This Privacy Policy outlines how Silent Orbit handles information when you download, install, and play Word Solve (package name: com.wordsolve.app) on your Android device.

1. Entity Identification & Developer Information

As registered on the Google Play Console:

• Application Name: Word Solve
• Developer Entity Name: Silent Orbit
• Package Name: com.wordsolve.app
• Support & Privacy Email: facttech709@gmail.com

2. Offline-First Architecture & Data We Process

Word Solve is engineered with a strict offline-first, privacy-by-design architecture. The core gameplay requires no personal user registration:

• Local Game Progress: Your puzzle level completions, star ratings, earned coins, booster inventory (Hints, Shuffles, Targets, Star Bursts), sound/music settings, and selected board themes are stored exclusively on your device's local storage. This data is never sent to our servers.
• In-App Purchases & Subscriptions: All financial transactions for virtual coin packages, Lifetime Ad Removal, and VIP Crown Pass subscriptions are processed exclusively and securely by Google Play Billing (Google LLC). Silent Orbit never collects, sees, or stores your credit card numbers, billing addresses, or payment credentials. We only receive cryptographically signed purchase confirmation tokens from Google Play to unlock the purchased virtual goods.
• Anonymous Diagnostics & Analytics: We use Google Firebase services (Firebase Analytics) to collect anonymous, aggregated telemetry (such as session counts, level completion rates, and retention milestones). This non-personally identifiable data helps us balance puzzle difficulty, fix bugs, and optimize performance for smooth 60+ FPS gameplay.
• Closed Testing Session Telemetry: For enrolled QA testers, anonymous play session duration may be synced with Google Firebase Cloud Firestore to verify testing criteria in compliance with Google Play Console testing policies.
• No Sensitive Personal Data: We do NOT collect, request, access, or store your real name, phone number, physical address, email address (unless you email our support team directly), contact list, GPS location, camera, microphone, photos, files, or biometric data.

3. Android Device Permissions & Their Exact Purposes

Word Solve requests only the minimum Android permissions strictly necessary for its functionality. We do not request any runtime sensitive permissions:

• POST_NOTIFICATIONS: Used exclusively to deliver optional local notifications for daily coin bonus reminders and engagement alerts. You can enable or disable these notifications at any time in the in-game Settings screen or via Android System Settings.
• SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM & RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Used to schedule local daily coin bonus timers so that your daily reward alarm triggers accurately, even after restarting your device, without running unnecessary background battery-draining services.
• com.android.vending.BILLING: Required by the Google Play Billing Library to communicate securely with Google Play for purchases and subscription verification.

4. Advertising & Monetization

To support ongoing development and keep Word Solve free to play, the App may display non-intrusive advertisements in compliance with Google Play Developer Policies:

• Google AdMob: May display contextual banner, interstitial, or rewarded video advertisements. AdMob may utilize your device's resetable Android Advertising ID (AAID) in accordance with Google's privacy standards. You can manage or reset your Advertising ID anytime in your device's Settings > Google > Ads.
• User Consent (GDPR / UMP): For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom (UK), consent for personalized vs. non-personalized ads is managed through the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP).
• Optional Rewarded Ads: Watching rewarded video ads is entirely optional and initiated solely by the player to earn extra in-game coins or boosters.
• Ad-Free Experience: Players can permanently remove non-rewarded ads by purchasing Lifetime No-Ads or subscribing to the VIP Crown Pass.

5. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K)

Word Solve is a family-friendly word puzzle game designed for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect, store, or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Union). If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at facttech709@gmail.com, and we will promptly delete such information.

6. Security & Data Protection

Silent Orbit employs industry-standard security safeguards. All communications between the App and Google services are encrypted in transit via Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS). Cleartext HTTP traffic is completely blocked across the App via Android Network Security Configuration.

7. Data Retention & User Deletion Rights

Because Word Solve stores your gameplay progress locally on your device, you have complete control over your data:

• Clear Local Data: You can completely erase all your puzzle progress, coins, and settings at any time by clearing the App's data in Android Settings > Apps > Word Solve > Storage > Clear Data, or by uninstalling the App.
• Support Data Deletion: If you have contacted our developer support via email and wish to have your email communication deleted, please send a deletion request to facttech709@gmail.com. We will fulfill and confirm your request within 30 days.

8. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect app updates, new features, or evolving regulatory requirements. Any modifications will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We recommend checking this page periodically.
