Klemon ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how information is collected, used, and disclosed
when you download, install, and play Thread (the "Application" or "Game").
By using Thread, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
================================================================================
1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
================================================================================
a. Information Automatically Collected
Thread does not require user registration, login credentials, or account creation. We do not collect or store personal identifying information such as
your name, physical address, email address, or phone number.
However, to provide smooth gameplay, diagnose crashes, balance level difficulty, and support free access via non-intrusive advertising, the
Application utilizes trusted third-party services that may automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable technical information, including:
- Device Model, manufacturer, Operating System version, and hardware specifications.
- Anonymous Unique Device Identifiers and Advertising Identifiers (such as Google Advertising ID / AAID).
- Gameplay metrics, level progression, session duration, hints used, and in-game events.
- Crash reports, error stack traces, and performance diagnostics.
- IP addresses (used strictly for coarse geographic estimation, analytics aggregation, network diagnostics, and fraud prevention).
b. Information Stored Locally on Your Device
Thread stores your game progression, unlocked campaign pages, best completion times, star ratings, dark paper theme preferences, and haptic feedback
settings locally on your device via Android Preferences DataStore. This data remains strictly on your device and is not transmitted to any private
servers.
================================================================================
2. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND SDKs
================================================================================
The Application integrates trusted industry-standard SDKs that process data under their respective privacy policies:
- Google Play Services
Used for Android OS compatibility, security verification, and core system functions.
Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK)
Used to display non-intrusive banner, interstitial, and rewarded advertisements. AdMob may utilize device advertising identifiers to serve relevant
ads according to your device's ad personalization settings.
Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
- Google Firebase (Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics & Firebase Remote Config)
Used to aggregate anonymous usage statistics, capture real-time crash logs to fix software bugs, and dynamically adjust game configurations (such as
ad frequencies and game balance parameters) over the air.
Privacy Policy: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
================================================================================
3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
================================================================================
The non-personal technical and gameplay data collected is used solely to:
- Ensure optimal game performance and stability across all Android devices and screen sizes.
- Deliver new campaign volumes, endless puzzle challenges, and hint features.
- Identify, diagnose, and resolve crashes, bugs, and performance bottlenecks.
- Display relevant in-game advertisements.
- Balance puzzle difficulty curves and improve overall user experience.
================================================================================
4. DATA RETENTION AND SECURITY
================================================================================
We do not maintain private external databases containing your personal information. Our third-party service providers (Google and Firebase) retain
anonymized technical, crash, and analytics data in accordance with industry-standard encryption protocols and their respective data retention schedules.
================================================================================
5. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY (COPPA & GDPR COMPLIANCE)
================================================================================
Thread is a general-audience logic puzzle game suitable for puzzle enthusiasts of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable
information from children under the age of 13 (or under the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction). If we discover that a child has provided us
with personal information, we will take immediate steps to delete such data.
================================================================================
6. YOUR CHOICES AND OPT-OUT RIGHTS
================================================================================
- Personalized Ads: You can opt out of personalized advertising or reset/delete your Google Advertising ID directly from your Android device settings
(Settings -> Google -> Ads -> Reset advertising ID / Delete advertising ID).
- Local Game Data Reset: You can reset your campaign progress, stars, and best times at any time directly from the in-game Settings menu or by
clearing the app data via Android Settings.
================================================================================
7. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect updates in legal requirements or game features. Any changes will be posted with an updated
