Slidaroo Picture Sliding Puzzle Privacy Policy

Everything in Slidaroo works without signing in. Your level results, settings and free-play scores are stored on your phone. Photos you turn into puzzles are saved as images in the app's private storage on your phone and are never uploaded.

Signing in is optional. It keeps your progress in sync across phones and lets you appear on the leaderboards. When you sign in, we store:

• From Google: your Google account ID, so we can recognise you, and the address of your Google profile photo. We check that your email address is verified but do not store it.
• Your profile: your nickname (by default your first name, which you can change), the avatar and frame you pick, and whether to show your Google photo.
• Your game results: stars and best move counts per level, Daily puzzle results (move count and time), your streak and your total stars. The moves you make in a Daily are sent so the server can check the solve, but they aren't kept.

Other players see your nickname, avatar, frame and results on the leaderboards. Your Google photo is shown only if you turn that on.

This data is stored on our server, which runs on Vercel with a MongoDB Atlas database, and is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS).

The free version shows ads from Google AdMob: an optional video you can watch to earn a hint, and an occasional full-screen ad between levels. To show and measure ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect your device's advertising ID, your IP address (which gives an approximate location), information about your device and app, and how you interact with ads.

• In the European Economic Area, the UK and other places where the law requires it, you are asked for consent before personalised ads are shown. You can change your choice at any time under Settings → Ad privacy choices.
• You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads, or Google → Ads, depending on your phone).
• Premium removes the full-screen ads between levels.

See how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

Slidaroo Premium is a one-time purchase through Google Play. Google Play handles the payment; we never see your card or payment details. We use RevenueCat to confirm purchases and restore them on your other phones. RevenueCat receives a random ID (or your Slidaroo account ID if you are signed in), the purchase details from Google Play, and basic device information. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.

• Internet, for sign-in, syncing, the Daily puzzle, leaderboards, ads and purchases. Levels and free play work offline.
• Vibration, for the tile haptics, which you can turn off in Settings.
• Advertising ID and Google Play billing, used by the ads and purchases described above.
• Photos come through Android's photo picker and photos you take through your camera app, so Slidaroo needs no storage or camera permission. It does not request location, microphone or contacts access.

• Google, for sign-in, ads (AdMob) and payments (Google Play).
• RevenueCat, to confirm and restore purchases.
• Vercel and MongoDB, which host our server and database.
• Other players, who see what's on the leaderboards.

We don't sell or rent your personal data, and we don't share it for anyone else's marketing.

• Your account: in the app, open your account and tap Delete my account. This permanently removes your profile, synced progress, Daily results and leaderboard entries from our server.
• Can't open the app? Email stackbits.in@gmail.com from the Google account you signed in with, and we'll delete your account within 30 days.
• On your phone: uninstalling Slidaroo, or clearing its storage in Android's settings, deletes your local progress, settings and photo puzzles.
• Records of purchases are kept by Google Play and RevenueCat as needed for accounting and to restore your purchase.

Account data is kept for as long as your account exists, and deleted when you delete your account. Data on your phone stays until you uninstall the app or clear its storage.

Slidaroo is made for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has signed in, email us and we'll delete the account.

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
