The short version

Traffic Escape Puzzle is a single-player offline puzzle game. It has no accounts, no sign-in and no servers of its own. Your game progress never leaves your phone.

The one exception is advertising: the game shows ads supplied by Google AdMob, and the Google Mobile Ads SDK collects data as described below. If you never connect to the internet, the game still works in full — you simply see no ads.

What we collect

Nothing. We operate no servers, no accounts and no analytics. We receive no personal information about you, and there is no mechanism in the app by which we could.

What the app stores on your device

The game keeps a small database in its private storage on your phone. It stays on the device, is not backed up to us, and is not readable by other apps. It contains only:

  • Your coin balance, lives, and the level you have reached
  • Per-level progress: whether a level is complete, its star rating, your best move count, attempts and hints used
  • Achievement progress and unlock times
  • Daily-reward streak and the date of your last claim
  • Lifetime play statistics (levels completed, total moves, coins earned, time played)
  • Your sound, music and vibration preferences

None of this identifies you. It contains no name, email, phone number, contacts, photos, files, or precise location, because the app never asks for any of them.

You can erase all of it at any time from Settings → Reset Progress, or by uninstalling the app.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The game is free and is paid for by ads. We use Google AdMob to serve banner, interstitial and rewarded ads. Rewarded ads are always optional — you choose to watch one in exchange for coins, a hint, or a life, and nothing in the game requires you to watch an ad to progress.

To serve and measure ads, Google and its advertising partners may collect and process:

  • Your device's advertising identifier (Android Advertising ID)
  • Device information such as model, operating system version, language and screen size
  • IP address, from which an approximate (city-level) location can be derived
  • Ad interaction data — which ads were shown, viewed, or clicked

This processing is carried out by Google as an independent party, under its own policies, not by us. We never see this data in a form that identifies you; we see only aggregate earnings reports.

Your choices about ads

  • Reset or delete your advertising ID: Android Settings → Privacy → Ads. There you can reset the identifier or delete it entirely, which stops it being used to personalise ads.
  • Opt out of personalised ads: the same Android settings screen. You will still see ads, but they will not be personalised.
  • Play offline: with no network connection the ad SDK cannot load anything, and the game remains fully playable.

Permissions the app requests

We write three permissions into the app ourselves:

  • INTERNET — only to load ads. No game feature needs it.
  • AD_ID (advertising ID) — required by Google Play for apps that serve ads.
  • VIBRATE — haptic feedback when a car moves or is blocked. You can turn this off in Settings.

The Google Mobile Ads SDK adds several more of its own, which appear in the installed app because Android merges every library's requirements into one list. We do not use any of them directly, and none gives access to your content:

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE (Google Mobile Ads) — checking whether a connection exists before requesting an ad.
  • ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID, ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION, ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS (Google Mobile Ads) — Android's Privacy Sandbox, Google's replacement for cross-app tracking.
  • WAKE_LOCK (Google Play services measurement) — finishing a short background task if the screen sleeps.
  • FOREGROUND_SERVICE, BIND_JOB_SERVICE, DUMP (AndroidX WorkManager, pulled in by the above) — scheduling deferred background work.

The game itself starts no foreground service and schedules no background work.

The app does not request access to your location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos, files, or any account on your device, and there is no permission in the list above that would allow it to.

Children

Traffic Escape Puzzle is intended for players aged 13 and over. It is not directed at children under 13, it is not part of Google Play's Designed for Families programme, and we do not knowingly collect any information from children.

The app is suitable for a general audience of 13 and over: there is no violent, sexual, or otherwise mature content in the game itself. The age floor exists because the game shows advertising, and the advertising identifier used to serve those ads is not appropriate for children under 13.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child under 13 has used this app, the game stores nothing we can see and nothing that identifies anyone — you can erase everything on the device through Settings → Reset Progress or by uninstalling. You can also reset or delete the device advertising identifier from Android Settings → Privacy → Ads. If you have any concern, contact us at christakyea123@gmail.com and we will act on it.

Data retention and deletion

Because we hold no data about you, there is nothing for us to retain or delete on our side.

Data stored on your device is under your control:

  • Settings → Reset Progress erases all game progress, coins and achievements immediately.
  • Uninstalling the app removes the database entirely.

For data held by Google in connection with advertising, use the Android advertising settings described above, or see Google's privacy policy for how to exercise your rights with them directly.

Security

Game data is stored in the app's private storage area, which Android isolates from other applications. Since no personal data is transmitted by the app, there is no transmission for us to secure.

International transfers

We transfer nothing. Google may process advertising data on servers outside your country; see Google's privacy policy for details of its safeguards.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of personal data held about you, and to object to its processing — for example under the GDPR (EEA/UK) or the CCPA/CPRA (California).

As we hold no personal data about you, we have nothing to disclose, correct or delete. Requests relating to advertising data should be directed to Google using the links above. You are welcome to contact us at christakyea123@gmail.com with any question and we will help where we can.

We do not sell or share personal information, and we have never done so.

Changes to this policy

If the app's data practices change — for example if we add analytics, cloud saves or purchases — we will update this policy and change the effective date at the top. Material changes will also be noted in the app's Play Store listing.
