Short version: Noah Matching doesn't ask you to create an account or hand over any personal information. The only data involved is what Google's advertising SDK collects to show ads, and one small on-device setting for muting sound. Details below.
Noah Matching is a casual matching and sorting game built around Noah's Ark. It's made by Ictuz. This policy explains what information the app touches when you play it, and it applies to everyone who installs the app, regardless of age.
Not collected
Name, email, phone number, photos, contacts, location, camera or microphone access. There's no account or sign-in of any kind.
Not collected
Gameplay progress, scores, and settings live only in the app's local storage on your device. None of it is sent to us.
Collected by ads
Google AdMob, which powers the in-app banner and interstitial ads, collects an advertising identifier and device/app data to select and measure ads.
Stored on your device
A single on/off preference for sound, saved locally so the app remembers your choice between sessions.
Noah Matching is free to play and is supported by ads served through Google AdMob (a banner while you play, and an occasional interstitial between rounds — never in the middle of a puzzle). To select, deliver, and measure those ads, Google's Mobile Ads SDK may collect:
An advertising identifier (such as your device's Android Advertising ID)
General device information (device model, OS version, language, network type)
App interaction data related to ads (impressions, clicks, and similar ad-performance events)
Approximate, IP-based location (used for regional ad relevance, not for anything inside the game)
This data is collected and processed by Google, not by us — we never see or store it ourselves. You can read how Google handles it in the Google Privacy Policy and Google's AdMob data disclosure.
You can reset or limit your device's advertising identifier, or opt out of personalized ads entirely, from your device's own settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads on most Android versions). Doing so may make ads less relevant to you, but won't affect how the game itself plays.
The app saves one small preference — whether sound is on or off — using Android's standard local storage (SharedPreferences). This value stays on your device, is never transmitted anywhere, and is deleted automatically if you uninstall the app.
Noah Matching is designed for a general, family audience rather than specifically for children, and it is not knowingly directed at children under 13 in a way that requires special handling under laws like COPPA. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, regardless of age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us using the details below and we'll address it.
We don't operate a backend server for this game, so there's no account data or gameplay history of yours stored on our infrastructure to retain or secure — it simply doesn't exist outside your device. Data collected by Google's advertising SDK is retained and secured according to Google's own policies, linked above.
If this policy changes, we'll update the effective date at the top of this page. Continuing to use Noah Matching after a change means you accept the updated policy.
