Automatically Collected Information: The Application may automatically collect certain information about your device, including:
• Device type and model
• Operating system version
• Unique device identifiers (advertising ID)

This information is collected to improve app functionality and for advertising purposes.
2. CAMERA USAGE
This application requires access to your device's camera to capture images of Sudoku puzzles for solving purposes.
Important: We do not save, store, transmit, or share any images or video captured by the camera with any external servers or third parties. All image processing happens locally on your device and images are processed in memory only.
Camera permission is required for the core functionality of the app. If you deny camera permission, the camera-based solving feature will not be available.
3. PHOTO/MEDIA ACCESS
If you choose to use the photo selection feature, the app may request access to your device's photo library (Android 13+) or external storage (older versions) to allow you to select Sudoku puzzle images. We do not access, store, or transmit any photos beyond what you explicitly select for processing.
4. ADVERTISING (GOOGLE ADMOB)
This app uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and use:
• Advertising ID
• Device information
• Location data (if permitted)
• App usage data
This data is used to provide personalized advertisements. You can opt out of personalized ads in your device settings.
