Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Arrow Puzzle ("we", "our", or "the app"), developed by Asad Kareem, handles information when you install and play our puzzle game on mobile devices (iOS and Android).

By downloading, installing, or playing Arrow Puzzle, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

We strongly believe in minimal data footprint. We do not collect or store:

• Your name, email address, physical address, or phone number
• Your contacts, photo gallery, camera, microphone, or sensor data
• Precise or approximate GPS location data
• Biometric data, payment credentials, or personal identity documents
• Cross-app or cross-site browsing activity

3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

To deliver an uninterrupted puzzle experience, Arrow Puzzle stores non-sensitive game state information exclusively on your device's local sandbox storage using standard platform preferences:

• Gameplay Progression: Completed levels, current level indexes across difficulty tiers (Easy, Medium, Hard, Extreme), and unlocked items.
• User Preferences: Background music toggle (On/Off), sound effects toggle (On/Off), and tactile haptics toggle (On/Off).
• Game State: Remaining hint counts or puzzle reset states.

This data is stored purely locally. It is never uploaded to remote cloud servers or transmitted across external networks by us.

4. Device Permissions

Arrow Puzzle requests only the minimal system capabilities required for gameplay:

• Haptic Motor / Vibration: Used strictly to provide tactile feedback when arrows glide, collide, or clear the board. Can be disabled anytime in the game's Settings menu.
• Audio Output: Used strictly to play ambient music tracks and sound effects. Can be toggled on or off independently in Settings.

The game does not require or request access to your internet connection for core gameplay mechanics.

5. Third-Party Services & Distribution

Arrow Puzzle is distributed through official app marketplaces:

• Apple App Store: Operated by Apple Inc. Apple may collect anonymized diagnostics, installation statistics, and crash reports if you have opted in to share analytics with app developers in your iOS system settings. For details, consult Apple's Privacy Policy.
• Google Play Store: Operated by Google LLC. Google may collect diagnostic telemetry and installation metrics per Google's Privacy Policy.

6. Children's Privacy

Arrow Puzzle is suitable for general audiences and all age groups. We comply fully with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union.

Because the application does not collect any personal data from any user, we do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 where applicable).

7. Data Retention & Deletion

Since all gameplay data is retained locally on your mobile device, you have complete control over it at all times:

• You can clear your local cache or app storage via your device’s system settings at any time.
• Uninstalling Arrow Puzzle from your device immediately and permanently deletes all locally saved level progress, high scores, and preferences.

8. Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect the integrity of the application. Since we do not transmit personal data over public networks or maintain external databases containing personal records, the risk of data interception or unauthorized remote access to your identity is minimized.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect future features or regulatory updates. Any changes will be published directly on this page with an updated "Effective Date". We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
