Privacy Policy

Puzzle Ritual is a daily logic puzzle app. You can use the app without creating an account. The developer does not operate a server that receives your puzzle boards, answers, progress, or history.

1. Information Stored on Your Device

Puzzle Ritual stores information needed to provide the game and preserve your progress locally on your device. This may include:

• Daily puzzle progress, entered values, and completion status.
• Selected difficulty, tutorial status, streaks, scores, and puzzle history.
• Active play time and limited state used to manage when in-app ads may be shown.

This gameplay information is not uploaded to developer-operated servers and is not used to identify you.

2. Advertising and Third-Party Data Processing

Puzzle Ritual uses Google Mobile Ads to display advertisements and support the free app. Depending on your region, device settings, consent choices, and Google's configuration, Google and its advertising partners may process information such as:

• IP address, which may be used to estimate general location.
• Device or app identifiers.
• Ads viewed and interactions with ads.
• App interactions, diagnostic information, crash logs, and performance data.

This information may be used for ad delivery, frequency capping, measurement, analytics, security, fraud prevention, and ad personalization where permitted. Puzzle Ritual does not send your puzzle answers, board contents, streaks, or local history to Google Mobile Ads.

• Google Privacy Policy
• Google Mobile Ads data disclosure for iOS

3. Permissions and Privacy Choices

Puzzle Ritual does not require access to your photos, contacts, microphone, camera, precise location, or health data. The current version does not request App Tracking Transparency permission. You can manage available advertising and privacy controls in iOS Settings and through any consent options presented by Google where required.

4. Retention and Deletion

Puzzle progress, scores, streaks, and history remain on your device until you reset local progress or delete the app. Some preferences, such as selected difficulty or tutorial status, may remain after a progress reset. Deleting the app removes the remaining locally stored app data from the device. Information processed independently by Google is handled according to Google's privacy policy, retention practices, and available user controls.

5. Children's Privacy

Puzzle Ritual is not directed to children under 13, and the developer does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through a third-party service used by the app, please contact us.

6. Security

Gameplay information is kept within the app's local storage on your device. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but Puzzle Ritual limits developer-controlled data handling by not requiring an account and not uploading gameplay information to a developer server.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when app features, third-party SDK behavior, or legal requirements change. The revised policy and effective date will be posted on this page.
