Privacy Policy — Same Colors

Effective Date: March 23, 2026

Overview

Same Colors is a color-matching puzzle game for Android and iOS. This policy explains what data the app collects and how it is used.

Advertising

Same Colors displays interstitial ads provided by Google AdMob. To support ad delivery, the app may collect and share certain data with Google as described below.

On iOS, the app requests your permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt before any tracking occurs. You can decline tracking, and the app will still function normally with non-personalized ads.

On Android, ad personalization follows your device's ad settings. You can opt out of personalized ads in Settings > Google > Ads.

Data Collected

Data	Linked to You	Used for Tracking	Purpose
Device Identifier (IDFA on iOS, Ad ID on Android)	No	Yes (with consent)	Third-party advertising
Product Interaction	No	No	Advertising and analytics
Crash Data	No	No	App stability
Performance Data	No	No	App performance

On iOS, if you decline the ATT prompt, the Device Identifier is not collected or shared. On Android, you can reset or opt out of your advertising ID in device settings.

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

The app saves a small amount of game data to your device using UserDefaults (iOS) or SharedPreferences (Android). This data never leaves your device and includes:

Data	Purpose
Selected difficulty (Easy / Medium / Hard)	Remember your last chosen difficulty
High score per difficulty level	Display your personal best scores
Sound on/off preference	Remember your audio preference
Current game state (board layout, score)	Resume your game when you reopen the app

This data is stored locally and is automatically deleted when you uninstall the app.

Third-Party Services

Same Colors integrates the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) for displaying advertisements. Google's data practices are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Ad-related network requests are sent to the following domains:

googleads.g.doubleclick.net
googlesyndication.com

No other third-party SDKs, analytics platforms, or social media services are integrated.

Data We Do NOT Collect

No names, email addresses, or contact information
No location data
No photos, camera, or microphone access
No contacts or calendar data
No health or fitness data

Children's Privacy

Same Colors does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The app displays ads, which may be non-personalized if tracking consent is not granted.

Your Choices

iOS — Decline tracking: When the ATT prompt appears, tap "Ask App Not to Track" to prevent personalized ad tracking.
iOS — Change tracking later: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking on your device to modify your preference at any time.
Android — Opt out of personalized ads: Go to Settings > Google > Ads to manage your ad preferences or reset your advertising ID.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes in a future version of the app, the updated policy will be made available at this URL. The effective date at the top of this document will be updated accordingly.
