Data kept on your device
SlideSage may store puzzle state, settings, sound preference, game history, achievements, Daily Challenge results, Personal Records, and remaining AI Coach, Undo, and Solution Playback credits locally. This information is used only to provide app features.
Deleting the app generally removes its local data, subject to iOS backup and restore behavior.
Photos and puzzle solving
Picture Puzzle uses Apple’s system photo picker. Photos you choose remain inside the app’s private storage and are not uploaded by us. SlideSage does not request camera access.
Puzzle solving and AI Coach calculations run locally on your device; no puzzle arrangement is sent to a remote AI service.
Advertising in the free edition
The free edition integrates Google Mobile Ads and Google’s User Messaging Platform. Depending on your region, consent choices, device settings, and ad availability, Google and its partners may process:
- IP address and approximate location;
- device or advertising identifiers;
- advertising data and interactions with ads or the app;
- performance, crash, and diagnostic data.
These data may be used to deliver and measure ads, analyze performance, prevent fraud, and keep services secure. Personalized advertising is used only where permitted and according to your consent and iOS tracking choices. Reward credits are granted only after an eligible ad is completed.
You can review available privacy choices in the app or iOS Settings. See Google’s Privacy Policy, How Google uses information for advertising, and Google Mobile Ads data disclosure.
Premium and purchases
SlideSage Premium removes ads and provides unlimited AI Coach, Undo, and Solution Playback while the subscription is active. After entitlement status is resolved, the app suppresses new ad requests for Premium members.
Purchases are processed by Apple. SlideSage receives product and verified entitlement status, not your payment credentials. Manage or cancel subscriptions in Apple’s system subscription settings. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
Support communications
If you email support, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address, device details, screenshots, and message. We use it only to answer your request and diagnose the issue. Please do not include sensitive personal information.
Service providers and disclosure
We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed by Apple for App Store, purchase, system-picker, and platform services; by Google for advertising and consent in the free edition; and by our website or email providers when you visit this page or contact support. These providers operate under their own policies and contractual or equivalent safeguards.
We may disclose information if legally required, to protect users and the service, or as part of a business transfer with appropriate notice and protection.
Retention, deletion, and your choices
Local app data remains until you delete it, reset it through available app controls, or uninstall the app. Support emails are retained only as reasonably needed to resolve requests, maintain records, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations.
You may withdraw advertising consent where the in-app privacy options are available, limit tracking in iOS Settings, or contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of information we control.
Children, security, and transfers
SlideSage is a general-audience puzzle app and is not specifically directed to children. We do not ask users to create accounts or provide age, name, or contact details. Parents and guardians can use Apple’s device and purchase controls.
We use reasonable safeguards, but no electronic system is completely secure. Apple, Google, website, or email providers may process data in other countries under applicable safeguards.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy when the app, law, or service providers change. Material changes will be reflected by the effective date. Questions or privacy requests can be sent to:
