Data Retention

Local Gameplay Data

Local gameplay and settings information may remain on your device until you delete the application, clear its data or otherwise remove it.

Registered Account Data

Account and cloud progress information may be retained while your Gridilox account remains active.

If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymise associated personal information where reasonably possible, subject to information that must be retained for legal, security, fraud prevention, financial or technical reasons.

Purchase entitlement information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to verify purchases, restore access, prevent fraud and comply with app-store, accounting, tax or legal requirements.

Leaderboard information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to operate leaderboard and historical results features.

Where an account is deleted, personally identifying leaderboard information will be removed or anonymised where reasonably possible.

Crash and Diagnostic Data

Diagnostic information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to investigate and resolve technical issues.

Support correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry and maintain appropriate support records.

Sharing of Data

We only share information where necessary to operate, support, analyse or improve the Service.

We may share data with:

Apple

For App Store distribution, sign-in, purchases, refunds, payment processing and purchase restoration.

Google

For Google authentication, Google Play distribution, purchases, refunds, payment processing and purchase restoration.

RevenueCat

Legal or Regulatory Authorities

Where required by law, regulation, court order or lawful request.

We do not sell your personal data.

We do not share personal data with unrelated third parties for targeted advertising.

Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal data.

However, no electronic system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should keep your device, Google account, Apple ID and app-store credentials secure.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights including:

  • access to your personal data
  • correction of inaccurate data
  • deletion of your personal data
  • restriction of processing
  • data portability
  • objection to certain processing
  • withdrawal of consent where processing relies on consent

You can exercise these rights by contacting:

support@gridilox.com

If you have registered for Gridilox, we may need sufficient information to confirm that the account concerned belongs to you.

You may also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) or your local supervisory authority.

Account Deletion

Registered users can delete their Gridilox account and request deletion of associated personal data.

How You Can Delete Your Account

If you can access your Gridilox account, you can initiate account deletion directly within the Gridilox app through Account Settings.

If you cannot access your account, cannot use the in-app deletion option, or otherwise require assistance, you can request account deletion by contacting us at:

support@gridilox.com

Where necessary, we may ask for reasonable information to verify that the account belongs to you before processing a deletion request.

Account deletion removes the Gridilox account and associated cloud data where reasonably possible, including personal leaderboard information.

Deleting an account may also remove:

  • cloud-synchronised progress
  • Daily Puzzle history
  • streak information
  • leaderboard information
  • account-linked gameplay information
  • other information associated with your registered Gridilox account

Some information may be retained where reasonably necessary or required for:

  • legal obligations
  • security
  • fraud prevention
  • financial or accounting requirements
  • dispute resolution
  • technical operation

Deleting a Gridilox account does not cancel, reverse or refund purchases made through Apple or Google.

Purchase records may continue to exist with the applicable app store and RevenueCat where required for purchase restoration, fraud prevention, accounting or legal purposes.

Gridilox Unlimited may remain associated with the Apple ID or Google account used to make the original purchase, where supported by the applicable app store.

Account deletion does not necessarily remove local game data already stored on your device. To remove locally stored Gridilox data, you may also need to delete the application or clear its local application data.

For questions or assistance concerning account deletion, contact:

support@gridilox.com

Children

Gridilox is a general-audience puzzle game.

The Service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.

If you believe that a child has provided personal data to us, contact us at support@gridilox.com and we will take appropriate action where required.

External Links and Services

Gridilox may contain links to app stores, websites or other third-party services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content or security of third-party services.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Material changes may be notified through Gridilox, our website or the relevant app-store listing.

Continued use of the Service following an update means the revised Privacy Policy will apply from its stated effective date.

The main substantive addition is the How You Can Delete Your Account subsection. It now explicitly covers both routes Google/Apple reviewers are likely to look for: deletion from Account Settings, and a support route when the user cannot access the account.
