This privacy policy applies to the HarmonyWordSearch app (the "Application"), a word search game created by Byteroff Solutions Inc. (the "Service Provider") as an ad-supported service. This service is provided "AS IS".
Information Collection and Use
The Application does not require account creation and does not collect personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number.
The Application uses Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous gameplay and usage analytics to improve the game experience. This can include events like level starts and completions, hint usage, and in-game economy actions (coins earned/spent).
The Application displays advertisements through Appodeal, a third-party ad platform. In connection with serving and measuring ads, the app and Appodeal may collect your advertising ID (e.g. Android Advertising ID, iOS Identifier for Advertisers), IP address, and ad interaction data. Approximate location (e.g. country or region) may also be used for ad serving. This data is used to deliver and measure ads, prevent fraud, and improve ad relevance. You can limit or reset your advertising ID and opt out of personalized ads in your device settings. For full details, see Appodeal's privacy policy linked below.
The Application stores game progress and settings locally on your device using on-device storage (e.g., SharedPreferences on Android and UserDefaults on iOS). This data does not leave your device unless you back up your device to a cloud service or transfer data to another device.
The Application does not request precise GPS location, contacts, camera, or microphone data. Approximate location (e.g. country or region) may be used by our ad partner for ad serving as described above.
Third-Party Services
The Application uses the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy for handling data:
Appodeal. Used to display advertisements (e.g. banner and interstitial). Appodeal may collect your advertising ID, IP address, approximate location (for ad serving), and ad interaction data. This data is used to deliver and measure ads and prevent fraud. You can opt out of personalized ads or reset your advertising ID in your device settings. For the privacy policy of this third-party service, see: Appodeal Privacy Policy.
Firebase Analytics. Used to collect anonymous usage and gameplay analytics. Firebase may collect device identifiers, app version, device model, operating system version, and general location (country/city). Gameplay events are logged anonymously. See Google's Privacy Policy.
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom, the Application may request your consent for personalized advertising in accordance with applicable law. Your choices regarding ad personalization can be managed in your device settings or through in-app consent where offered.
In-app review. The Application uses the native in‑app review feature (iOS App Store or Google Play Store) to prompt for reviews. This feature is handled by the OS and does not collect or transmit data to us.

Security
