Privacy Policy for MySudoku

Last updated: June 28, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how MySudoku, provided by Nir Barzilay, collects, uses, and shares information when you use the MySudoku mobile application.

MySudoku is a Sudoku puzzle game with classic puzzles, daily challenges, statistics, achievements, optional iCloud sync, local notifications, advertising, and an optional one-time Remove Ads purchase.

By using the app, you agree to the collection and use of information described in this Privacy Policy.

Who We Are

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy:

Information We Collect

MySudoku does not require account creation and does not ask you to provide your name, email address, phone number, or password to play the game.

The App may collect or process the following types of information:

Gameplay And App Data

The App stores gameplay information so the game can work correctly, including:

Most gameplay and settings data is stored locally on your device. If iCloud sync is enabled, some gameplay, settings, statistics, achievements, saved-game, daily-progress, and notification-preference data may be synced through Apple’s iCloud key-value storage so your progress can be available across your Apple devices.

Analytics Data

We use Firebase Analytics, provided by Google, to understand how the App is used and to improve the product. Analytics events may include information such as:

This analytics data helps us improve gameplay, retention, performance, and reliability.

Advertising Data

MySudoku uses Google Mobile Ads, including AdMob, to show ads to non-premium users. Ads may include banners, interstitial ads shown after games, and rewarded ads that can provide an extra hint.

Google Mobile Ads and its advertising partners may collect or use information such as:

Depending on your region and privacy choices, ads may be personalized, non-personalized, or limited. If you do not grant tracking permission, the App can still show ads, but the advertising identifier will not be shared for tracking.

Consent And Privacy Choices

MySudoku uses Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request and manage advertising consent choices where required by law or platform rules. UMP may show consent forms and may store your consent choices locally or through Google’s consent systems.

When privacy options are required, the App provides a Privacy Options entry in Settings so you can review or change your advertising consent choices.

App Tracking Transparency

On supported iOS versions, the App may ask for permission through Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt before allowing access to the advertising identifier for tracking and personalized advertising.

You can change this permission at any time in iOS Settings.

Purchases

MySudoku offers a one-time, non-consumable Remove Ads in-app purchase. Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your full payment card details.

The App may use StoreKit transaction information to determine whether you purchased Remove Ads, restored a previous purchase, or are entitled to an ad-free experience. Existing users who previously purchased the paid version of the App may be treated as premium/ad-free according to the App’s entitlement rules.

Local Notifications

If you enable notifications, the App may schedule local reminders for Daily Challenge play. Notification permission is controlled by iOS, and you can turn notifications off in iOS Settings or inside the App where available.

Feedback Email

If you choose to contact us by email from the App, your email address and the message content are shared by you through your email app. We use that information only to respond to your request and improve the App.

Crash And Diagnostic Data

Apple, Firebase, Google, or other platform services may provide crash, diagnostic, performance, and device information that helps us find and fix bugs.

How We Use Information

We use information for the following purposes:

Third-Party Services

MySudoku uses third-party services that may collect or process information according to their own privacy policies:

These services may process data in countries or regions outside your own.

Sharing Information

We do not sell your directly provided personal information.

We may share or allow processing of information with Service Providers only as needed to:

We may disclose information if we believe it is necessary to:

Your Choices

You can control several privacy-related settings:

Some data controlled by Apple, Google, Firebase, AdMob, or iCloud may need to be managed through those providers’ privacy tools and account settings.

Data Retention

Local gameplay data remains on your device until you delete it, reset it through App functionality where available, or uninstall the App.

iCloud-synced data may remain in iCloud according to Apple’s iCloud behavior and your iCloud account settings.

Analytics, advertising, purchase, consent, crash, and diagnostic data may be retained by Apple, Google, Firebase, AdMob, and related service providers according to their retention practices and legal obligations.

Security

We care about protecting your information, but no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We use commercially reasonable tools and platform services, but we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

MySudoku is a general-audience puzzle game and is not directed specifically to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect directly identifiable personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Changes To This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we update it, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Changes are effective when posted.

You should review this Privacy Policy periodically.
