Sudoku Elite (“the App”) is developed by Skadence Interactive (“we”, “our”, “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your information when you use our Flutter game available on Android (Google Play Store) and iOS (Apple App Store). By using our App, you agree to the practices described herein.
We do not require registration, and we do not collect personally identifiable information (such as name, email, or phone number) unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., when contacting support).
Our App may collect non-identifiable data such as device identifiers, operating system details, and usage data for analytics and to serve relevant ads. This data is processed in accordance with Google’s and Apple’s policies.
We use the google_mobile_ads package to display ads and to reward users. Google and its third-party partners may collect and use data (including anonymous device identifiers and ad interaction data) to serve personalized ads as described in their policies. For more information, please review Google’s and Apple’s Privacy & Terms.
For premium subscriptions and individual in-app purchases—designed solely to remove ads or to unlock bonus hints—billing is processed through Google Play and the Apple App Store. No financial information (such as credit card numbers or bank details) is stored or processed by us. All financial transactions are handled entirely by the respective app store, and the only outcome for you is access to bonus features (e.g., bonus hints or ad-free play). Please refer to the respective store’s privacy policy for further details.
We have integrated Microsoft Clarity to collect analytical data that helps us understand how users interact with different sections of the App.
The data collected is anonymized and does not include personally identifiable information.
Consent is requested at first launch. If you decline, Clarity is disabled.
You can change your choice at any time via Settings → Privacy Controls inside the App.
In this version of the App, we have integrated additional packages to enhance functionality and user experience. These include:
in_app_update (v4.2.3): Manages update prompts by checking for app updates through the Play Store.
flutter_local_notifications (v18.0.1): Enables the delivery of local notifications.
timezone (v0.10.0) and flutter_timezone (v3.0.1): Provide accurate time-related functionality for scheduling notifications and other time-sensitive features.
permission_handler (v11.3.1): Facilitates the management and request of permissions.
Microsoft Clarity (SDK): Collects anonymized usage analytics with user consent.
To support these functionalities, the App requests the following additional permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM"/> <!-- Allows scheduling of precise alarms for time-sensitive notifications. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS" /> <!-- Permits the App to post notifications. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" /><!-- Ensures that notifications are re-scheduled following a device reboot. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" /> <!-- Enables haptic feedback when notifications are delivered. -->
On iOS, equivalent permissions (such as notifications) are requested through Apple’s system dialogs.
These permissions are used solely to enhance the App’s functionality and user experience, and are not used for tracking or accessing sensitive personal data.
The collected data helps us analyze usage trends, improve game performance, and enhance user experience.
We display ads using the google_mobile_ads SDK. Ads may be personalized based on your device information and interactions. This personalization is performed by Google and its partners. You can manage your ad preferences through your device settings or by reviewing Google’s ad settings.
Ad interactions may be used to reward players in specific parts of the game. Additionally, any financial transactions you make (for ad-free play or bonus hints) are solely for unlocking these premium features and do not result in the retention or processing of your financial data by us.
With your consent, anonymized interaction data may be collected to help us understand how the App is used and to improve its design and usability.
We integrate Google Mobile Ads and related services (e.g., analytics) which may access non-personal information as described. Google’s own privacy practices govern the use of your data when you interact with these services.
We integrate Microsoft Clarity to collect anonymized usage data with your consent. This data is processed in accordance with Microsoft’s privacy policies.
In-app purchases and App Store interactions are handled by Apple and are subject to Apple’s privacy practices.
We may share aggregated, non-personal data with trusted third-party service providers solely for analytics and ad delivery. These providers are contractually obligated to maintain data confidentiality and use the information only for the purposes specified.
Our App requests only the permissions necessary for its operation (e.g., network access). In addition to standard permissions, the newly integrated packages (listed above) may require extra permissions (such as scheduling exact alarms, posting notifications, receiving boot completed events, and accessing vibration controls) to provide enhanced functionality. We do not access sensitive personal data such as contacts or location unless explicitly required for game features (which are not implemented in this App).
We take commercially reasonable steps to protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no security measures are foolproof, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Since we do not collect personal information beyond what is required for game functionality, your rights are limited to the information provided by your device. You can control ad personalization through your device settings or via Google’s ad settings portal.
You can enable or disable Microsoft Clarity analytics at any time in Settings → Privacy Controls inside the App.
If you do not wish to receive personalized ads, please adjust your ad settings on your device or visit Google’s Ad Settings.
A copy of this Privacy Policy is available within the App. You can find it in the Settings/About section at any time.
A link to this Privacy Policy is provided on our Google Play Store and Apple App Store listings.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. The updated version will be posted within the App and on our website (if available). Your continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of any changes.
