This Privacy Policy explains how Style App (“we”, “us”) handles information in connection with the mobile game Trace Master (the “App”). We have written it in plain language, because the short version is genuinely short: the game itself does not collect personal information from you, and everything you do in it stays on your device.
IN SHORT
Trace Master does not ask you to create an account, does not ask for your name or email, and does not upload your progress anywhere. The only component that handles data is the advertising service, Google AdMob, which serves the ads that keep the game free.
We do not collect, request, or store any of the following:
The App saves your game state locally so you can continue where you left off. This data never leaves your device, is not readable by us, and is deleted when you uninstall the App or use Settings → Reset progress.
| Stored locally | Why |
|---|---|
| Completed levels, stars, best times | To restore your progress and unlock the next level |
| Hint balance and daily bonus date | To track your hints and the once-per-day bonus |
| Chosen line style, board background, sound/vibration/music switches | To keep your preferences between sessions |
| Play statistics (games played, mistakes, hints used) | To show your own statistics on the home screen |
Trace Master displays advertisements supplied by Google AdMob, a Google service. Ads appear as a banner on menu screens, as an occasional full-screen ad between levels, and as an optional rewarded video that you choose to watch in exchange for hints. Ads are never shown while you are tracing a puzzle.
To serve and measure ads, Google may collect and process data such as your device’s advertising identifier, IP address, device model, operating system version, coarse location derived from your IP address, and interaction with ads. This processing is carried out by Google as an independent controller under its own policies:
We have configured ad requests with a maximum content rating of G (suitable for general audiences).
The App requests the INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permissions for
one purpose: loading advertisements. Puzzles, progress, hints and settings all work without a
connection.
Trace Master is a general-audience puzzle game. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the advertising services used by the App, please contact us at the address below and we will assist in directing the request to the appropriate service. Parents and guardians can also disable ad personalisation using the device settings listed in section 3.
We do not sell, rent or share personal information, because we do not collect it. Data handled by Google AdMob is retained under Google’s own retention schedule. Data stored on your device is retained until you clear the app data, reset your progress in Settings, or uninstall the App.
Game data is kept in the App’s private storage area, which the operating system isolates from other applications. Because no personal data is transmitted to us, there is no account for a third party to compromise.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held about you, and to object to certain processing. As we hold no personal data about you, such requests are best directed to Google for the ad-related data described in section 3. You can delete all data the App holds at any time by resetting progress or uninstalling the App. You may still contact us with any question and we will respond.
We may update this policy if the App changes — for example, if a new feature is added. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated, and the current version will always be available at this address.
