Privacy Policy

Welcome to Hymnal Word Puzzle. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use our app, how it is used, and your rights regarding that information. By using the app, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Hymnal Word Puzzle does not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to play.

The following data may be collected automatically through the third-party services integrated in the app:

• Device information — device type, operating system version, and unique device identifiers
• Usage data — features used, session duration, and in-app interactions
• Advertising data — ad impressions, interactions, and identifiers collected by Google AdMob
• Crash reports — technical error logs used to improve app stability

Information collected is used solely for the following purposes:

• To operate and improve the app experience
• To display advertisements through Google AdMob
• To analyse app performance and diagnose technical issues
• To send optional push notifications (only if you grant permission)

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information to any third party.

Hymnal Word Puzzle uses the following third-party services that may collect data independently under their own privacy policies:

We use Firebase Remote Config to manage app features including advertisement delivery. Ads may be enabled or disabled remotely based on configuration.

Hymnal Word Puzzle is free to use and supported by advertising via Google AdMob. AdMob may use your advertising ID and similar data to serve personalised ads.

You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time through your device settings:

• Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalisation

The app may request permission to send push notifications such as daily hymn reminders and challenge alerts. This permission is entirely optional and can be enabled or disabled at any time through your device settings.

Game progress, preferences, and puzzle state are stored locally on your device using Android's shared preferences and local database storage. This data never leaves your device unless transmitted by a third-party SDK as described above.

We take reasonable measures to protect information, but no method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

Hymnal Word Puzzle is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Request access to data held about you
• Request deletion of your data
• Opt out of personalised advertising
• Withdraw notification permissions at any time

Since we do not collect personal data directly, most data-related requests should be directed to the relevant third-party services listed above.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
