Privacy Policy for Snap Slide
The short version. Snap Slide has no accounts and no sign-in. Your puzzle progress never leaves your device.
The only data that goes anywhere is what Google's advertising and payment services need: an advertising identifier so ads can be shown and measured, and purchase records if you buy something. We never see your payment details.
Rhythm Themes("we", "us", or "our") operates the Snap Slide mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it is used, and the choices available to you. By using the App you agree to this policy.
1. Information we collect
- Gameplay data — puzzle progress, move counts, completion times, stars earned, hint balance, and your sound, music, haptics and timer settings. This is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to us. If you have Android's backup feature enabled, it may be included in your own Google account backup, which is controlled by you and encrypted by Google.
- Advertising identifiers and ad interaction data — collected by our advertising partner, Google AdMob, in order to serve and measure ads. This includes your device's advertising ID and events such as an ad being shown or tapped. Where you have given consent, this may be used for personalised advertising.
- Purchase data — when you make an in-app purchase, the transaction is processed entirely by Google Play Billing. We receive only the status of the purchase so we can unlock what you bought and restore it later. We never receive or store your card number or payment details.
- What we do not collect — we do not ask for or collect your name, email address, phone number, precise location, contacts, photos, or any other personal identifier. The App has no account system, no sign-in, no chat, and no user-generated content.
2. How we use information
- To run the game, save your progress, and let you resume a puzzle later.
- To process purchases you choose to make, and to restore them if you reinstall the App or change device.
- To display advertising, which is what keeps the App free — including personalised advertising where you have consented and where local law permits.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your data to build a profile of you outside of the advertising described above.
3. Third-party services
The App uses the following Google services. Each processes data under its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to read:
- Google AdMob — advertising and ad measurement. policies.google.com/privacy
- Google Play Billing — in-app purchases. policies.google.com/privacy
- Google User Messaging Platform — collecting and storing your advertising consent choice. policies.google.com/privacy
You can review how Google uses data from apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
4. Advertising and your consent
Before any ad is requested, the App asks for your advertising consent using Google's User Messaging Platform, in line with the EU/UK GDPR and applicable US state privacy laws. If you decline personalised advertising, you will still see ads, but they will not be personalised.
You can change your choice at any time from Settings → Data & privacy → Ad privacy choices inside the App. You can also reset or delete your device's advertising ID in your Android system settings under Settings → Privacy → Ads.
5. Your rights and choices
- Delete your data. Uninstalling the App, or clearing its data from Android's app settings, permanently removes all gameplay data stored on your device.
- Purchases. You can view and manage your purchase history through Google Play's own order management tools.
- Access, correction and erasure. Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR, or the California CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, port, or delete personal data held about you, and to object to certain processing. Because we do not operate servers or hold an account for you, most such data sits with Google as described above — but you can contact us at the address below and we will help you direct the request appropriately.
- Do Not Sell or Share. We do not sell personal information. Ad personalisation can be switched off using the consent controls above.
6. Children's privacy
The App is not directed at children under 13, or under the relevant age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The App is not enrolled in Google Play's Designed for Families programme. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at the address below and we will delete it promptly.
7. Data retention and security
Gameplay data is retained on your device until you uninstall the App or clear its data. All network traffic from the third-party services listed above uses encrypted HTTPS connections. We take reasonable technical measures to protect data processed on our behalf, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
8. International transfers
The third-party services above are operated by Google and may process data on servers located outside your country, including in the United States. Those transfers are governed by Google's own safeguards and privacy policy.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time — for example if we add a new feature or service. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page, and where required by law we will seek your consent again. Continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
10. Contact us
Questions, concerns, or privacy requests can be sent to apps.rhythmthemes@gmail.com. We aim to respond within 30 days.
