⚡ Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to SnapGrid ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our visual memory challenge game.

2. Information We Collect

SnapGrid is designed with privacy in mind. We collect minimal information:

• Local Game Data: Your game statistics, scores, levels, and progress are stored locally on your device using browser localStorage. This data never leaves your device.
• No Personal Information: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information.
• No Account Required: You can play SnapGrid without creating an account or providing any personal details.

3. How We Use Your Information

Since all game data is stored locally on your device, we do not have access to your information. Your game progress and statistics are used solely for:

• Displaying your personal game statistics and progress
• Enabling game features like saving your high scores and streaks
• Maintaining your game preferences (such as theme settings)

4. Data Storage

All your game data is stored locally on your device using browser localStorage. This means:

• Your data never leaves your device
• We do not have servers storing your information
• Your data persists only as long as you keep your browser's localStorage
• If you clear your browser data, your game progress will be reset

5. Third-Party Services

SnapGrid uses minimal third-party services:

• Google Fonts: We use Google Fonts to display the Poppins font family. When you load the game, your browser may request fonts from Google's servers. Google may collect basic information about your font request (such as IP address), but this is standard practice for web fonts and is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

6. Cookies and Local Storage

SnapGrid uses browser localStorage (not cookies) to save your game data locally. This includes:

• Game statistics (scores, levels, streaks)
• Theme preferences (dark/light mode)
• First-visit flag to control help modal display

You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage or browser data.

7. Children's Privacy

SnapGrid is safe for users of all ages. Since we do not collect any personal information, the game complies with children's privacy regulations. Parents and guardians can feel confident that their children can play without sharing any personal data.

8. Your Rights

Since all your data is stored locally on your device, you have full control:

• You can view your game statistics at any time through the game interface
• You can clear your game data by clearing your browser's localStorage
• You can stop playing at any time without any data retention concerns

9. Data Security

Since SnapGrid stores all data locally on your device, the security of your game data depends on the security of your device and browser. We recommend:

• Keeping your browser up to date
• Using secure devices and browsers
• Not sharing your device with unauthorized users if you want to keep your game progress private

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
