This Privacy Policy describes how the mobile game Piecely ("the App", "we", "us") handles information. The App is published by sainilabs. By installing and using the App, you agree to the practices described here.
Piecely is a single-player jigsaw puzzle game. We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect your name, email, phone number, contacts, or location. There is no sign-in and no analytics of our own. The App works fully offline except for serving ads and downloading optional picture packs.
On your device only (never sent to us): Your puzzle progress and star ratings, unlocked categories, coins, hints, lives, daily-puzzle streak and streak freezes, daily login and spin rewards, achievements and collected pictures, best solve times, selected board theme, sound, music, haptics and game-mode settings, and your remove-ads / other purchase status are stored locally on your device using Android's standard app storage. This data never leaves your device and is removed when you uninstall the App.
Photos you choose (processed on your device only): Piecely lets you turn a photo into a puzzle. When you choose this, Android's system photo picker lets you select an image; the App only receives the specific photo(s) you pick, uses them to build a puzzle on your device, and does not upload them anywhere. The App does not request broad access to your photo library.
Collected by our advertising partner (Google AdMob): The App shows ads through Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads, Google and its partners may collect and process:
We do not receive this data in a form that identifies you. Google's handling of it is governed by Google's own privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy and how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
A full-screen advert may appear between puzzles — never during a puzzle. The App also offers optional, opt-in adverts you choose to watch: rewarded adverts for extra hints, refilling lives, doubling earned coins, an extra daily spin, or bonus coins. These are entirely your choice, and declining costs you nothing — the game stays free either way.
In regions where it is required (such as the EEA and the UK), the App presents a consent request, provided by Google's User Messaging Platform, before any personalized ads are served. If you decline, you will still see non-personalized ads.
You can reset or limit ad personalization at any time in your device settings under Settings → Google → Ads, or Settings → Privacy → Ads.
The App offers optional purchases, including removing ads, a coin bundle, and unlocking all picture packs. Purchases are processed entirely by Google Play Billing; we never see or store your payment details. See Google Play's terms and privacy policy for how that data is handled.
Some picture categories are delivered on demand through Google Play Asset Delivery and download only when you choose to open them. These downloads are served by Google Play and governed by Google's policies; the App does not attach any personal information to them. The built-in categories work with no connection at all.
The App can show a single optional daily reminder to play. On Android 13 and later it asks for notification permission, and you can turn reminders off at any time in the App's Settings. No personal data is collected to send it — the reminder is scheduled entirely on your device.
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country) and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because the App serves ads, please supervise use by minors.
The only data the App itself stores is the on-device game progress and preferences described above. It is retained until you clear the App's data or uninstall the App. Ad-related data is retained by Google according to Google's policies.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted at this same URL with an updated "Last updated" date.
