Summary: ShapesSudoku stores puzzle progress, statistics, preferences, Premium status, and optional backups on your device. The current mobile implementation uses Google Mobile Ads for interstitial advertising and connects to Apple App Store or Google Play for an optional non-consumable Premium purchase. It does not request camera, microphone, contacts, or location access and does not require a Choral Software account.
Information stored on your device
ShapesSudoku may locally store completion times, puzzles won, current and best streaks, daily-challenge history, selected theme, Zen Mode preference, Premium-entitlement status, and other game settings. This information is stored in the app’s sandbox using Unity preferences and a local JSON save file. Choral Software does not operate a ShapesSudoku account or cloud-sync server that receives this game data during ordinary use.
Local backups
If you use the backup feature, ShapesSudoku creates timestamped copies of the save file inside the app’s private on-device storage. The reviewed implementation does not upload those backups or expose them through a share sheet. You can delete individual backups in the app where supported, clear the app’s data, or uninstall the app. Device-level backup behavior depends on your Apple or Google settings.
Advertising
The non-Premium experience uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK and may display AdMob interstitial advertisements after completed puzzles. Google and its advertising partners may process information such as IP address, device and advertising identifiers, approximate location derived from network information, ad interactions, product interactions, consent signals, fraud-prevention information, crash data, performance data, and diagnostics. Depending on your region, device settings, consent choices, and Google’s configuration, this information may be used to deliver, secure, measure, or personalize advertising. Premium is designed to remove in-game interstitial ads.
Analytics and diagnostics
The Unity project includes Unity runtime analytics capabilities and is configured to permit analytics submission. Unity or platform services may process device information, app interactions, session information, crash or performance information, and diagnostics when those services are active in a distributed build. ShapesSudoku does not contain a separate first-party analytics account system, and Choral Software does not intentionally attach locally stored puzzle history or backup contents to advertising or analytics requests.
Purchases
ShapesSudoku includes an optional, non-consumable Premium Edition purchase. Apple App Store or Google Play processes product information, billing, receipts, purchase restoration, and payment details. The app receives purchase status and receipt information needed to grant or restore the entitlement and stores the entitlement state locally. Choral Software does not receive your full payment-card information.
Permissions and device access
The reviewed app implementation does not request camera, microphone, precise location, contacts, photos, or health-data permission. Internet access is used by advertising, store-purchase, and platform-service components.

Sharing, sale, and tracking
Choral Software does not sell locally stored ShapesSudoku puzzle progress or backup files. Advertising data processed by Google or its partners may constitute “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or tracking under some laws depending on configuration and consent. Platform and advertising privacy controls may limit certain uses.
Retention, deletion, and choices
Local game data remains until you reset or delete it, clear app storage, or uninstall, subject to operating-system backup behavior. Third parties retain advertising, purchase, analytics, and diagnostic information according to their own policies. You may use applicable device and advertising privacy controls, purchase Premium to remove in-game interstitial ads, or contact info@choralsoft.com about information held directly by Choral Software.
Children
ShapesSudoku is a general-audience puzzle game and is not directed to children under 13. Choral Software does not knowingly collect personal information from children through a ShapesSudoku account because the app has no such account system. Advertising and platform providers apply their own age-related requirements and controls.
Security and international processing
Local information is protected by the safeguards of your device and operating system. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure. Third-party providers may process information in other countries under their own safeguards.
Changes
We may update this policy as ShapesSudoku, applicable law, or third-party services change. We will revise the effective date and may provide an additional notice for material changes.
