Our other websites, games and apps and any such other third parties, including Apple Arcade, may have their own privacy policies and terms of use, which we encourage you to read before providing information on or through them.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not use this Game. By using and playing this Game, you agree to this privacy policy. This policy may change from time to time (see Changes to Our Privacy Policy).


Information We Collect

We collect a limited amount of information from users of our Game and/or relating to the performance of our Game, solely to support the operations of the Game. This includes Game save data, which is saved automatically while you play the game and sent directly to Apple Arcade. We also collect your Gamecenter username and score if you choose to play the daily puzzles in the Game.

We do not collect any personally identifiable information from you when you play the Game. If you contact us, for example by emailing us, or otherwise corresponding directly with Company, we will collect the information that you have voluntarily submitted in your correspondence. This may include your name, contact information, and other information you provide.


Apple Arcade Automatic Collection

When you use and/or save your progress in the Game, the Game collects and sends non-identifiable information to Apple Arcade and its other services, such as iCloud and Game Center, in order for Apple Arcade to use such data for, but not limited to, saving your game, tracking your achievements, determining your status on leaderboards and/or play against other users. This may use technology to automatically save, collect and transfer your data that you have provided directly to Apple Arcade. All uses of Apple Arcade are subject to Apple Arcade’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of Apple Arcade or its third parties partners, even if the Game appears within and/or is accessible through Apple Arcade. You may decline to store data in the Apple Arcade and the iCloud or to send data to Game Center. To turn off iCloud data storage, you must turn off iCloud in Apple Settings for our Game. As a result, you will only be able to play in single player offline mode. To stop sending data to Game Center, you must sign out of Game Center in Apple Settings. As a result, you will not appear on leaderboards.


Information We Store

We do not store any gameplay data on any of our servers during or after you play the Games non-daily modes. All non-daily data (other than anonymous or aggregate Game performance data that we may receive) is transferred directly to Apple Arcade and used on Apple Arcade’s services.

If you do not want us to collect this information, do not use the Game.

Daily data (your Gamecenter username and score) is stored on our Amazon AWS servers for a period of 2 weeks and then deleted.

If you do not want us to collect this information, do not play Daily modes within the Game.

If you correspond directly with Company, Company will retain information that specifically identifies you for as long as needed to provide you with the services you requested and for a reasonable time thereafter in accordance with our standard procedures or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements.

If you do not want us to collect this information, do not send any correspondence to Company.
