Privacy Policy

Last updated: 01.05.2025

Janko Buve, the developer of Sudoku Paperlike! ("I", "my", or "me"), builds and operates the Sudoku Paperlike! mobile application (the "App"). This page informs you of my policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use my App and the choices you have associated with that data.

Information Collection and Use

The App does not collect any personal data from users. It does not use any analytics, crash logs, or other tracking technologies.

Use of Google ML Kit Digital Ink Recognition

For handwriting recognition, the App uses Google's ML Kit Digital Ink Recognition API. Here are the key points regarding data privacy:

• Model Download: Upon the first start of the App, model data necessary for handwriting recognition is downloaded from Google servers. This is required for the functionality of the App.
• On-device Processing: All handwriting recognition processes occur entirely on your device. The input data (e.g., your handwriting) is not sent to Google servers for processing.
• Metrics Collection: Google collects performance and utilization metrics related to the use of the ML Kit APIs. These metrics help Google improve the service but do not include personal data.

For more information on Google's privacy practices, please refer to their Privacy Policy.

In-App Purchases

The App offers in-app purchases. All transactions are processed through the app store provider (Google Play Store or Apple App Store) and are subject to their privacy policies. I do not store or have access to your payment information.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

Since the App does not collect any personal data, it does not share or disclose any personal information to third parties.

Compliance with Laws

The App complies with applicable laws and regulations regarding data protection and privacy, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in the European Union.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. I will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
