Privacy Policy
Effective September 24, 2026 · Published by ICTUZ · Contact: ictuzemail@gmail.com
In short: the game has no accounts and no sign-in. Your progress stays on your phone. We (the developer) do not collect your name, email, location, or contacts.
The only data leaving your device goes to Google: AdMob for non-personalized, child-safe ads, and Google Play if you buy "Remove Ads".
The Apostle Paul ("the app") is a Bible story game for Android, published by ICTUZ. You guide the Apostle Paul through stages based on the Book of Acts. This policy explains what data the app and the Google services it uses handle, and the choices you have.
The app saves the following in Android's private app storage. It is never sent to us and is deleted when you uninstall the app:
Story Mode progress: which stages are unlocked and how many stars you earned.
Eternal Mode levels and best scores.
Your settings: language, music, and sound effects.
Whether you bought Remove Ads, and a level counter used to space out full-screen ads.
A cached copy of the More Games list and its images (see below).
None of this is linked to your name or any account, because the app has none.
Unless you buy Remove Ads, the app shows banner ads and, every few levels, a full-screen ad through Google AdMob. Because the game is made for children as well as adults, every ad request is marked as directed to children (under COPPA and as under the age of consent under GDPR). This means:
Ads are not personalized and are not based on a player's interests or past behavior.
Ads are limited to content rated for general audiences (G).
The app does not access the device's advertising ID. The permission for it is removed from the app.
To deliver and count ads and prevent fraud, AdMob still receives limited technical data such as device type, operating system, IP address, and ad interactions. Google handles this data under its rules for child-directed requests.
Google describes how it uses this data in the How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services page and the Google Privacy Policy.
The optional one-time "Remove Ads" purchase is handled entirely by Google Play. The app only asks Google Play whether you own it. It never receives your card number, billing address, or other payment details.
The More Games screen downloads a public list of our other games (name, picture, and Play Store link) and their pictures from Google Sheets and the image hosts listed there. The request sends nothing that identifies you, apart from the IP address that any internet request carries. The list and pictures are cached on your device.

Needed by Google Play to offer the Remove Ads purchase.
The app does not ask for your contacts, location, camera, microphone, or files, and does not use the advertising ID.
The game is made for everyone, including children under 13, and follows the Google Play Families policy. The app has no accounts, chat, or sign-in, and does not ask players for their name, email, age, or any other personal information. Ads are child-directed and non-personalized, as described above, and the only purchase (Remove Ads) goes through Google Play, which applies its own parental controls and purchase approvals.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Data on your device stays until you clear the app's storage or uninstall the app. Either one removes it completely. We keep no server account or backup of your data, so there is nothing for us to delete on our side. Data held by Google (such as your advertising ID and purchase history) is controlled through your Google account and device settings.
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new effective date.
