Apptap Sudoku (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the Apptap Sudoku mobile/web app. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

1) What we collect

• Account identifiers: If you sign in with Google, Apple, or Facebook, we receive your UID and basic profile info those providers share (e.g., name, email). Anonymous sign-in creates a random UID only.
• Gameplay & telemetry: Puzzle attempts, times, mistakes, hints/autonotes usage, scores, device language, and app version.
• Purchases: Non-sensitive purchase metadata from the app stores (e.g., product ID, purchase token, status). We never see your full payment details.
• Ads data: AdMob may use device identifiers and coarse location for showing non-personalized or contextual ads (families-safe in Kids Mode).
• Log data: Crash/diagnostic data and basic device info (model, OS version, IP-derived region).

2) How we use data

• Provide core features (sign-in, cloud backup/sync, leaderboards).
• Run daily/weekly events, compute scores, and fight spam/abuse.
• Process purchases and restore entitlements.
• Show ads (or remove them if you buy Remove Ads / VIP).
• Improve reliability, performance, and user experience.

3) Sharing

We share data only with service providers needed to run the app:

• Google Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Functions, Hosting)
• Google AdMob (ads; families-eligible, non-personalized for Kids Mode)
• Apple / Google Play (in-app purchases & account sign-in)
• Facebook Login (if you choose to sign in with Facebook)

We don’t sell personal data.

4) Retention

Gameplay and account data are kept while your account is active. You can ask us to delete your data; we’ll delete account-linked data unless we must keep some records for fraud, security, or legal reasons.

5) Children

Kids Mode is designed with families in mind. Ads in Kids Mode are non-personalized and served via families-eligible SDKs. Our app is not intended for children under 13 without parental consent.

6) Your choices

• Use the app without sign-in (anonymous UID).
• Toggle ads/telemetry options where available.
• Request data deletion or a copy of your data (see contact).
• EEA users: we show a consent form (Google UMP).

7) Security

We use industry-standard controls and Firebase security rules. No method is 100% secure, but we work to protect your data.

8) Changes

We’ll update this policy as needed and post the new date at the top.

9) Contact & Data Deletion
