This policy explains how the Android app Sudoku Cove (the App) handles your information. The App is a Sudoku game that is free to play and works offline. It offers optional in-app purchases. We do not sell your data, and we do not collect your name, email address or payment details. The only data that leaves your device through the App is the limited purchase information described in section 3, which is shared with Google Play and RevenueCat to process and validate purchases.
1. Summary
| Account or sign-in | None |
|---|---|
| Advertising | None |
| Analytics and tracking | None |
| In-app purchases | Optional: Cove Premium (monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase) and coin packs |
| Internet | Used only for purchases and restoring them; all gameplay works offline |
| Progress and settings | Stored on your device |
| Data sent to third parties | Google Play and RevenueCat, only to process and validate purchases |
| Name, email or payment details | Not collected by OrvexaCo or RevenueCat; payments are handled by Google |
2. Data stored on your device
The App stores the following on your device so the game can work:
- Your puzzle in progress, game history and statistics.
- Your levels, stars, coins, rewards, achievements, streaks and collections.
- Your settings, theme and chosen avatar.
- An optional nickname, if you enter one. You do not need to use your real name.
This data stays on your device. We cannot see it, and we cannot recover it for you. Coins, including coins you buy, are stored only on your device.
3. Purchases (Google Play and RevenueCat)
Purchases are optional. Puzzles, levels, hints and daily challenges are free without them. The App offers Cove Premium, as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription (the yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase, and coin packs, which are consumable in-game coins used for cosmetic avatar frames.
All payments are processed by Google Play. Your payment details are handled by Google and are never shared with OrvexaCo or RevenueCat.
The App uses RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc.) to validate purchases and manage subscription status. For this, RevenueCat receives:
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| An anonymous app user ID generated on your device | Links purchases to this install. It is not tied to your name, email or advertising ID |
| Purchase and transaction details (product, price, currency, purchase date and purchase token) | Validating purchases, managing subscription status and restoring Cove Premium |
| Basic device and app information (app version, Android version, country or storefront) | Validating purchases for the right store and country |
No puzzle progress, statistics, nickname or other game data is sent to RevenueCat or to us. OrvexaCo can see the purchase records above through RevenueCat to support purchases and subscriptions. See the RevenueCat privacy policy and the Google privacy policy.
4. Android backup
If Android backup is turned on for your device, Android may include the App's saved progress in your personal backup, or copy it when you move to a new device. Google manages that backup under your Google account and its own terms. OrvexaCo cannot access it. You can turn this off in your device settings.
5. Backup files you create
The App lets you save your progress to a backup file and restore it later. You choose where the file goes, using the Android file picker. The file contains your game data, including any nickname. If you store or share it, it is handled by the location or service you chose, so keep it somewhere you trust.
6. Permissions
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE | Purchases and restoring them, with Google Play and RevenueCat only |
com.android.vending.BILLING | Purchases through Google Play |
| Vibration | Optional haptic feedback, which you can turn off in Settings |
The App does not ask for access to your contacts, location, camera, microphone or photos.
7. Third parties
The App has no third-party advertising, analytics or crash-reporting services. It shares data with two third parties, only for purchases:
- Google Play processes payments, subscriptions, free trials and refunds, and delivers the App and its updates. Google may provide us with anonymous, summarized installation and crash statistics under its own privacy policy.
- RevenueCat validates purchases and manages subscription status, using the data listed in section 3. RevenueCat acts as our service provider.
8. Children
The App is suitable for all ages. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Gameplay data never leaves the device, and the only data sent off the device is the anonymous purchase information described in section 3. Purchases go through Google Play, where parents can require approval for purchases using Google Play parental controls.
9. Your choices and deletion
- Erase your saved data in the App through Settings, Reset game data.
- Remove the App and its device data by uninstalling it.
- Delete any backup files you created from wherever you stored them.
- Cancel a Cove Premium subscription in Google Play, under Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
Removing the App or resetting game data removes coins stored on the device. Cove Premium can be restored with Restore purchases. We hold no account for you. To ask for the anonymous app user ID and purchase records held by RevenueCat to be deleted, email muhammadsuleman30000@gmail.com. Records of payments are kept by Google under its own policies.
10. Security
Your data is kept in the App's private storage on your device, protected by Android's app sandbox. Purchase data sent to Google Play and RevenueCat travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Backup files you export are not encrypted, so please store them with care.
11. Changes
If the App's data practices change, we will update this policy and its effective date before the change takes effect.
