This policy explains how MindSnap Studios ("we", "us") handles information in PuzzleForge: Jigsaw Puzzles ("the Game"). For general practices, see our general Privacy Policy.
1. Information we collect
- On-device data: your settings, selected theme, progress, statistics, and purchase status are stored locally on your device.
- Advertising identifiers: when ads are served, the Google Advertising ID and related signals are processed by our advertising partner (Google AdMob).
- Diagnostics & device data: device model, OS version, app version, and crash/diagnostic information (via Google Play Services / Firebase) to keep the Game stable.
2. How we use information
- To operate the Game and remember your local progress and preferences.
- To display and measure advertising, including frequency capping and fraud prevention.
- To diagnose crashes and improve performance.
We do not sell your personal information.
3. Advertising & consent
The Game shows interstitial and rewarded ads through Google AdMob. In the EEA, UK, and other applicable regions, we present a Google-certified consent message before serving personalized ads; you may choose non-personalized ads and can reset ad personalization in Settings → Google → Ads. A one-time ad-removal purchase may be available via Google Play Billing. Learn how Google uses data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

5. Data retention
On-device data remains until you clear it in the Game or uninstall. Advertising and diagnostic data are retained by the respective providers per their policies.
6. Security
We apply reasonable safeguards, including encryption in transit for network requests. No system is perfectly secure.
7. International transfers
Our providers may process data on servers outside your country, including the United States, under appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

PuzzleForge is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
