Pup Grid Privacy Policy
Who we are
Pup Grid is made by Nomad Creative, an independent game studio based in India ("we", "us"). We are responsible for this app. Contact us at support@nomadcreative.space.
This policy covers the Pup Grid app for Android and iOS and this website.
What stays on your device
Your game progress is saved only in the app's storage on your phone: levels cleared, stars, the puzzle in progress, daily challenge, streak and Streak Shields, hints, Fetches and retry passes, and your settings (sound, vibration, Pattern mode, reminders). We never receive this information. It is deleted when you uninstall the app or clear its storage, and it does not move to a new phone.
Daily reminders (Android) are optional. If you turn them on, the reminder times are worked out and scheduled on your phone by the phone itself. Nothing about them is sent to us or anyone else, and you can turn them off in Pup Grid's Settings or your phone's notification settings.
Advertising
Pup Grid is free and is paid for by ads from Google AdMob: banners, ads in empty space on some screens, full-screen ads between levels, and ads you can choose to watch for a reward. Google LLC (and, in the European Economic Area and Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited) runs these ads and decides how their data is used.
To show, limit, measure and protect these ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK in the app collects:
| Information | Used for |
|---|---|
| Your device's advertising ID: the Android advertising ID, or on iPhone and iPad the IDFA, only if you allow tracking (see below). Where available, Android's Privacy Sandbox ad topics and measurement may be used instead. | Choosing and measuring ads, limiting how often you see the same ad, and preventing fraud |
| Your IP address and the approximate location it implies (city or region, not precise GPS location) | Showing ads suited to your region, and fraud prevention |
| Device and app details: phone model, operating system version, language, app version, network type | Delivering ads that work on your device |
| Ad interactions: which ads were shown, tapped or watched | Measuring ads and paying us for them |
| Crash and performance information from the ads SDK | Keeping ads working reliably |
Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
Your ad choices
- Consent. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Pup Grid asks before any personalised ads are shown, using Google's consent tool. If you don't agree, you still get ads, but they are not based on your interests.
- US state privacy laws. Where these laws apply, you can opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your information for targeted advertising.
- Change your mind any time in Pup Grid under Settings → Ad privacy choices (shown where these choices apply).
- iPhone and iPad. Pup Grid asks for your permission, using Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, before your advertising identifier (IDFA) can be used to track you across other companies' apps and websites. If you choose Ask App Not to Track, you still get ads, but they don't use the IDFA. You can change this any time in your device's Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- On any Android phone you can delete or reset your advertising ID in the phone's Settings → Privacy → Ads.
When you contact us
If you email us, for example through Settings → Send feedback, we receive your email address and whatever you write. We use it only to reply and to improve the game. We keep these emails for as long as we need them to help you, and for no longer than 24 months.
This website
nomadcreative.space uses no cookies, analytics or ads. Like any website, our hosting provider briefly records technical data such as IP addresses to deliver the pages and protect against abuse.
What we don't do
- We don't ask for your name, email, contacts, photos, microphone or precise location.
- We don't use analytics or tracking tools of our own.
- We don't sell your information, and we don't receive any personal information from Google AdMob apart from overall ad statistics.
Children
Pup Grid is a puzzle game for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email us and we will delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information, to object to or limit how it's used, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Your game progress never reaches us, so you control it completely on your phone. For information Google holds about you, use Google's privacy tools. For anything else, email support@nomadcreative.space and we will reply within 30 days.
Security and transfers
Ad data is sent to Google over encrypted connections and may be processed in the United States and other countries where Google operates, under Google's own safeguards.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update it here and change the date at the top. If a change is significant, we will also tell you in the app.
