Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how TumbleBee Studio ("we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with the mobile application Hue Sort: Color Puzzle (the "App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.

By downloading or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the App.

2. Information We Collect

Hue Sort: Color Puzzle is designed to minimize data collection. We only collect what is strictly necessary for the App to function and improve.

2.1 Information Collected Automatically

When you use the App, the following technical data may be collected automatically through third-party analytics or crash-reporting services:

- Device type, operating system version, and unique device identifiers

- App version and session duration

- Crash logs and error reports

- General geographic region (country or region level only, not precise location)

- In-app events such as level starts, completions, and use of hints or undo actions

2.2 Information You Provide

The App does not require account registration and does not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other personally identifying information. We do not ask you to submit any personal information to use the App.

2.3 Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect or access the following:

- Your precise location or GPS data

- Your contacts, camera, microphone, or photos

- Financial or payment information

- Any content you create outside the App

3. How We Use Information

The data we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

- To operate, maintain, and improve the App's functionality and performance

- To diagnose technical issues and fix bugs through crash reports

- To understand aggregate user behavior and improve game design

- To ensure the App functions correctly across different devices and operating systems

We do not use any collected data for targeted advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond those listed above.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information to third parties. We may share limited technical data with the following categories of service providers, solely to support the App's operation:

- Analytics providers (e.g., to understand crash frequency and usage patterns)

- Cloud infrastructure providers (e.g., for app distribution and update delivery)

Any third-party service providers we engage are contractually required to handle data in accordance with applicable privacy laws and are prohibited from using it for their own independent purposes.

We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe such disclosure is necessary to protect our legal rights or the safety of others.

5. Data Retention and Security

We retain automatically collected technical data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, typically no longer than 12 months, after which it is deleted or anonymized.

We implement reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the data we collect against unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Game progress data (such as completed levels and settings) is stored locally on your device. We do not back up this data to our servers. If you uninstall the App, this locally stored data will be permanently deleted.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding the data we hold. These may include:

- The right to access the data we hold about you

- The right to request correction or deletion of your data

- The right to object to or restrict certain processing of your data

- The right to data portability, where applicable

Because the App does not collect personally identifiable information and does not require account creation, most of these rights can be exercised simply by uninstalling the App, which will remove all locally stored data from your device.

For any privacy-related requests or inquiries, please contact us.

7. Children's Privacy

Hue Sort: Color Puzzle is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction).

The App does not contain features that encourage children to disclose personal information, and we do not direct the App at children as a primary audience. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete such information.

8. Cross-Border Data Transfers

The App may be used globally, and the limited technical data we collect may be processed in countries other than the country in which you reside. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those of your country.

Where data is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure that such transfers comply with applicable legal requirements and that your data remains protected to a standard consistent with this Privacy Policy.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the App's features, or applicable legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will where required by law, provide notice through the App or other appropriate channels.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the App after any changes have been posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
