1. Introduction
Welcome to Kids Sudoku ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users, especially children. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information when you use our mobile application.
Our app is designed for children and families. We strictly comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the latest Google Play Families Policy and Apple App Store Kids Category requirements.
2. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR Compliance)
We do not knowingly collect, use, or distribute any personally identifiable information (PII) from children under the age of 13 (or the relevant age in your jurisdiction) without verifiable parental consent.
No Personal Data Collection: We do not require children to provide names, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical locations.
No Behavioral Advertising: We do not use interest-based advertising or remarketing in our app.
Parental Gate: Any external links (such as support or shop) and in-app purchases are protected by a "Parental Gate" to ensure they are only accessed by adults.
3. Information We Collect
A. Non-Personal Data (Technical Information)
To improve the gaming experience, we may collect non-personal information such as:
Device type and operating system version.
In-game progress (e.g., levels unlocked, medals earned).
App performance data (e.g., crash logs).
This data is stored locally on your device and is not linked to any specific individual.
B. In-App Purchases
If you make a purchase, the transaction is handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. We do not collect or store your credit card or billing information.
4. Third-Party Services
We may use a limited number of third-party service providers to support the internal operations of the app:
Google Play Services / Apple Game Center: For achievements and cloud saves (subject to your system settings).
Advertising: If the app contains ads, we only use ad providers that are compliant with Google/Apple's family policies (e.g., AdMob "Tag for Child Directed Treatment"). These ads are non-behavioral and context-only.
5. Data Retention and Deletion
Since we do not collect personal information, we do not store PII on our servers. Any game progress stored on the device can be deleted by uninstalling the app or clearing the app data in your device settings.
6. Security
We use industry-standard encryption and security protocols to ensure that any local data remains secure.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
