Usog Numero privacy policy
Summary
Usog Numero is a sliding-tile puzzle game for one player: boards from 3x3 to 6x6 with numbered or picture tiles, a guided lesson and a daily puzzle. It has no accounts, no sign-in and no developer server. Your game progress stays on your device. The game shows optional ads through Google AdMob, which collects some device data as described below.
Data on your device
Usog Numero saves the following on your device only: your settings (sound, music, volumes, vibration, left-handed layout, hint and display options), your last board size, shuffle and tile-face choices, simple play statistics (puzzles solved, best time and fewest moves for each board size, daily streak, time spent solving), which daily puzzles you have completed, whether you have seen the first-run lesson, and the unfinished puzzles you left, stored as the tile positions and a short list of moves so you can continue later. This data is not sent to us or to anyone else. It is removed when you clear the app's storage or uninstall the app. The Settings screen includes a reset option for statistics, the daily streak and saved puzzles.
Advertising and consent
Usog Numero shows ads using the Google AdMob SDK (Google Mobile Ads) and the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) for consent: a small banner on the main menu, an occasional full-screen ad after a finished puzzle, and an optional rewarded video that you choose to watch to get one extra hint. No banner or automatic ad is shown while you are solving a puzzle. The game works without ads and without an internet connection.
When ads are requested, Google and its advertising partners may collect and process, depending on your consent and region: your Advertising ID, IP address (and the approximate location derived from it), device and operating system information, app version, and information about how ads were shown and interacted with, including crash and performance diagnostics. Google uses this to serve and measure ads, to limit ad frequency, to prevent fraud and, where you have allowed it, to personalise ads. We do not receive this data about you from the game, we do not run our own analytics and we do not combine ad data with game data.
See Google's explanation of how it uses data from apps that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and the Google Privacy Policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
Your choices
- Where required (for example in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom), Usog Numero shows a Google consent message the first time you open the app, and no ads are requested until your choice allows it. If you decline, the game stays fully playable.
- Where the consent platform requires it, a Privacy options entry appears in Usog Numero's Settings so you can review or change your choice at any time.
- On Android you can reset your Advertising ID or opt out of ads personalisation in the device settings (Settings > Privacy > Ads, wording varies by device).
- You can play in airplane mode: no ads are loaded and nothing else changes.
Permissions
Usog Numero uses the Internet and network-state permissions so that ads can load, the Advertising ID permission (and the related Android ad-services permissions) so that ads can be served and measured, and the vibration permission for optional haptic feedback, which you can turn off in Settings. The Google ads library also declares wake-lock and foreground-service permissions for its own background ad tasks; Usog Numero itself runs no foreground service. The game does not request your location, contacts, photos, microphone or camera. Android's standard device backup may copy the local game data described above to your own Google account if you have backup turned on; we have no access to those backups.
Sharing and retention
We do not sell your data and we do not share any data from the game with third parties, other than the data Google AdMob collects as described above. Local game data is kept until you clear it or uninstall the app. Data processed by Google is kept according to Google's policies. To ask about or request deletion of any data we might hold, write to the contact address below; we hold no server-side game data.
Children
Usog Numero is intended for players aged 13 and over and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has used the app, please contact us and clear the app data and the Advertising ID on the device.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
