Juicy Jar · Last updated 16 August 2026
Juicy Jar has no account of you. There is no sign-up, no profile and no analytics of ours. Two parts of the game do reach the internet — the Game Center leaderboard and the rewarded ads that recharge items — and both are optional. Because of those ads the app now asks you once, through iOS, for permission to track you. You can say no, and the game plays exactly the same either way. Everything else stays on your phone.
Juicy Jar stores a small amount of information locally so the game works the way you expect:
This lives in the app's own private storage. It is not readable by other apps, it is never sent to us, and it is deleted when you delete Juicy Jar.
If you are signed in to Game Center, your score is submitted to the Juicy Jar leaderboard at the end of a run, and you can open the leaderboard from the game-over screen. That is a service of Apple's, not ours: we receive nothing, we have no server, and we cannot see who you are. It is governed by Apple's privacy policy.
Signing out of Game Center on your device stops it. The rest of the game is unaffected.
Juicy Jar shows no banners and no interstitials. An ad appears only at a moment you choose it: when you tap to watch one in exchange for an undo, a bomb, or one more life after the jar overflows. Ignore those buttons and you will never see an ad.
Ads are served by Google AdMob. When you watch one, Google receives data from your device in order to deliver and measure it — including a device identifier, your approximate location derived from your IP address, and information about the ad you were shown. This is described in Google's privacy policy and in how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
How much Google may do with that data is decided by you, in the permission question below.
Juicy Jar asks you once, using Apple's own App Tracking Transparency prompt, whether it may track you across other companies' apps and websites. The dialog is the system's; all we do is ask. Both answers are real answers:
Not answering counts as not allowing. If you swipe the prompt away, or never see it because you have turned off tracking requests for every app, Juicy Jar behaves for you exactly as it does for someone who declined.
The game itself is identical either way. Nothing is locked, delayed, worsened or held back behind your answer. The same items, the same free charges each run, the same ads offered at the same moments, the same leaderboard. Saying no costs you nothing in the game.
You can change your answer at any time, without reinstalling: open Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking and switch Juicy Jar off or on. The switch takes effect from the next ad. The same screen has Allow Apps to Request to Track, which refuses the question for every app at once.
Being honest about the limit of declining: even a non-personalised ad uses an identifier from your device for frequency capping — so you are not shown the same ad repeatedly — and for aggregate reporting. That is not the IDFA and it is not used to build a profile of you, but it is not nothing, and it is why the consent step below exists.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, Juicy Jar also shows you a consent form before any ad is requested, and asks whether you agree to that use of your device. This is Google's form, asked under European law, and it is a separate question from Apple's tracking prompt — you may be asked both.
Where that form applies, the app carries a privacy options button that reopens it, so the answer you gave is never final. You can change it whenever you like.
If you decline, or dismiss the form, no ads are requested at all. Every run still starts with its free charge of undo and of bomb, and those buttons work as they always have; once a charge is spent the button simply goes away instead of offering you an ad.
Juicy Jar is a general-audience game and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If a child plays on your device, decline the tracking prompt — or turn off Allow Apps to Request to Track in Settings, which refuses it for every app without anyone having to remember. Ads stay non-personalised for anyone who has not allowed tracking.
This policy is updated before any version that changes what the app does is released, and the change is described in that version's release notes.
Two earlier versions of this page said less than this one has to. The version accurate up to 1.1 said the app had no network code at all; the Game Center leaderboard and the rewarded ads are why it no longer does. The version after that said Juicy Jar would never show a tracking prompt and never read the advertising identifier. The release that adds the App Tracking Transparency prompt is the reason that is no longer true — and why declining it had to be made a real option that costs you nothing.
