Remember when phones were toys?
An arcade game about throwing ping pong balls at things. That's it. That's the game.
Pins on your floor
Point your camera down and the game sets up bowling pins on your actual floor, using augmented reality.
Tilt the booth
Tip your phone and the light on the booth shifts with it, the way apps used to show off the accelerometer in 2009.
Beat yourself
Your personal bests stay on your phone. Nobody else needs to know.

Ping Pong Cowboy Privacy Policy
Effective October 4, 2026
Ping Pong Cowboy collects no data. Nothing leaves your phone.
What we collect
Nothing. Ping Pong Cowboy has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. It doesn't connect to the internet, and we never see, store or share any information about you or how you use the app.
Camera
The game uses your camera to place bowling pins on your floor in augmented reality. The camera feed and the map of your room that ARKit builds are processed live on your iPhone and are thrown away when you leave the game. No photos or video are saved, and nothing is sent anywhere.
Motion sensors
The app reads your iPhone's motion sensors so the light on the booth shifts as you tilt your phone. This happens on your iPhone and isn't stored or shared.
Saved on your iPhone
Your personal best scores and a few game settings, such as whether you've seen the first-time tips, are saved on your iPhone so they're there next time you play. They never leave your device, and deleting the app deletes them.
Children
Ping Pong Cowboy is suitable for all ages. Because it collects no data, it collects no data from children either.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date.
