We collect information in a few different ways to provide and improve our Game.

3.1. Information Collected Automatically

• Game Progress Data: We automatically save your game progress locally on your device. This includes information such as which puzzles you have completed, your tutorial completion status, and the date you last completed a daily puzzle. This data is not personal and is used solely to allow you to continue your game where you left off.
• Game Settings: We store your in-game preferences locally on your device. This includes settings like sound effects, music, haptic feedback preferences, and your chosen language.
• Advertising Data: Our Game is supported by third-party advertising services, primarily Google AdMob. These services may collect and use information about you to provide personalized ads. This data may include:
  • Device identifiers (e.g., Android Advertising ID, Apple's IDFA)
  • IP address (for general location)
  • Device information (e.g., operating system, device type)
  • Information about your interactions with ads shown in our Game.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To save your game progress and personal settings to enhance your experience.
• To provide and maintain the Game's functionality.
• To display advertisements that help us fund the development of the Game.

5. Sharing Your Information

We do not share your personal information except in the limited circumstances described here.

• Third-Party Advertising Partners: We share information with our advertising partners, such as Google AdMob, to serve ads in our Game. We encourage you to review their privacy policies to understand how they collect and use your data. You can find Google's policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Our Game may also use other ad libraries to facilitate the display of advertisements.
• Sharing Feature: The Game includes a feature that allows you to share your game achievements (e.g., a screenshot of a completed puzzle) with other applications on your device (like social media or messaging apps). When you use this feature, the privacy policy of the application you are sharing to will govern the handling of that data.

6. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

You have choices regarding the information you provide and how it's used.
