TrackTales Privacy Policy

Operator and contact

TrackTales is operated by onegeng, an individual developer. For privacy questions or requests, contact coderonegeng@gmail.com.

Information we use

Level progress, hints, daily check-ins, settings, and the on-device leaderboard state are saved on your device so you can continue playing. This version does not require an account or request access to contacts, photos, or precise location.

We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand app use and improve the game experience. It may automatically collect an app-instance identifier, device and app information, usage events, and an approximate region derived from network information. We also send events such as screen views, button actions, level results, and hint use. We do not send your name or email address as event parameters. Google processes this analytics data; see https://policies.google.com/privacy. The app does not request your precise location.

Privacy policy website

This page is hosted with Firebase Hosting. When you visit it, Google processes technical request data, such as your IP address, to deliver the page. The page itself does not use analytics scripts or set cookies.

Notifications and commercial features

Reminders use local device notifications, which you can disable in system settings. The app is free to use and has no in-app purchases. Version 1.0 has no ads.

Optional rewarded ads (from version 1.1.0)

Version 1.1.0 introduces optional Google AdMob ads that you can choose to watch for a hint or revive. Core puzzles can still be played offline; loading ads requires an internet connection. The Google Mobile Ads SDK may process your IP address and approximate region, app or device identifiers, advertising interactions, crash reports, and performance information to provide, measure, and improve ads. Identifier use and ad personalization depend on your device permissions and applicable privacy choices. Google processes this data; see https://policies.google.com/privacy. Where required, you can change your advertising privacy choices in the app settings. Choosing not to watch an ad does not award the associated item.

Retention and choices

Local game data normally remains until you clear app data or uninstall the app. Firebase analytics data is retained under that service's and our project settings. Email us to ask about your data, request deletion, or report a privacy concern; we will respond within the data we can identify and control. Uninstalling the app does not automatically remove analytics records already sent to Firebase.

Changes

If our data practices materially change, we will update this policy and its date and provide notice where required.
