Data We Collect

When you choose to sign in, we collect your email address to create your account and send a one-time verification code. Sign-in is optional — you can play all free content without an account.

If you make a purchase, we record your email address, the product purchased, and the transaction reference in order to grant and restore your purchases.

We do not collect your name, phone number, location, or any other personal information.

Data Stored on Your Device

Your game progress (scores, streaks, completed puzzles) and hint balance are saved locally on your device. This data is also backed up to our server when you are signed in, so it can be restored if you reinstall the app.

Third-Party Services

Paychangu — used to process mobile money payments on Android (Airtel Money, TNM Mpamba). Paychangu receives your email address and payment details when you make a purchase. See Paychangu's Privacy Policy.

Apple — used to process in-app purchases on iOS. See Apple's Privacy Policy.

We do not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

Data Retention

Your account and purchase records are kept for as long as your account exists. You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

Children

We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. The app's optional sign-in and purchase features are intended for users who are old enough to make their own decisions.
