BMM ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Sudoku mobile application (the "App").
This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and shared when you use the App.
By using the App, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide
The App does not require you to create an account, provide your name, email address, telephone number, or other personal information in order to play Sudoku.
We do not intentionally collect personal information directly from you through the App.
Information Collected Automatically
The App uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may automatically collect or process certain information from your device and interaction with advertisements, which may include:
- Advertising identifiers, such as the Android Advertising ID
- Device and app information
- IP address
- Approximate location derived from IP address
- Information about advertisements displayed and interactions with advertisements
- Diagnostics, performance, and fraud-prevention information
The information collected by Google may be used to provide, measure, personalize, and improve advertising services, subject to Google's policies and the choices available to users.
For more information about how Google uses information from apps that use its services, please see:
https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
2. Advertising
The App uses Google AdMob to display advertisements.
Depending on the user's location, applicable privacy requirements, device settings, and consent choices, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.
AdMob may use advertising identifiers and other information to provide and measure advertisements.
Google's advertising services are operated independently by Google and are subject to Google's own privacy policies.
You can learn more about Google's advertising practices at:
https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
3. Rewarded Advertisements
The App may provide optional rewarded advertisements.
For example, a user may voluntarily watch a rewarded advertisement to receive an additional in-game benefit, such as an extra life or hint.
Watching a rewarded advertisement is optional. The reward is provided only when the advertising service confirms that the required advertisement interaction has been completed successfully.
4. Local Game Data
The App may store game-related information locally on your device in order to provide game functionality and preserve your progress.
This may include information such as:
- Current puzzle progress
- Game statistics
- Remaining lives
- Hint usage
- Game settings
- Other gameplay state
This information is used to operate the App and is not intended to identify you personally.
If you uninstall the App or clear its application data, locally stored game information may be deleted.
5. How We Use Information
Information processed through the App and its advertising services may be used to:
- Provide and operate the Sudoku game
- Save and restore gameplay progress
- Provide advertisements
- Provide rewarded advertisements and associated rewards
- Measure advertising performance
- Detect and prevent fraud or abuse
- Maintain the security and reliability of the App
- Diagnose technical problems
- Improve the App and its functionality
6. Third-Party Services
The App uses third-party services, including Google AdMob, to provide advertising functionality.
These third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.
Google's privacy policy is available at:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
Google AdMob information is available at:
https://support.google.com/admob/
7. Advertising Choices and Consent
Where required by applicable law, users may be presented with a consent request before personalized advertising or certain forms of data processing are enabled.
Users may also have privacy and advertising controls available through their device settings, Google services, or advertising consent mechanisms provided by the App.
For users in regions where Google's consent requirements apply, advertising may be limited or configured according to the user's consent choices.
8. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed toward children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.
Google's advertising services apply additional restrictions and protections where applicable to child-directed applications or users.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information processed through the App.
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-party services used by the App, including Google services, maintain their own security measures and policies.
10. Data Retention and Deletion
We do not maintain a user account or a personal-information database for Sudoku users.
Gameplay information stored locally on your device remains subject to your device's storage and application-data controls.
You can remove locally stored App data by clearing the App's data through your Android device settings or by uninstalling the App.
Information processed by third-party services such as Google AdMob is subject to the applicable third party's retention and deletion practices.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing.
Because advertising-related information may be processed directly by Google or other third-party providers, some requests may need to be made directly to those providers.

12. International Data Processing
Third-party service providers used by the App may process information on servers located in countries other than your country of residence.
Such processing is subject to the applicable privacy laws, contractual safeguards, and policies of the relevant service providers.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When we make changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the beginning of this policy.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to remain informed about how information is handled.
