Morrow privacy policy
This page explains what Morrow keeps about you, who can see it, and how to have it removed. We've kept it short and plain on purpose.
The short version
- The game has no sign-up. It never asks for your name, email, photos, contacts or location, and it has no chat.
- We keep your progress and purchases so they can follow you to a new iPhone or iPad.
- We never sell your information.
- The free game shows an ad only if you ask for one. The full game has none.
- You can delete everything from the game's Settings.
Checking the installed copy
Apple gives each installed copy a signed store record. We check that record and a device verification code with our server to tell public-store installations apart from test copies and keep test accounts out of customer reports. This check is separate from optional usage statistics and does not track what you do in the app.
We keep the result, when it was checked, and scrambled references linked to your account. The device reference is different for each app. We do not keep the original store record or device code, send them to advertising or usage-statistics services, or use them across other companies' apps. These records are removed when you delete your account.
Who we are
Morrow: Hold Till Dawn is made by Pebblecraft, a small studio. When this page says "we", it means Pebblecraft.

What we keep
Morrow has no sign-up. The first time you open it, it makes a game account for you. It has no name, no email and no password: it's a random ID, so your progress and purchases can be kept safe.
We keep these things on our servers:
- Your game account ID.
- Your progress: the hills you've reached, your Plinkles and their powers, your best scores and dewdrops, so it can come back on a new phone. Each copy notes when it was saved and which phone saved it, using a random ID the game makes for that phone when it is installed (it isn't your Apple account and isn't used for ads), so two phones never overwrite each other's progress.
- Your phone's language, your App Store country and when you last played, plus a short reference code that helps us find your game account when you write to us.
- What you've bought, so it comes back on a new phone.
- Your choice about usage statistics (the "Help improve Morrow" switch), so it follows you.
- A link to your Game Center account, if you're signed in to Game Center (more below).
We don't ask for your name, email, photos, contacts or location, and the game has no chat.
What stays on your phone
Your sound, music and vibration settings stay on your phone. Morrow also keeps a copy of your progress on your phone, so it plays without internet.
Game Center
If you're signed in to Game Center, Apple gives Morrow a signed proof of who you are. Our server checks it and links your Game Center player to your game account, so your progress comes back if you reinstall.
That link is kept only on our servers. It's never shown in the game, never sent to our usage statistics or crash reports, and never shared with anyone.
Scores you post to leaderboards and the achievements you earn are kept by Apple, under Apple's own privacy rules. Other players may see your Game Center name and scores, depending on your Game Center settings.
Challenge links
When you share a run, the link carries the run's hills (a number called a seed), the Plinkle and powers you used, the rules you played by, and your score. It never carries your name, your game account ID or anything about your phone. Anyone who has the link can see what's in it.
Purchases
Everything you buy in Morrow goes through Apple's App Store and is billed to your Apple account. We never see your card or payment details.
We use a service called RevenueCat to process purchase records for us. It holds your purchase history and your game account ID. This is how your purchases come back on a new phone.
Family Sharing is not offered.
Usage statistics and crash reports
If your App Store country is in the EU or EEA, the UK, Switzerland or Brazil, or the game can't tell which country it is, usage statistics stay off until you say yes. Everywhere else they are on from the start, and you can switch them off at any time with "Help improve Morrow" in the game's Settings.
When usage statistics are on, we use PostHog, with servers in the EU, to see how the game is played: for example which Plinkles and modes are played, where people get stuck, and when someone buys the full game. Each event carries your game account ID (or, before the game has first gone online, a random ID for this install), the game's name and version, your App Store country, your phone's system and what happened in the game. It never includes your Game Center details, a name or an email.
If the game crashes or hits a problem, a report goes to Sentry, with servers in the EU. It carries your game account ID, the game's version, your phone model and iOS version, and what the game was doing (such as the mode, level or Plinkle). Crash reports are not usage statistics and stay on, because they are how we fix the game.
Ads
There are no ads in Morrow today, and nothing about you is sent to any ad company.
Morrow may later offer one optional ad: a chance to watch a short ad to keep a run going when the Hush catches you, once a run and three times a day, never in the daily run, and never once you own the full game. You'd only ever see it if you chose to. Before that ad appears, we'll update this page to name the company that shows it and say exactly what it receives.
No tracking
We don't follow you across other companies' apps or websites, we don't sell or rent your data, and we never ask to track you.
Where your data is stored
We host your game account and progress with Supabase, on servers in the United States (us-east-1). So if you live in the EU or the UK, your data is sent to the United States.
For people in the EU and UK, the companies that handle your data for us are bound by standard contractual clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. These are the legal safeguards for sending data across borders.
How long we keep it
Your data stays for as long as your game account exists. Besides your current progress, we keep your ten most recent earlier saves, and up to fifty copies put aside when two phones disagreed, so we can bring back progress if something goes wrong. We keep no backups beyond our host's standard rolling backups.
Deleting the game from your phone removes what's on your phone, but not the copy we keep for you, so you can still get it back.
Deleting your data
To delete everything we hold about you, tap Delete my data in the game's Settings (it needs a connection), or write to privacy@playmorrow.app and we'll help you find your game account. Either way we delete:
- your game account, your progress and every earlier copy of it
- your Game Center link
- your purchase link in RevenueCat
- your usage statistics and crash reports
We finish within 30 days and tell you when it's done. Your purchases stay with your Apple account, so Restore purchases still brings them back afterwards.
Children
Morrow is rated 4+, which means it has nothing unsuitable for young players. It's still made for a general audience, not for children, and isn't in the App Store's Kids category.
The game never asks for a name, email, photos or contact details, and has no chat or way to talk to other players. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you're a parent and think your child's data reached us, write to privacy@playmorrow.app and we'll delete it.
Your rights
You can ask us to show you what we hold about you, give you a copy, correct it, delete it, or stop using it in a way you object to. You can also ask for your data in a form you can take elsewhere. Write to privacy@playmorrow.app. We answer within 30 days.

This website
This website sets no cookies and runs no analytics. A challenge link opens the game if you have it, or shows the run and how to get the game if you don't.
When you tap a link to the App Store from this website or from one of our posts, we count the tap, with the kind of device and the country, and nothing that identifies you.
If a page on this website breaks, an error report goes to Sentry, with servers in the EU. It carries what went wrong, the page address, and your browser and device type. It isn't used to follow you around the web.
Telling you when it's out
If you ask this website or pebblecraft.app to tell you when Morrow is out, we keep the email address you type, that it was for Morrow, and when you asked. It is kept with Supabase, on servers in the United States (us-east-1).
We use it for one email, sent through Google's email service, Gmail, when Morrow can be downloaded. Then we delete the address. We never share it, sell it or add it to anything else. The email has a link to take you off the list, and you can write to support@playmorrow.app to have the address removed sooner.
Changes
When we change this page, we post the new version with a new date. If a change is big, we tell you in the game.
