River Draw

Privacy

Last updated October 29, 2026

In short. River Draw has no sign-up and never asks for your name, email or location. Your progress stays on your device and in your own iCloud. The free game shows ads from Google AdMob, and Google may use your device's advertising identifier and a rough location worked out from your IP address to choose and count those ads. Buying No Ads turns off the ads between valleys.

What the game keeps

Your progress: stars, coins, hints, your daily streak, water skins, trails and River Pass tiers. It is saved on the device and copied to your personal iCloud through Apple's key-value storage, which the developer has no way to read.
Your settings (sound, haptics) are saved on the device only.

Game Center

When you're signed in to Game Center, River Draw posts your daily valley score, your star total and your endless-valley count to Apple's leaderboards, where other players see them next to your Game Center nickname. Apple handles this under its own privacy policy.

Ads from Google AdMob

In the free game, a short ad can appear between valleys: never before your tenth finished valley and no more than once every three minutes. You can also choose to watch a video for a reward. Google AdMob supplies these ads and, to show, cap and measure them, may collect your advertising identifier, IP address (for an approximate location), details about your device and the app, crash and performance data, and how you interact with ads. See Google's privacy policy and how Google uses data from partner apps.

In places that require it, such as the EEA, the UK and some US states, River Draw shows Google's consent form before any ad, and you can revisit your answer under Settings → Ad privacy choices. iOS also lets you limit ad tracking in the system Settings app.

River Draw doesn't show the App Tracking Transparency prompt and doesn't follow you across other companies' apps or websites.

Reminders

If you allow notifications, the game schedules reminders on the device itself, for a new daily valley or a streak about to lapse. No server is involved.

Purchases

Apple processes every in-app purchase. River Draw never sees your payment details; it only learns which items you own so it can unlock them.

Children

River Draw isn't aimed at children under 13, and the developer doesn't knowingly collect personal information from them.

Removing your data

Deleting the app deletes the save on that device. To clear the iCloud copy too, switch off iCloud for River Draw in iOS Settings or remove it under Settings → your name → iCloud → Manage Storage. Google's ad controls are at myadcenter.google.com.
