Privacy Policy

App: PolyCraft · Last updated: 08.08.2026

This Privacy Policy describes how the app PolyCraft (the "App", "we") handles user information ("you"). By using the App, you agree to this Policy.

1. Who we are

Developer: Ruslan.Maiboroda
Contact email: r.maiboroda777@gmail.com

2. Data we do NOT collect

PolyCraft does not require registration, sign-in, or creating a profile. We do not collect your name, phone number, address, or any other direct personal identifiers.

3. Data stored locally on your device

To run, the App stores the following information locally on your device (this data is not sent to any of our servers, since the App has no backend of its own):

Game progress — completed levels, collected puzzles, coin balance, day streak, and settings (language, sound, vibration, etc.).
Photos you upload to create puzzles — when you pick a photo from your device's gallery for the "Create Puzzle" feature, a copy of that photo is saved to the App's private storage on your device. These photos are never uploaded to any external server and are only accessible to you within the App itself. You can delete any uploaded photo yourself (the delete button in the photo library) or remove all such data by uninstalling the App.

This data is automatically deleted when you uninstall the App. The "Reset progress" and "Reset achievements" buttons in Settings let you clear the corresponding data manually without uninstalling the App.

4. Permissions the App requests

Permission	Why it's needed
Photos/media access	So you can pick your own photo to create a puzzle from ("Create Puzzle" feature). The file is read only at the moment you select it and is then copied locally.
Vibration	Haptic feedback when a puzzle piece is placed correctly.
Internet access	Needed to show ads (see Section 5) and to process purchases through Google Play (Section 6).

5. Advertising

The App may display ads through Google AdMob (Google LLC). AdMob may collect the following data to serve and personalize ads:

Advertising ID of your device
General technical device data (model, OS version, language, approximate location based on IP)
Ad interaction data (views, clicks)

This data is processed by Google in accordance with their own privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy. You can limit ad personalization in your Android device settings (Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization).

The App offers a paid Premium option that removes ads entirely.

6. In-app purchases

Purchasing the Premium version is processed through Google Play Billing. We do not see or store your payment card details — all payments are handled directly by Google in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy and the Google Play Terms of Service.

7. Sharing data with third parties

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties, except for:

Google AdMob — to display ads (unless you use Premium)
Google Play Billing — to process purchases

Both services belong to Google LLC and are governed by Google's own privacy policies.

8. Children's privacy

The App is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13. We do not request or require personal data from any user.

Because of third-party services (AdMob, Section 5), it is technically impossible to fully guarantee that no user under 13 will ever use the App. However, the App has no backend servers and we do not hold any personal data ourselves — so there is nothing on our side to delete. If you believe a child has used the App:

All data stored on the device (progress, uploaded photos) is removed instantly by uninstalling the App — no request to us is needed for this.
Any advertising-related data (Section 5) is collected and controlled by Google, not by us. Manage or request removal of this data directly through Google's own controls: myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy.

9. Data security

Since the App's core data is stored locally on your device rather than on our servers, the risk of unauthorized access is limited to the security of the device itself.

10. Your rights

You may, at any time:

View what data the App stores — all of it is visible directly in the interface (Profile, Settings).
Delete specific data — the "Reset progress" / "Reset achievements" buttons in Settings, or removing individual photos in the library.
Delete all data at once — by uninstalling the App from your device.
Limit ad personalization — via your Android device settings (see Section 5).

If you live in the EU/EEA, the UK, California, or another jurisdiction with its own data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.): since the App has no backend servers and stores no personal data outside your own device, the rights these laws grant (access, correction, deletion, portability) are already fully available to you directly, as listed above — there is no separate request process to go through, because there is no server-side record to look up. For anything related to AdMob's advertising data specifically, use Google's own controls (Section 5/8).

11. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date of the last update is always shown at the top of this page. Material changes will be reflected in the App's update notes on Google Play.
