Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 21, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Maksim Zinchenko ("we", "us", or "our") handles information in the mobile application Picture Puzzle Quest (package name: `dev.maksimzinchenko.puzzle`).

1. Information We Collect

Picture Puzzle Quest is a puzzle game that stores game progress locally on your device.

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information to our servers. Specifically:

- We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or precise location.

- We do not collect device identifiers, advertising IDs, or IP addresses.

- We do not use analytics, advertising, or crash reporting services that transmit personal data.

- We do not show advertisements.

Game progress (levels completed, settings, volume preferences, language) is stored only locally on your device using the app’s local storage.

2. Secure Data Handling

All game data (progress, settings, preferences) is stored exclusively on the user’s device using the app’s local storage. No personal or sensitive data is transmitted to our servers or to any third parties. We do not use analytics, advertising, or crash reporting services that collect or transmit personal information.

3. Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, or disclose any user data to third parties, because we do not collect personal data on our servers.

4. Third-Party Services

The app currently does not integrate any third-party SDKs that collect or process personal data.

5. Children’s Privacy

The app is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

6. Data Retention

Because we do not collect personal data on our servers, we do not retain any personal information. Local game data remains on your device until you uninstall the app or clear the app’s data.

7. GDPR (European Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, the following applies:

- Legal basis: We do not process personal data on our servers. Local storage of game progress on your device is performed solely to provide the core functionality of the app.

- Your rights: You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. Since we do not hold personal data on our servers, these rights can be exercised by clearing the app’s data or uninstalling the app.

- Data transfers: We do not transfer personal data outside the EEA.

- Contact: To exercise your rights or ask questions, contact us at the email below.

8. CCPA (California Residents)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides you with specific rights regarding your personal information:

- Right to know: We do not collect personal information as defined by the CCPA.

- Right to delete: Since we do not store personal information on our servers, there is no data to delete from our side. You may delete local data by clearing the app’s storage or uninstalling the app.

- Right to opt-out of sale: We do not sell personal information.

- Non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any CCPA rights.
