The app does not collect any personal data. There is no account, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking. Your progress stays on your phone and we never receive it. The puzzles work fully offline. The only time the app goes online is to talk to Google Play about puzzle packs you buy.
The app stores your settings (such as dark mode, sounds and the timer), which puzzles you've finished, your best times, puzzles you're part-way through and which packs you've unlocked.
All of this is stored only on your device, inside the app's private storage. It is not sent to us or to anyone else.
The app contains no advertising, analytics, crash-reporting or tracking tools. It does not use advertising IDs, does not track you across other apps or websites, and does not sell or share any data.
Extra puzzle packs and Mega Bundles are optional one-off purchases, sold and processed by Google Play under Google's terms and privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). We never see or store your card or payment details. There are no subscriptions.
The app asks Google Play for pack prices and which packs your Google account owns, so it can unlock them and restore them on a new phone. The app remembers this on your device. As the seller, Google provides us with limited order information (such as an order number, date, price and country) through the Google Play Console. We use it only for accounting, tax, refunds and support.
The app does not ask for access to your location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos, calendar or files.
Google Play billing and internet/network access are used solely to talk to Google Play about purchases.
If Android's own backup is turned on for your phone, Android may include the app's data in your phone's backup to your Google account, as it does for most apps. That backup is controlled by you, Android and Google; we can't see it.
Your data stays on your device until you reset your progress in the app's settings, clear the app's storage in Android settings, or uninstall the app. Uninstalling the app deletes all of its data from your phone. Packs you've bought stay linked to your Google account and can be restored.
If you email us, we use your email address and message only to reply to you, and we delete them when they're no longer needed.
The app is suitable for all ages. It doesn't collect personal data from anyone, including children. Purchases are made through Google Play, where parents can require approval for purchases using Google Play's parental controls.
Because we don't hold any personal data about you from the app, there is usually nothing for us to access, correct or delete – your progress is on your own device and under your control. You still have rights under UK data protection law (UK GDPR). If you have a question or concern, please email us. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (https://ico.org.uk).
We may update this policy from time to time, for example if the app gains new features. We'll post the new version at https://sites.google.com/view/hplprogames/word-search-encyclopedia-privacy-policy and in the app, and change the "Last updated" date.
