Introduction

Welcome to Gridlock! This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our puzzle game application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a safe gaming experience.

Information We Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information or game data.

Game Data Storage

All your game progress, settings, and achievements are stored locally on your device and in your personal iCloud account. This data remains under your control and is not accessible to us.

Game Center Integration

If you choose to use Game Center, your achievements and leaderboard standings may be visible to other Game Center users according to Apple's Game Center privacy settings. This is handled entirely by Apple's Game Center service.

Optional Contact Information

• Email address (only if you voluntarily contact us for support)
• Feedback and bug reports (only if you choose to send them)

How We Use Your Information

Since we do not collect any personal information or game data, we have no information to use. The app functions entirely offline and locally on your device.

Support Communications

If you contact us for support, we will only use your email address to respond to your inquiry. We do not store or use this information for any other purpose.

Data Storage and Security

Since we do not collect or store any of your data, there is no data security risk from our services. Your game data is stored locally on your device and in your personal iCloud account, which is protected by Apple's security measures.

iCloud Storage

If you have iCloud enabled, your game progress may be automatically backed up to your personal iCloud account. This is handled entirely by Apple's iCloud service and is subject to Apple's privacy policy and security measures. You can control this through your device's iCloud settings.

Third-Party Services

Gridlock may use the following third-party services:

• Game Center: For achievements and leaderboards (iOS only, optional)
• iCloud: For automatic backup of your game data (if enabled in your device settings)

Note: We do not use any analytics services, crash reporting, or data collection services.

Data Sharing

Since we do not collect any personal information or game data, we have no data to share. The only data sharing that may occur is:

• Game Center: If you choose to use Game Center, your achievements and leaderboard standings may be visible to other Game Center users according to your Game Center privacy settings
• iCloud: Your game data may be synced across your own devices through your personal iCloud account

Your Rights and Choices

Since we do not collect any personal data, your rights are simple:

• Game Center: You can disable Game Center integration in your device settings if you don't want achievements and leaderboards to be shared
• iCloud: You can disable iCloud backup for Gridlock in your device's iCloud settings
• Local Data: You can delete the app at any time, which will remove all local game data
• Support: You can choose not to contact us for support, in which case we will have no information about you

Children's Privacy

Gridlock is suitable for all ages. Since we do not collect any personal information, there are no privacy concerns for children. All game data remains on the child's device or in their family's iCloud account.

International Users

Since we do not collect or process any personal data, there are no international data transfer concerns. The app functions entirely locally on your device.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy in the app or on our website. Your continued use of Gridlock after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
