Crown & Castle Match

Privacy Policy

Effective date:

The short version

Crown & Castle Match ("the app") is published by Devflovv. The app is a native Android match-3 puzzle game for one player that plays fully offline, with unlimited, procedurally generated levels, a castle to restore, daily rewards and events. We collect no personal information and no usage data.

  • We collect no data, and the app sends none to us or to anyone else.
  • No account, no login, no sign-in.
  • No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising SDKs, no tracking.
  • No internet permission, and no network connections.
  • This version has no in-app purchases and no ads, and no ad network is contacted.
  • Your progress is stored by the app on your device. If you use Android device backup or device transfer, Android may copy it into your own backup or to your new device.

What we collect

Nothing. The app does not collect, transmit or share any personal or usage data, and we never receive your progress, your display name or your settings. It contains no advertising, analytics or crash reporting software development kits (SDKs), and no other third-party code that collects data.

Permissions

The app does not request the internet permission and makes no network connections, so the app itself cannot connect to any server, ours or anyone else's.

It declares one permission for its own features:

  • Vibration (VIBRATE), for haptic feedback on matches and blasts. It is on by default, and you can turn it off with the Vibration switch in Settings.

An internal permission added by Android libraries

The AndroidX libraries the app is built with also add one internal permission, DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION. It belongs to the app itself, is limited to apps signed with the same key, and keeps the app's internal messages private. It gives the app no access to your personal information and no internet access.

What is stored on your device, and why

To keep your game going, the app saves the following in a single save file in its private storage on your device. None of it is sent to us.

  • Your game progress: levels reached, stars, coins, boosters, lives, castle progress, and your progress in events, the Royal Pass, daily rewards, daily tasks and Tower Climb.
  • Your statistics, such as games played and won.
  • The display name you type and the avatar you pick from the game's built-in avatars. You do not have to change the name, and you do not need to use your real one.
  • Your settings, such as sound, music, vibration, text size, hint delay and board theme.

Android backup and device transfer

Android backup is turned on for this app. The app has no internet permission, so this is done by Android, not by the app, and only if backup is on for your device.

If you use Android device backup, your device may include the app's save file in your personal backup. The same file may be copied when you move to a new device with Android's device transfer. It holds everything listed in the section above, including your display name.

If a backup or transfer is restored, your saved game and settings can return, for example after you reinstall the app or set up a new phone.

Whether this happens, and where a backup is kept, depends on your device settings and your backup service. We never receive your backup and cannot view or delete it. Your backup provider, such as Google, handles it under its own privacy policy.

Purchases and ads

This version of the app has no in-app purchases and shows no ads. The Shop sells boosters and lives for coins you earn in the game; no payment is ever taken, nothing is charged, and Google Play's billing system is not used. The extra moves offered when you run out are an in-game bonus: no ad is loaded and no ad network is contacted.

Before any advertising or billing SDK is added to the app, this policy will be updated to describe it.

Daily rewards, events and lives

Daily rewards, daily tasks, the daily puzzle, events, Tower Climb and the refilling of lives use only your device's date and clock. Nothing is fetched from a server.

Notifications and ratings

The Settings screen has a Notifications switch, but this version shows no notifications and does not ask for permission to show them. The in-game rating prompt does not send your rating anywhere.

Sharing and selling

We do not share, sell, rent or trade any data, because we do not collect any.

Third parties

The app contains no advertising networks, analytics services or crash reporting services. If you install the app from Google Play, Google handles the download and updates under Google's own privacy policy.

Children's privacy

The game is made to be suitable for everyone, and it collects no personal information from anyone, children included. It has no chat, no user-generated content and no way to contact other players. The only text a player can type is the display name, which is saved with the game and never sent to us. Because nothing is collected, there is no personal information about a child for us to hold, review or delete.

How to delete your data

You can remove the app's data from your device at any time:

  • Use "Reset progress" in the app's Settings. This erases your saved game, including your progress, coins, boosters, castle and event progress, display name, avatar and settings, and starts again from Level 1. It cannot be undone.
  • Clear the app's storage in your device's Android settings.
  • Uninstall the app to delete all of its data from your device.

Copies in a backup

None of the steps above removes a copy already held in your device backup, and we cannot remove it for you. To delete one, use the backup settings on your device or in your backup account.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
