Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how O'Slide (“the App”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you use our sliding-puzzle mobile application. We designed O'Slide to work largely on your device, with limited data shared only as needed for advertising and analytics provided by third parties.
1. Who we are
O'Slide is a casual puzzle game for Android. If you have questions about this policy, contact us at privacy@oslide.app.
2. Information we collect
Depending on how you use the App, we may process:
- Gameplay data stored on your device — such as difficulty preference, best scores, games played count (used for ad frequency), and similar settings. This data stays in local app storage on your device.
- Photos you choose — if you pick an image from your gallery to use as puzzle tiles, that image is copied into the App’s private storage on your device so the puzzle can be rendered. We do not upload your photo to our servers.
- Advertising identifiers and usage data — when ads are shown, Google AdMob (and related Google advertising services) may collect device identifiers (such as the Advertising ID), IP address, approximate location derived from IP, device and app information, and ad interaction data in accordance with their policies.
- Diagnostics — your device or Google Play services may collect crash or performance data as part of normal Android / Play operation. We do not operate a separate analytics backend for O'Slide beyond what third-party SDKs provide.
We do not require you to create an account, and we do not knowingly collect your name, email, or phone number through the App itself (except if you email us).
3. How we use information
- To run the puzzle game and remember your preferences and scores on-device.
- To display banners, interstitial, and rewarded ads after free play limits.
- To improve stability and understand ad performance via Google’s services.
- To respond if you contact us.
4. Advertising (Google AdMob)
O'Slide uses Google AdMob to show advertisements. AdMob may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve personalized or non-personalized ads, measure performance, and prevent fraud.
Learn more in Google’s Privacy Policy and AdMob help. You can manage ad personalization in your device settings (for example, Android’s ads / privacy settings) and through Google’s ad settings.
5. Permissions
- Internet / network state — required to load advertisements and related Google services.
- Photo / media access (via the system photo picker) — only when you choose a gallery image for a custom puzzle. The App receives the image you select; it does not browse your full library without your action.
6. Data retention
On-device settings, scores, and any custom puzzle photo remain until you clear app data, uninstall the App, or remove the photo in-app. Advertising data is retained by Google according to their policies. Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to respond and for legitimate business records.
7. Children’s privacy
O'Slide is a general-audience puzzle game. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your region) for our own databases. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us directly, contact us and we will delete it. Parents and guardians should review device ad and privacy settings when children play games that show ads.
8. Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers needed to operate the App—primarily Google for advertising and Play distribution—and when required by law.
9. International processing
Google and other infrastructure providers may process data on servers outside your country. Where required, appropriate safeguards are described in their respective privacy policies.
10. Your choices and rights
- Clear or uninstall the App to remove local scores and stored photos.
- Disable or limit ads personalization in device / Google settings.
- Decline optional photo access by not using custom gallery puzzles.
- Depending on your location (for example GDPR or CCPA regions), you may have rights to access, delete, or restrict certain personal data held by us or our processors. Contact us to make a request.
11. Security
We use reasonable technical measures appropriate for a local-first mobile game (private app storage for photos and preferences). No method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised policy, except where applicable law requires additional consent.
