Snakes & Ladders Classic

1. Introduction

Welcome to Snakes & Ladders Classic ("we," "our," or "the App"), developed by New thoughts Dev. We are committed to protecting the privacy of players of all ages who enjoy our classic family board game.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be accessed, how it is handled, and the choices available to you. By downloading, installing, or playing Snakes & Ladders Classic, you agree to the practices outlined in this policy.

2. Information Collection and Storage

2.1 Data You Do Not Provide

Snakes & Ladders Classic does not require an account or sign-in. You are never asked for:

• Personal identifying credentials (full name, email, street address, or phone number)
• Social media account connections or contact list access
• Financial or credit card details
• Precise GPS location data

2.2 Local Device Storage

To deliver a smooth and personalized experience, the App stores simple gameplay variables locally on your device using Android Shared Preferences:

• Audio & Vibration Preferences: Toggle settings for haptic feedback and playful animation effects.
• Completed Matches: A counter tracking completed games and adventures.
• Game State: Board layout state and current turn information during an active session.

Note: This information is entirely local to your device. It is never uploaded to any proprietary servers owned by New thoughts Dev. You can delete all local saved data at any time by uninstalling the application or using your Android system settings to clear the App's storage.

3. Third-Party Services & Advertising

Snakes & Ladders Classic is supported by third-party advertising to keep the game free to enjoy. We integrate trusted, industry-standard mobile SDKs provided by Google.

Information Processed by Google Mobile Ads

Google AdMob and its advertising partners may automatically collect and process certain device-level information in accordance with their privacy policies:

• Device identifiers (such as Android Advertising ID / GAID)
• Approximate (coarse/network-derived) location
• IP address and general network status
• App interaction data, ad impressions, and crash diagnostics

4. User Privacy Choices & Ad Consent

We give players full transparency and control over their advertising preferences:

• Consent Management (GDPR / EEA / UK): In regions requiring consent, the Google UMP consent form is displayed upon app launch, allowing you to choose whether personalized or non-personalized ads are shown. You can revisit your ad privacy choices at any time inside the App's Settings screen.
• Android Device Controls: You can reset or delete your Google Advertising ID on your Android device at any time by visiting:
  Settings → Google → Ads → Reset Advertising ID or Delete Advertising ID.
• Offline Play: Snakes & Ladders Classic supports complete offline gameplay. When disconnected from the internet, no ads are requested or rendered.

5. Children’s Privacy & Family Policy

Snakes & Ladders Classic is designed for a general audience and families. Protecting children's privacy is of paramount importance to us.

• The App does not knowingly request or collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction).
• In-app advertisements are configured through Google AdMob with a maximum content rating suitable for general audiences (Max Ad Content Rating: G).
• If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information to third-party services through our App, please contact us immediately at rova2201@gmail.com, and we will take prompt steps to investigate and assist.

6. Data Security and Retention

Because we do not operate a remote user account database, we do not store your personal information on our own servers. Data stored locally on your device by the App remains solely on your physical device until you clear the App's storage or uninstall the App.

For network communications performed by Google SDKs (such as retrieving ads), industry-standard encryption protocols (HTTPS/TLS) are utilized to protect transmissions between your device and Google's servers.

7. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA / CPRA)

Depending on your location, you may have specific statutory rights regarding your data:

• Right to Know / Access: You have the right to know what categories of personal data are processed.
• Right to Deletion: You have the right to delete data stored on your device at any time by clearing application data or uninstalling.
• Right to Opt-Out: You may opt out of personalized ad targeting via in-app ad choices or through Android system settings.
• Non-Discrimination: We do not discriminate against users who exercise their statutory privacy rights.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect modifications in our practices, legal requirements, or app features. When changes are made, the revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
