Privacy Policy
Effective date: 2026-10-25
Suki App Studio ("we", "us") is the controller of personal information processed through the Ball Nut Sort mobile game (the "App"). This policy explains what is processed, by whom and why, and what choices you have.
1. Summary
The App has no user accounts and we do not operate any server for it. Your game progress, scores and settings are stored only on your device and are never sent to us. The game itself runs on your device and works without a network connection. Advertising is provided by Google AdMob, which collects the data described in section 2. We receive nothing from the App itself, only what you send us by e-mail.
2. Information processed
Game progress (on your device only). The App keeps in its private storage on your device: the levels you have reached, your best scores and simple play statistics, a game in progress so that you can continue it later, and the count of games played, which is also used to space out advertisements.
Settings (on your device only). Sound, vibration, theme and language choices.
Touches. The App reads your taps and swipes on the screen only to play the game. They are used in memory while you play and are never stored or sent anywhere.
Advertising data (collected by Google). The Google Mobile Ads SDK shows advertisements in three ways, never on top of the game board: a banner at the bottom of the screen, after your first finished game; now and then a full-screen ad between games (never during a game and never the first time you open the App after installing it), limited to a few per day; and a short video only if you choose to watch one for an extra tube or extra undos when you are stuck. It collects, for advertising, measurement, analytics and fraud prevention: the advertising ID and other device identifiers, the IP address (from which an approximate location is derived), device and app information, diagnostic information, and how you interact with advertisements. Where the law requires it, Google's consent message (the User Messaging Platform) asks for your choice before any ad is requested. Google LLC and its partners process this data as described at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and https://policies.google.com/privacy. The App has no in-app purchases and no analytics SDK.
Permissions. Besides network access for advertising, the App asks for no permission except vibration (used for game effects and switchable in Settings). It does not use your location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos or files.
E-mail. If you write to us, we receive your e-mail address and the content of your message and use them only to answer you.
3. Purposes and legal bases
Keeping your progress and settings and running the game: providing the functions you request, and our legitimate interest in offering a working app.
Advertising: your consent where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, collected through Google's consent message), otherwise our legitimate interest in keeping the App free.
Answering your e-mail: our legitimate interest in responding to you and dealing with your request.
4. Recipients and international transfers
We do not sell personal information. We receive none of the data described in section 2 except what you send us by e-mail. Google Play also gives us aggregated statistics and crash reports that do not identify you.
Google LLC, in the United States and other countries where Google and its advertising partners operate, receives the advertising data described in section 2 directly from your device, over an encrypted connection, to show and measure advertising. Google processes it under the safeguards it describes in its policies, including standard contractual clauses and, where applicable, the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Our e-mail is hosted by Google (Gmail). Under some laws, showing personalised advertising is treated as "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising; you can opt out as described in section 6.
5. Retention
Your progress and settings stay on your device until you clear the App's data or uninstall the App. The App uses Android Auto Backup: if backup is turned on on your device, this data may be included in the backup in your own Google account until that backup is deleted, and may be moved to a new phone when you transfer your data. We keep e-mail only as long as needed to deal with your message, unless the law requires longer. Google retains advertising data according to its own policies.
6. Your choices and rights
Your data on the device: delete everything by clearing the App's data or uninstalling it. Turn sound and vibration on or off in the App's settings.
Advertising choices: open "Ad privacy settings" in the App's settings (shown where the law requires it) to change or withdraw your consent; reset or delete your advertising ID, or turn off ad personalisation, in Android Settings (Google > Ads, or Privacy > Ads, depending on the device).
Depending on where you live, you have the right to access, correct, delete or port your personal information, to restrict or object to processing, to withdraw consent at any time, and to lodge a complaint with your data protection authority. Because we hold no personal information about you on any server, most requests are fulfilled on your own device; for data held by Google, use Google's tools. You can always contact us at the address below and we will answer within the period required by law.
7. Regional information
European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland: the GDPR / UK GDPR rights in section 6 apply; you may complain to your local supervisory authority. Data received by Google in the United States is described in section 4.
Republic of Korea: items processed, purposes and retention periods are those in sections 2, 3 and 5. Personal information is provided or transferred overseas only to Google LLC (United States and other countries where it operates): the advertising data in section 2, for advertising, measurement and fraud prevention; time and method: transmitted over the network while an advertisement is shown; retention: according to Google's policy. You may refuse this transfer by declining ad consent or turning off ad personalisation; personalised advertising will then not be shown. Our e-mail service (Gmail) is entrusted to Google LLC. Automatically collected information: the App uses no cookies; the advertising SDK uses the advertising ID, which you can reset or delete as described in section 6. Personal information is destroyed by deleting the App's data, and e-mails by deleting them from our mailbox. Person responsible for personal information protection: the representative of Suki App Studio, sukiappstudio@gmail.com. You may also seek help from the Personal Information Infringement Report Center (https://privacy.kisa.or.kr, 118) or the Personal Information Dispute Mediation Committee (https://www.kopico.go.kr, 1833-6972). Children under 14 may not use the App without the consent of their legal guardian.
United States (including California): we do not sell personal information for money. You may opt out of "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising through the choices in section 6. We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you, and we do not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
Brazil: you have the rights listed in Article 18 of the LGPD and may contact the ANPD. International transfers take place as described in section 4.
Japan: we handle personal information in accordance with the Act on the Protection of Personal Information; advertising data received by Google may be processed in the United States and other countries, as described in section 4.
India: you have the rights provided by the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, including the right to nominate and the right to grievance redressal through the contact below.
Russia, Vietnam: you have the rights provided by your national personal data law, including to withdraw consent and to request deletion.
8. Children
The App is not directed to children under 13. Anyone below the age at which they can consent to the processing of their personal data where they live (for example 14 in the Republic of Korea or up to 16 in some European countries) may use the App only with the consent of a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly process children's personal information. If you believe a child has used the App without such consent, contact us.
9. Security
The App stores its data in the private storage that Android protects from other apps, and the advertising SDK uses encrypted connections.
10. Changes
We will post any update to this policy in the App and on its store page, with a new effective date, before the change takes effect.
