Carpet Hero — Privacy Policy

Last updated 29 July 2026 · Carpet Hero

Carpet Hero is made by Farting Pixel. There is no account, no login, and no way to sign in. The short version: the game keeps your save on your phone, sends anonymous gameplay counters so we can see where people get stuck, and never sends anything from your camera anywhere.

What stays on your device

Your entire save — money, upgrades, stars, achievements, which paintings you have cleaned — is stored only on your device. It is not uploaded, backed up to us, or synced. Deleting the app deletes it.

The camera never sends anything

Carpet Hero has an optional feature called LET THEM SEE YOU. Turn it on and the front camera is used to work out roughly where your eyes are, so the little robots can look up at you once a rug is finished.

This runs entirely on your phone, using Apple's on-device face tracking. No image, no video and no face data is recorded, stored, or transmitted anywhere — not to us, not to anyone else. Nobody is identified. The camera only runs while the game is open and the rug is already clean, and the feature is off until you switch it on. You can switch it off again at any time in Options.

What the game sends us

To understand how the game is actually played — which is the only way a one-person studio can improve it — the app sends small anonymous events to events.fartingpixel.com.

WhatExampleWhy
A random id generated on your devicek3f9x2m8...So two events from the same phone can be counted as one player. It is not your Apple ID, your device id, or anything that identifies you.
An event namejob_done, prestigeTo see which parts of the game people reach
Up to three small valuesrug size, upgrade name, carpets cleanedTo see where people get stuck or stop playing
App version and language1.0.0, en_GBTo tell builds apart
IP address and browser-style user agentRecorded automatically by the server that receives the request, as with any web request

That is the complete list. We do not collect your name, email, address, contacts, photos, location, or health data, because the app never asks for any of them.

What we do not do

Purchases

Carpet Hero sells four one-off extras. Every purchase is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store — we never see your card details, your name, or your Apple ID. The app is told only that a purchase succeeded, and it records the fact locally so the perk keeps working. There are no subscriptions and nothing renews.

The anonymous event list above includes the fact that a purchase happened and which item it was, so we can tell whether the shop is working. It contains no payment information of any kind, because the app never receives any.

Children

Carpet Hero is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. There is nothing in the app that asks for personal information.

How long we keep things

Anonymous event rows are kept while they are useful for improving the game and are not tied to an identifiable person. Since there is no account, there is no profile to delete — but if you would like the events from your device removed, email the address below and we will remove them.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it.
