Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 10, 2026

Just Barely ("we", "our", "us") is a puzzle game for iPhone and iPad. This policy explains what data is processed when you play Just Barely and when you use this website, by whom, and the choices you have.

1. Your progress stays on your device

Your progress in Just Barely – levels cleared, stars, BARELY results and your settings – is stored only on your device. It is included in your device's own backups, as other app data is.

Just Barely has no user accounts, never asks for your name or email address, and we do not run servers of our own. We cannot see your progress.

2. Advertising (Google AdMob)

The free version of Just Barely shows a small banner ad from Google AdMob in the menu. No ads are shown while you play.

To serve and measure ads, Google may process information such as your IP address, device and app information, coarse location and ad interactions. Just Barely never asks for permission to track you across apps (App Tracking Transparency), so your device's advertising identifier is not available to Google or to us.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, Just Barely asks for your consent through Google's consent tool (User Messaging Platform) before personalized ads are shown. You can change your choice at any time under Settings → Privacy → Privacy Choices.

If you live in a US state with a consumer privacy law, such as California, you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for ads under Settings → Privacy → Privacy Choices.

Buying Remove Ads turns the banner off for good.

More information: How Google uses information from apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.

3. Purchases (Apple and RevenueCat)

The one-time Remove Ads purchase is processed by Apple through the App Store. We never receive your payment details.

We use RevenueCat to verify purchases and to restore them on your devices. RevenueCat receives the purchase transaction from Apple together with a random, anonymous app user ID created by the app. It does not receive your name or contact details. If you downloaded Just Barely from an Apple Search Ads campaign, Apple's AdServices framework provides a privacy-preserving attribution token that is shared with RevenueCat so we can see which search terms lead to downloads and purchases; this does not identify you. See the RevenueCat Privacy Policy.

4. Anonymous usage statistics (TelemetryDeck)

To understand how Just Barely is played and to make it better, the app sends anonymous gameplay events to TelemetryDeck, for example that a level was started, won or lost (and how), how many stars and BARELYs it gave, when a setting was changed, and when the Remove Ads offer was shown or bought. These events contain no personal data: never your name, contacts or anything you type. TelemetryDeck uses a hashed, anonymous identifier and does not track you across apps. See the TelemetryDeck Privacy Policy.

You can turn this off at any time under Settings → Privacy → Share anonymous statistics. When it is off, the statistics service is not started and nothing is sent.

5. What Just Barely does not use

Just Barely does not use Game Center, does not send notifications, and does not access your location, camera, microphone, contacts or photos.

6. This website and the support form

This website does not use analytics or advertising cookies. It sets one cookie that remembers the language you choose.

When you send a message through the support form, your name, email address, message and the page language are sent by email to us using the email service Lettermint. We use them only to answer you, and we delete the email when it is no longer needed. You can also email us directly instead.

7. Children

Just Barely is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, for example through the support form, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Your choices and rights

  • Turn off anonymous statistics under Settings → Privacy → Share anonymous statistics.
  • Change your advertising consent or opt out under Settings → Privacy → Privacy Choices (where available).
  • Remove the ads with the Remove Ads purchase.
  • Delete all Just Barely data by deleting the app from your device.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data held by us or by the services above. Contact us and we will help.
