Privacy Policy

Puzzle Push (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is a classic Sokoban-style puzzle game. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

Summary

• No account is required for Personal Practice.
• A nickname or Google sign-in may be used for synced practice records, Daily Challenge rankings, and Online Battle. Google sign-in lets you return to the same profile on another device; a matching nickname does not recover a guest profile.
• We use analytics to understand usage and improve the game.
• We may store preferences and gameplay records, including practice clears, daily challenge results, ranking entries, battle rooms, and completed battle records.
• We may use advertising technologies, including Google AdSense, when ads are shown on the site.
• You can contact us at contact@puzzlepush.com.

Information We Collect

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

• Profile Information: if you choose a nickname or sign in with Google, we may receive profile details needed to identify your records, such as a display name, account ID, and email address provided by the sign-in provider.
• Usage Analytics: page views, device type, approximate location (country/region), and technical metrics that help us measure page loading, input responsiveness, layout stability, and gameplay flow.
• Gameplay Records: level numbers, level names, clear status, elapsed time, move count, timestamps, daily challenge attempts, daily/weekly/monthly ranking entries, battle room details, battle participants, and battle results.
• Local Storage and Cookies: game preferences, lesson completion, local practice records, pending practice uploads, session state, and saved moves for resuming daily or battle attempts may be stored on your device. Unsigned and profile-linked practice records are kept separately; you choose whether to import unsigned or older browser records into your current profile.
• Advertising Data: when ads are enabled, advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, measure, and limit the repetition of ads.
• Communications: if you email us, we receive your email address and any information you include in your message.

How We Use Information

• To operate, maintain, and improve Puzzle Push.
• To provide random Daily Challenge levels, personal challenge records, and daily, weekly, and monthly rankings.
• 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.
• To analyze feature usage and balance level difficulty.
• To diagnose issues, prevent abuse, and ensure service reliability.
• To support advertising, reporting, and fraud prevention when ads are enabled.
• To respond to your inquiries.

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 use third-party analytics, including Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity, to understand how the game is used. Clarity may collect interaction data such as clicks, scrolling, navigation, and technical diagnostics to provide heatmaps and session replays. These services use cookies or similar technologies and may process device, approximate location, referrer, and usage information. Sensitive form content is masked by Clarity by default. Please refer to each provider's documentation for details on data handling and privacy choices.

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.

Unsigned practice records stay in your browser until you import them into a profile, clear them while signed out from the Records page or remove site data in your browser settings. Removing site data also removes pending practice uploads and the saved moves needed to resume an unfinished official attempt. It does not delete records already saved to a profile.

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

• When signed out, you can clear unsigned 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.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect upon posting on this page. We encourage you to review it periodically.
