1. Introduction & Zero-Personal-Data Philosophy

MDDEVORA ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding Word Search Quest (the "Application" or "Game").

Our Core Privacy Principle:
We do NOT collect, store, sell, or share any personal information from anyone.

Word Search Quest is built so that you can play the game completely anonymously. You do not need to register an account, sign in, or provide any personal details (such as your name, email address, phone number, physical address, contacts, or photos) to enjoy the full game experience.

2. Information Handled by the Game

A. Local Device Storage Only (No Server Uploads)

All your game progression and preferences are saved strictly on your own device using standard local storage (SharedPreferences):

• Level progression and unlocked puzzle categories

• In-game coin balance and stars earned

• Hints unlocked and daily challenge streaks

• Audio, music, and haptic feedback toggle settings

• Visual themes selected or unlocked

MDDEVORA does NOT transmit, store, or back up this data on any remote server or database. This information lives solely on your device.

B. Multiplayer Mode (No Personal Data)

In the 2-Player Duel mode:

• Temporary, anonymous match room codes (e.g. M-4819) and puzzle seed numbers are transmitted in real-time over an encrypted WebSocket connection solely to synchronize the letter grid and words found between two players.

• No player names, profiles, chat messages, voice data, or personal records are ever requested, transmitted, or stored.

C. Third-Party Advertising SDK (Google AdMob)

The Application includes Google AdMob (provided by Google LLC) to display advertisements (such as optional interstitial ads that reward players with bonus coins for hints).

The Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically process certain technical and device-level identifiers according to Google's own policies, including:

• Pseudonymous device identifiers (such as the Google Advertising ID / GAID)

• Device model, operating system version, and general non-precise location (e.g., country)

• Ad performance and diagnostic metrics (impressions, clicks, error logs)

MDDEVORA does NOT collect, receive, or store your Advertising ID, IP address, or any advertising profile. Google operates independently as a third-party data controller for these ad services.

3. How to Manage and Delete Your Data

Because MDDEVORA does not collect or store any personal data on any server, we do not hold any personal records that we can view, provide, export, modify, or delete.

You have 100% direct control over all data generated by the game right on your device:

1. Delete All Game Data:

   • You can clear all game data at any time by opening your Android device settings:
     Settings → Apps → Word Search Quest → Storage → Clear Data / Clear Storage.

   • Alternatively, uninstalling the Application from your device automatically and permanently deletes all local gameplay records and settings.

2. Reset or Delete Your Google Advertising ID:

   • You can reset or delete your advertising identifier at any time via Android settings:
     Settings → Google → Ads → Reset advertising ID or Delete advertising ID.

   • You can also enable "Opt out of Ads Personalization" in the same menu.

4. International Privacy Regulations Compliance

A. European Economic Area (EEA) & GDPR Compliance

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Zero Data Collection by Developer: MDDEVORA does not collect, store, or process personal data of EU/EEA citizens.

• No Data to Access or Erase: Because we do not store personal data on any server, requests to access, rectify, export, or delete personal data from our servers are not applicable.

• Advertising Consent: Any personalized advertising served by Google AdMob adheres to Google's EU User Consent Policy and applicable consent mechanisms.

B. United Kingdom (UK GDPR & Data Protection Act 2018)

• We comply with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.

• MDDEVORA does not hold or process personal data of UK residents.

• For questions regarding third-party ad processing, UK residents may contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at https://ico.org.uk.

C. California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA / CalOPPA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

• We Do Not Sell or Share Personal Information: MDDEVORA does not collect personal information, and therefore does not sell, rent, or share personal information of California consumers with any party for monetary or commercial consideration.

• Consumer Requests: Since no personal information is collected, maintained, or stored by MDDEVORA, there are no consumer records to disclose or delete.

5. Children's Privacy (COPPA & Google Play Families Policy)

Word Search Quest is a family-friendly puzzle game suitable for all ages:

• We do NOT collect personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the EEA/UK).

• There are no registration forms, social logins, profile creation, or open communication channels (no chat, messaging, or voice) in the app.

• Third-party advertising requests via Google AdMob are configured to adhere to Google Play Families Policy and COPPA standards.

6. Security

Because Word Search Quest does not collect or store personal data on external servers, your personal data is not at risk of server-side data leaks or unauthorized external access through MDDEVORA. All local gameplay storage is protected by standard Android application sandboxing.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any updates will be reflected by the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and posted on our official website at https://www.mddevora.com.
