Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy applies to Arrowza: Arrow Puzzle Game (“Arrowza,” “the App,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), published by Amit Kumar Pareek.

By using the App, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, please stop using and uninstall the App.

2. Information handled by the App

2.1 Information we do not directly request

Arrowza currently does not provide user accounts and does not directly request:

• Your name, email address, phone number, or postal address;
• Passwords, social-media logins, or account credentials;
• Contacts, call logs, messages, photos, videos, or files;
• Precise GPS location;
• Payment-card, bank-account, or government-identification information;
• Health, biometric, or other specially sensitive information.

2.2 Gameplay and preference information

The App stores gameplay-related information locally on your device, such as:

• Current and completed levels;
• Virtual coins, hearts, rewards, streaks, and journey progress;
• Gameplay statistics, including correct and incorrect taps, solve times, and booster usage;
• Completed daily challenges and events;
• Sound, vibration, and other in-app settings;
• Rewarded-ad counters and cooldown timing needed to enforce the daily limit.

3. Local device storage

Arrowza is designed as an offline-first puzzle game. Gameplay data and settings are stored locally on the device using Android local-storage technologies such as DataStore. We do not currently operate an Arrowza account server or cloud-sync service for this data.

Clearing the App’s storage, uninstalling the App, resetting the device, or losing access to the device may permanently remove locally stored progress. We may not be able to recover it.

4. Advertising and Google AdMob

Arrowza uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK (Google AdMob) to provide optional rewarded ads. A rewarded ad is shown only after you choose an in-app option to watch an ad in exchange for the reward displayed by the App, such as a heart or bonus virtual coins.

According to Google’s disclosures for the Google Mobile Ads SDK, the SDK may automatically collect and share the following types of information for advertising, analytics, security, and fraud-prevention purposes:

• IP address, which may be used to estimate a device’s general location;
• User product interactions, such as app launches, taps, and ad-video views;
• Diagnostic information, such as app/SDK performance, launch time, hang rate, and energy usage;
• Device or account identifiers, which may include the Android advertising ID, app set ID, and other applicable identifiers.

Google states that data collected by the Mobile Ads SDK is encrypted in transit. Google acts as an independent third-party service provider and handles information under its own terms and privacy policies.

5. Privacy and consent choices

Arrowza uses Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) where required to request or manage advertising-related privacy choices. Depending on your location, applicable law, previous choices, and Google’s configuration, the App may show a consent message before requesting ads.

Where the App displays a “Privacy Options” control, you may use it to review or change available consent choices. You may also manage or reset your device’s advertising ID through Android settings, where supported.

Consent requirements and available options may differ by country or region. If a consent form is not required for your current region, it may not be displayed.

6. How information is used

Information handled through the App may be used to:

• Operate the puzzle game and save local progress;
• Provide virtual rewards and enforce rewarded-ad limits and cooldowns;
• Remember App preferences and settings;
• Display, measure, and improve advertising through Google AdMob;
• Detect abuse, invalid traffic, fraud, crashes, or technical problems;
• Maintain security, reliability, and performance;
• Comply with applicable legal and platform requirements.

7. Sharing and third parties

We do not directly sell your personal information. The App does use Google AdMob, which may collect, process, and share information as described above and in Google’s own policies.

Information may also be disclosed if reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, enforce legal rights, protect users or the public, investigate fraud or security issues, or respond to a lawful request from authorities.

8. Data retention and deletion

Locally stored gameplay data remains on your device until it is overwritten, the App’s storage is cleared, or the App is uninstalled. Because Arrowza currently has no user-account system or cloud database for gameplay progress, we generally do not possess a remote copy that can be deleted or restored.

Information processed independently by Google is retained and deleted according to Google’s policies and applicable legal requirements. You may use Android and Google privacy controls to manage available advertising choices.

Privacy inquiries may be submitted using the contact information below. We will review reasonable requests in accordance with applicable law.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the App. Gameplay data is kept in the App’s local storage area. Network communication performed by third-party services is subject to their security practices. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

10. Children’s privacy

Arrowza does not knowingly ask children to submit direct personal details or create an account. Parents or guardians who believe a child has provided personal information through a support communication may contact us so that the matter can be reviewed.

The developer is responsible for configuring the App’s Google Play target audience, advertising treatment, and consent settings consistently with the audience selected for release and applicable child-protection rules.

11. Your choices and controls

Depending on your device, region, and applicable law, you may be able to:

• Decline to watch optional rewarded ads;
• Review or change available consent choices through Privacy Options;
• Reset or delete the Android advertising ID through device settings;
• Clear Arrowza’s local storage through Android settings;
• Uninstall the App to remove locally stored gameplay data;
• Contact us with a privacy question or request.

12. Third-party links and services

Ads or legal pages may contain links to third-party websites, apps, or services. We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their content, security, or privacy practices. Review their policies before providing information or using their services.

13. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the App, advertising services, legal requirements, or data practices change. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated in the App where appropriate.
