Merge Mind – Number Drop 2048
Think. Merge. Solve.

Merge Mind – Number Drop 2048 ("Merge Mind") is a mobile number-merging puzzle game. We respect your privacy and aim to collect and use only the information necessary to provide the game and its advertising functionality. This Privacy Policy explains how Merge Mind handles information when you use the app.

1. Information We Collect

Merge Mind does not require you to create an account or provide personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or physical address to play the game.

Merge Mind does not have its own user accounts, proprietary backend, or cloud database for storing your game progress.

The app does not directly request access to your contacts, camera, microphone, or precise location.

Third-party advertising services may process certain technical and advertising-related information as described below.

2. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

Merge Mind stores certain gameplay and preference information locally on your device to maintain progress between app sessions.

This may include:

• Current score and best score

• Highest tile achieved

• In-game coin balance

• Current board and tile positions

• Saved game progress

• Undo-related gameplay information

• Sound preference

This information is stored using the device's application storage.

Merge Mind does not transmit this gameplay and preference information to a server operated by us.

Depending on your device settings, some locally stored information may be included in operating-system-managed backups.

3. Advertising and Third-Party Services

Merge Mind uses Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to display advertisements.

The advertising formats include:

• Native Ads

• Interstitial Ads

• Rewarded Ads

Rewarded Ads may allow you to receive in-game coins after successfully completing an eligible advertisement.

Google Mobile Ads and related Google services may process information such as:

• Advertising or device identifiers

• IP address and network-related information

• Device and operating-system information

• Advertising impressions, clicks, and interactions

• Diagnostic and performance information

The information processed may depend on your device, region, consent choices, and applicable settings.

Google's data processing is governed by its own privacy policies.

Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

4. Consent and Privacy Choices

Merge Mind uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to manage advertising consent and privacy choices where applicable.

Depending on your location and applicable privacy requirements, Google may display a consent form.

Where required, you can review or change available advertising privacy choices through the app's Settings menu.

These options are provided through Google's consent management system and may vary by region.

5. How Information Is Used

Information handled by Merge Mind or its integrated services may be used for:

• Saving and restoring game progress

• Maintaining scores and virtual coins

• Saving gameplay preferences

• Displaying advertisements

• Providing rewarded advertisements

• Managing advertising consent and privacy choices

• Supporting app functionality and updates

Merge Mind does not currently operate its own analytics or player-account backend.

6. Data Sharing

Merge Mind does not sell or rent personal information.

Locally stored gameplay information is not uploaded to a Merge Mind-operated server.

Advertising-related information may be collected or processed by Google Mobile Ads and related Google services according to their privacy practices.

Merge Mind does not operate its own advertising or analytics server.

7. Other App Services

Merge Mind uses certain software components and platform services, including:

• Google Mobile Ads / Google UMP — advertising and consent management

• Shared Preferences — local game and settings storage

• Audio playback — game sound effects

• Google Play In-App Updates — Android app updates

• URL handling — opening external links

• Native sharing — sharing game information through your device

These services may have their own data-handling practices and privacy policies.

8. External Links and Sharing

Merge Mind may allow you to:

• Open its Google Play Store listing

• Share the game using your device's sharing interface

• Open external websites or services

When you use external services, their own privacy policies and terms may apply.

9. Data Security

Merge Mind stores gameplay and preference information using device application storage.

We aim to avoid unnecessary collection of personal information.

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. Data Retention

Merge Mind does not maintain a developer-operated cloud database for game progress.

Locally stored game data generally remains on your device until it is cleared, overwritten, or removed through application or device storage controls.

Operating-system backup and restore features may preserve certain app data.

Third-party advertising services retain information according to their own policies.

11. Data Deletion and Your Choices

You can remove locally stored Merge Mind data through your device's application storage settings or by uninstalling the app.

On Android, you can generally use Settings → Apps → Merge Mind → Storage → Clear Data.

On iOS, you can delete the app to remove its local application data, subject to operating-system backup and restore behavior.

Clearing app data may remove saved progress, scores, coins, and preferences.

This does not necessarily delete information retained by third-party services such as Google.

You may also manage available advertising privacy choices through the App's Privacy Options feature where provided.

12. Children's Privacy

Merge Mind is intended for users aged 13 years and above and is not specifically directed toward children under 13.

The app does not require users to create an account or directly provide personal information to play.

Parents or guardians with privacy-related questions may contact us using the email address below.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in Merge Mind, its features, third-party services, or applicable requirements.

When changes are made, the Last updated date will be revised.

We encourage users to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
