Looplink Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Looplink is developed and published by:

For any privacy-related queries, contact us at: [email protected]

TrueNode Limited is the data controller for the purposes of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

2. What Data We Collect

2.1 Data Stored Locally on Your Device

The following data is stored only on your device using local storage. It is never sent to our servers because we do not operate any servers.

• Game progress (puzzles completed, current level per difficulty tier)
• Streak data (current streak, longest streak)
• Hint token balance and usage history
• App preferences (theme, haptic feedback, sound settings)
• Onboarding and tutorial completion status
• Purchase status (whether ad-free mode is unlocked)

2.2 Data Collected by Third-Party Services

Looplink integrates two third-party services that may collect data independently. We do not control this collection, but we are transparent about what these services access.

We do not collect: your name, email address, phone number, precise location, photos, contacts, messages, camera or microphone data, or any other personal identifiers.

3. How We Use Data

4. Advertising

Looplink displays advertisements via Google AdMob. Important details:

• No ads on first launch. Advertisements are not shown until you have completed at least 6 puzzles.
• No ads during gameplay. Interstitial ads only appear after you complete a puzzle, never mid-solve.
• Rewarded ads are optional. You may choose to watch an ad to earn a hint token. This is never forced.
• Ad personalisation consent. For users in the UK and EEA, Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) will present a consent form before personalised ads are shown. You may decline personalised ads.
• Remove ads permanently. A one-time purchase removes all advertising from the app.

You can reset or delete your Android Advertising ID at any time via your device settings under Settings > Google > Ads.

See Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy

5. In-App Purchases

Purchases are processed by Google Play Billing. We do not collect or store your payment card details. RevenueCat manages purchase validation and entitlement delivery on our behalf.

Products available:

• Looplink Pro — one-time purchase to remove ads and receive bonus hint tokens (non-consumable)
• Tip Jar — optional support payments at three price points (consumable, no feature unlock)

See RevenueCat's privacy policy: revenuecat.com/privacy

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell your data to anyone. Data is only shared with the third-party services listed above (Google AdMob and RevenueCat) for the specific purposes described. No data is shared for marketing, profiling, or resale.

7. International Data Transfers

Google and RevenueCat operate servers outside the United Kingdom (primarily in the United States). When these services process data, it may be transferred internationally. Both Google and RevenueCat maintain appropriate safeguards for international transfers, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office.

Locally stored game data never leaves your device unless you choose to export it.

8. Data Retention

9. Data Security

We take the following measures to protect your data:

• All game data is stored locally on your device — there is no server to breach.
• All communication with third-party services (AdMob, RevenueCat, Google Play) uses TLS encryption in transit.
• We do not store, process, or have access to your payment information.
• The app requests only the Internet permission (required for ads and purchases). No access to camera, microphone, location, contacts, or storage.

10. Your Rights (UK GDPR)

Under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights:

• Right of access — You can view all your data within the app (Settings > Stats) and export it as a CSV file (Settings > Export My Data).
• Right to erasure — You can delete all local data at any time via Settings > Delete My Data. This is immediate and irreversible.
• Right to data portability — The Export My Data feature provides your data in a machine-readable CSV format.
• Right to rectification — Since we do not collect personal data server-side, there is no data to correct. Local data is under your control.
• Right to restrict processing — You can disable personalised ads via the consent form or your device's ad settings. You can remove all ads via a one-time purchase.
• Right to object — You may object to ad personalisation at any time through your device's advertising settings or by purchasing ad-free mode.
• Right to withdraw consent — If you have consented to personalised ads, you can withdraw consent at any time via your device's ad settings. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, or if you have questions, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

11. Complaints

If you are not satisfied with how we handle your data or your request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK supervisory authority:

12. Children's Privacy

Looplink is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since the app collects no personal information directly from any user, no age-specific data is gathered.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through a third-party service integrated in this app, please contact us at [email protected].

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change. For significant changes, we will update the in-app privacy information. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
