Privacy Policy for Sacred Tiles
This Privacy Policy explains how Sacred Tiles ("the Game", "we", "our") handles your information. We are committed to protecting your privacy. Please read this document carefully.
## 1. Overview
Sacred Tiles is a casual memory card-matching game set in the world of Greek mythology. The Game offers 48 progressive levels across 3 worlds, a daily challenge system, achievement tracking, card collection, and multiple game modes. Sacred Tiles is designed with an offline-first approach: all game progress and preferences are stored exclusively on your device and never transmitted to our servers.
## 2. Data We Do NOT Collect
We do not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:
* Personal identification information (name, email, phone number, etc.)
* Account credentials or authentication tokens
* Device location or GPS coordinates (the Game does not request location permissions)
* Usage analytics, crash reports, or behavioral telemetry
* Advertising identifiers or tracking cookies
* Your gameplay patterns, session times, or in-game choices
## 3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device
The following data is stored only on your device using Android's DataStore, and is never sent to any external server:
* **Game progress**: current level, unlocked levels per world, stars earned (1-3) per level
* **Highscores**: best score per level, all-time high score, fastest level completion time
* **Achievements**: which of the 20 achievements are unlocked and their completion status
* **Card Collection**: which of the 36 Greek mythology cards have been collected in the album
* **Daily Challenge**: last completed date, current daily streak, completed dates history
* **Player profile**: chosen nickname and avatar selection (stored locally only)
* **Mastery rank**: current rank (Mortal / Hero / Demigod / Olympian / Divine)
* **Statistics**: total games played, total wins, total pairs matched, average moves per level
* **Preferences**: theme (Light/Dark/System), sound effects on/off, haptic feedback on/off, difficulty (Easy/Normal/Hard), selected card theme
* **Currency**: total coins balance, unlocked card themes
All locally stored data remains under your full control. You may reset game progress via the Settings screen, or uninstall the Game to remove all data permanently.
## 4. Third-Party Services — None
The Game does not communicate with any third-party services. All gameplay, progress tracking, and features work entirely offline. This section does not apply.
## 5. Permissions
The Game requests the following permission(s):
* **`android.permission.VIBRATE`** — used locally for haptic feedback during gameplay events (card match, combo, level complete, game over). No vibration data is collected or transmitted.
The Game does NOT request:
* Location (GPS, coarse, background)
* Camera or microphone
* Contacts
* Phone state or identifiers
* Internet access
* SMS or call log access
* Photos, media, or file access
## 6. No Advertising or Analytics SDKs
Sacred Tiles does not integrate any advertising networks (AdMob, Unity Ads, AppLovin, etc.), analytics SDKs (Firebase Analytics, GameAnalytics, Amplitude, etc.), or third-party tracking libraries. There are no ads of any kind within the Game, and no in-app purchases that require network communication.
## 7. Children's Privacy
The Game does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. Since the Game collects no personal information from any user, it is safe for use by all ages.
## 8. Data Security
Because all game progress and user-generated data is stored locally on your device, the security of that data depends on the security measures provided by the Android operating system and your device (screen lock, encryption, etc.). We do not control how Android handles on-device storage security, but we do not expose any data to external parties.
## 9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in an updated version of this document bundled with a new Game release. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly. Continued use of the Game after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
