Doodle Brain: Tricky Riddles — Privacy Policy

Applies to the Doodle Brain: Tricky Riddles mobile app on the Apple App Store (iOS/iPadOS) and Google Play (Android).

Effective: September 2026  ·  Last updated: 24 September 2026

Doodle Brain: Tricky Riddles is a free, ad-supported puzzle game of trick questions, matchstick puzzles, a daily puzzle and endless logic puzzles. There is no account, no sign-in, and no personal profile. We run no servers. The app has no in-app purchases. This policy explains the limited data involved in running the app and showing ads.

1. Information stored on your device

Your progress — levels solved, coins, hints, your daily puzzle streak, and your settings — is saved locally on your device only. The app keeps a second copy in its own on-device storage so that progress survives if the system clears web storage. We never receive, transmit, or store your game progress. Deleting the app deletes this data permanently, and it cannot be recovered or transferred.

Every level, drawing, sound, and daily puzzle is built into the app. The game is fully playable with no network connection, except for loading and showing ads.

The app does not use any analytics service. Gameplay events are not sent to us or to any third party.

2. Information we do not collect

We do not collect, request, or have access to your name, email address, phone number, postal address, date of birth, contacts, photos, microphone, camera, precise (GPS) location, health data, payment details, or any account credentials. The app requests no such permissions.

3. Device features the app uses

• Motion sensors. A few puzzles ask you to shake or tilt your device. Motion readings are used on the device, in the moment, to solve the puzzle. They are never stored or sent anywhere. On iPhone and iPad, iOS asks for your permission first.
• Daily reminders (optional). After you solve your first daily puzzle, the app may offer a reminder when the next puzzle is ready. If you agree, your device schedules local notifications itself. No push service or server is involved. You can turn reminders off in the app's settings or in your device's notification settings.
• Vibration. Short haptic feedback on some actions. No data is involved.

4. Advertising

Doodle Brain is free because it shows ads through Google AdMob. Ads appear as occasional full-screen interstitials between puzzles, and as optional rewarded videos you may choose to watch for coins, a hint, or to keep a daily streak. Rewarded ads are always optional and never required to keep playing.

To serve, measure, and prevent fraud in advertising, Google collects the following through the AdMob SDK embedded in the app:

Google acts as an independent controller of this data. Its handling is governed by the Google Privacy Policy, and you can read how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

5. Your choices about advertising

On iPhone and iPad

Doodle Brain requests non-personalised ads only on iOS. It does not track you across other companies' apps and websites, and so it never shows Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. You can also turn off tracking for all apps in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

On Android

Ads may be personalised using your Advertising ID. You can reset or delete your Advertising ID, and opt out of ad personalisation, in Settings → Google → Ads (or Settings → Privacy → Ads on some devices).

In the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland

Where required, we show a Google-certified consent form before any ad is requested, allowing you to accept or refuse personalised advertising. You can change that choice at any time from Privacy choices in the app's settings, which appears where it is required in your region.

6. Legal bases and your rights

Because we hold no personal data ourselves, requests to access, correct, delete, or export advertising data must be directed to Google, which controls it. See the Google Privacy Policy for how to exercise those rights.

EEA / UK (GDPR)

Where personalised advertising is used, the legal basis is your consent, collected through the consent form described above, and withdrawable at any time. Where non-personalised advertising is served, the basis is legitimate interest in funding a free app. You have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, and may complain to your local supervisory authority.

California (CCPA / CPRA)

We do not sell personal information for money. On Android, sharing an advertising identifier for cross-context behavioural advertising may qualify as "sharing" under the CPRA. Californian residents may opt out by turning off ad personalisation as described in section 5, which we honour as an opt-out of sale and sharing. On iOS, the app serves non-personalised ads only.

7. Children's privacy

Doodle Brain is a general-audience app rated for ages 13 and up. It is not directed to children, is not enrolled in the App Store Kids Category or Google Play's Designed for Families programme, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through this app, contact us and we will act promptly. Parents and guardians can restrict advertising identifiers using the device settings in section 5, or use Screen Time (iOS) and Family Link (Android) to manage app access.

8. Data retention and security

Game progress remains on your device until you delete the app. We operate no servers and retain nothing. Advertising data is retained by Google under its own retention schedule, described in its privacy policy.

9. International transfers

Advertising data may be processed by Google on servers outside your country, including the United States, under the safeguards described in Google's privacy policy.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the app changes or as legal requirements evolve. The revision date at the top will always reflect the current version. Material changes will be highlighted on this page.
