This policy explains how PuzzleVuzzle ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use puzzlevuzzle.com (the "website") and the PuzzleVuzzle mobile applications for iOS and Android (the "apps"). It also describes your choices and rights. See our Terms and Conditions for rules of use.
PuzzleVuzzle is an independent puzzle gaming service operated by the PuzzleVuzzle team. We provide free puzzle games through our website and mobile apps on iOS and Android.
Contact for privacy matters: privacy@puzzlevuzzle.com
We do not intentionally collect precise GPS location, payment card numbers, government ID numbers, or unnecessary social profile data.
Our iOS and Android apps offer the same puzzle games as the website, in a layout designed for phones and tablets. When you use an app:
Data collected through the apps is handled under this policy and, where applicable, under the privacy policies of our integrated service providers.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for unrelated profiling or hidden data brokerage.
Our website may display third-party advertising, including ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to PuzzleVuzzle and/or other sites on the Internet. You can learn more in How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time in Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings and, where offered, our consent tools.
Our iOS and Android apps may show third-party ads, such as ads at natural breakpoints (for example after completing a puzzle) and, where offered, optional rewarded ads. You can control ad personalization using your device privacy settings as described in Section 03.
On the website we use Google Analytics 4 to understand traffic and feature usage in aggregate (pages visited, approximate region, device type, and similar). The Android and iOS apps do not load this website Analytics tag. Analytics data is not used to identify you personally. You can learn more in Google's Privacy Policy.
You can delete cookies and site data at any time in your browser or device settings. This also deletes your saved progress, coins, and streaks, because they exist only on your device.
We share information only with service providers that help us run PuzzleVuzzle, such as:
These providers process data only to deliver their services to us and are required to protect it appropriately. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of PuzzleVuzzle and our users.
We retain information only as long as needed to provide the service, meet legal requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
We use HTTPS encryption in transit and restrict internal access to the data we hold.
PuzzleVuzzle includes Word Search, Number Search, Fill-Ins, Cryptograms, Kakuro, Nonogram, Color Rush, Zip Game, Queens Game, Wordscapes, Arrow Escape, and Tangram. Some puzzle styles may be familiar across the internet because they are established logic concepts.
Our implementations, including code, interface, and puzzle logic design, are independently developed by PuzzleVuzzle.
Zip Game and Queens Game on PuzzleVuzzle were created by our team from scratch. We did not copy source code or interface assets from other platforms.
While general puzzle mechanics are long-standing public concepts, our specific creative expression and implementation are original to PuzzleVuzzle.
Our codebase, visuals, game behavior, and platform design are protected by applicable copyright law.
Game rules and abstract mechanics are not owned by a single company. What is protected is each creator's original implementation.
If you have a genuine concern, please contact us directly so we can resolve it in good faith.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
To exercise these rights, email privacy@puzzlevuzzle.com. We aim to respond within 30 days. If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Deleting your data: The only personal information we hold on our side is support email you send us; ask and we will delete it within 30 days. Game data on your device is under your control: clear your browser's site data or the app's storage, or uninstall the app.
PuzzleVuzzle is family-friendly, but our services are not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age.
Everyone, including children, plays as a guest, with progress stored only on the device. If you believe a child provided personal information to us, contact privacy@puzzlevuzzle.com and we will delete it promptly.
Where required, we configure advertising to be appropriate for general audiences and comply with applicable child-privacy rules.
PuzzleVuzzle may process and store information in countries where we or our service providers operate. By using the website or apps, you understand that your information may be transferred to jurisdictions with different data-protection laws than your own. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.
We may update this policy when our practices, games, or legal requirements change. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. For significant changes we may also show a notice on the website or in the app.
Continued use of PuzzleVuzzle after an update means you accept the revised policy.
We are a small team and we read every message.
