Privacy Policy for Sudoku Pulse

Last Updated: November 4, 2026

1. Overview

Sudoku Pulse is a free puzzle game for Android and iOS. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data, and the choices you have. In this policy, "we" means the developer of Sudoku Pulse.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Game Data (Local Storage)

Your game progress, scores, and statistics
Puzzle difficulty preferences
Game settings (sound, auto-check, hint preferences)
Storage: All data is stored locally on your device. We do NOT send game data to servers.

2.2 Advertising (Google AdMob)

Sudoku Pulse shows ads served by Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads, Google's Mobile Ads SDK in the app collects and uses information from your device, which may include:

Your device's advertising identifier (Advertising ID on Android, IDFA on iOS where you allow it)
Your IP address and the approximate location derived from it
Device information such as model, operating system version, and language
How you interact with ads and the app (for example ad impressions and clicks)
Ad performance and diagnostic data

This information can be personal data. It is processed by Google, which may share it with its advertising partners, as described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and in Google's Privacy Policy. We only receive aggregated ad reports (for example impressions and revenue) from Google, not information about you personally.

2.3 Your Consent and Tracking Choices

European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland: When you open the app, it shows a consent message from Google's certified consent management platform (User Messaging Platform). You can accept, decline, or manage your choices, and you can review or change them at any time in the app under Settings → Privacy → Privacy options.
iPhone and iPad: The app asks for your permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt before using the IDFA. If you decline, you can still use the app and see ads, but they will not be personalized using the IDFA. You can change this in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
Android: You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of ads personalization in your device settings (usually under Settings → Privacy → Ads or Settings → Google → Ads).
You can also manage Google's ad personalization at adssettings.google.com.

2.4 In-App Purchases

Purchase history is managed by Google Play / Apple App Store
We do NOT store payment information
Purchases tied to your Google/Apple account

3. How We Use Information

Game experience: Saving your progress and settings on your device
Ads: Google uses the data described above to serve and measure ads and to prevent ad fraud. Ads are personalized only where you have given consent or the law allows it
Legal basis: Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, UK and Switzerland), we rely on your consent for personalized advertising and for storing or accessing information on your device
No selling: We never sell your personal data

4. Third-Party Services

We use:

Google Mobile Ads (AdMob): Serving and measuring ads. Privacy Policy
Google User Messaging Platform: Collecting and storing your consent choices in the EEA, UK and Switzerland. Privacy Policy
Google Play / App Store: In-app purchase processing

5. Data Retention

Game data and consent choices: Stored on your device until you change them or uninstall the app
AdMob data: Subject to Google's retention policy (typically 24 months)
Purchases: Retained by Google/Apple indefinitely for licensing

6. Your Choices and Rights

Change your ad consent: In the EEA, UK and Switzerland, open Settings → Privacy → Privacy options in the app at any time
Limit ad tracking: Use the device settings described in section 2.3
Delete data: Uninstall the app to remove all local game data and stored consent choices
Data protection rights: Depending on where you live (for example the EEA, UK or Switzerland) you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Because ad data is processed by Google, you can also use Google's data and privacy controls
