Privacy Policy

1. Who this policy covers

Little Worlds: Word Puzzle is a mobile game by Quiet Loop Games. This policy covers its iOS and Android versions and the information used by the game and its service providers. Features can differ between platforms and releases; a feature described here only processes information when it is available and used in your version.

You do not need to create a Quiet Loop Games account to play. We do not operate a player-account database or our own cloud-save server for this game.

2. Progress and preferences on your device

The game saves level progress, discovered words, extra-word discoveries, Dewdrops, collected garden items, Recall Garden progress, and settings such as sound, motion and meaning language on your device. It also keeps the information needed to recognize an active purchase and avoid crediting the same reward twice.

Local progress is not automatically shared between the browser game and a separately installed mobile app. Device or operating-system backups, where enabled, are governed by your platform settings. Clearing app data or deleting the app may erase local progress; purchase and platform leaderboard records are managed separately.

3. Advertising and optional rewards

The free version may display a bottom banner and interstitial ads between eligible completed levels. You can also choose an optional rewarded ad to receive 10 Dewdrops. Buying Remove Ads removes banner and interstitial ads; optional rewarded ads remain available if you choose them.

Google AdMob and its advertising partners may process IP addresses, which can indicate approximate location; device or app identifiers, including advertising identifiers where permitted; app and device information; ad views, taps and other interactions; and diagnostic or performance information. These are used for ad delivery, measurement, security and fraud prevention. Processing depends on your region, device permissions and advertising choices.

Where consent is required, the applicable advertising choices are presented through Google's consent system. You can revisit available choices through the game's Privacy Choices control. On iOS, access that requires tracking permission is subject to Apple's permission controls. You can manage platform advertising and tracking settings in your device settings. Declining tracking or an optional rewarded ad does not prevent core gameplay.

4. Optional Game Center on iOS

If you use Apple Game Center, the game can submit your Discovery Points score to the leaderboard. Apple manages your Game Center account and player identity. Your player profile and score may be visible to other players according to Apple's Game Center settings.

You can play without a Game Center sign-in. Game Center leaderboard records are separate from the game's local level save. This policy does not imply that Game Center is available on Android.

5. Remove Ads and store purchases

Where offered, Remove Ads is a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase. Apple processes App Store purchases on iOS, and Google processes Google Play purchases on Android. The game uses store transaction and entitlement information to unlock, verify or restore the purchased benefit.

Quiet Loop Games does not receive your full payment card or bank details from these stores. Your store account, transaction history, refunds and purchase records are governed by the relevant platform's terms and privacy policy.

6. When you contact us

If you email us for help or a privacy request, we receive your email address and the information you include. We use this information to respond, investigate the issue and handle the request. Please include only information needed for your request.

7. Permissions, providers and this page

Core gameplay does not request access to your contacts, microphone, camera, photos or precise location. Internet access may be used for advertising and consent, store purchases, platform leaderboards and opening support or policy links.

The relevant providers describe their own information practices here:

• Apple Privacy Policy — App Store and Game Center.
• Google Privacy Policy — AdMob, consent and Google Play services.
• How Google uses information from apps using its services.
• GitHub Privacy Statement — hosting this policy page.

This policy page has no analytics scripts or advertising embedded by Quiet Loop Games. GitHub Pages may process ordinary web-request information to deliver and secure the page.

8. Retention and security

Local game information remains on your device until it is removed or replaced. Support correspondence is kept only as reasonably needed to handle the request and meet applicable legal obligations. Advertising and platform records are retained under the relevant provider's policies and account controls.

We rely on platform security features and limit our use of support information to the purposes described here. No storage or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure. Service providers may process information outside your country as described in their policies.

9. Your choices and privacy requests

• Play without signing in to Game Center.
• Choose whether to view an optional rewarded ad.
• Review available advertising choices through Privacy Choices and your device settings.
• Manage local app data, device backups, store purchases and platform profiles through the relevant device or account controls.

Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of personal information, restrict or object to processing, or withdraw consent. For information held by Quiet Loop Games, use the contact below. For records held by Apple, Google or another provider, their privacy and account controls also apply. You may contact your local data-protection authority with a complaint.

10. Children and families

The game has no player chat and does not ask for your name, email address or other contact details to play. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided personal information to Quiet Loop Games, contact us so we can review and address the request.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the game, its providers or relevant requirements change. The date at the top identifies the latest revision. The same policy link applies to both iOS and Android.
