This Privacy Policy explains how AstroByte (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you use Piggy Sudoku (package name com.astrobyte.piggysudoku), our website, and related support services.
1. Information handled by Piggy Sudoku
Information stored locally
The game stores puzzle progress, unlocked content, daily challenge status, tutorial status, audio preferences, vibration preferences, and similar settings locally on your device. We do not receive this local game data through our own servers. You can clear it from the in-game settings where available, by clearing the app's storage, or by uninstalling the app.
Information you provide
If you email us for support, we receive your email address and any information you include in your message, such as device details, screenshots, or problem descriptions. We use this information only to answer your request, maintain support records, prevent abuse, and comply with law.
Advertising and automatically processed information
Piggy Sudoku uses Google AdMob and the Google Mobile Ads SDK. Depending on your device, region, consent choices, and Google settings, Google and its advertising partners may automatically collect, use, and share:
- IP address, which may be used to estimate general location;
- device and account identifiers, including the Android Advertising ID and App Set ID where available;
- app interactions, including app launches, taps, ad impressions, ad clicks, and video views;
- diagnostic and performance information, such as crash-related data, launch time, hang rate, and energy usage;
- device, operating system, language, app version, and network information.
This information may be used for advertising, ad delivery and measurement, analytics, fraud prevention, security, and legal compliance. Ad availability and personalization vary according to your region and choices.
2. Rewarded advertisements
The game may offer optional rewarded advertisements. Choosing to watch a rewarded ad can grant an in-game benefit after the ad provider confirms completion. You can continue using the core game without clicking a rewarded-ad offer, although the relevant optional reward will not be granted.
3. Consent and advertising choices
Where required, we use Google's User Messaging Platform to request consent before advertising data is processed. Users in applicable regions may receive personalized ads, non-personalized ads, limited ads, or technical ad delivery depending on their choices and applicable law.
When required, you can review or withdraw your consent using the privacy options entry point in the game's settings. You can also reset or delete your Android Advertising ID or limit ad personalization through your device's privacy settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
4. Purposes and legal bases
We and our service providers process information as necessary to operate and support the game, provide requested support, serve and measure advertising, protect against fraud and abuse, comply with legal obligations, and pursue legitimate interests such as maintaining app security. Where consent is legally required, processing relies on your consent.
5. Sharing and service providers
We do not sell personal information for money. Information may be processed by Google and advertising partners involved in delivering and measuring ads. Their use of information is governed by their own terms and privacy policies:
- Google Privacy Policy
- How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services
- AdMob privacy information
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a business transaction subject to appropriate safeguards.
6. Retention and security
Local game data remains on your device until you reset it, clear app storage, or uninstall the app. Support emails are retained only as long as reasonably necessary to resolve requests, maintain records, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations. Advertising providers determine their own retention periods.
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Children's privacy
Piggy Sudoku is a general-audience puzzle game and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information directly from children. We do not provide account registration, public chat, or user-generated content. Advertising settings, including treatment for users under the applicable age of consent, are configured in accordance with platform requirements and applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us through support, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
8. International processing
Google and other providers may process information in countries other than where you live. Where required, they use recognized legal mechanisms and safeguards for international data transfers. See their privacy documentation for details.
9. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent, and to appeal or lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. Because we do not operate user accounts and local progress does not leave your device through our own servers, we may not possess data that can be linked to you. For support email data, send a request using the contact information below. For information controlled by Google, use Google's privacy controls or contact Google directly.
See our Data Request page for instructions.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the game, providers, or legal requirements change. We will post the revised policy here and update the “Last updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated in the app where appropriate.

本隐私政策说明 AstroByte（下称“我们”）在您使用猪多酷数独（Piggy Sudoku）（包名：com.astrobyte.piggysudoku）、本网站及相关支持服务时如何处理信息。
1. 猪多酷数独处理的信息
保存在本地的信息
游戏会在您的设备本地保存关卡进度、已解锁内容、每日挑战状态、教程状态、音效偏好、振动偏好及类似设置。我们不会通过自有服务器接收这些本地游戏数据。您可以通过游戏内设置（如提供）、清除应用存储或卸载应用删除这些数据。
您主动提供的信息
如果您通过电子邮件联系我们寻求支持，我们会收到您的邮箱地址及邮件中主动提供的信息，例如设备信息、截图和问题描述。我们仅使用这些信息处理请求、保留必要的支持记录、防止滥用及履行法律义务。
广告及自动处理的信息
猪多酷数独使用 Google AdMob 和 Google Mobile Ads SDK。根据您的设备、所在地区、同意选择及 Google 设置，Google 及其广告合作伙伴可能自动收集、使用和分享：
- IP 地址，可能用于推断大致位置；
- 设备及账号标识符，包括可用时的 Android 广告 ID 和 App Set ID；
- 应用互动数据，包括应用启动、点击、广告展示、广告点击和视频观看；
- 诊断及性能信息，例如崩溃相关数据、启动时间、卡顿率和能耗；
- 设备、操作系统、语言、应用版本及网络信息。
上述信息可能用于广告投放与衡量、分析、反欺诈、安全和法律合规。广告是否可用及是否个性化，取决于您所在地区和您的选择。
2. 激励广告
游戏可能提供可选的激励广告。您主动选择观看后，广告服务商确认完成观看，游戏才会发放相应虚拟奖励。您可以不点击激励广告并继续使用游戏核心功能，但不会获得对应的可选奖励。
3. 同意及广告选择
在法律要求的地区，我们使用 Google User Messaging Platform 在处理广告数据前获取同意。根据您的选择和适用法律，您可能会看到个性化广告、非个性化广告、受限广告或仅技术投放的广告。
如有要求，您可以通过游戏设置中的“隐私选项”重新查看或撤回同意。您也可以在 Android 设备的隐私设置中重置或删除广告 ID、限制广告个性化。撤回同意不影响撤回前基于有效同意进行的处理。
4. 处理目的和法律依据
我们及服务提供商为运行和支持游戏、回应支持请求、投放及衡量广告、防止欺诈与滥用、履行法律义务以及维护应用安全等合法利益处理信息。在法律要求同意的情况下，相关处理以您的同意为依据。
5. 信息分享及服务提供商
我们不会以收取金钱为目的出售个人信息。为投放和衡量广告，信息可能由 Google 及参与广告投放的合作伙伴处理，其处理行为受各自条款及隐私政策约束：
如果法律要求、为保护权利和安全，或发生受适当保障措施约束的业务交易，我们也可能披露必要信息。
6. 保存期限和安全
本地游戏数据会一直保留在设备中，直至您重置进度、清除应用存储或卸载应用。支持邮件仅在解决请求、保留必要记录、防止滥用和履行法律义务所需的合理期间内保存。广告服务提供商自行决定其数据保存期限。
我们采取合理的管理和技术措施保护信息，但任何存储或传输方式均无法保证绝对安全。
7. 儿童隐私
猪多酷数独是一款面向一般受众的益智游戏，并非为了直接、故意收集儿童个人信息而设计。我们不提供账号注册、公开聊天或用户生成内容。我们会根据平台要求和适用法律配置广告设置，包括对未达到所在地区同意年龄用户的处理。如果您认为儿童通过支持渠道向我们提供了个人信息，请联系我们，我们会进行核查并在适当情况下删除。
8. 跨境处理
Google 及其他服务商可能在您居住地以外的国家或地区处理信息。在法律要求的情况下，相关服务商会采用适用的跨境传输机制和保障措施，详情请查阅其隐私文件。
9. 您的隐私权利
根据您所在地区，您可能有权请求访问、更正、删除、限制处理、反对处理、数据可携带、撤回同意、提出申诉或向数据保护机构投诉。由于我们不运营用户账号，且本地进度不会通过我们的自有服务器离开设备，我们可能并不持有能够与您关联的数据。对于支持邮件数据，请通过下方联系方式提交请求。对于由 Google 控制的信息，请使用 Google 的隐私控制工具或直接联系 Google。
具体方式请参阅数据请求页面。
10. 政策变更
游戏功能、服务商或法律要求发生变化时，我们可能更新本政策。新版政策会在此发布并更新“最后更新”日期；重大变更也可能通过应用内适当方式告知。
