Privacy Policy for Columns Classic
Who this policy covers
This Privacy Policy explains how the Columns Classic mobile app handles information when you use it.
Information stored locally on your device
The app stores game settings, saved game state, high scores, and the ads preference locally on your device so the game can resume correctly and keep personal progress available offline.
High score names
If you type a name for local leaderboards, that value is stored only on your device. The app does not send those local leaderboard entries to a developer-run service.
Advertising
If ads are enabled, the app uses Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob). Google and its partners may process identifiers, IP address, approximate location, app interactions, ad performance information, and diagnostic signals in order to serve and measure ads.
Learn more: Google Privacy Policy and Google AdMob information.
Information the app does not intentionally collect
- No account details are required to play.
- No precise GPS location is needed.
- No contact, photo, microphone, or camera access is required.
- No payment information is collected by this hosted app description.
Your choices and controls
- You can disable ads inside the app.
- You can clear app storage or uninstall the app to remove local data.
- Advertising preferences may also be controlled through Android and Google settings.
Data retention
Local data remains on the device until you clear the app storage or remove the app. Ad-related retention is governed by Google policies.
Security and children
The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children. As with any local-only game data, the security of stored data also depends on how the device itself is protected.
Changes to this policy
This policy may change as the app or legal requirements change. The effective date on this page will be updated when a revision is published.
