Sudoku Endless Puzzle Privacy Policy

This policy covers Sudoku Endless Puzzle (the "Game"), an iOS and Android game published by Tom Manger (Ploxie Games). It explains what the Game collects, what it does not, and who else is involved.

1. We do not ask you for personal information

The Game has no accounts, no sign-in, no registration and no contact forms. We never ask for your name, email address, phone number, date of birth or payment details, and we do not collect them.

2. Your progress stays on your device

Your current run and your profile — best score, bands cleared, level and best combo — are saved in the operating system's standard app storage on your own device. They are not uploaded to us, they are not shared with anyone, and they are deleted when you delete the Game.

3. The puzzle itself is offline

Every board is generated on your device. The Game makes no network request of its own: it needs the internet only to request advertising, and it is fully playable with no connection at all.

4. Advertising

The Game shows advertising in six places, and only in these six:

• an optional rewarded video when a run ends, in exchange for winning back one mistake and continuing that run;
• an optional rewarded video when you are out of hints, in exchange for one hint;
• an optional rewarded video when the band timer runs out, in exchange for sixty more seconds;
• an optional rewarded video when a lifebuoy drifts across the screen and you tap it, in exchange for one more continue;
• an occasional advertisement between runs, never during play;
• a small banner strip along the bottom edge of the screen while you play. The board is laid out above it, so the banner never covers the puzzle.

The rewarded videos are always your choice — declining costs you nothing but the reward. A full-screen advertisement never interrupts a band you are solving.

Those advertisements are delivered by Unity LevelPlay(ironSource / Unity Technologies) and the ad networks it mediates, including Unity Ads and Google AdMob. To serve and measure an advertisement, and to detect ad fraud, these providers may process:

• a device advertising or vendor identifier
• technical device information (model, operating-system version, language, screen size)
• your IP address, from which an approximate country or region can be derived
• advertising interaction data — that an ad was requested, shown, completed or closed

The Game is configured to request non-personalized advertising only. It sends the mediation SDK a "do not sell my personal information" signal, which the mediation SDK passes on to the networks it mediates, and it does not record consent to personalized advertising. On iOS the Game does not present the App Tracking Transparency prompt. On neither platform does it track you across other companies' apps or websites.

Unity's handling of this data is governed by its own privacy policy, available at unity.com/legal/game-player-and-app-user-privacy-policy. Google's handling of this data is governed by its own policy, available at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

5. What we do not do

• We do not build a profile of you.
• We do not sell, rent or trade any information about you.
• We run no analytics of our own.
• We do not use your data to track you across other apps or websites.

6. Children

The Game is suitable for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because the Game requests non-personalized advertising only, no interest-based advertising profile is built from anyone's play, regardless of age.

7. Your choices

On iOS you can limit ad tracking system-wide under Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking, and reset your advertising identifier under Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising.

On Android you can reset or delete your advertising identifier, and opt out of advertising personalisation, under Settings → Google → All services → Ads. Deleting the identifier stops apps from receiving it at all.

On either platform, deleting the Game removes all locally stored progress.

8. Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date.
