Privacy Policy – Puzzle Near To God

Effective date: October 7, 2026 App: Puzzle Near To God (Android package: com.paulstudio007.puzzleneartogod) Developer: Paul Studio ("we", "us", "our") Contact: dev.paulstudio@gmail.com

1. Introduction

Puzzle Near To God is a sliding-puzzle game featuring devotional and temple imagery. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app collects, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using the app, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information stored on your device only

The app saves your game progress locally on your device: coins, player level, unlocked puzzles, daily-bonus date and streak, and music/sound settings. This data stays on your device unless you sign in (see 2.2).

2.2 Account and sign-in information

  • Guest play. When the app starts, it signs you in anonymously using Firebase Authentication. This creates a random anonymous user ID. Guests' progress is not uploaded to our cloud database.
  • Optional Google Play Games sign-in. If you choose to sign in, we receive information from Google Play Games and Firebase Authentication such as your Play Games player ID, display name, and profile photo. We use the display name and photo only to show your profile inside the app.
  • Cloud save (signed-in players only). We store your coins, player level, and unlocked puzzles in Cloud Firestore, linked to your user ID, so your progress can be restored on another device or after reinstalling.

Signing in is optional. You can skip it and still play the whole game.

2.3 Usage and analytics data

We use Firebase Analytics (Google) to understand how the app is used and to improve it. Events we record include: app opens, your sign-in choice (e.g. signed in or skipped), puzzles solved (puzzle number and moves used), level-ups, coin totals, wallpapers set, and daily bonuses claimed. Firebase Analytics may also automatically collect device and app information such as device model, operating system version, app version, language, approximate location derived from IP address, and an app-instance identifier. Firebase and our other service providers may also collect crash logs and performance diagnostics (such as crash reports and app performance data) to help us find and fix problems.

2.4 Advertising data

The app shows rewarded and interstitial video ads through Unity LevelPlay, which mediates ad networks including Google AdMob and Meta Audience Network. These providers may collect and use your device advertising ID (Google Advertising ID), IP address, device and network information, and ad interaction data to deliver, measure, and limit the frequency of ads, to prevent fraud, and, where permitted, to personalize ads. We do not receive your personal information from these providers beyond aggregated reporting such as ad revenue and performance.

2.5 Special-event content

The app may download special-occasion puzzle images from Firebase (Firestore and Firebase Storage). Downloading this content involves standard technical data such as your IP address.

2.6 Information we do not collect

We do not collect your precise location, contacts, photos or files from your device, microphone or camera data, phone number, or payment information. Although the app's imagery is religious in nature, we do not collect, record, or infer your religious beliefs.

3. Permissions and Device Features

  • Notifications. The app may schedule a local reminder notification that invites you to come back and play. It is generated on your device. On Android 13 and later, the app asks for your permission first; you can turn notifications off at any time in your device settings.
  • Set wallpaper. If you choose to set a solved puzzle image as your wallpaper, the app uses Android's wallpaper permission. The image is processed on your device and is not uploaded.
  • Internet access. Required for sign-in, cloud save, analytics, special events, and ads.

4. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

  • Provide and operate the game, including saving and restoring your progress;
  • Show your profile name and photo if you sign in;
  • Deliver the daily bonus, rewards, and special events;
  • Show ads and let you earn coins by watching rewarded ads;
  • Analyze usage, fix bugs, and improve gameplay;
  • Protect against fraud and abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information.

5. Third-Party Services

These services process data under their own privacy policies:

  • Google Firebase (Authentication, Firestore, Analytics, Storage): https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
  • Google Play Games Services: https://policies.google.com/privacy
  • Unity LevelPlay: https://unity.com/legal/privacy-policy
  • Google AdMob: https://policies.google.com/privacy
  • Meta Audience Network: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy

We share data with these providers only as needed to operate the features described in this policy. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

6. Your Choices and Controls

  • Ads personalization. You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of ads personalization in your Android settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads).
  • Analytics. You can limit analytics by resetting your advertising ID and by uninstalling the app.
  • Sign-in. You can use the app as a guest, or sign out of your Play Games account from within the app.
  • Notifications and wallpaper. Manage or revoke these permissions in your device settings.
  • Delete your data. Tap the Delete Data button in the app's Settings. It opens a request form; once you submit it, we delete your data from our cloud (Firebase). Uninstalling the app removes progress stored on your device.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

Local game data remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall the app. Cloud-saved data (coins, level, unlocked puzzles) and your account identifier are kept while your account is active. To request deletion of your cloud-saved data and associated account information, tap the Delete Data button in the app's Settings. It opens a Google Form; fill it in and submit it, including the details it asks for (such as your Play Games display name) so we can find your data. We will delete your data from our cloud (Firebase) within 30 days of receiving your request, except where we must keep it to meet legal obligations. The form is hosted by Google and subject to Google's privacy policy, and we use what you submit only to identify and delete your data. You can also email us at [your-email@example.com]. Analytics and advertising data held by Google, Unity, and ad partners are retained according to their own policies.

8. Data Security

Data is transmitted using encryption (HTTPS/TLS) and stored with Google Firebase, which applies industry-standard security measures. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

Puzzle Near To God is a general-audience game and is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us information, contact us at [your-email@example.com] and we will delete it.

10. International Users

We and our service providers may process and store information in countries other than your own, including the United States, where data protection laws may differ. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

11. Your Rights

Depending on where you live (for example, the EEA, UK, or certain U.S. states), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. To exercise these rights, use the Delete Data form in the app's Settings (for deletion requests) or contact us at [your-email@example.com].

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version in the app or on our website and change the effective date above. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.

13. Contact Us
