Privacy Policy
Offline puzzles. Local progress. Optional rewarded ads. Current version 1.2.0 and the planned 1.3.0 update are described separately below.
About this policy and app versions
Arrow Modo is an arrow puzzle game. Core puzzles work offline and do not require an account. This policy covers currently released versions and the planned version 1.3.0. Version 1.3.0 is not yet published at the time of this policy update; its practices below describe the prepared update and apply when it is released. Previously distributed versions without advertising do not include ad features.
Current version 1.2.0
The current advertising-enabled version asks for an age group, without requesting a birth date. The choice is stored only on your device. Only players selecting 18 or older can request optional rewarded ads, subject to availability and applicable privacy choices. Under 18, Prefer not to say, dismissed or unknown age disables advertising and advertising consent requests. This version allows you to create postcards with custom messages. The sections below describe how those messages are handled.
Planned version 1.3.0
The prepared update removes the startup age question and does not request a birth date. Instead, all ad requests are configured for child-directed and under-age-of-consent treatment with G-rated ad content. Google UMP is separately marked under age of consent. The update creates puzzle-only postcards with a fixed congratulations message. Custom messages from older codes are hidden and outgoing codes are rewritten to the fixed message. A local age choice saved by an earlier version may remain in app storage; the prepared update does not use it to personalise advertising or ask for a new answer. These changes are not a statement that the update is already available on Google Play.
Local game information
The app stores current, unlocked and completed levels, remaining arrows, lives, mistakes, coins, in-game coin purchases, rewarded-ad receipt identifiers, theme, sound and haptic preferences in Android app-private storage. These records are used to resume your game and remember settings. They are not uploaded to the developer or shared with advertising services. There is no game account or cloud sync.
Mistake Practice
The app can keep up to three small local puzzle examples, blocked-move counts and practice-clear counts to provide practice puzzles. These records stay on your device. Clear practice history removes them. Clearing the app's stored data also removes them.
Optional rewarded ads
Where advertising is enabled, you can choose an optional Google AdMob rewarded ad to earn 30 in-game coins when the advertising SDK confirms the reward. Loading, a failed ad or dismissal alone does not grant coins. Ads are not required to play. They require an internet connection and depend on availability. Test builds use Google sample ad units.
Advertising data and privacy choices
When you request an ad, Google Mobile Ads and Google's User Messaging Platform may process IP addresses and approximate location, device/app identifiers such as app set ID, ad interactions, crash information and other diagnostics for ad delivery, measurement and fraud/security purposes. The app does not request Android location permission or access to contacts, camera, microphone or your photo library. Advertising ID permissions are removed from advertising-enabled builds. This does not prevent all identifier or diagnostic processing.
In version 1.2.0, applicable adult privacy choices are requested before ads load. Where required by the SDK, Ad privacy choices are available in Settings. In the planned age-free update, all requests use restricted age treatment and UMP's under-age setting; UMP does not request adult consent in that mode. These flags restrict personalised advertising and identifier processing, but do not mean no data is processed. If ads cannot be requested under the applicable privacy state, gameplay remains available without ads. Where the SDK requires privacy options, they are available in Settings.
Google describes its processing at https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads. The current inspected app builds include no additional mediation-network SDKs.
Puzzle Postcard and sharing
Postcards and puzzle codes are created and decoded locally and are not uploaded to the developer. In current version 1.2.0, a code contains the custom message and puzzle information. Codes are not encrypted; do not include sensitive information. In the planned version 1.3.0, there is no custom-message entry box: cards contain the puzzle and the fixed message "Well done!". Older codes can still open a puzzle, but their custom messages are not displayed by that version and are not included in its outgoing cards.
Copy code places a code on Android's clipboard. Share card creates an image in private app cache and opens Android's chooser. The other app you select receives the image and link/code under its own privacy practices. Recipients may keep or forward them. Android may temporarily retain screen state for restoration. Cached card images older than seven days are cleaned up when a new card is shared; clearing the cache removes local images. Copies already sent to other apps or people are outside the developer's control.
Permissions and security
Advertising-enabled builds use Internet and network-state permissions. Android's vibration permission provides optional haptics, which can be turned off in Settings. Android's application sandbox and your device security protect local app data. No security measure guarantees absolute protection; keep your device protected and updated.
Retention and deletion
Local progress and preferences remain until you clear app storage or uninstall. To delete them, open Android Settings, select Apps, Arrow Modo, Storage or Storage and cache, and Clear storage or Clear data. Labels vary by device. This resets local progress. The developer has no server-side game-progress database or account to delete, restore or sync.
Support and children's privacy
Emailing sukhadewe121@gmail.com gives the developer your email address and the message or attachments you choose to send. The email provider processes this correspondence. It is used to answer support requests and retained as needed for support and applicable obligations, not advertising. Do not send passwords, payment details or other unnecessary sensitive information. The developer does not knowingly request personal information from children through support. Parents or guardians may request deletion of a child's support correspondence, subject to applicable retention obligations.
Websites and third-party services
Reading the policy inside the app works offline. Opening the developer website or a shared web link uses your browser and hosting provider, which may process IP addresses and request details under their own practices. Website activity is separate from offline gameplay. Google Play and Android may process information independently under their own policies. This app does not receive your Google account or payment information.
