a general-audience game rated for all ages. It is not designed for or directed at children specifically, and it does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. It has no accounts, chat, ads, purchases or ways to share personal information with other people. If you are a parent and have a question about what the game sends, email us and we will help.

Keeping your data

Your progress lives on your device, so deleting the app deletes it. The analytics and crash data described above is not linked to you, so we cannot look it up by your name or email. Google keeps analytics events and crash reports for a limited time and then deletes them automatically. We keep wishes and their hearts while they help us decide what to build, and delete them after at most two years. If you want us to delete data from your install, email us and we will do what we can.

Third parties

The analytics, crash reports, wishes, hearts and notes are processed by Google, which hosts them on its servers, mostly in the United States, and encrypts them in transit. See Google's privacy policy and Firebase's privacy information.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll post the new version on this page with a new date.
