Privacy
Privacy Policy
This policy explains what data the InfiKabe app (package io.github.infikabe), a puzzle
game for Android, collects, how it is used, and what your rights are. By using the app, you agree to the practices
described here. If this English version and the
Portuguese version differ, the Portuguese version prevails.
- InfiKabe does not ask for sign-up, name, email, or password.
- Your game progress is saved only on your device.
- Ads are served by Google AdMob, which may collect your advertising ID and device data. In Europe and the UK, you choose whether to allow personalized ads.
- In-app purchases are processed by Google Play; we never receive your card details.
1. Who is responsible
InfiKabe is developed and published by Jimy Neufeld Lindner, an individual developer, who is the controller of the data described in this policy.
Contact: infikabe@gmail.com
2. Data stored on your device
The game stores your progress (solved levels, unlocked worlds, hints) and your preferences (such as sound and music) in the device's internal storage. This data is not sent to the developer or to third parties. It is deleted when you clear the app's data or uninstall it.
3. Advertising (Google AdMob)
InfiKabe is free and supported by ads provided by Google AdMob, from Google LLC. To show ads, measure their performance, and prevent fraud, the AdMob SDK may automatically collect and process:
- the Android advertising ID;
- IP address and approximate location derived from it;
- device information (model, operating system, language, carrier, connection type);
- ad interactions (impressions, taps) and SDK diagnostics and crash data.
This data is handled by Google under the Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. The developer has no access to individual data collected by AdMob, only to aggregated reports.
The game may show rewarded ads, which you choose to watch to earn hints, and interstitial ads between levels, never in the middle of a puzzle.
Consent and personalized ads
For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, the game shows Google's consent form (User Messaging Platform, certified under the IAB TCF) the first time it opens. You can accept or refuse personalized ads and change your choice later from the game menu. If you refuse, non-personalized or limited ads may be shown.
In any country, you can reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings (Settings › Google › Ads or Settings › Privacy › Ads).
4. In-app purchases
InfiKabe may offer a one-time “remove ads” purchase. Payment is handled entirely by Google Play; the developer does not receive your card number or other payment details. The app only asks Google Play whether the purchase was made, so it can be restored. See the Google Privacy Policy.
5. How data is used and legal basis
| Purpose | Data | Legal basis (GDPR / LGPD) |
|---|---|---|
| Save progress and preferences | Progress, settings (device only) | Providing the service you requested |
| Show personalized ads | Advertising ID, device data, IP | Consent (where required) |
| Show non-personalized ads, measurement, fraud prevention | Device data, IP, interactions | Legitimate interest |
| Process and restore purchases | Purchase status from Google Play | Performance of a contract |
| Answer support messages | Your email and what you write | Legitimate interest / providing the service |
6. Sharing
The developer does not sell personal data. The data described above is shared only with Google (AdMob and Google Play) and, through AdMob mediation, with Google-certified ad partners, who may be located outside your country (for example, in the United States). These transfers rely on the safeguards adopted by Google, such as standard contractual clauses.
For users in California and other US states: using data for personalized ads may count as “sharing” under local laws. You can opt out by turning off personalized ads in Android settings or by contacting us.
7. Children
InfiKabe is intended for people 13 years or older and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has sent us personal data, email infikabe@gmail.com and it will be deleted.
8. Retention and security
Progress data stays on your device until you delete it. Data collected by AdMob is retained by Google under its own policies. Messages sent to the support email are kept only as long as needed to handle the request. All communication between the ad SDK and Google's servers is encrypted (HTTPS).
9. Your rights
Under the GDPR, Brazil's LGPD (Law 13,709/2018), the CCPA/CPRA, and other applicable laws, you may request access to your data, correction, deletion, portability, information about sharing, and withdraw consent at any time. Since the developer does not keep personal data on its own servers, most of these rights are exercised directly:
- by clearing the app's data or uninstalling it (progress);
- by resetting or deleting your advertising ID in Android (ads);
- by changing your consent choice in the game menu;
- with Google's tools at myaccount.google.com.
For any other request, email infikabe@gmail.com; we reply within 15 days. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
10. Data deletion
InfiKabe has no user accounts. To delete all game data, uninstall the app or go to Settings › Apps › InfiKabe › Storage › Clear data. To request deletion of messages you sent us, email infikabe@gmail.com.
11. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated, for example when the game gets new features. The current version is always on this page, with the last-updated date at the top. Significant changes will also be announced in the app.
