Sort Mania Privacy Policy

This policy applies to the Sort Mania Android app.

It covers information handled by the app, the Unity Ads SDK, Android backup, notifications, and user-initiated sharing. Third-party services operate under their own privacy policies.

Gameplay data stays primarily on your device.

We do not ask for your name, precise location, contacts, photos, microphone recordings, or camera content through normal Sort Mania gameplay.

Android stores and may back up app progress.

Sort Mania stores game progress and preferences in private app storage. The current app configuration allows selected progress and preference files to participate in Android cloud backup and device-to-device transfer. Depending on your device and Google backup settings, Google may store a backup associated with your device or Google account and restore it on a compatible device. Google protects backups with Google Account credentials; end-to-end encryption based on a device screen lock is available only on supported Android versions and configurations.

You can manage Android backup through device settings. Clearing Sort Mania's storage or uninstalling it removes the local copy, but an Android backup may remain under Google's retention rules and could later be restored. Resetting progress inside the app changes the relevant local game records but does not control copies already held by independent service providers.

Sort Mania uses the Unity Ads SDK.

The app displays interstitial ads after eligible gameplay events and optional rewarded ads. A rewarded-ad benefit is granted only after the Unity Ads SDK reports successful completion. Unity and its advertising partners may process ad impressions and interactions, IP-derived approximate location, device or advertising identifiers, app usage timing, and diagnostics to deliver and measure ads, limit frequency, detect fraud, maintain security, and personalize advertising where permitted.

Unity Ads may present its own privacy or consent interface where required. Depending on your region, you may be able to consent, decline consent, or opt out of targeted advertising or certain data processing. Choosing contextual or limited ads may reduce personalization but does not necessarily remove ads or processing required for security, fraud prevention, compliance, and basic delivery.

Unity explains its practices and available privacy controls in the Unity Privacy Policy and Unity Ads privacy documentation. You can also manage or reset the Android advertising identifier and related ad settings through your device or Google settings where available.

Permissions support reminders, ads, and sharing.

• Notifications: optional permission used for the daily challenge reminder. You can deny or disable it in Android settings.
• Receive boot completed: lets the app restore an enabled local daily reminder after the device restarts.
• Internet and network state: supplied through the advertising SDK and used for ad delivery, privacy choices, diagnostics, and linked web services.

Sharing

When you choose to share the app or a game result, Sort Mania creates plain text and opens Android's share sheet. Nothing is sent until you choose a destination app. The selected app then handles the shared content under its own policy.

Privacy-policy website

Opening this page sends ordinary web-request information, such as IP address, browser/device details, requested URL, and time of request, to the website host and content providers needed to serve the page, including the externally hosted fonts and images used by this site.

Information is used to operate and protect the game.

• Save gameplay, settings, balances, inventory, and cosmetic selections.
• Deliver daily reminders and user-requested sharing.
• Request and record advertising consent choices.
• Load, display, measure, and secure interstitial and rewarded ads.
• Diagnose failures, maintain security, respond to support requests, and comply with law.

Where applicable, processing may rely on performance of a contract (delivering the game), consent (certain personalized advertising), legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention, and service improvement), and compliance with legal obligations.

We do not sell your gameplay progress.

We may disclose or allow processing of limited information by:

• Google Play: app distribution, installation, updates, licensing, and platform security.
• Unity Ads and its advertising partners: privacy choices, ad delivery, personalization where allowed, measurement, frequency controls, fraud prevention, security, and diagnostics.
• Android/Google backup services: protected app-data backup and device transfer when enabled by you and supported by your device; the available encryption level depends on Android version, screen-lock, and backup configuration.
• Hosting and infrastructure providers: delivery and security of this privacy website.
• Authorities or professional advisers: when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights and safety, investigate fraud, or manage a business transaction.
• Apps you select: content you intentionally send using Android's share sheet.

We do not disclose local level progress or settings to advertising providers for ad targeting. Some privacy laws may define personalized advertising disclosures as “sharing” or a “sale” even when no money is exchanged. Where required, available consent and privacy controls can be used to opt out.

Retention depends on where the information is held.

• Local game data: remains until changed in the app, reset, cleared through Android settings, overwritten by restore, or removed by uninstalling.
• Android backups: are controlled through Android/Google backup settings and retained under Google's rules.
• Advertising and consent data: is retained by Unity and participating advertising providers according to their policies and legal obligations.
• Privacy-site request logs: may be retained by the website host for a limited period needed to deliver and secure the site, diagnose errors, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations.
• Support correspondence: may be retained while needed to resolve the request and for reasonable legal, security, or recordkeeping purposes.

Because the current app has no SWFN Studio account or gameplay server, we generally cannot identify or remotely delete game progress stored only on your device. You can remove it using the app's reset option, Android's Clear storage control, or uninstall. For support correspondence or information processed by an independent provider, contact us or the relevant provider; verification may be required.

You can control optional permissions and request privacy assistance.

• Decline or disable notification permission and turn off the daily reminder.
• Use privacy or consent controls presented by Unity Ads when available.
• Manage ad personalization, the Android advertising ID, and Android backup through Google or device settings.
• Avoid optional rewarded ads and continue using core gameplay.
• Choose whether and where to share generated result text.
• Reset local game progress, clear app storage, or uninstall Sort Mania.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or obtain a copy of personal information; withdraw consent; opt out of certain targeted advertising or sharing; or appeal a denied request. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority. These rights may be subject to legal exceptions.

To submit a request, email us using the contact details below. We may ask for reasonable verification. Authorized agents should provide proof of authority where applicable. We will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.

Sort Mania is not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through a SWFN Studio account because the app has no such account. Advertising and store services may process limited device or transaction information as described above. Parents or guardians who believe a child provided personal information to us may contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Age thresholds and parental-consent rules vary by country. Distribution settings, ad treatment, and consent configuration should be used consistently with the age group selected for Sort Mania in Google Play Console.

We use reasonable safeguards, but no system is risk-free.

Sort Mania relies on Android private app storage, access controls, and reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the information handled. Unity states that data collected by the Unity Ads SDK is encrypted in transit. Website connections are intended to use HTTPS. No device, transmission, storage system, or security measure can guarantee absolute security.

Unity, advertising providers, Google, hosting services, and other processors may handle information in countries other than yours. Where required, providers and SWFN Studio use recognized safeguards for international transfers, subject to applicable law and each provider's terms.

We will update this policy when relevant features change.

We may revise this policy to reflect changes to Sort Mania, providers, advertising, legal requirements, or data practices. The effective date at the top identifies the current version. Material changes may also be communicated in the app or store listing where appropriate.
