Privacy Policy

This policy applies to the Duck Escape: Logic Puzzle app for Android and iOS (app ID com.sultonuzdev.aep), published by Sulton UzDev ("we", "us"). The app was previously called "Arrow Escape: Simple Puzzle".

1. Information we do not collect

We do not ask for or collect:

• Your name, email address, phone number or contacts
• User accounts, logins or passwords
• Precise location (GPS), photos, camera, microphone or files
• Payment information (the app has no in-app purchases)

2. Information stored on your device

To keep your game going, the app saves on your device:

• Level progress, stars, hearts and hints
• Statistics (levels cleared, ducks rescued, streaks, play time, daily and weekly challenge results)
• Settings (sound, theme, duck colours) and which tutorials you have seen

This data is not sent to us. On Android, if you have turned on device backup in your Google account, Android may include it in your device backup; that backup is managed by Google under your account settings.

3. Information collected by third-party services

The app uses the following Google services. They collect information automatically when the app is used and process it under Google's own privacy policy.

Google AdMob (advertising)

The app shows a banner on the home screen, full-screen ads between some levels, and optional reward videos (for extra hints or hearts). To show and measure ads, and to prevent fraud, AdMob may collect:

• Device identifiers, such as the Android advertising ID
• IP address and approximate location derived from it
• Device and app information (model, operating system, language, app version)
• Ad interactions (ads shown, tapped or watched)

Whether ads are personalised depends on your consent choice (see section 4) and your device settings. On iOS, the app does not ask for permission to track you, so the iOS advertising identifier (IDFA) is not used for tracking.

Google Analytics for Firebase (usage statistics)

We use Firebase Analytics to understand how the game is played and to fix problems, for example which levels are too hard. It may collect:

• An app instance ID and, on Android, the advertising ID
• Device and app information and approximate country or region
• Game events: levels started, completed or failed; hints used; ad offers accepted; tutorials finished; settings changed; screens viewed
• Short technical error messages when something goes wrong in the app

This data is not linked to your name or any personal account, and we only see it in aggregate reports.

Learn more about how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

4. Consent and your choices

• Consent form: where the law requires it (for example in the EU, the UK and Switzerland), the app shows Google's consent form before any ad is requested. Your answer also decides whether Firebase Analytics may store analytics data.
• Change your choice: where required, open Settings → Privacy choices in the app at any time.
• Android: you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in your device settings (Settings → Google → Ads, or Settings → Privacy → Ads).
• iOS: you can turn off personalised ads in Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising.
• If you do not give consent, the game still works fully.

5. Permissions

The app uses the Internet permission only to load ads and send usage statistics. Google's ads library also adds the standard advertising ID permission on Android. The game itself works offline; ads and statistics are simply not loaded then.

6. Sharing

• We do not sell your personal information and do not share it with anyone other than the service providers listed above.
• When you tap Share result, your device's share menu opens with a short text (for example your daily challenge time). You choose where to send it; the app does not see or store it.
• When the app asks you to rate it, the review window is shown by Google Play or the App Store; we do not receive your account details.

7. Data retention and deletion

• On your device: use Settings → Reset progress in the app, or uninstall the app, to delete your saved game data.
• Analytics: data is kept only for a limited time under Google Analytics' data-retention settings, then deleted automatically. Uninstalling the app resets its app instance ID.
• Advertising: data collected by AdMob is kept according to Google's policies; you can manage it through your Google account and device settings.
• You can also email us to ask for data related to you to be deleted (see Contact).

8. Security

Data sent by the Google services is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Data stored on your device is protected by your device's own security.

9. Children's privacy

Duck Escape is a puzzle game suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information such as names or contact details from children. The third-party services above collect the device data described in section 3. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will help remove it.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU/UK or privacy laws in US states such as California), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent. Because we do not hold your name or account, most requests are handled through the in-app privacy choices, your device settings and your Google account. For anything else, contact us.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the app changes. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the latest version. Important changes will also be noted in the app's store listing.
