Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to Chilluzzle! We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you play our puzzle game.

Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide you with the best gaming experience:

• Device Identifier: A unique identifier for your device to save your progress and scores.
• Player Name: The display name you choose for the leaderboard (optional).
• Avatar: A custom avatar image you may upload (optional). When uploading, you may choose to take a photo using your device's camera, which requires camera access permission.
• Game Statistics: Your highest score, total games played, and lines cleared.

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To save your game progress across sessions
• To display your ranking on the global leaderboard
• To sync your data between devices (if applicable)
• To improve the game experience based on gameplay statistics

Data Storage and Security

Your data is securely stored on our servers with industry-standard encryption (AES-256-CBC). All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted to protect your information. We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third parties.

Device Permissions

Our app may request the following device permissions:

• Camera (Optional): If you choose to upload an avatar by taking a photo, the app will request camera access. This permission is only used to capture a profile picture and is not used for any other purpose. You can always upload an existing image from your device instead.
• Storage/Photos (Optional): To select an existing image as your avatar from your device's photo library.

These permissions are entirely optional and only requested when you initiate the avatar upload feature. You can use all core game features without granting these permissions.

Offline Play

Chilluzzle supports offline gameplay. Your game data is stored locally on your device and synced to our servers when you have an internet connection. This ensures you never lose your progress.

Children's Privacy

Our game is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 beyond what is necessary for gameplay (device identifier and optional display name). We do not require any account registration or email addresses.

Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your data:

• Request access to your personal data
• Request deletion of your data from our servers
• Opt out of the leaderboard by not providing a display name

Third-Party Services

We do not use third-party analytics, advertising networks, or tracking services. The only external services we use are the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for app distribution, which have their own privacy policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
