Privacy Policy

1. Data stored on your device

Arrow Gates saves completed levels, the current puzzle, move history and preferences such as language, sound, vibration and animation settings in a local database. The game does not send this saved progress to a developer-operated game server. Device backup and restore may be handled separately by your operating system and its settings.

The game does not require your name, email address or a player account, and does not request access to your contacts, microphone, camera or precise GPS location. No separate developer analytics or crash-reporting service is integrated into the current game.

2. Google AdMob advertising

The game uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) to display banner ads and optional rewarded ads. Rewarded ads can provide in-game assistance, such as a hint, extra moves or restoring a suitable earlier position.

Google and its advertising partners may collect and process:

• IP address, which may be used to estimate approximate location;
• Device or advertising identifiers, such as the Android advertising ID when available;
• Ad interactions, including views, taps and video activity;
• Diagnostic information, including SDK performance and crash information.

These data support ad delivery, measurement, advertising analytics, security and fraud prevention. Ad personalization and data processing depend on your region, consent choices, device settings and Google's configuration. Choosing non-personalized advertising does not necessarily stop all advertising-related data processing.

Google describes its practices in the Google Privacy Policy, Advertising information and Mobile Ads SDK data disclosures. AdMob may share advertising data with partners as described in those disclosures. We do not operate a separate service that sells your saved game progress.

3. Consent and advertising choices

Where required, Google's consent messaging is used to request advertising consent. You may accept or decline the choices offered in that message. You can also manage advertising preferences through Google My Ad Center and your Android advertising privacy settings. Available controls vary by device and Android version. For help with an app-specific consent choice, contact us below.

Watching a rewarded ad is optional. You can continue playing or restart a puzzle without choosing a rewarded ad.

4. Retention and deletion

Local progress remains on your device until it is cleared or removed. To delete it, clear Arrow Gates app storage in Android settings or uninstall the app. This resets progress and settings. Any operating-system backups must be managed through your backup provider.

Google controls retention of data it processes under its own policies. We cannot directly erase advertising data held by Google; use Google's privacy controls or contact Google for those requests. If you email us, we use your address and message to respond and keep the correspondence only as needed for support and applicable legal requirements.

5. Security and international processing

We use the platform's local app storage for saved game data. Google states that Mobile Ads SDK data is encrypted in transit using TLS. No storage or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure. Advertising and support providers may process information in countries other than your own, subject to their applicable safeguards and privacy policies.

6. Children's privacy

We do not knowingly request personal information from children through a player account or registration form. If you believe a child has provided personal information directly to us, contact us so we can review and address the request. Advertising data processing is described above; the presence of a puzzle game alone does not mean that advertising collects no data.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, or complain to your local data protection authority. Contact us about information you have provided directly to us. For data controlled by Google, use Google's privacy tools and contact channels. We do not hold a server-side copy of your local puzzle progress.

8. This website and policy changes

This website is hosted by Firebase Hosting, a Google service. Hosting infrastructure may process technical request information such as IP addresses to deliver and secure the site. We have not added analytics scripts, advertising, forms or tracking cookies to this website. External links are governed by their respective providers' policies.

We may update this policy when the game or its data practices change. The effective date at the top identifies the current version.
