Puzzle Maniacs ("we", "us") is the developer and publisher of the jigsaw puzzle apps listed below on Google Play and the Apple App Store. This policy is written by us and applies to every one of those apps, which share the same code and the same data practices.
We built these apps to collect as little as possible. You can play without creating an account, we do not ask for your name, email or location to play, and we never sell your data.
Apps covered by this policy
This policy applies to the following apps published by Puzzle Maniacs (the "App"), listed by their Google Play and App Store listing titles. Where a listing also appears under a localized title, that title is given too, so every store listing is named here:

What we collect
- A random app identifier. On first launch the App creates a random identifier (a UUID) stored on your device and sent to our game server, so your progress persists and you can appear on leaderboards. It is not your Google or Apple account, not your advertising ID, and not a hardware serial. It is not linked to your real-world identity.
- Gameplay and progress data. When connected, the App syncs to our game server: your in-game display name, coins, XP, level, daily and longest streak, unlocked packs, and per-puzzle results (puzzle id, piece count, completion time, stars, score, hints used, and whether it was the daily puzzle), plus a session id and the platform.
- Display name (optional). If you set a public name it is shown to other players on leaderboards and to friends you connect with. Pick anything — it need not be your real name, and you may leave it blank or change it at any time.
- Approximate region. Your device's locale country setting (for example "US") is sent so the country leaderboard works. This is a country code only. We do not collect GPS or precise location.
- Sign-in (optional). On Android you may sign in with Google; on iOS you may use Sign in with Apple. We receive a token or pseudonymous identifier used to verify you and link your progress to your account. From Google Sign-In we receive basic profile information such as your name. We never receive your password. You can use the App fully without signing in.
- Friends and presence (optional). If you use friends features, we process friend requests, friend connections and basic online/presence status so the feature works.
- Push notifications (optional). If you enable reminders, we store a push token — issued by Firebase Cloud Messaging on Android or by Apple on iOS — so we can send the notifications you asked for, such as a daily-puzzle reminder. Declining changes nothing else.
- Analytics. We use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how players move through the App. It records screen views, taps on controls, toggles and selections, puzzle starts and completions, streak days and pack completions, and failed network requests.
- Diagnostics and error logs. When a request to our server fails, our server records the event so we can fix it: the time, the request path and HTTP status, an error reason, your random app identifier, your country code, and the app id, app version and user agent.
- Advertising data. We show banner ads via Google AdMob. Google may collect and use device information — including the advertising identifier, IP address, device characteristics and ad-interaction data — to serve and measure ads. See "Advertising" below.
- Local-only settings. Preferences such as sound, reminders, puzzle-outline and timer toggles, and your last-played puzzle stay on your device and are not sent to us.
We do not collect precise location, your contacts, your photos, microphone or camera data, your browsing history, or payment information. There are no in-app purchases; the Apps are supported by ads.
How we use information
- To save and sync your game progress across sessions and devices.
- To run daily challenges, coins, XP, streaks and leaderboards.
- To provide optional sign-in and friends features.
- To send the notifications you have enabled.
- To display and measure the ads that keep the Apps free.
- To operate, secure, debug and improve the Apps.
Advertising
Ads are served by Google AdMob. Ads may be personalized depending on your region and your device settings. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA and the UK), a consent prompt is shown on Android before personalized ads are served, and you can reopen your choices from the privacy options in the App. On iOS, personalized ads are used only if you allow tracking in the App Tracking Transparency prompt; if you decline, ads are non-personalized and the game is identical. You can also reset or limit ad personalization in your device's Google or Apple settings.
Third parties
We use the following third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy. We do not control their data practices beyond the data we send them as described above:
- Google AdMob (ads) — how Google uses data and the Google Privacy Policy
- Google Analytics for Firebase (analytics) — Firebase privacy
- Firebase Cloud Messaging (optional push, Android) — Firebase privacy
- Google Sign-In (optional account, Android) — Google Privacy Policy
- Apple (optional Sign in with Apple and push notifications, iOS) — Apple Privacy Policy
Our game server is operated for us at puzzle.ribndip.com. We do not sell or rent your
personal information, and we share data only with the service providers listed here, as needed to run
the Apps.
Data retention & deletion
We keep your gameplay and progress data while your install is active, so your progress is not lost. You can delete everything at any time from Settings → Delete account inside the App, which permanently removes your player record, progress, leaderboard entries, friend links and push token from our server. You can also email us at [email protected] and we will delete your data within 30 days. Uninstalling the App removes locally stored settings and the on-device identifier; to also remove server-side data, use the in-app option or contact us.
Security
We use reasonable technical measures, including encrypted HTTPS connections to our server, to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
The Apps are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example in the EEA or UK under the GDPR, or in California under the CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, port or restrict processing of your personal information, and to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will revise the "Last updated" date above and, for significant changes, provide notice in the App or on this page.
