JigArena Privacy Policy
JigArena ("the game") is made by fakhrad.dev ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the game uses, why, and the choices you have. We keep it short and only collect what the game needs to work.
1. No account, no name
You do not create an account or give us your name, email, phone number or photos to play. When the game first opens it gets a random anonymous player ID from Google Firebase. That ID is not linked to who you are.
2. What we store
| Information | Why |
|---|---|
| Anonymous player ID | To keep your save in the cloud and recognise your device. |
| Game progress (level, clubs, coins, stars, hints, magnets, settings, items you own) | So you don't lose progress and can restore it. |
| Recovery code (8 characters) | So you can move your progress to a new phone. |
| Device type, operating system, app version, first and last time played | To fix bugs, support older devices and see whether the game works well. |
| Purchase records (which item, not payment details) | To give you what you bought and restore purchases. |
This information is stored in Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore) and on our own server. Your progress is also saved on your device.
3. Advertising
The free version shows ads through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address and information about how you interact with ads in order to show, measure and limit ads. Where the law requires it, you will be asked for consent first. You can reset or turn off your advertising ID in your phone's settings, and you can remove ads with the "No Ads" purchase. See how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
4. Purchases
In-app purchases are handled by Google Play or the Apple App Store. We never see or store your card or bank details.
5. Notifications
If you allow notifications, the game uses Firebase Cloud Messaging to send occasional reminders and news. You can turn them off at any time in the game's Settings ("Alerts") or in your phone's settings.
6. Game statistics
We may use Firebase Analytics to count anonymous game events (for example "puzzle finished" or "club completed") so we can improve the game. These events are tied to the anonymous ID, not to you.
7. Sharing
We do not sell your information. We share it only with the service providers listed above (Google Firebase, Google AdMob, Google Play / Apple) so the game can work, or when the law requires it.
8. How long we keep it
We keep your cloud save while you play. Saves that have not been used for 24 months may be deleted. Purchase records are kept as long as needed to restore your purchases and for legal reasons.
9. Your choices and deleting your data
- On your device: Settings → "Delete my data" erases your progress on the device.
- In the cloud: email [email protected] with your Player ID (shown in Settings) and we will delete your cloud save within 30 days.
- You can also ask us for a copy of your data, or to correct it, at the same address.
10. Children
JigArena is a family-friendly puzzle game. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The game asks for no names, contact details or photos. If you are a parent and believe your child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
11. Security
Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS) and access to our database is restricted. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.
12. Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top. Important changes will be announced in the game.
