Thank you for playing Arrow Shift: Relaxing Puzzle ("the Game", "we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and safeguarded when you use our mobile game application.

        Summary: Arrow Shift: Relaxing Puzzle is an offline-first casual puzzle game. We do not require accounts or logins, and we do not collect your personal name, email address, physical location, phone number, contacts, or photos. The only data processed is through third-party advertising partners (Google AdMob) to serve banner and rewarded ads.
    

1. Information We Do NOT Collect

We believe in data minimization. The Game does NOT collect or ask for:

No user accounts, login credentials, or social media logins.
No personal identification data (such as your name, email address, or phone number).
No precise GPS location data.
No microphone, camera, contacts, or gallery access.
No financial, credit card, or billing information.

2. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

The Game stores your gameplay progress purely locally on your device in an internal storage file (game_save.bin). This includes:

Current level reached and stars earned per level.
In-game preferences (Sound toggle, Haptics toggle, and selected visual Theme).
In-game consumables (Hint count, Undo count, and Heart count).

This data stays on your local device and is never uploaded to our own external servers.

3. Information Collected by Third-Party Services (Google AdMob)

The Game integrates Google AdMob (Google Play Services Ads) to display banner ads on the home screen and voluntary rewarded ads (e.g. to unlock hints, undos, or restore hearts).

Google AdMob may collect and process pseudonymous information in accordance with their privacy policies, including:

Device Identifiers: Google Advertising ID (GAID), Android ID, device model, operating system version, and screen resolution.
Network & Connection Data: IP address (used to determine general coarse location, such as country or city), mobile carrier, and network type.

4. How We Use Information

Any data processed through Google AdMob is used exclusively to:

Display relevant banner and rewarded advertisements.
Provide rewarded gameplay bonuses (e.g. hint credits and heart restores) upon video completion.
Prevent ad fraud and ensure proper ad delivery metrics.
Monitor stability, diagnose crashes, and improve overall app reliability.

5. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Arrow Shift: Relaxing Puzzle is designed as a relaxing puzzle game suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. Third-party ad requests through Google AdMob comply with Google Play Families Policy and COPPA regulations where applicable. If you believe personal information has inadvertently been provided, please contact us immediately so we can take corrective action.
