DropWord Puzzles ("the app") is developed and published by James Border ("I", "me"). This policy explains what data is collected, how it is used, and your choices.
I do not operate any servers or databases. I do not collect your name, email address, or any account information. All game data (scores, statistics, settings) is stored locally on your device only.
The app displays ads served by Google AdMob. AdMob may collect and use your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) to serve personalized ads. Before doing so, the app will ask for your permission using Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you decline, non-personalized ads will be shown instead.
Google's use of your data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time in your device settings under Privacy & Security → Tracking.
If you purchase the "Remove Ads" option (see below), AdMob is disabled entirely and no advertising data is collected.
The app offers a one-time non-consumable in-app purchase to remove ads permanently. This purchase is processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. I do not receive or store any payment or financial information. Apple's handling of purchase data is governed by the Apple Privacy Policy.
The app integrates with Apple Game Center for leaderboards. If you use Game Center, Apple handles your Game Center profile data. I do not receive or store any Game Center data on external servers. Apple's handling of Game Center data is governed by the Apple Privacy Policy.
The app stores the following data locally on your device only. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to me:
The app is not directed at children under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
If this policy changes materially, I will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
