● // LEGAL — HUES
PRIVACY POLICY — HUES
This Privacy Policy describes how Hues collects, uses, and shares information when you use the app.
01 Information we collect
Account information
- On first launch we create an anonymous account so you can play without signing in.
- On iOS you may optionally Sign in with Apple. We receive an opaque Apple user identifier and, if you choose to share it, a name and/or email address.
- You may set a display name shown on leaderboards.
Gameplay data
- Level progress, guesses, win/loss outcomes, attempt counts, and timing for Classic, Timed, Daily Challenge, and Blaze modes.
- Leaderboard rankings derived from those outcomes.
- Multiplayer match data if that feature is enabled in a future release.
Advertising (iOS)
- Hues may show full-screen interstitial ads on iOS (via Google AdMob), typically when leaving a finished Classic, Timed, or Daily game for Home.
- We may request App Tracking Transparency permission. If you allow tracking, ads may be personalized. If you decline, we still may show non-personalized ads.
- Ad partners may collect device and advertising identifiers as described in their own policies (including Google's).
Device & diagnostics
- Basic device and app information needed to run the service (for example platform and app version).
- If crash reporting is enabled in a release build, diagnostic crash logs may be sent to our crash-reporting provider.
We do not sell your personal information.
02 How we use information
- To operate gameplay, sync progress, and show leaderboards.
- To authenticate you and secure the service against cheating or abuse.
- To show ads that help support the free app.
- To improve stability and fix bugs.
- To communicate about the app when you contact us.
03 Service providers
We use Supabase (database, authentication, and edge functions) to store and process account and gameplay data. Data may be processed in the region where our Supabase project is hosted.
On iOS we use Google AdMob to serve advertisements.
If Sign in with Apple is used, Apple's terms and privacy policy also apply to that authentication flow.
04 Data retention
We retain account and gameplay records while your account exists and as needed to operate leaderboards and the service. You can delete your account at any time from Profile → Delete account inside the app, which permanently removes your progress, personal bests, and leaderboard scores from our servers. You may also request deletion by contacting us (see below).
05 Children's privacy
Hues is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age.
06 Your choices
- You can play with an anonymous account and avoid linking Apple Sign-In.
- On iOS you can decline tracking; ads may still appear in a non-personalized form.
- You can delete your account and all of its server-side data from Profile → Delete account in the app. You can also request access or deletion by emailing us.
- Uninstalling the app removes local data on your device; server-side account data remains until you delete your account or ask us to.
07 Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
