Whistle Buddy is developed and operated by TurnerSix Studios, a family-run independent app studio. You can reach us at privacy@turnersixstudios.com.
We collect the minimum information necessary to provide the app's features:
We do not collect your location, contacts, microphone, camera, or any other device data beyond what is listed above.
We do not use your information for any other purpose, and we do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Whistle Buddy shows ads powered by Google AdMob. AdMob may use device identifiers and usage data to show you relevant ads. On iOS 14.5 and later, we ask for your permission before allowing AdMob to track your activity across other apps and websites.
You can remove all ads with a one-time in-app purchase. If you choose to remove ads, no ad-related data is collected or processed.

Your game data is stored securely using Google Firebase Firestore, protected by industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest. Access is restricted strictly to your account — no other user can see your data.
We retain your data as long as your account is active. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time by contacting us at privacy@turnersixstudios.com.
