What Data Is Collected - By App
Below is a complete, honest breakdown of every SDK and data type in each app.
| SDK / Data | What is collected & why |
|---|---|
| Google AdMob | Serves ads on the free tier. AdMob collects Android Advertising ID and general location for ad personalisation. You can opt out via Settings → Google → Ads. |
| Firebase Analytics | Anonymous, aggregated usage events (screens viewed, game sessions started, categories selected). No personally identifiable information. |
| Firebase Crashlytics | Automatic crash reports: device model, OS version, app version, crash stack trace. No user content included. |
| Game session data | All game state (scores, selected categories, turn order) exists only in memory during an active session. Nothing is persisted to device storage or transmitted to any server after the session ends. |
| SDK / Data | What is collected & why |
|---|---|
| Google AdMob | Serves ads on the free tier, including optional rewarded ads (for example to restore a missed daily streak, earn coins, or reveal a row). AdMob collects your Android Advertising ID (AAID) and general location (country/region inferred from IP) to serve personalised ads. Ads may be served through AdMob mediation partners (Unity Ads, Meta Audience Network and Liftoff Monetize), each of which operates under its own privacy policy. You can opt out of ad personalisation via Settings → Google → Ads on your device. Ads are permanently removed for players who buy the optional one-time ad-removal purchases. |
| Firebase Analytics | Collects anonymous, aggregated app-usage events: screens viewed, features used, session length. No personally identifiable information is included. Used to understand which features are valuable so we can improve the app. |
| Firebase Crashlytics | Collects automatic crash reports including: device model, Android OS version, app version, and the stack trace of the crash. No user content or personal data is included. Used exclusively to identify and fix bugs. |
| Google Play Billing | Processes the optional one-time purchases (Remove Ads and Puzzle Library Unlock). There are no subscriptions. All payment handling is done entirely by Google. We receive only the entitlement (purchased or not purchased) and never see, store, or process your payment card or billing details. |

Third-Party SDK Privacy Policies
The following third-party services operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them:
| Service | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|
| Google AdMob | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Firebase Analytics | firebase.google.com/support/privacy |
| Firebase Crashlytics | firebase.google.com/support/privacy |
| Google Play Billing | Google Payments Privacy Notice |
To control ad personalisation on your device: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalisation. On Android 12+, you can also reset your Advertising ID or delete it entirely. SiteNerd additionally offers an in-app choice under Settings → Ad personalisation. Riposo Puzzles asks for consent on first launch and offers Settings → Privacy choices where required.
Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR - EEA & UK Users)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the following legal bases apply to how data is processed through our apps:
- Legitimate interests - Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics (ActOut, GridNerd, Tick Talk, WordNerd) and Play Android vitals (PickleScore, Riposo Puzzles, SiteNerd) are used to improve app performance and fix crashes. This processing is in the legitimate interest of providing a stable, improving product.
- Consent - AdMob personalised advertising relies on your consent via your device's ad personalisation setting (and SiteNerd's in-app choice, or the Riposo Puzzles consent form on first launch). You may withdraw consent at any time by opting out of personalised ads in your Android settings.
- Contract performance - Google Play Billing data is processed to fulfil your purchase of the Remove Ads or Puzzle Library Unlock (GridNerd), Pro (PickleScore, SiteNerd), Premium (Riposo Puzzles) or Platinum (WordNerd) unlock.

Data Retention & Deletion
Local app data (GridNerd): Your daily puzzle progress, streaks, puzzle library progress, best times, coins, hints, achievements, settings, and purchase status are stored only on your device. Uninstalling the app permanently deletes this data. We cannot recover it once deleted. Clearing app storage in Android settings also deletes it.
Local app data (PickleScore): Match setup, scores, match history, settings, and Pro status are stored only on your device. Uninstalling the app permanently deletes this data. We cannot recover it once deleted. Clearing app storage in Android settings also deletes it.
Local app data (Riposo Puzzles): Scores, streaks, themes, achievements, Challenge and Daily progress, settings, and Premium status are stored only on your device. Uninstalling the app permanently deletes this data. We cannot recover it once deleted. The Reset Progress control in Settings deletes it without uninstalling.
Local app data (SiteNerd): All calculations, history, job folders, favorites, and settings are stored only on your device. Uninstalling the app permanently deletes this data. We cannot recover it once deleted. The optional Erase All Data control in Settings deletes it without uninstalling.
Local app data (WordNerd): All study progress, streaks, bookmarks, and notes are stored only on your device. Uninstalling the app permanently deletes this data. We cannot recover it once deleted.
Firebase data: Crash reports and analytics events are retained by Google per their standard data retention policies (typically 90 days for Crashlytics, configurable for Analytics). This data is not linked to any identifiable user on our end. PickleScore, Riposo Puzzles and SiteNerd send nothing to Firebase.
AdMob data: Ad impression and interaction data is managed by Google per their advertising data policies.
Payment data: We retain no payment records. All transaction history is managed by Google Play.
Children's Privacy
Our apps are not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If you believe a child has used our apps in a way that has resulted in personal data collection, please contact us at kreedo.tech@gmail.com and we will take appropriate action promptly.
Security
Because we do not transmit personal data to our own servers, the attack surface is minimal. Local data (GridNerd puzzle progress, streaks, achievements, and settings; PickleScore match history and settings; Riposo Puzzles scores, progress, achievements, and settings; SiteNerd calculations, history, jobs, and settings; WordNerd study data) is stored in each app's private sandboxed storage on your device, inaccessible to other apps.
For data processed by Firebase and AdMob, Google's enterprise-grade security infrastructure applies. No electronic system is 100% secure, but we have taken reasonable steps to minimise risk within our control.
California Residents (CCPA)
California residents have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). You have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, and to opt out of the sale of personal information.
We do not sell personal information. For any CCPA-related requests, contact us at kreedo.tech@gmail.com.
Do-Not-Track & Advertising Controls
Our apps do not respond to browser-level Do-Not-Track (DNT) signals. However, you can control ad-related tracking at the device level:
- Android 12 and above: Settings → Privacy → Ads → Delete Advertising ID
- Android 11 and below: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalisation
Opting out means AdMob will serve non-personalised ads rather than no ads. Purchasing the ad-removal options in GridNerd, Pro in PickleScore or SiteNerd, Premium in Riposo Puzzles, or Platinum in WordNerd, removes all ads entirely.
Changes to This Policy
We will update this policy when we add new apps, integrate new SDKs, or when applicable laws change. The "Updated" date in the navigation bar reflects the most recent revision.
For material changes (new types of data collection, new third-party SDKs), we will post a notice on the relevant Play Store listing. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
