Information We Collect

We collect limited information needed to operate the game modes, records, rankings, and support channels. The information we collect includes:

How We Use Information

• To save Personal Practice records and keep level progress available.
• To create Online Battle rooms, support asynchronous two-player matches, decide results, and display battle records.

Third-Party Services and Advertising

If you choose Google sign-in, your use of that provider is also subject to Google's own terms and privacy policy. We use the profile information returned by the provider to connect records, rankings, and battle activity to your Puzzle Push profile.

We may use third-party analytics (e.g., Google Analytics) to better understand how the game is used. These services use cookies or similar technologies to collect non-identifying information. Please refer to the provider's documentation for details on their data handling and opt-out options.

Puzzle Push may also use Google AdSense to serve ads. Google and its partners may use cookies to personalize ads, measure campaign performance, and limit how often the same ad appears. Depending on your settings and location, the ads you see may be personalized or non-personalized.

Advertising Cookies

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to Puzzle Push and other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites and apps at Google's advertising technologies page.

You can manage ad personalization through Google Ad Settings. For a broader overview of storage technologies used on the site, see our Cookie Policy.

Data Retention

Analytics data is retained according to our analytics provider's settings and is generally aggregated. Advertising and measurement data is retained according to the settings and policies of the providers we use. Emails you send to us may be retained as long as necessary to respond and for record-keeping.

Cloud gameplay records, including Daily Challenge results, ranking entries, practice records, and battle records, may be retained while needed to operate Records, rankings, and match history. You can contact us to request deletion of profile-linked records.

Local practice records stay in your browser until you clear them from the Records page or remove site data in your browser settings.

Children’s Privacy

Puzzle Push is suitable for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Your Choices

• You can clear local practice records from the Records page or clear cookies and local storage from your browser settings.
• You may opt out of certain analytics via provider tools and browser add-ons.
• You can manage Google ad personalization through Google Ad Settings.
• You can contact us to request deletion of communications you’ve sent to us.
