Kalimat wa Hikam

Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 29, 2026 · النسخة العربية

Welcome to “Kalimat wa Hikam” (كلمات و حكم), referred to as “the app” or “the game”. We respect your privacy. This policy explains what information the app processes, why, and what choices you have. By using the app you acknowledge this policy.

1. Summary

  • No account is required. We do not ask for your name, email or phone number.
  • We do not access your contacts, photos, precise location, microphone or camera.
  • Your game progress is stored on your device only.
  • We use two Google services: Firebase Analytics to understand and improve how the game is used, and AdMob to show ads.
  • We do not sell your personal data.
  • This version has no in-app purchases.

2. Information the app processes

a) Data stored on your device only

  • Your progress: completed levels, boards in progress and statistics.
  • Your hint balance and the time of the next free gift.
  • Your settings: sound, vibration, notifications, and whether you have seen the tutorial.

This data is not sent to our servers. It is deleted when you uninstall the app or use “Reset progress” in Settings.

b) Analytics (Firebase Analytics)

We use Google Firebase Analytics to measure game usage in aggregate. The following may be collected; it is not linked to your name or identity:

  • An app-instance ID (a random identifier for this installation).
  • Usage events: app opens, level started/completed and its number, game mode, hint usage, rewarded-ad views, settings changes and notification interactions.
  • Device and app information: device model, OS version, app version, language and screen size.
  • Approximate location (country/city) derived from the IP address. Full IP addresses are not stored in Analytics reports.

We use it to improve gameplay and learn which levels are hard or fun. See the Firebase privacy information.

c) Advertising (Google AdMob)

The app shows ads through Google AdMob: a banner on the home and game screens, an interstitial between levels, and an optional rewarded ad you can watch for 10 hints. To deliver and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google and its partners may collect:

  • Your device’s advertising ID.
  • IP address, device and app information, and ad interactions.

Ads may be personalised or non-personalised. In the European Economic Area, the UK and other regions where required, the app shows Google’s consent form (UMP) so you can choose, and you can change your choice later. Learn more about how Google uses data in advertising.

d) Notifications

Notifications are local: they are scheduled on your device (a notification when your free gift is ready and one or two daily reminders between 10:00 and 22:00). We do not use server push notifications and do not collect a push token. Notifications are on by default once you allow the system permission, and you can turn them off at any time in the app’s Settings or in your device settings.

4. Sharing

We do not sell your data. The data above is processed by Google as a service provider (Firebase) and as an advertising party (AdMob) under its own policies. We may disclose information where required by law or to protect against fraud or abuse.

5. Retention

Game data stays on your device until you delete it. Firebase Analytics data is kept for the period configured in the project (14 months at most) and then deleted automatically. Advertising data is governed by Google’s policies.

6. Your choices and rights

  • Notifications: turn them off in the app’s Settings or in system settings.
  • Ad personalisation: reset your advertising ID or opt out of ad personalisation in your device settings (Android: Settings → Google → Ads).
  • Consent (EEA/UK): change your choice through the consent form shown by the app.
  • Deleting data: uninstall the app or use “Reset progress”. To request deletion of analytics data tied to your device, or to ask about your rights (access, correction, deletion, objection), email us below. We will help as far as technically possible; note the data is pseudonymous and tied to a random ID.

7. Children

The app is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us information, contact us and we will act accordingly.

8. Security

We rely on encrypted connections (HTTPS) with Google services and keep game data on your device. No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.

9. Third-party links

Ads may lead to third-party sites or apps whose policies we do not control. Please review their privacy policies.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time; the effective date above will change. We encourage you to review it periodically.
