Privacy Policy
Summary. Game progress, settings, statistics, and your Mon balance are stored locally on your device. No account or sign-in is required. The app uses Google AdMob only for optional rewarded video ads that you choose to watch. Some further services are planned for upcoming releases (aggregate analytics, a one-time purchase, and optional Google Play Games achievements); section 5 explains how data will be handled when each is enabled.
1. Who we are and scope
Sumi Bridges is developed by İbrahim Yüce, trading as Stargazer Apps (“we”, “us”). This policy covers the Android app with package identifier com.stargazer.sumibridges.puzzle and these support pages. Contact [email protected] for privacy questions or requests.
2. Information stored locally
The app stores your campaign and puzzle progress, Mon balance and other in-game economy state, achievements, statistics, and your settings (such as theme, sound, and reminder preferences) in local app storage on your device. Core game processing runs on your device. There is no game account, sign-in, or developer-operated save 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 only when you choose a rewarded video action, such as a hint, a Mon boost, doubling a victory or achievement reward, or a cosmetic trial. The app shows no banner or interstitial ads. AdMob and its partners may process your advertising ID, IP address and approximate location inferred from it, device and app information, ad interactions, diagnostics, and consent choices to deliver, measure, and protect advertising, as described in Google’s policies. 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. You can review them any time in Settings → Ad privacy choices, and you can use Android’s advertising-ID and ad-personalization controls. Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
4. Reminders and permissions
The optional daily reminder uses local notifications. Enabling it asks for notification permission where Android requires it; the reminder is scheduled on your device. It does not use a push-notification server and no reminder schedule is uploaded. You can turn it off in the app or in Android settings. The app does not ask for access to your microphone, camera, contacts, photos, or precise location for gameplay.
5. Services planned for upcoming releases
We plan to add the following features in upcoming releases. This section describes how data will be handled when each feature is enabled in the version you install; a feature that is not yet in your version does not process data.
- Analytics. Google Analytics for Firebase will provide aggregate product-usage and reliability information, such as which features are used. We do not add user IDs, names, email addresses, or puzzle content to our custom events. The Analytics SDK can also process automatically collected app and device metadata and app-instance identifiers, which should not be treated as a guarantee of anonymity.
- One-time purchase. A one-time lifetime purchase called “Zen Master Passport” will be processed by Google Play Billing, with RevenueCat verifying the purchase and entitlement. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID and purchase information such as product and transaction identifiers, purchase tokens, and dates. Google Play processes payment; we never see your payment-card details or Google password.
- Google Play Games Services. Achievement sync will be opt-in. If you enable it, your Google account’s Play Games profile is shown to you, and only achievement unlocks are uploaded to Google Play Games. Your puzzle progress is not uploaded.
We will update this policy and its date when these features ship, and will request consent where required.
6. Support communications
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include, such as a device model, app version, or screenshot. We use this to investigate and respond to your request. Do not send passwords, payment-card details, or unnecessary personal information. Our email provider processes these messages to deliver and store correspondence.
7. Purposes and legal grounds
We use information to provide the game, remember your preferences, deliver rewards you choose, respond to support, and prevent errors or misuse. Where applicable law requires it, we rely on consent for advertising and analytics processing. Other processing may be necessary to provide a requested service, meet legal obligations, or pursue legitimate interests such as support and security, subject to your rights.
8. Service providers and disclosures
Information is processed by the providers described here for their relevant functions. We do not sell customer lists. Legal definitions of “sale”, “sharing”, or targeted advertising differ by jurisdiction, so review the consent and device controls available to you.

- Firebase privacy information — Analytics, when enabled.
- RevenueCat Privacy Policy — purchase verification, when enabled.
- Cloudflare Privacy Policy — hosting and delivery of these support pages.
9. Retention, deletion, and international processing
Local records remain until changed, cleared, or removed through your device, subject to system backups. To delete your local game data, clear the app’s storage in Android settings or uninstall the app. Uninstalling removes the locally stored progress, settings, statistics, and Mon balance, but it does not by itself delete data held by third-party providers: advertising and, once enabled, analytics, purchase, or Play Games data is handled by those providers under their own policies and settings. For a request about data we can access, contact us.
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 in one country.
10. 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.
- Use Settings → Ad privacy choices in the app to review your advertising consent.
- 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 provider records may use technical identifiers rather than a name, we may need limited information to locate the relevant record. We will explain any applicable limits or retention obligations.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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].
