Privacy Policy - Ciall: Chess, Sudoku & Puzzles

1) Who we are

Ciall: Chess, Sudoku & Puzzles is developed and published by Saifullah Ahad ("we", "us", "our"). Developer portfolio and contact details are available at https://saifullah.ai.

2) Core scope and purpose

Ciall is a clean, calm, and contemplative thinking-games collection containing eight classic games: Chess, Go 9×9, Sudoku, 2048, Minesweeper, Memory Match, Lights Out, and Tic-Tac-Toe. It is built to run entirely on your device with no timer pressure, no paywalls, and no interruptions.

3) Data collection and privacy guarantees

Ciall does not collect, record, transmit, monetize, or share any personal data.

• No accounts: You do not need to create an account, register, or provide an email address or phone number to use Ciall.
• No third-party trackers: The app contains zero analytics frameworks, zero telemetry tools, zero crash log uploaders, and zero behavioral tracking libraries.
• No advertising: Ciall is 100% ad-free with zero advertising SDKs.
• 100% Free: No in-app purchases, no subscriptions, and no paid features.

4) On-device data handling

All gameplay data—including active game boards, puzzle states, undo histories, win and loss tallies, personal best scores, and daily streak counts—is stored solely on your physical device using private Android application storage (SharedPreferences). This data is never transmitted across the network and never leaves your phone or tablet.

5) Device permissions

Ciall is completely offline and requests zero Android permissions:

• android.permission.INTERNET: Not requested. The app has no network communication capability.
• android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Not requested.
• Camera, microphone, location, contacts, and external storage: Not requested.

6) Data retention and deletion

Because all application data is stored locally in private device memory:

• You can reset all gameplay statistics, win streaks, and records at any time from within the app by going to the Progress tab and tapping Reset Statistics.
• Uninstalling Ciall or clearing app storage in your Android device's Settings immediately and permanently deletes all locally saved data.

7) Children's privacy

Ciall is appropriate and safe for players of all ages. Because the app does not collect personal information of any kind from any user, it does not collect personal data from children under the age of 13 (or under applicable local age thresholds).
