Privacy Policy

Scope

This policy describes information handling in Binarow 1.0 and on its product webpages. Binarow requires no separate account, supports offline core puzzle play, has no third-party advertising, and does not track you across apps or websites.

What stays on your device

Settings, the current board, completed levels, solve times, hints used, practice counts, streaks and achievements are stored locally to provide the game. Binarow does not provide in-app cloud synchronization or automatically upload full game saves or board answers to a developer server.

Optional usage analytics

Usage analytics is off by default. Only after you enable Settings → Help Improve Binarow does Google Analytics for Firebase process game starts and completions, hint use, tutorial activity and Pro interactions to help improve the game. Events may include mode, difficulty, board size, campaign level number, completion time and relevant counts. We do not send board answers, exact daily puzzle dates, names, contact details or a separate account identifier.

The Firebase SDK also processes an app instance identifier, device and app information, session activity, approximate region inferred from IP addresses, and purchase events such as product and price. Data is associated with the app instance identifier. The app disables IDFA and IDFV collection, ad-network registration and advertising consent. This data is not used for personalized advertising. See Firebase Privacy and Security and Google’s Privacy Policy.

Your analytics choices

You can turn off Help Improve Binarow in Settings at any time without limiting play or purchases. This stops future analytics collection and resets local analytics data and the app instance identifier; it does not automatically delete events already received by Google. Analytics retention is managed in the project’s Google Analytics settings, and the service provider processes data under its policies.

Apple purchase services

Apple processes App Store purchases and payments. Binarow receives verified purchase entitlement information to unlock or restore Pro; we do not receive your payment-card details. Purchases and restoration require an internet connection. Apple manages account, transaction and refund information under Apple’s Privacy Policy.

Medal motion and sharing

While an earned medal’s detail is visible, the app may temporarily use device attitude to animate metallic highlights. Motion samples only affect the on-device visual, are not stored, and are not sent to analytics. These effects are reduced or stopped when sensors are unavailable or Reduce Motion is enabled.

Only when you choose to share does the system share sheet send a result, such as the puzzle name, completion time and hints used, to the destination you select. The shared result does not include the board solution. The destination app or service has its own privacy practices.

Retention, reset and removal

Settings → Reset Local Progress deletes local puzzle records and statistics and cannot be undone. It keeps settings and purchase entitlements and recalculates milestone board styles. Removing the app normally removes its local data; system backups may retain copies controlled through your backup settings.

Resetting progress does not cancel an Apple purchase or delete Apple-managed transaction records. Restoring purchases restores Pro, not puzzle progress.

Website and system services

These product pages contain no analytics scripts, remote fonts or ads. Website hosting may process network logs such as IP address, request time and browser information to serve pages. Apple manages App Store downloads, system diagnostics and device backups under its policies and your system settings, separately from the app’s local save.

Updates and help

If information handling changes, we will update this page and its update date. For common gameplay, local-progress and purchase questions, see Binarow help and support.
