🍬 Sweet Candy Puzzle 🍭

Sweet Candy Puzzle is a delightful match‑3 casual game where you swap colorful candies and complete sweet challenges. We respect your privacy and believe in complete transparency. This policy explains what data our game collects, why we need it, and how we protect your information — because your trust is our most valuable ingredient.

We keep data minimal to ensure a sweet experience. The information we may collect includes:

• 🍭 Device & technical info — model, OS version, language, country, and advertising identifier (AAID / IDFA). This helps us optimise performance and prevent crashes.
• 🍬 Game activity & progress — level reached, stars collected, number of moves, in-game settings (sound, vibration). This data is stored locally and optionally via cloud backup if you log in.
• 🍫 Ad interaction data — we serve ads through AdMob; the ad platform may use device identifiers to show relevant (or non-personalized) ads.
• 🍪 In-app purchases — if you buy boosters, lives or remove ads, Google Play processes the transaction. We never see your payment details.

We never ask for real names, addresses, contacts, or media files beyond what's described.

Your information is used exclusively to:

• Deliver and improve gameplay: save level progress, highscores, and preferences.
• Analyze game performance & crash fixes: using Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics to make Sweet Candy Puzzle smoother.
• Display advertisements (including rewarded videos for extra lives): through Google AdMob.
• Validate purchases: to grant virtual items (boosters, extra moves).

Our game integrates trusted partners to provide core features:

• Google AdMob – Advertising. AdMob may collect device data, IP address, and approximate location (based on IP). You can reset your advertising ID or limit ad personalisation in Android settings.
• Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics – Performance analysis and crash reporting. All data is anonymized and used only to improve game stability.
• Google Play Billing – Smooth, secure in-app purchases.

Each provider complies with GDPR / CCPA and offers transparent privacy policies. Learn more about Google's privacy.

Your game progress is stored locally on your device and remains until you uninstall the app or clear app data. No mandatory account is required. If you connect via Google Play Games, data is handled under Google’s policies.

To request deletion of any analytics data linked to your advertising ID, contact us at nadeemgamer180@gmail.com. We'll honor all requests within 30 days.

We respect your advertising preferences:

• On Android, go to Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization to disable interest‑based ads.
• For children under the applicable age threshold, we do not show personalized ads. In COPPA‑directed mode, only contextual (non‑personalized) ads appear.
• You may still see rewarded video ads (voluntary) to earn in‑game bonuses: those ads are initiated by you and are optional.

Sweet Candy Puzzle is intended for general audiences, including children, but we never knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in EEA countries).

• We do not require any personal data (name/email) to play.
• If a child is identified by the Play Store as under the age of consent, personalized ads and certain analytics features are disabled automatically.
• Parents/guardians: if you believe your child has inadvertently provided personal data (e.g., email via customer support), contact us immediately at nadeemgamer180@gmail.com – we will delete that info promptly.

We implement industry-standard security measures: encrypted data transmission (TLS), restricted access to internal systems, and Firebase security rules that limit data exposure. While no network is 100% invulnerable, we continually update our practices to safeguard your information.

Depending on your region (EEA, UK, California, Brazil, India), you may have the right to:

• Access the information we have related to your gameplay.
• Request correction or deletion of your data.
• Opt out of “sale” of personal data (we don’t sell).
• Withdraw consent for analytics (reset advertising ID).

To exercise any right, email nadeemgamer180@gmail.com with the subject “Privacy Request – Sweet Candy Puzzle”. We’ll respond without undue delay.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are significant, we’ll notify you via an in‑game notice or by updating the “effective date” at the top of this page. Your continued play after the update means you accept the revised policy.
