Privacy Policy for Snakeway: Escape Puzzle
100% Offline & Safe for FamiliesThis Privacy Policy explains how Way2WebWorld (“we”, “our”, or “us”) handles information within the Snakeway: Escape Puzzle mobile application. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through transparent and minimal data handling practices.
1. Information We Do NOT Collect
Snakeway: Escape Puzzle is an offline-first single-player logic puzzle game. We do not collect, transmit, store, or sell any personal data:
- No names, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical addresses
- No user accounts, social media logins, or passwords required
- No precise or approximate GPS location tracking
- No microphone, camera, contacts, or photo library access
2. Data Stored Locally on Your Device
To provide smooth gameplay progression, the app stores strictly non-identifying game state locally on your device using Android SharedPreferences:
- Level completion progress across 200 solver-verified levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Master)
- Star ratings earned per level (1 to 3 stars)
- Best moves and completion time records per level
- Audio and UI preferences (sound effects on/off, tactile haptics on/off)
- Remaining hint tokens
All of this data remains solely on your physical device. If you uninstall the app or clear its application data in your device settings, this locally stored game progress will be permanently removed.
3. Device Permissions Used
Snakeway requests only standard, non-sensitive Android permissions necessary for game feedback:
- VIBRATE: Used solely to provide subtle tactile haptic feedback when tapping snakes, encountering roadblocks, and completing levels. This can be toggled on or off at any time in the in-game settings.
- INTERNET: Used solely for standard Android network capability checks and contextual ad loading via Google AdMob. No personal data is transmitted.
- ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Used to check network connectivity before attempting to load ads.
4. Advertising and Analytics
Snakeway displays family-friendly, child-safe in-game advertisements served by Google AdMob (such as optional rewarded video ads to unlock free bonus hints, or periodic interstitial breaks between levels). In accordance with Google Play’s Families Policy and COPPA regulations:
- All ad requests are flagged with child-directed treatment (
TagForChildDirectedTreatment.yes) and under age of consent (TagForUnderAgeOfConsent.yes). - No personalized profiling or behavioral advertising tracking is performed.
- Core puzzle gameplay remains 100% playable offline without requiring an active network connection.
5. Children’s Privacy (COPPA & Families Policy)
Snakeway: Escape Puzzle is a cheerful, relaxing spatial logic puzzle suitable for kids, students, and players of all ages. We comply fully with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and Google Play’s Families Policy:
- We do not collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Economic Area).
- The game requires no sign-up or chat features.
- If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has provided us with any personal information, please contact us immediately, and we will promptly address the inquiry.
6. Security of Your Data
Because your game progress stays entirely on your local device and is not sent to external cloud servers, your information is protected by your device’s built-in operating system security measures.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may periodically update this policy to reflect application enhancements or regulatory changes. Any updates will be posted to this page with an updated effective date.
