Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Glided Gate Puzzle ("we", "our", or "the app") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile application. By downloading, installing, or using the app, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information through two third-party services:

a) Firebase Analytics (Google)

Firebase may automatically collect:

• Device model, OS version, and language
• App version and session duration
• In-app events (level start, complete, hints used, Time Attack streak)
• Approximate country/region (from IP address)
• A randomly generated Firebase installation ID

Firebase Analytics does not intentionally collect your name, email, or precise location through this app. See Google's Privacy Policy.

b) Google AdMob (Advertising)

AdMob may collect and use:

• Advertising ID (GAID) for personalized ads
• IP address for approximate location targeting
• Device info (model, OS, screen size)
• Ad interaction data (impressions, clicks)
• App usage patterns relevant to ad serving

You can manage ad personalization through your Google device settings. See Google's Ads Policy.

3. Information Stored Locally

Stored on your device only — never sent to our servers:

• Game progress and saved game state
• Best scores, move counts, and star ratings
• Daily play streak
• Sound and vibration preferences
• Time Attack best streak

This data may be deleted when you uninstall the app or clear the app's data.

4. Permissions Used

• Vibrate — Haptic feedback (toggleable in settings)
• Post Notifications — Optional daily play reminders
• Receive Boot Completed — Reschedule reminders after restart
• Internet — Load ads and send analytics
• Access Network State — Check connectivity before ads

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. Shared only with:

• Google Firebase — analytics processing
• Google AdMob — serving advertisements

Both are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

6. Children's Privacy

This app is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Data Retention

Firebase retains event data for up to 14 months. AdMob retention is governed by Google's policies. Local game data is retained until you uninstall the app or clear the app's data.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted within the app with an updated effective date.
