1. Basic Policy
SakuraChess (the “App”) respects the privacy of its users. The App does not require account registration and does not transmit personal information or gameplay data to servers operated by the developer.
2. Information We Collect
The App and its developer do not collect names, email addresses, contacts, answer history, or other information on servers operated by the developer. The App uses Google AdMob to deliver optional rewarded ads. When an ad is loaded or shown, Google and its advertising partners may process approximate location inferred from an IP address, device or advertising identifiers, ad impressions and interactions, and diagnostic information. The App requests non-personalized ads. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for details.
The iOS App uses Firebase Analytics to understand usage and improve quality. Usage events such as app launches, engagement and purchases, an app-instance identifier, device, OS and app-version information, and approximate location may be sent to Google, and the developer can view aggregated results. Analytics collection of advertising identifiers (IDFA) and vendor identifiers (IDFV), and signals for ad personalization, are disabled. No custom events transmit answer history or tactics ratings.
3. Information Stored on Your Device
The App stores the following information locally on your device:
- Tactics rating, answer history, consecutive learning days, and the number of puzzles attempted that day
- Hint tickets, selected character, and character unlock status
- Settings for background music, sound effects, character voices, and related options
- Status used to reflect purchased plans within the App
- The day's rewarded-ad view count and additional puzzle allowance
This information is used only to provide the App's features and is not transmitted to the developer's servers. In general, locally stored data is deleted when you delete the App.
4. In-App Purchases
In-app purchases are processed through Apple's StoreKit and the App Store. The developer does not receive payment information such as credit card numbers. Apple's services and privacy policy apply to purchase history and purchase restoration.
5. Advertising
After reaching the daily puzzle limit, Free and Standard users may choose to view a rewarded ad. Declining an ad does not remove features that were already available. Ads are delivered through Google AdMob and are subject to Google's Privacy Policy and consent requirements applicable to the user's region.
6. Network Communications
The App's puzzle data and primary assets are bundled with the App. Network communication with Google, Apple, or linked third-party services may occur for usage analytics, when an ad is loaded or shown, when you make or restore a purchase, use features provided by the App Store, or open an external link.
7. Children's Privacy
The App does not ask users to enter names or contact details. Advertising requests use the general-audience maximum content rating and request non-personalized ads.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may revise this policy when the App's features or services change. We will provide notice of material changes on this page or within the App.
