Privacy Policy
Summary
Dreamlines is an offline puzzle game. It has no accounts, no sign-in and no servers of ours. Your puzzle progress never leaves your device.
The one exception is advertising: the game shows ads supplied by Google AdMob, and the Google Mobile Ads SDK collects some information in order to serve and measure those ads. That is described below.
Who is responsible
Dreamlines is published by an independent developer. For any privacy question or request, write to mshaheerturab@gmail.com. We answer requests about personal data within 30 days.
Information stored on your device
The game saves your solved levels, Daily Dream streak, stardust balance, achievements and settings in the app’s private storage on your device. We cannot read it, it is not uploaded anywhere, and deleting the app removes it. You can also erase it at any time from Settings → Reset all progress.
If you switch on the daily reminder, the reminder is scheduled locally by your device. No push service is involved and no reminder data is sent anywhere.
Advertising
Ads are provided by Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may process your device advertising identifier, IP address, coarse location derived from that IP address, device and app information, and interactions with ads (for example that an ad was shown, clicked or that a rewarded video was completed).
Google acts as an independent controller for this processing. Google’s handling of the data is described in its Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy and in "How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services" at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
We do not receive, store or have access to any of this data as personal data. We only see anonymous, aggregated earnings reports in the AdMob dashboard.
Your choices about ads
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the game asks for your consent before personalised ads are used, through Google’s certified consent management platform. You can review or change that choice at any time from Settings → Ad privacy choices.
If you are in a US state with an applicable privacy law, the same screen lets you exercise your choices, including opting out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising.
You can also reset or delete your advertising identifier in your device settings under Settings → Google → Ads.
Declining personalised ads does not remove ads and does not limit any part of the game. You will simply see less relevant, non-personalised ads.
Legal bases (EEA, UK and Switzerland)
Personalised advertising and the storing of information on your device for that purpose rely on your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). You may withdraw consent at any time from Settings → Ad privacy choices; withdrawal does not affect processing carried out before then.
Non-personalised advertising, fraud prevention and security relating to ad delivery rely on the legitimate interests of Google and of the developer in funding and protecting a free game (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)).
Your rights
Depending on where you live you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to lodge a complaint with your data protection authority.
Because the game itself holds no personal data about you, requests about the data processed for advertising should go to Google, whose contact details are in its privacy policy. You may also write to mshaheerturab@gmail.com and we will help you direct the request.
Children
Dreamlines is not directed to children. It is rated for a general audience but is not designed for or aimed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age where you live), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Ad requests are configured to exclude child-directed treatment and to allow only ad content rated suitable for teens or below.
If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact mshaheerturab@gmail.com and we will act on it.
Data retention and transfers
Game data stays on your device for as long as the app is installed. Advertising data is retained by Google according to its own retention schedules, and may be processed in countries outside your own under the safeguards described in Google’s privacy policy.
Permissions the app uses
Internet and network state: required to request ads. The game itself is fully playable offline.
Notifications: only requested if you turn on the daily reminder, and used only for that reminder.
Vibration: used for touch feedback, and can be switched off in Settings.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this address and inside the app, with a new effective date. Material changes affecting your consent will be presented to you again in the app.
