Privacy Policy - Pipe Connect
Your privacy matters. This page explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.
Introduction
Welcome to Pipe Connect: Dot Link Puzzle. This Privacy Policy describes what the app does and does not collect when you use it on Google Play or the App Store.
Pipe Connect is a single-player puzzle game. There is no account, no sign-in and no sync. The short version: everything you do in the app stays on your device, and the only third party involved is the advertising service described below.
Information Stored on Your Device
Your game data is written to a local database on your device and is never uploaded to us. It consists of:
- Which boards you have completed, and how many strokes you took
- An unfinished board, so it can be restored if the app closes
- Which days you completed the Daily Link, and monthly trophies
- Your settings: chosen theme, the Midnight Ember schedule and whether colourblind patterns are on
Deleting the app deletes this data. We have no copy of it and no way to recover it.
Information We Do Not Collect
Pipe Connect does not ask for, collect or transmit your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, camera, microphone, location or health data. The app requests no such permissions.
We do not operate analytics on your gameplay, and we do not build a profile of you.
Advertising
The app displays advertising supplied by Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads, AdMob may collect device identifiers (including an advertising identifier), coarse device and network information, and diagnostic data. This processing is carried out by Google, not by us.
Pipe Connect does not request App Tracking Transparency permission on iOS and does not track you across other companies' apps or websites. Ads served are non-personalised.
Ads never appear over a live board. Rewind and restart never involve an ad. Watching a rewarded ad is always optional — if none is available, the app grants the reward anyway.
You can review Google's practices at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Your device settings let you reset or limit the advertising identifier.
Purchases
This version of Pipe Connect contains no in-app purchases and no subscriptions. No payment information is requested or handled by the app.
Children
Pipe Connect is suitable for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because the app collects no personal information from anyone, there is nothing for us to delete on request — removing the app removes all data it stored.
Data Security
Game data never leaves your device, so there is no server-side store of your information to breach. Data written by the app is protected by your device's own operating-system protections.
Your Rights
Because we hold no personal data about you, there is no account to access, export or delete. If you have a question about this policy, contact us at the address below.

Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the app or for legal reasons. Updates are posted on this page and take effect when posted. If a future version of the app collects anything new, this policy will be updated in the same release.
