Privacy Policy

Akari · Android / Google Play · Effective and last updated October 31, 2026

1. Who we are and scope

AKARI: Light Logic Puzzle is developed by İbrahim Yüce, trading as Stargazer Apps (“we”, “us”). This policy covers the Android app with package identifier com.stargazer.akari and these support pages. Contact [email protected] for privacy questions or requests.

2. Information stored locally

The app stores your current boards and moves, cell marks, elapsed time, hint usage, coins, reward claims, collection progress, statistics, experience, ranks, achievements, tutorial status, and preferences. Preferences include language, appearance, sound, haptics, and reminder settings. It also stores limited purchase SDK state and the welcome-offer deadline. Core game processing runs on your device.

There is no developer-operated game account or progress-sync service. Android or your device provider may include local app data in system backups according to your device settings; those backups are governed by that provider’s policy.

3. Optional rewarded advertising

Google AdMob serves ads when a standard-game player chooses an available rewarded-ad action. AdMob and its advertising partners may process advertising identifiers, IP addresses and approximate location inferred from them, device and app information, ad interactions, diagnostics, and consent choices to deliver, measure, and protect advertising. The exact processing depends on your region, consent, device settings, and the ad providers involved.

Where required, Google’s User Messaging Platform presents privacy choices before ads can be requested. Personalization choices do not necessarily prevent all advertising or all technical processing. You can also review Android’s advertising-ID and ad-privacy controls. Premium removes the app’s rewarded-ad actions, but does not disable the separate purchase-verification service or production usage analytics.

4. Usage analytics

When configured and enabled in a production build, the app uses Google Analytics for Firebase to help us understand reliability and use of features. Our custom events cover tutorials, puzzle starts and completions, mode and difficulty, elapsed time, hints, coin changes, settings changes, and confirmed ad rewards. We do not add your name, email address, raw board contents, cell positions, or free-form text to these custom events.

The Analytics SDK can also process automatically collected app and device metadata, app-instance identifiers, interactions, diagnostics, and general location information. These technical identifiers are not the same as an account name, but should not be treated as a guarantee of anonymity. Internal testing builds disable this app’s Firebase Analytics collection. The current app does not provide a separate in-app analytics toggle.

5. Purchases and RevenueCat

Google Play processes purchases, billing, renewals, cancellations, and refunds under Google’s terms. When purchases are enabled, RevenueCat verifies purchase tokens and transaction status and tells the app whether Premium is active. When configured, its SDK creates a random app-user identifier and may contact RevenueCat when the app starts, even if you have not purchased anything.

Relevant data includes the SDK-generated identifier, product and transaction identifiers, purchase tokens, purchase and expiry dates, renewal or refund status, store and currency information, and basic app, platform, country, and usage timestamps. A network request also necessarily exposes connection information to the receiving service. We do not send RevenueCat your game boards, marks, name, email address, or Google account credentials. We do not enable RevenueCat advertising-attribution integrations or send it an advertising ID through our app code.

We can view limited purchase and subscription records in service dashboards for entitlement management and support. We do not receive full payment-card numbers, security codes, or your Google password.

6. Reminders, sound, and permissions

Daily reminders are local notifications. Enabling them asks for notification permission when required by Android; the selected time and language are used to schedule notifications on the device. The feature does not upload a reminder schedule or require a marketing push-notification service. You can turn reminders off in the app or change notification permission in Android settings.

Sound effects and haptics are local feedback. The app does not ask to access your microphone, camera, contacts, photos, or precise location for gameplay.

Google Play Games (optional, where available)

If enabled in your version, Google Play Games can show your platform profile and synchronize earned achievements after you explicitly link a profile. Google processes the profile identifier, authentication state, and achievement unlocks under its policies. The app stores a local profile-ownership identifier to avoid sending your achievements to a different account. Your profile name may appear locally in the connection UI; it is not added to our custom analytics events. Play Games achievements do not back up your coin balance, puzzle sessions, or other local progress. Gameplay does not require you to create an account with us.

7. Support communications

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include, such as a device model, app version, screenshot, or order reference. We use this to investigate and respond to your request. Do not send passwords, full payment-card details, or unnecessary personal information. Our email provider processes these messages to deliver and store correspondence.

8. Purposes and legal grounds

We use information to provide the game, remember preferences, verify purchases, restore access, respond to support, understand product use, and prevent errors or misuse. Where applicable law requires it, we rely on consent for relevant advertising or analytics processing. Other processing may be necessary to provide a requested purchase or service, meet legal obligations, or pursue legitimate interests such as support and security, subject to your rights.

9. Service providers and disclosures

Information is processed by the providers described here for their relevant functions. We do not sell customer lists. Advertising services may use data for personalized ads where permitted; legal definitions of “sale”, “sharing”, or targeted advertising differ by jurisdiction, so review the consent and device controls available to you.

• Google Privacy Policy and Google services on partner apps — Google Play, AdMob, Analytics, and optional Play Games.
• Firebase privacy information — Firebase services and Analytics context.
• RevenueCat Privacy Policy and RevenueCat’s Google Play data disclosure guide — purchase verification.
• Cloudflare Privacy Policy — hosting and delivery of these support pages.

10. Retention and international processing

Local records remain until changed, cleared, or removed through your device, subject to system backups. Removing the app does not automatically erase provider-held transaction records or cancel a subscription. Provider retention varies by service and its settings; purchase and support records may be retained where needed for access, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or legal obligations. Contact us for a deletion or retention request rather than assuming uninstalling deletes remote records.

Providers may process data in countries outside your country of residence. Their policies describe international processing and applicable safeguards. We do not promise that all data stays on your device or in one country.

11. Your choices and rights

• Use Android settings to clear local app data, control notifications, and manage advertising privacy. Clearing data can permanently remove your game progress.
• Manage or cancel subscriptions in Google Play. Use Restore purchases in the app to recover eligible access.
• Use advertising consent choices when presented or available, and contact us if you need help reviewing a choice.
• Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, receive a copy of, or restrict or object to processing of personal data, and to withdraw consent. You may also complain to your relevant data-protection authority.

Send requests to [email protected]. Because records may use technical identifiers rather than a name, we may need limited information to locate and verify the relevant record. We will explain any applicable limits or retention obligations.

12. Children

The app does not require children or other players to submit names, contact details, or a public profile. Parents and guardians should review device purchase controls, advertising choices, and notification permissions before a child plays. If you believe a child has provided personal information through support or a connected service, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

13. Security and this website

Connections to the providers use HTTPS. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure; protect your device and store account. These static support pages have no forms or advertising. Cloudflare delivers the site and may process IP addresses and normal connection or security logs, provide email-address protection scripts, and collect website traffic or performance metrics through Cloudflare Web Analytics. This website processing is separate from the game’s Firebase Analytics.

14. Changes and contact

We update the date above when this policy changes and provide additional notice or request consent where required. For questions about the app, this policy, or your rights, contact İbrahim Yüce at [email protected].
