1. Introduction
Style App ("we", "us", "our") built Animal Flow: Connect & Solve (the "App") as a free mobile game supported by advertising. The App contains no in-app purchases and never asks you for payment details. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App handles, why, and what choices you have.
By downloading or using the App you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
2. Information we do not collect
We want to be direct about this: we do not ask for, collect, or store any personal information about you on our own servers. Specifically, the App does not:
- require you to create an account or sign in;
- ask for your name, email address, phone number or date of birth;
- request access to your contacts, photos, microphone, camera, files, calendar, or precise location;
- operate any backend server that receives your gameplay data;
- ask for or process any payment, card or billing information.
3. Information stored on your device
To make the game work, the App saves a small amount of data in its own private storage area on your device. This data never leaves your device unless you back it up yourself through your device's own backup service.
| What is stored | Why |
|---|---|
| Current level, completed levels, stars and best move counts | So your progress is still there when you reopen the game |
| Coin and hint balances | To run the in-game economy |
| Sound, music, vibration and notification preferences | To respect the settings you choose |
| Tutorial completion flag, selected character theme | So the tutorial is not shown again and your choices persist |
| Daily reward and daily challenge dates, daily streak | To work out whether today's reward is still available |
You can erase all of this at any time by clearing the App's data in your device settings, or by uninstalling the App.
4. Advertising
The App displays advertisements through Google AdMob, a service provided by Google LLC. AdMob is a third party and operates under its own privacy policy.
What AdMob may collect
To serve and measure ads, Google may collect and process information such as:
- your Android Advertising ID (a resettable identifier);
- your device model, operating system version and language;
- your approximate location, derived from your IP address (this is coarse, region-level information — the App does not request GPS or precise location permission);
- information about ads shown, viewed or clicked.
Ad formats used
- Banner ads — shown on the home, level select, character collection, daily rewards and settings screens. Banners are never placed over the puzzle board.
- Interstitial ads — full-screen ads shown occasionally between levels, never during play and never during the level-complete celebration.
- Rewarded ads — entirely optional. You choose to watch one in exchange for coins or a hint. You are never required to watch an ad to continue playing.
Your ad choices
You can reset or delete your Advertising ID at any time from Settings → Google → Ads on your Android device, where you can also opt out of ad personalisation. Where required by law, the App presents a consent form before personalised ads are shown.

5. Permissions the App requests
| Permission | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
| INTERNET | To download advertisements |
| ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE | To check whether a connection is available before requesting an ad |
| VIBRATE | Haptic feedback while drawing paths (you can turn this off in Settings) |
| com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID | Required by Google Play for apps that use the Advertising ID for ads |
The App requests no other permissions. It cannot read your files, contacts, messages, camera or microphone.
6. Children's privacy
The App is a family-friendly puzzle game. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction).
Advertising content in the App is limited to a maximum content rating of G (General audiences). If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at styleapplication08@gmail.com and we will act promptly.
7. Data security
Game data is kept in the App's private storage area, which Android isolates from other applications on your device. Because we do not transmit your game data anywhere, there is no server-side copy of it to secure or breach.
8. Data retention and deletion
Your game data stays on your device for as long as the App is installed. To delete it completely:
- open Settings → Apps → Animal Flow → Storage and tap Clear data; or
- uninstall the App.
For data held by Google in connection with advertising, please refer to Google's own policy linked in Section 4.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the GDPR (European Economic Area and UK) or the CCPA (California) to access, correct, delete or restrict processing of your personal data, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
Because we hold no personal data about you ourselves, most of these requests are best directed to Google in relation to advertising data. You are welcome to contact us at any time and we will help where we can.
10. Third-party services
The App uses the following third-party service, whose own terms and privacy policies apply:
- Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads SDK — Privacy Policy
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect as soon as the revised policy is posted at this address, and the "Last updated" date above is revised accordingly. Significant changes will also be noted in the App's release notes on Google Play.
