Summary

Sudoku Solver with Scanner helps users solve Sudoku puzzles by scanning a board image and converting it into an editable Sudoku grid. Camera images, gallery images, and recognized Sudoku board data are processed locally on the user's device. The app uses Google AdMob for advertising and may use Google Analytics for Firebase only after the user provides consent.

Data Accessed by the App

• Camera access is requested only when the user chooses to scan a Sudoku board.
• Photo or media access is requested only when the user chooses an existing image from the device.
• Camera and photo data are processed locally on the user's device for Sudoku board recognition.
• The app does not require account registration, contacts, microphone, SMS, or precise location access.

Data Collected or Shared by the Developer

The developer does not collect or share the user's scanned Sudoku images, selected photos, recognized Sudoku board contents, cell values, notes, solutions, or scanned image data. Puzzle scanning and solving are handled locally on the device.

Advertising

The app uses Google AdMob to show ads. Google AdMob and its advertising partners may collect or receive advertising-related data such as the advertising ID, device information, app interactions, diagnostics, and approximate location, depending on the user's device settings and consent choices. This data is handled by Google and its partners for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and related advertising services.

Analytics and Usage Data

The app uses Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how users interact with the app and to improve its features and user experience. Analytics collection is optional and is disabled until the user provides consent.

When Analytics is enabled, the app may collect usage information such as screen views, game completion, solving time, hint usage, scan attempts, favorite puzzle interactions, and Daily Puzzle activity. Google Analytics may also collect app-instance identifiers, device information, app session information, and approximate geographic information.

The developer does not intentionally send Sudoku board contents, cell values, notes, solutions, scanned images, email addresses, or account identifiers to Analytics. Users can enable or disable Analytics at any time in the app's Settings without affecting core gameplay. Disabling Analytics stops future Analytics collection but does not automatically delete previously collected data.

Retention and Deletion

Because scanned images and puzzle data are processed locally and are not collected by the developer, the developer does not retain this data on external servers. Local app data can be deleted by clearing the app data in Android settings or uninstalling the app. The app does not create user accounts, so there is no account deletion process. Analytics data is processed through Google Analytics for Firebase. For data deletion or privacy-related requests, contact solve.puzzlegame@gmail.com.

Security

The app relies on Android platform permissions and local device protections. Users control whether to grant camera or photo access, and those permissions can be changed in Android settings.
