Emoji Drop (also published as "Emoji World") is a mobile arcade of bundled HTML mini-games. It does not require sign-in, account creation, or personal profile information, and the games remain fully playable offline. To understand how the games are used and to improve them, the app includes anonymous, privacy-respecting analytics and session analytics. From version 2.42.0 the app also shows advertising. Both are described below.
Emoji Drop saves gameplay-only information on your device, such as high scores, best results, sound and music settings, and local game progress. This information is stored locally using app preferences or WebView local storage.
To understand how players use the app and to fix problems, Emoji Drop uses PostHog for product analytics and session replay, and Google Analytics for Firebase for gameplay analytics. The same events are sent to both. Through these services the app may collect:
This analytics data is used to measure usage and improve the app, and it is not sold. PostHog processes it on our behalf on their United States infrastructure; see posthog.com/privacy. Firebase processes it under Firebase's data processing terms.
From version 2.42.0, Emoji Drop shows ads supplied by Google AdMob. Earlier versions of the app contain no advertising SDK and show no ads. To serve and measure those ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK collects and shares with Google:
Google uses this for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention. See how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. You can limit ad personalisation in your Android settings under Privacy → Ads. The analytics described in the previous section are separate from advertising: PostHog data is not used to show you ads.
Emoji Drop may send occasional local reminder notifications — for example, to try a game you have not played yet. These reminders are created on your device and do not collect any data or require an internet connection. On Android 13 and later the app asks for notification permission, and you can turn notifications off at any time in your device settings.
Emoji Drop does not ask for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, camera, microphone, precise location, payment information, or login credentials. The analytics described above are anonymous and are not tied to your real-world identity.
Emoji Drop requests the following:
The app has no login system. If you tap the privacy icon, Android may open this public web page in your browser.
Gameplay progress, high scores and settings live only on your device; uninstalling the app deletes them. Analytics, session-replay and advertising data are retained by PostHog and Google under their own retention schedules.
Because the app has no sign-in, the data it sends is not tied to your identity and we have no way to look up an individual player's records, so we cannot action a per-person deletion request. You can, however, reset or delete your advertising identifier in your Android settings. If you have a question about your data, contact puzzlethrone@gmail.com.
Emoji Drop is a general-audience game and is not directed specifically to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have received personal information from a child, contact us and we will review the request.
