Developer/Publisher: Bad Apps Studio
Effective date: March 6, 2026
Last updated: March 6, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Soccer Sudoku ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the app on web, Android, and iOS.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following categories:
| Category | Examples | How it is collected |
|---|---|---|
| Gameplay and app preferences | Difficulty, XP, level, wins/losses, coins, hints/saves, audio level, streak stats, ad cooldown counters | Saved on your device using local storage (keys such as soccerSudokuStats, soccerSudokuXP, soccerSudokuDifficulty, soccerSudokuAdData) |
| Usage and diagnostics | App launch, game start/finish/fail, rewarded-ad events, screen views, approximate device/platform signals | Collected by analytics tooling integrated in the app (Google Analytics 4/Firebase Analytics setup) |
| Advertising-related data | Ad interactions, device advertising identifiers, ad performance and anti-fraud signals | Processed by AdMob SDK and Google advertising services when rewarded ads are requested/displayed |
| Support communications | Email messages or store reviews you send to us | Provided directly by you |
We do not require you to create an account and we do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data through in-app forms.
2. How We Use Information
- Provide and operate gameplay features, including progression, statistics, and rewarded mechanics.
- Save your game state and preferences on your device.
- Measure app performance, stability, and feature usage.
- Serve and measure rewarded advertising.
- Detect abuse, fraud, or technical misuse.
- Respond to user support and legal/compliance requests.
3. Advertising and Analytics Partners
The app uses third-party SDKs/services that may collect information under their own privacy policies:
- Google Analytics / Firebase Analytics: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Google AdMob: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543
On iOS, the app may request tracking authorization (ATT) before using certain ad-tracking capabilities.
4. Legal Bases (EEA/UK Users)
Where applicable, we process data based on one or more of these legal bases:
- Performance of contract: to provide the game features you request.
- Legitimate interests: app security, diagnostics, and service improvement.
- Consent: where required by law (for example, certain analytics/ads tracking contexts).
- Legal obligations: compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
5. Data Sharing
We may share data with:
- Service providers that help us deliver analytics and advertising functionality.
- Authorities or regulators when required by law.
- A successor entity in case of merger, acquisition, or asset transfer.
We do not sell your personal information for direct cash consideration.
6. Retention
- Local gameplay data remains on your device until you clear app/browser data or uninstall the app.
- Analytics and advertising data retention is governed by the respective third-party providers' settings and policies.
- Support messages are retained as reasonably necessary to handle your request and legal obligations.
7. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards. However, no internet or device storage method is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Choices and Rights
- You can reset or delete local app data by clearing app data/storage or uninstalling the app.
- You can manage ad personalization and advertising ID settings from your device settings.
- You can limit analytics/ads via platform privacy controls where available.
- If local law grants rights (access, deletion, correction, objection), you may contact us to request support.
9. Children's Privacy
Soccer Sudoku is a general-audience game and is not intentionally directed to children under 13 without parental/guardian involvement. If you believe a child provided personal information improperly, contact us and we will review and take appropriate action.
10. International Transfers
Because we use global service providers (such as Google), information may be processed in countries other than your own. We rely on provider safeguards and applicable legal mechanisms where required.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date and, when appropriate, by additional notice in app or on store listing.
