We take the protection of your personal data seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you use our Sudoku app ("App"). We comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable German data protection laws.

Our App is designed to function with minimal personal data collection. However, certain features, including advertisements, may require data collection.
When you use our App, certain technical data may be automatically collected:
Device information (e.g., device type, operating system version)
Usage data (e.g., game statistics, crash reports)
This data is processed to improve the performance and stability of the App.
Our App uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect the following data:
Advertising ID (AAID/IDFA) – Used to serve personalized or non-personalized ads.
IP address – Used for geotargeting and fraud prevention.
App interaction data – Used to optimize ad performance.
AdMob may share this data with third-party advertising partners to provide relevant ads. You can read Google's AdMob Privacy Policy here:

Personalized vs. Non-Personalized Ads
Personalized ads: Use collected data to show relevant ads based on your interests.
Non-personalized ads: Use contextual information (e.g., app content) rather than user data.
Under the GDPR, we ask for your consent before displaying personalized ads.
If you accept, Google AdMob may use data for personalized ads.
If you decline, only non-personalized ads will be shown.
You can change your ad preferences at any time in the App settings.
We process your data only for the following purposes:
✅ To provide and improve the App functionality
✅ To analyze App performance and fix errors
✅ To display ads and generate revenue
✅ To comply with legal obligations
We do not use your data for automated decision-making outside of ad-serving processes.
We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR – Your consent (for personalized ads).
Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – Legitimate interest in showing non-personalized ads and improving the App.
You can withdraw your consent for personalized ads at any time in the App settings.
We store your data only as long as necessary for the purposes stated above.
Advertising data is managed by Google AdMob, and you can control data retention via Google's ad settings.
Automatically collected data (e.g., crash logs) is typically deleted after 90 days.
If data retention is no longer necessary, it will be deleted or anonymized.
We take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no internet-based service is 100% secure.
As a user, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right to access (Art. 15 GDPR) – Request details on stored data.
Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR) – Request corrections to inaccurate data.
Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) – Request deletion of your data.
Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) – Limit how we process your data.
Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR) – Object to data processing, including ads.
Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7(3) GDPR) – Withdraw consent for personalized ads at any time.
