Privacy Policy
The short version: Padamz has no accounts and no sign-up. We do not collect, store, or sell your personal information. Your game data stays on your device. The Android app shows ads served by Google AdMob, which is the only third party involved.
Data stored on your device
Your statistics (games played, streaks, guess distribution), settings (language, theme, sound, haptics, color-blind symbols), and daily progress are saved only in your browser's or app's local storage. They never leave your device and we cannot see them. Clearing your browser's site data, or uninstalling the app, deletes them permanently.
The website
The website serves no ads, sets no advertising or analytics cookies, and runs no third-party trackers. Our hosting provider (Vercel) may briefly process your IP address in ordinary server logs to deliver the site securely, as virtually every website's host does.
Ads in the Android app
The Android app shows a limited number of ads through Google AdMob (interstitial ads, and rewarded ads you choose to watch for a hint). To serve and measure ads, Google may collect your device's advertising ID and technical device information. We do not receive this data ourselves.
If you are in a region that requires consent (such as the EEA or UK), the app shows Google's consent form on first launch; without consent, only non-personalised ads are served. You can also limit or reset your advertising ID in your device's Google settings at any time.

Purchases
If you buy the optional "remove ads" upgrade, the payment is handled entirely by Google Play. We never see your payment details.
Children
Padamz is a general-audience word game. It collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
Your rights
Because we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to access, correct, or delete on our side — your data is under your control on your own device. For data processed by Google for advertising, use the Google links above. If you have any privacy question or request (including under the GDPR or India's DPDP Act), email us and we will help.
