1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Petalmere (“the App,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you use our Android application.
Petalmere is an offline merge puzzle game. We designed the App to work without accounts, without advertising, and without sending your information to our servers.
2. Information We Collect
We do not collect, receive, or store personal information on our servers. The App does not require you to create an account, sign in, or provide your name, email address, phone number, location, contacts, photos, or other personally identifiable information.
The App also does not use analytics SDKs, advertising SDKs, crash reporting services, or other third-party tracking tools that collect data on our behalf.
To provide gameplay, the App stores local game data only on your device. This data is used solely to run the App and is not transmitted to us. It may include:
- Level progress, scores, stars, and completion status
- In-game currency and profile values (such as coins and harmony score)
- Garden decoration inventory and placement layout
- Plant catalog unlock status
- Achievement progress
- Gameplay statistics (such as total merges and play time)
- Daily challenge completion date and streak count
- App settings (music, sound effects, haptic feedback, reduced motion, and theme preferences)
- Non-identifying timestamps related to gameplay (such as first launch or last played time)
This local data is functional game information, not personal information you provide to us.
3. Android Permissions
Petalmere does not request dangerous or special Android permissions (such as camera, microphone, contacts, location, storage access, or internet access).
The App does not declare the INTERNET permission and is designed to operate fully offline.
Haptic feedback, when enabled in Settings, uses standard in-app feedback APIs and does not require
a separate vibration permission in our manifest.
4. How We Use Information
Local game data stored on your device is used only to:
- Save and restore your game progress
- Track in-game rewards, achievements, and statistics
- Remember your preferences and settings
- Provide daily challenge and garden features
We do not use this data for profiling, marketing, or advertising.
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Because the App does not connect to our servers, we do not receive or transmit your game data.
If you contact us by email, we will use your email address only to respond to your message.
6. Android Backup and Device Transfer
The App supports Android backup features. If you have device backup enabled on your phone (for example, Google backup on Android), your local game data and settings may be included in encrypted backups managed by your device operating system and your Google account settings.
This backup process is controlled by Android and your device settings, not by Petalmere servers. We do not access or control those backups.
7. Children’s Privacy
Petalmere does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Because the App does not require accounts and does not collect personal data, it can be used without submitting personal information.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has contacted us with personal information, please email us and we will delete that correspondence.
8. Data Retention and Deletion
Your local game data remains on your device until you delete it by:
- Using Reset Game Data in the App’s Settings screen, or
- Uninstalling the App from your device
Uninstalling the App removes locally stored game data from your device, subject to your Android backup settings.
9. Security
Because data stays on your device and is not sent to our servers, protection of that data depends primarily on your device security (screen lock, device access controls, and backup settings).
10. International Users
Petalmere is provided as a local offline application. We do not operate backend servers to collect or process user data in other countries.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective date” at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
