Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2, 2026 · App: Numcross (com.pddevelop.numcross)

This Privacy Policy explains how PDDevelop (“we”, “us”) handles information in connection with the mobile game Numcross. We aim to keep data collection minimal and focused on running the game, processing store purchases, and showing ads.

1. Information we use

Numcross is designed to work primarily with non-personal and device-level data:

• Gameplay data stored on your device — such as campaign progress, stars, daily streak, gem balance, theme choice, settings (including haptics), and in-progress boards. This stays on your device unless you clear app data or uninstall the app.
• Advertising and measurement data via Google AdMob — including advertising identifiers / device IDs, approximate location derived from IP address, device type, OS version, app version, and interaction with ads (for example impressions and clicks).
• Purchase receipts — processed by Google Play or the App Store when you buy Remove Ads or gem packs. We do not receive your full payment card details.
• Consent choices — in regions that require it (for example the EEA, UK, and Switzerland), a Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) form may record whether you allow personalized ads.
• Technical diagnostics — limited crash or performance information that may be collected by the platform or ad SDKs to keep the app stable.

We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not intentionally collect your name, postal address, or government ID. There is no analytics SDK of our own in this version of the app.

2. Advertising (Google AdMob)

Numcross may show ads through Google AdMob, including banner, interstitial, and rewarded ads, unless you have purchased Remove Ads. Google and its partners may use cookies, advertising IDs, and similar technologies to:

• serve and measure ads;
• limit how often you see the same ad;
• combat fraud and abuse;
• personalize ads where allowed by your device, consent, and regional settings.

For more detail, see Google’s Privacy Policy and AdMob & privacy. You can also review how Google uses data from partners.

3. Device IDs and non-personal data

Advertising partners may process device advertising identifiers (for example Android Advertising ID) and other non-personal technical signals. These identifiers help deliver ads and measure performance. They are not used by us to identify you by name.

You can reset or limit ad personalization in your device settings (for example Android: Settings → Google → Ads, or equivalent privacy controls on your device and region).

4. How we use information

• to operate and improve the game experience;
• to display rewarded and other ads that support free play;
• to process and restore in-app purchases;
• to honor consent choices for advertising where required;
• to respond to support or data requests you send by email.

5. Data sharing

We do not sell your personal information. Limited technical, advertising, and purchase data is processed by service providers such as Google AdMob and Google Play / Apple as needed to show ads, process payments, and run the app. Those providers process data under their own policies.

6. Data retention

Local game progress remains on your device until you clear it or uninstall. Advertising and measurement retention is controlled by the relevant SDK / platform providers according to their policies. Purchase entitlements such as Remove Ads remain tied to your store account. Support emails we receive are kept only as long as needed to help you.

7. Children’s privacy

Numcross is a general-audience puzzle game. It is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

8. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

• request access to personal data we hold about you;
• request correction or deletion of personal data;
• object to or restrict certain processing;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• lodge a complaint with a local data protection authority.

To exercise these rights, email us at pddevelop.games@gmail.com with the subject line “Numcross Privacy Request” and include your Android package name (com.pddevelop.numcross) and enough detail for us to understand your request. For deletion-specific steps, see our Data Deletion Instructions.

9. International processing

Advertising, store, and infrastructure partners may process data on servers located outside your country. Where required, appropriate safeguards are handled by those providers under applicable law.

10. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
