1. Information We Collect
PuzzleLingo Kids does not require user accounts, email registration, phone numbers, or passwords. We do not collect or store any directly identifiable personal information such as your name, home address, or contacts.
Local Game Storage: We store basic game progress (stars earned, completed puzzle IDs, sound on/off preference) locally on your device using Android local storage. This information never leaves your device and is permanently removed if you clear app storage or uninstall the application.
2. Third-Party Services & Advertising (Google AdMob)
To support ongoing game development and provide free access to educational content, PuzzleLingo Kids integrates the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob).
Google AdMob may collect and process pseudonymous identifiers and device diagnostic data to deliver advertisements, prevent ad fraud, and monitor ad performance. This includes:
- Device information (hardware model, operating system version, system language)
- Coarse network state and IP address for geolocation-level ad routing
- Ad interaction metrics (views, clicks, impressions)
For full details on how Google processes ad data, please review:
Google Privacy & Terms — Advertising
3. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K Compliance)
We take the protection of minors seriously. PuzzleLingo Kids adheres to the standards of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR-K):
- No behavioral profiling or interest-based targeted advertising is served to child users.
- We configure ad content ratings to family-safe standards (rating G / general audience).
- We do not collect biometrics, audio recordings, or precise GPS location. Speech and sounds are processed offline or via built-in audio files.
- No social sharing, chat features, or public profile creation exists in the app.
4. Permissions Requested
The application requests only minimal, necessary system permissions:
android.permission.INTERNET: Required solely by the Google Mobile Ads SDK to request and display advertisements.android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Required by AdMob to verify whether an active network connection exists before making requests.
The app does not access cameras, microphones, contacts, external storage, SMS, or precise location.
5. Opt-Out and Managing Ad Preferences
Users and parents can reset or opt out of personalized ad tracking directly via Android device settings:
Settings → Google → Ads → Delete Advertising ID or Reset Advertising ID.
6. Data Security and Retention
Since we do not operate remote databases storing user profiles, we do not retain your personal records. Local game progress remains strictly on your local device hardware.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy periodically to reflect updates in Google Play policies, AdMob SDK requirements, or applicable laws. Any modifications will be posted directly to this URL with a revised effective date.
