Privacy Policy for Tile Crush

Application: Tile Crush (Package ID: com.vm.crush_tile)
Last Updated: October 21, 2026

Summary: Tile Crush is an offline-capable casual match-3 tile puzzle game. We do not collect names, passwords, emails, or phone numbers. Game progress is saved locally on your device. Third-party advertising is powered by Google AdMob, and in-app updates are delivered via Google Play Services.

1. Information We Collect

A. Local Device Game Progress

All your gameplay progression, including cleared puzzle stages (1–150), star ratings, high scores, coin balances, booster inventories, audio settings, and daily challenge records, are stored locally on your device using Android SharedPreferences. This information is private to your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

B. Automatically Collected Technical Data

To support free gameplay and deliver app updates, we integrate trusted third-party SDKs:

Google AdMob: Serves banner, interstitial, native, and opt-in rewarded video advertisements. AdMob may automatically collect non-personally identifiable diagnostic data, advertising IDs (GAID), device brand/model, OS version, coarse location, and ad performance metrics in compliance with Google Play Policies.
Google Play Services & In-App Updates: Checks the Google Play Store for new game versions and securely delivers updates to your device.

2. Advertising and Opt-Out

Our game displays ads via Google AdMob. Players have full control over their advertising preferences:

Opt-Out of Personalized Ads: On Android, open your device's Settings > Google > Ads and choose "Delete advertising ID" or "Opt out of personalized advertising". Ads will still show, but won't be tailored to your browsing profile.
Rewarded Video Ads: Watching rewarded video ads (for free revives or bonus coins) is 100% voluntary and only starts when you tap the reward button.

3. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR)

Tile Crush is intended for players of all ages. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 (or under 16 in the European Union). Our advertising parameters comply with Google Play Families and Child-Directed Treatment guidelines.

4. Permissions Used

The application requests only necessary permissions:

android.permission.INTERNET: To load ads and verify in-app updates from the Google Play Store.
android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: To detect offline status and prevent unnecessary network calls.
android.permission.VIBRATE: For tactile haptic vibration when clearing tiles (toggleable in Settings).
com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID: Standard Google Play Services ad identifier permission for Android 13+.

5. Security

We take reasonable technical precautions to safeguard any data transmitted through third-party services using standard HTTPS/TLS encryption.
