Privacy Policy — Sudoku Mini

1. About Sudoku Mini 2.0

Sudoku Mini (com.alisoplay.sudokumini) is an Android logic puzzle application developed by Alisoplay. This policy explains how gameplay data is handled in local Guest mode, how optional Play ID cloud progression operates, and how advertising services process technical information.

2. Local-First Gameplay & Optional Play ID

Local Guest Gameplay: By default, Sudoku Mini functions 100% offline. Active puzzle state, entered numbers, pencil marks, timer state, completion statistics, and audio/haptic preferences are saved strictly on your local device using SharedPreferences. No registration or server account is required to enjoy the full Sudoku experience.

Optional Play ID Synchronization: Players who choose to connect an Alisoplay Play ID can synchronize their progression across devices, including Level, XP, Coins, persistent Hint Bank, Rank Points (RP), Leagues, Achievements, Streaks, Daily Missions, and Match History.

Real Aggregate Presence: The application periodically sends a lightweight heartbeat to report active session status within a 5-minute window. This is used solely to display a real-time aggregate count of active players worldwide. No personal location, IP address logging, or individual tracking is stored.

3. Google AdMob Advertising & Data Segregation

Sudoku Mini uses Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) to provide banners, natural interstitials between completed puzzles, and optional rewarded hint videos.

Google and its advertising partners may process advertising identifiers (GAID), device network metadata, and diagnostics in accordance with applicable laws, Google policies, and your consent choices.

Strict Segregation: Advertising data is strictly isolated from your Play ID account and gameplay state. Alisoplay never correlates ad identifiers with competitive profile records or match ledgers.

4. Privacy Choices & Google UMP Consent

Sudoku Mini integrates Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) to gather and respect consent for personalized advertising where legally required (such as in the EEA and UK).

You can review or modify your consent settings at any time in the app via Settings > Ad Privacy Options.

5. Data Control & Account Deletion Rights

Local Data Deletion: You can clear all on-device gameplay state, saved puzzles, and statistics at any time through Settings > Delete Game Data, or via Android Settings > Apps > Sudoku Mini > Storage > Clear Data. Uninstalling the app also permanently removes all local data held within the application sandbox.

Play ID Deletion: Authenticated Play ID users can permanently delete their Play ID account, competitive match history, progression ledgers, and rankings directly in-app through Settings > Delete Play ID Account, or via our web portal at https://alisoplay.com/en/account-deletion.

Upon deletion, all server-stored profile records, match logs, and transaction entries are permanently purged or anonymized.

6. Security & Token Storage

Play ID authentication tokens are stored securely on the mobile device. Server-side API communication utilizes TLS encryption, idempotent transaction verification, and rate limiting to protect user data from unauthorized manipulation.

7. Policy Updates

Updates to this policy are published at this official URL. Opening Privacy Policy from within Sudoku Mini always directs you to this current, authoritative disclosure.
