PRIVACY POLICY FOR GRIDBURST

Effective Date: August 13, 2026
Application Name: GridBurst
Package Name: com.novexa.gridburst
Developer: Novexa Studios / Independent Developer

1. Introduction

Welcome to GridBurst.

We respect your privacy and have designed GridBurst with privacy as a core principle. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the GridBurst Android application.

GridBurst is designed as a fully offline game and does not require an account, internet connection, or access to sensitive device features.

2. Personal Data Collection

GridBurst does not collect, transmit, sell, share, or upload personal information to the developer or any external server.

The application does not request or collect information such as:

• Name

• Email address

• Phone number

• Home address

• Precise or approximate location

• Contacts

• SMS or call information

• Photos or videos

• Microphone recordings

• Camera data

• Advertising ID

• Device identifiers for tracking

• Browsing activity

• IP address through developer-operated services

• Payment information

No user account or registration is required to play GridBurst.

3. Device Permissions

GridBurst is designed under a Zero-Permission Policy.

The application does not intentionally request Android permissions for:

• Camera

• Microphone

• Location

• Contacts

• Phone

• SMS

• External storage

• Photos or videos

• Bluetooth

• Notifications

• Internet access

• Network state

• Accessibility services

• Device administrator access

Users should not receive runtime permission requests while using GridBurst.

The final production build should maintain zero declared Android permissions.

4. Offline Operation

GridBurst operates entirely offline.

The game does not require:

• Wi-Fi

• Mobile data

• Cloud services

• Remote servers

• Online accounts

• Online multiplayer

• Online leaderboards

The game can be played while the device is in Airplane Mode.

5. Local Game Data

GridBurst may store game-related information locally on your device so that your progress and preferences can be restored when you reopen the game.

Locally stored information may include:

• Best score

• Current game progress

• Adventure progress

• Stars earned

• Unlocked themes

• Selected theme

• Game statistics

• Daily puzzle completion

• Achievements

• Tutorial status

• Music preference

• Sound preference

• Other game settings

This information remains inside the application's private local storage.

It is not uploaded or transmitted to the developer.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

Local game information remains on your device until:

• You reset your progress from within the game, where available;

• You clear the application's data through Android settings; or

• You uninstall GridBurst.

Uninstalling the application normally removes locally stored game progress associated with the app.

Because GridBurst does not maintain user accounts or cloud servers, the developer does not maintain a remote copy of your game progress.

7. Advertising

GridBurst does not currently contain third-party advertising SDKs.

The application does not currently display:

• Banner advertisements

• Interstitial advertisements

• Rewarded advertisements

• Personalized advertisements

GridBurst does not use an Advertising ID for advertising or tracking.

If advertising is introduced in a future version, this Privacy Policy and the application's Google Play Data Safety disclosures must be updated before that version is released.

8. Analytics and Tracking

GridBurst does not currently integrate analytics or tracking services.

The application does not intentionally use:

• Google Analytics

• Firebase Analytics

• Advertising analytics

• Behavioral tracking SDKs

• Cross-app tracking

• Tracking pixels

• Telemetry services

No gameplay activity is intentionally transmitted to the developer for analytics purposes.

9. Third-Party Services

The current version of GridBurst is designed without third-party cloud, advertising, analytics, social-login, or tracking services.

If third-party services are added to a future release, this Privacy Policy will be updated to describe those services and their data practices.

10. Children's Privacy

GridBurst does not intentionally collect personal information from users, including children.

The game does not require users to provide their:

• Name

• Age

• Email address

• Phone number

• Location

• Photograph

• Voice

• Contact information

Parents or guardians who have questions regarding the application's privacy practices may contact the developer using the contact information provided below.

11. Security

Because GridBurst is designed to operate offline and game progress is stored locally within the application's private storage, the amount of information exposed to external services is minimized.

However, no software or device-storage system can be described as absolutely secure in every circumstance.

Users should maintain appropriate security protections on their Android devices.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated if GridBurst's features, technologies, permissions, data practices, or third-party integrations change.

When changes are made, the Effective Date at the top of this Privacy Policy should also be updated.

Users are encouraged to review the latest Privacy Policy when installing a new version of the application.

13. Google Play Data Safety

The Google Play Data Safety declaration for GridBurst should reflect the behavior of the actual production release.

For the current intended implementation:

• Personal data transmitted to developer servers: None

• Account creation: None

• Advertising SDK: None

• Analytics SDK: None

• Internet functionality: None

• Sensitive device permissions: None

• Game progress: Stored locally on the user's device

These statements should be verified against the final release application's merged Android Manifest and included dependencies before publication.

Important: If GridBurst later adds advertisements, analytics, online leaderboards, cloud saves, accounts, multiplayer, Firebase, or any other network-based feature, this Privacy Policy and the Google Play Data Safety form must be reviewed and updated before publishing that version.
