Privacy Policy

Effective date: 27 October 2026

This policy explains how the Hueway puzzle game ("Hueway", "the app"), published by Akansha Sharma ("we", "us"), handles information. It applies to the app on Android and iOS and to this website.

In short: Hueway has no accounts and no servers of its own. Your game progress stays on your device. Ads are provided by Google AdMob, which may collect device and usage data to show and measure ads.

1. Information stored on your device

The app saves your level progress, stars, lives, boosters, daily-challenge results, settings and your privacy choices on your device only. We do not receive or store this information. Uninstalling the app deletes it, and you can also reset it in Settings → Reset all progress.

2. Gameplay statistics

If you choose "Allow anonymous stats", the app records anonymous gameplay events (such as a level started or completed, the time taken and hints used) to help tune difficulty. These events stay on your device and are not sent to us or to anyone else. Hueway itself does not collect your name, email, contacts, photos, location or device identifiers. You can turn this off at any time in Settings.

3. Advertising (Google AdMob)

Hueway is free and shows ads provided by Google AdMob:

a banner at the bottom of the menu and game screens;
optional rewarded videos, which you choose to watch for lives or boosters;
occasional full-screen ads between levels.

Ads are requested as non-personalised. To serve ads, limit how often you see them, measure them and prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and process:

device identifiers, such as the Android advertising ID;
approximate location derived from your IP address;
app diagnostics and performance data, such as crash logs;
ad interactions, such as ad views and taps.

This data is collected and handled by Google, not by us, under the Google Privacy Policy. See also How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. Data sent to Google is encrypted in transit.

4. Your choices

Consent (EEA, UK and Switzerland): Google's consent form is shown before any ad is requested. You can change your choice later in Settings → Privacy & ads → Ad privacy options.
Advertising ID (Android): you can reset or delete it in your phone's settings under Privacy → Ads.
iOS: the app does not request App Tracking Transparency permission and does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
Statistics: turn anonymous stats on or off in Settings.
Deleting data: uninstall the app or use Settings → Reset all progress. We hold no copy to delete.

5. Permissions

The Android app uses internet and network-state access (for ads), vibration (for haptic feedback) and the advertising ID permission (used by the ads SDK). It does not request access to your microphone, camera, contacts, photos, files or precise location.

6. Children

Hueway is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us and we will help.

7. Security and retention

Because your progress is stored only on your device, it is kept until you reset it or uninstall the app. Google's retention of advertising data is described in Google's privacy policy.

8. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will post the updated version on this page with a new effective date.
