Privacy-By-Design Summary

This mobile puzzle game is crafted as an entirely offline, standalone experience. We uphold a strict Zero-Data Collection philosophy. The game does not collect, record, process, store on external servers, track, profile, share, monetize, or transmit any player data or device identifiers whatsoever. No system permissions are requested or utilized.

1. Introduction & Overview

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Core Nova Systems ("we", "us", "our", or the "Developer") respects, protects, and handles your privacy while you play and interact with our mobile puzzle game (hereinafter referred to as the "Game").

We believe that mobile games should provide engaging, relaxing, and wholesome entertainment without compromising player privacy or demanding personal information. This document provides clear, comprehensive, and exhaustive details regarding our non-collection practices, on-device storage architecture, security posture, and full compliance with global privacy regulations including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and Google Play Policy Center Guidelines.

2. Zero Personal Information Collection

The Game does not collect any Personally Identifiable Information (PII). You can install, launch, play all levels, enjoy game features, and configure settings without ever providing personal details. Specifically:

3. Complete Absence of Device Permissions

Android security architecture mandates that sensitive device capabilities require manifest declarations and runtime user consents. The Game declares and requests ZERO (0) Android permissions in its manifest file (AndroidManifest.xml):

Permission Category Status in the Game Technical Details
Location Services NOT REQUESTED No access to GPS, Wi-Fi triangulation, cell-tower data, or coarse/fine location.

4. Local Data Storage Architecture (Android SharedPreferences)

To preserve your puzzle completion milestones and audio preferences across gameplay sessions, the Game utilizes Android's native, sandboxed key-value storage engine known as SharedPreferences.

4.1 What Exact Game Data Is Stored Locally?

All stored values are strictly gameplay-related, non-personal, and entirely localized to your physical device. The following parameters are maintained:

4.2 Where Is This Data Stored & Who Has Access?

This data is written exclusively to an internal XML file located in the Game's private, operating-system-sandboxed directory on your device: /data/data/com.choco.animation.arrow/shared_prefs/game_prefs.xml.

Under Android's security isolation architecture, no other application or third-party service can inspect, read, or alter this sandboxed file. Furthermore, the Game has no cloud sync, no remote database, and no server connectivity. Your level progress never leaves your physical phone or tablet.

4.3 How Can You Erase or Reset Your Game Progress?

Players maintain full control over their local gameplay records at all times:

5. Third-Party Services, SDKs & Trackers

Many mobile games include third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs) that run analytics or load advertisements. The Game is deliberately built without any such integrations:

6. External Links & User-Initiated Actions

The Game contains a minimal set of user-initiated external triggers accessible exclusively from the Settings menu:

When you leave the Game to open an external application (like your browser or email client), the respective privacy policies of those external services apply.

7. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) & Family Policies

The Game is a wholesome, family-friendly logic puzzle game suitable for audiences of all ages, including children:

8. Global Privacy Frameworks Compliance

8.2 California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA)
