Privacy Policy for Zip Connect: Grid Logic Puzzle

Effective Date: September 18, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Zip Connect: Grid Logic Puzzle ("we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and process data when you install, play, or make purchases within our mobile game.

2. Information Collection and Usage

We do NOT collect personally identifiable information such as your name, physical address, direct email address, or phone number. However, to provide free gameplay, support in-app purchases, display ads, and improve performance, our app utilizes third-party SDKs that automatically process device and transactional data.

The data collected includes:

• In-App Purchase & Transaction Data: Purchase histories, product IDs, purchase tokens, and entitlement status processed via Google Play Billing. We do NOT receive or store your credit card, debit card, or banking details—all payment processing is handled securely directly by Google Play.
• Device Identifiers: Mobile Advertising ID (such as Google Advertising ID / AAID) and standard system info (device model, operating system version, system language).
• Usage & Analytics Data: Gameplay sessions, level completion rates, feature usage, error logs, and performance metrics.
• Coarse Location & IP Address: Non-precise, general location information derived from your IP address for ad localization and fraud prevention.

3. In-App Purchases (Google Play Billing)

Our app offers optional digital items, hints, or virtual content for purchase.

• All financial transactions are processed by the Google Play Billing System.
• Google handles all sensitive payment information in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.
• We only receive confirmation of transaction completion to unlock your purchased digital content inside the game.

4. Advertising (Google AdMob)

We use Google AdMob to display banner, interstitial, or rewarded video ads.

• Ad Personalization: AdMob may use device advertising identifiers and cookies/similar technologies to serve personalized ads based on your interests and activity across apps.
• Non-Personalized Ads: If you opt out of targeted advertising, AdMob will serve contextual, non-personalized ads instead.

5. Third-Party Analytics (Google Analytics for Firebase)

We use Google Analytics for Firebase to analyze user interaction, measure puzzle engagement, track crashes, and optimize game features.

• Google Privacy & Terms
• Google Play Payments Policy & Privacy

• Privacy and Security in Firebase

6. Game Progress & Local Data

Your level progress, high scores, purchased entitlements, and audio/visual preferences are saved locally on your device or linked securely through Google Play Games services.

7. User Choices, Opt-Outs & Data Control

You have full control over interest-based advertising and purchases:

• Android Device Settings: You can reset or opt out of personalized ads at any time on your Android device via Settings > Privacy > Ads.
• Managing Purchases: You can manage or restrict in-app purchases using Google Play Store's authentication settings (Play Store > Settings > Authentication > Require authentication for purchases).

8. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Our game is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal data or serve personalized ads to children under the age of 13 (or 16 in applicable jurisdictions). In-app purchases require account holder authentication through the Google Play Store.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in app features, legal requirements, or Google Play Developer Policies. Any changes will be published on this page with an updated "Effective Date".
