iLearn Word Puzzle Privacy Policy
This policy explains how iLearn Word Puzzle (the “App”) handles information. The App is a Papiamento vocabulary game with letter puzzles, word building, word search, chapter progress, and collectible Discovery Badges.
1. Information stored on your device
Puzzle progress, discovered words, badges, hint usage, language choices, sound settings, and cached dictionary and music files are stored on your device. The App does not upload saved progress files to a Centropy account or provide cloud saves. Optional usage analytics can include level and game activity as described below. You can reset progress in Settings or remove local data by clearing the App’s storage or uninstalling it. Uninstalling does not cancel a Google Play subscription.
2. Online content and technical requests
The App requests dictionary updates and music from learnpapiamento.com over HTTPS. Like other online services, these requests expose technical connection information, including an IP address, to the hosting and networking providers. The App does not send your puzzle answers or saved progress as part of those content requests.
3. Advertising and privacy choices
The App includes Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) for banner, interstitial, and optional rewarded ads. Google’s SDK may collect and share IP addresses (which can indicate approximate location), app interactions such as launches, taps and video views, diagnostic/performance information, and device or other identifiers, including advertising and app-set identifiers where available and permitted. Google uses this information for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention.
The App configures restricted, child-directed ad requests and a G maximum ad-content rating. These restrictions do not mean that no technical data is processed. Development builds use Google test ads. Builds distributed through Google Play testing tracks may use production ad units. Production builds may use Google’s User Messaging Platform to manage consent and privacy choices where available or required. Available privacy controls depend on your region, device, age-related restrictions, and service configuration.
You can manage advertising identifiers and related privacy settings in Android/Google settings. The App displays privacy-choice controls when Google indicates they are required. See Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s advertising information.
3a. Optional usage analytics
Starting with version 0.2.21, the App includes Google Analytics for Firebase. Analytics collection is off until you choose to allow it, and you can change Usage analytics in Settings at any time. When enabled, Google processes app-instance identifiers, app/device information, first opens, sessions, screen activity, game modes, level starts and completions, word lengths/counts, hint use, language choice, and purchase/restore outcomes. Technical data can include IP-derived approximate location and device/operating-system details. We use these reports to understand usage, retention, and problems and improve the game. We do not send entered answers, names, email addresses, purchase tokens, signed receipts, or full payment details in our custom analytics events. Analytics advertising-ID collection, advertising storage, ad-user-data use, and ad personalization are disabled for this integration. AdMob has its separate behavior and controls described above.
Turning Usage analytics off stops future analytics collection and resets the local analytics instance. It does not automatically erase previously processed reports. Google processes analytics data under its own policies. See Google's Privacy Policy.
3b. Optional push notifications
Starting with version 0.2.21, you may enable Game notifications in Settings and grant Android notification permission where required. Firebase Cloud Messaging processes an app-installation registration token and technical connection/delivery information to deliver game news and updates. We do not use your name or email address for push notifications. Notifications are optional and independent of Usage analytics. Turn them off in the App's Settings or Android notification settings. Disabling them in the App stops automatic registration, unsubscribes from game updates, and requests deletion of the messaging token when connected. Notification interaction measurement is subject to the Usage analytics choice.
4. Optional purchases and subscriptions
When available, Island Pass subscriptions remove ads and provide additional letter hints. Payments, billing, cancellations, and refunds are handled by Google Play. The App does not receive your full payment-card details. It receives purchase and subscription information needed to check, acknowledge, restore, and provide access, such as product identifiers, purchase status, purchase tokens, and signed receipt information. The current App verifies purchase signatures on the device rather than uploading receipts to a Centropy verification server. Google processes purchase information under its own policies.
5. Google Play updates
The App uses Google Play’s in-app update library to check for and offer updates. Google Play may process device metadata, the application version, and installed module information to determine update availability and size. Google’s documentation states that this information is encrypted, is not transferred to third parties, and is deleted after a fixed retention period.
6. Sharing and security
The App relies on Google advertising, consent, billing, update, optional analytics, and optional messaging services, and hosting/network providers that deliver dictionary and music content. Advertising SDK data may be shared with Google and its advertising partners as described above. The App does not include a social profile, chat service, or public player leaderboard. The App’s online content requests use HTTPS; Google documents TLS encryption for data collected by its Mobile Ads SDK. No security measure can guarantee absolute protection.
7. Retention and deletion
Local game data remains on your device until reset, cleared, or uninstalled. Google and other providers retain information they process under their own policies and requirements. This App does not offer an in-app account or a dedicated mechanism to request deletion of third-party advertising or store records. Use Google’s privacy controls or contact the relevant provider for information it controls. You may contact Centropy Studios with privacy questions or to ask about information you have provided directly to us; we cannot directly erase records controlled independently by Google or another provider.
8. Children and families
The App does not ask players to submit personal contact details or create an account to play. Its advertising configuration uses child-directed and under-age-of-consent restrictions. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information directly to us can contact us to request assistance. Purchases are subject to Google Play’s parental and purchase-approval controls.
9. Support and policy changes
If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to include in your message, such as an email address, device details, or screenshots. We use that information to respond and investigate the request. We may update this policy when the App or its services change and will revise the date above.
