Privacy Policy.

1. Who operates Target Trace?

Target Trace is published by Stavros Pournias, trading as Agora Studio, based in the United Kingdom. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the publisher of Target Trace.

For privacy questions or requests, contact support@agorastudio.dev.

2. What stays on your device?

Target Trace stores puzzle progress, completed levels, daily challenge results, statistics, game settings and purchase-entitlement information locally so the game works without an account.

We do not operate a Target Trace account system or sync your puzzle progress to our own servers. Core puzzles can be played offline. Local game progress is removed if you clear the app's storage or uninstall it, unless your device's operating system separately restores backed-up app data.

3. Advertising

The free version of Target Trace uses Google AdMob to display occasional ads between puzzles and optional rewarded ads for hints.

Google and its advertising partners may process information such as advertising or device identifiers, IP address, approximate location inferred from IP address, ad interactions, and app or device diagnostics. The exact information depends on your device, settings, consent choices and the SDK configuration.

These services use information to deliver, measure, secure and, where permitted, personalise advertising. Where required by law, advertising consent and privacy choices are handled through an in-app consent flow. You can also manage available advertising preferences through your device's settings.

Learn more in Google's Privacy Policy and Google's explanation of partner data use.

4. Optional ad-removal purchase

Target Trace offers an optional one-time purchase to remove ads and unlock unlimited hints. Purchases are processed by the relevant app store (Google Play or Apple App Store, where available), and purchase status is managed through RevenueCat.

RevenueCat may receive an anonymous app user identifier, purchase history, transaction or receipt identifiers, entitlement status, and technical information needed to verify and restore purchases. We do not receive your payment-card details.

Learn more in RevenueCat's Privacy Policy and your app store's privacy information.

5. Why is this information used?

• Gameplay: to keep track of your progress and preferences on your device.
• Advertising: to support the free game and provide optional rewarded hints, subject to applicable consent and privacy requirements.
• Purchases: to complete, verify and restore your ad-removal entitlement.
• Security: to prevent fraud and maintain reliable advertising and purchase services.

Where UK or European data-protection law applies, processing may rely on performance of a contract, legitimate interests, or consent, depending on the activity and applicable requirements. You can withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing.

6. Sharing, location and retention

We do not sell your locally stored puzzle progress. Technical and purchase information may be processed by Google, RevenueCat and the applicable app store as described above. These providers may process information in countries outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, using safeguards where required.

Local progress remains until you clear it or uninstall the game (subject to any device backups). Third-party advertising and purchase records are retained according to the providers' policies and applicable legal obligations; we cannot delete store transaction records merely by uninstalling the app.

7. Your choices and data requests

No account is required or created. To remove local game data, clear the app's storage or uninstall Target Trace. This does not cancel or delete purchases held by an app store.

Depending on your location and the nature of the information, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection to personal-data processing. For questions or a request relating to information we can identify, contact us at support@agorastudio.dev. If relevant, include your app-generated identifier or transaction details, but do not send payment-card numbers.

You may also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the game, its service providers or legal requirements change. The updated text and date will be available on this page.
