Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Mixty ("we", "our", or "the app") handles information when you use our word puzzle game. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices.

By using Mixty, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the app.

Data Collection

Information We Collect

Mixty stores the following information locally on your device only:

• Game Progress: Current game state, letter selections, and found words
• Game Statistics: Your score, play time, rounds completed, and perfect rounds achieved
• User Preferences: Language selection, theme preferences, and onboarding status

Information We Do NOT Collect

Mixty does not collect, transmit, or store:

• Personal identifying information (name, email, phone number)
• Location data
• Device identifiers (IMEI, advertising IDs)
• Network activity or browsing history

Data Storage and Security

Local Storage Only

All game data is stored locally on your device using secure, platform-native storage mechanisms (Hive for Flutter). This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to back it up through your device's operating system backup features (such as iCloud or Google Drive).

Data Persistence

Your game data persists between app sessions and survives app updates. If you uninstall the app, all locally stored data is removed according to your device's operating system policies.

Security Measures

While we implement standard security practices for local data storage, the security of your device is ultimately your responsibility. We recommend:

• Keeping your device operating system up to date
• Using device lock screens and encryption features
• Only downloading Mixty from official app stores

Third-Party Services

Google Analytics

Mixty uses Google Analytics to understand how the app is used and to improve the player experience. Google Analytics collects anonymous usage data, including:

• Page views and screen visits
• Session duration and engagement
• Device type and browser type
• General geographic region (country or region level)

On the web version of Mixty, Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish between sessions. No personally identifiable information is included in this data.

Analytics data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking via your browser settings or by using Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Platform Services

The app also interacts with platform-level services provided by your device's operating system:

• iOS/iPadOS: May use Apple's standard platform APIs for app functionality
• Android: May use Google's standard platform APIs for app functionality
• Web: Uses browser local storage APIs

These platform services are governed by their respective privacy policies (Apple, Google) and are outside the control of Mixty.

Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your personal information with third parties. Anonymous usage data is shared with Google through Google Analytics to help us understand how the app is used, but this data contains no personal information and cannot be used to identify you.

Beyond analytics, all game data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

Children's Privacy

Mixty is a family-friendly word game suitable for all ages. Since we do not collect personal information, the app complies with children's privacy regulations including COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) and GDPR requirements for children's data.

Parents and guardians can feel confident that no personal information about their children is collected or transmitted when using Mixty.

Your Rights and Choices

Access and Control

You have complete control over your data:

• Access: All your game data is stored locally and accessible through the app interface
• Deletion: Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data
• Portability: Your data remains on your device and moves with device backups
• Analytics opt-out: You can opt out of Google Analytics via your browser settings or Google's opt-out tools

Reset Game Data

While the app does not currently provide an in-app data reset feature, you can reset all data by uninstalling and reinstalling the app. This will clear all game progress, statistics, and preferences.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will:

• Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy
• Notify users through an in-app notification for material changes
• Publish the updated policy on our website and within the app

Your continued use of Mixty after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
