Terms of use

Twiddle Play (Android package com.twiddlelabs.play) is a game store run by TwiddleLabs. You browse games, install the ones you like, and play them full screen. An installed game lives on your phone and works offline, in a sandbox that can't read your other data.

The app and its games are free: there are no purchases. There are no accounts either: the app identifies itself to our server only with a random device ID. What it sends and why is in the privacy policy.

Every game is made by an independent developer (a “builder”) who publishes it through our builder portal. Builders own their games and are responsible for what is in them.

Before a game is listed, and again before every update, a person on our team plays it and checks it against the rules below. Review catches most problems, but not everything, which is why anyone can report a game. We can remove any game at any time.

Objectionable content is not allowed on Twiddle Play. A game, and its name, icon, screenshots and description, must not contain or promote:

• Sexual content or nudity.
• Hate: content that attacks or demeans people for their race, ethnicity, religion, disability, age, nationality, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or similar.
• Harassment, bullying or threats against anyone.
• Glorified or gratuitous violence, or anything that encourages real harm, terrorism or self-harm.
• Illegal activity, such as drugs, weapons, real-money gambling, or anything else that breaks the law.
• Malware, scams or tricks: phishing, collecting players' personal data, or links and code that do something the player didn't expect.
• Misleading ads: fake buttons, ads dressed up as game content, or ads placed so players tap them by accident. Games may show only the app's own ads.
• Someone else's work without permission: copyrighted games, characters, art, music or trademarks.
• Anything unsuitable for the game's declared age rating (All ages, 12+ or 16+).

Builders agree to these rules when they publish a game. A game that breaks them is suspended: it leaves the store, and the app removes it from phones at its next update check. Builders who break them seriously or repeatedly are banned, which suspends all of their games.

If a game breaks these rules, doesn't work, or seems wrong in any way, tell us:

1. Tap Report on the game's page in the store, or in the menu that opens when you leave a game.
2. Pick a reason: Inappropriate content, Broken / doesn't work, Copyright, Scam or misleading ads, or Other.
3. Add a note if you like (up to 1,000 characters), and send it.

Our team reviews every report, and aims to do so within 48 hours. If the game breaks the rules we suspend it, and we may ban its builder. If it doesn't, the report is closed and the game stays. Reporting the same game again while your report is still open replaces your earlier report.

You stay anonymous. Builders never see reports: not who sent them, and not what you wrote. A report is linked only to the app's random device ID, never to your name (there are no accounts). What a report sends us and how long we keep it is in the privacy policy.

For anything urgent, or content you believe is illegal, you can also email noreply@twiddlelabs.com with the game's name.

Each builder chooses whether their game shows ads. Ads are served by Google AdMob, inside the app only, and the builder earns a share of their game's ad revenue. Games can't show ads of their own. The ads themselves come from Google's advertisers; we don't pick individual ads.

In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the app asks for your consent to personalised ads; you can change it any time in Settings › Privacy options. See the privacy policy.

• Don't modify the app or its games to fake installs, play time, ad views or clicks. Ad activity from modified or emulated copies doesn't count, and it can get a game suspended.
• Don't use reports to harass a builder or flood us with false ones. We may ignore reports that are clearly abusive.
• Don't try to break into our servers or other people's games.

Twiddle Play and its games are free, and provided “as is” and “as available”. We don't promise that every game works on every phone, is free of bugs, or stays available. Games are their builders' work, and their saved progress lives only on your phone: uninstalling a game or the app deletes it.

As far as the law allows, TwiddleLabs isn't liable for losses that come from games or from using the app. Nothing here takes away rights you have under the consumer laws of your country that can't be taken away.

If these terms change, we update this page and the date at the top, and note important changes in the app's release notes on Google Play. Using the app after a change means you accept the new terms. You can stop at any time by uninstalling it.

Questions, complaints or anything about these terms: noreply@twiddlelabs.com. For your data, see the privacy policy.
