Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 14, 2026

1. Overview

Tebak Kata Ngapak ("we", "us", or "the app") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile game application.

We do NOT collect any personally identifiable information. The game is designed to work entirely offline with data stored only on your device.

2. Data Collection

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information. The following data is stored locally on your device only using device storage (AsyncStorage):

• Game progress (levels completed, stars earned)
• In-game currency (coins) and experience points (XP)
• Daily challenge streak and completion records
• Sound and music preference settings
• Theme preferences (light/dark mode)

This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to any server. There is no cloud sync, no account system, and no login required.

3. Advertisements

This app displays rewarded advertisements through Google AdMob. Rewarded ads are optional — players choose to watch ads in exchange for in-game rewards (coins or hints).

Google AdMob may collect the following to serve ads:

• Device advertising identifier
• Approximate location (country-level)
• Device model and OS version
• App usage data related to ad interactions

AdMob's data practices are governed by Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Ads are NOT directed at children under 13. Ad content is filtered using Google's ad targeting policies.

4. Text-to-Speech

The app uses your device's built-in speech engine (expo-speech / Web Speech API) to pronounce Banyumasan words. No voice data is recorded, stored, or transmitted. The TTS engine processes text entirely on your device.

5. Social Sharing

The app includes a "Share Result" feature for daily challenges. This uses your device's native share sheet (e.g., WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram). The app does not post anything automatically — sharing is always initiated by the user.

6. Permissions Used

• Notifications — Optional, for daily challenge reminders (can be disabled)
• Vibration/Haptics — For tactile feedback during gameplay
• Audio Playback — For sound effects and background music

The app does NOT use: camera, microphone, contacts, location, SMS, phone state, or storage access.

7. Children's Privacy

This app is suitable for all ages and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The game content (Banyumasan word puzzles) is educational and family-friendly. Ads displayed are not targeted at children.

8. Data Deletion

You can delete all game data at any time by:

• Opening Settings → Reset Progress within the app, or
• Uninstalling the app from your device

This will permanently remove all game progress, coins, streak data, and settings from your device.

9. Third-Party Services

• Google AdMob — Advertising (see AdMob Privacy)
• Device Text-to-Speech Engine — Word pronunciation (handled by OS)

We do not use analytics services, crash reporting tools, or tracking SDKs beyond AdMob.

10. Security

Since no personal data is collected or transmitted, there is minimal security risk. Game data is stored locally on your device and is as secure as your device's own security measures.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
