Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Find Hidden Objects: Seek It, published by Digital Foundation ("we", "us", or "our"), handles information when you use the game.

Overview

Find Hidden Objects: Seek It does not require you to create a separate Digital Foundation account or directly provide personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or postal address.

The game uses third-party services provided primarily by Google for advertising, analytics, crash reporting, purchases, Google Play Games features, achievements, and cloud-based game progress synchronization. These services may automatically process certain information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Process

Depending on the features you use, information associated with the game may include:

• gameplay progress and game settings;
• Google Play Games player identifiers;
• achievement progress;
• cloud-saved game progress;
• app interactions and gameplay events;
• purchase and entitlement information;
• device and application identifiers;
• advertising identifiers, where applicable;
• IP address and approximate location derived from IP address;
• device, operating system, and application information;
• crash reports and diagnostic information; and
• interactions with advertisements.

We do not intentionally request or collect information such as your real name, postal address, phone number, or payment card details through the game.

Game Progress and Settings

The game stores gameplay progress and preferences locally on your device. This may include:

• completed and unlocked levels;
• current level and progression;
• discovered hidden objects;
• hint balance and hint usage;
• tutorial completion status;
• achievement-related progress;
• music, sound, and vibration preferences; and
• purchase-related entitlement status.

Some gameplay information may also be synchronized through Google Play Games Services so that supported progress can be restored after reinstallation or synchronized between compatible devices.

Google Play Games Services

Find Hidden Objects: Seek It uses Google Play Games Services to provide features associated with your Google Play Games profile.

These features may include:

• signing in to Google Play Games;
• associating gameplay with your Google Play Games player profile;
• tracking and unlocking achievements;
• synchronizing achievement progress;
• saving supported game progress to the cloud;
• restoring progress after reinstalling the game; and
• synchronizing or merging progress between compatible devices.

Google may process information associated with your Google account or Google Play Games profile, including identifiers used to associate game data with the correct player.

Find Hidden Objects: Seek It does not use your Google Play Games sign-in to create a separate Digital Foundation account.

Cloud Save and Progress Synchronization

The game may use Google Play Games cloud functionality to save and restore gameplay progress.

Cloud-synchronized information may include:

• completed and unlocked levels;
• current progression;
• discovered hidden objects;
• hint-related progress;
• achievement-related progress;
• game settings or progression metadata; and
• other information necessary to restore and synchronize game state.

Cloud synchronization is intended to allow game progress to survive application reinstallation and to be available across compatible devices using the same supported Google Play Games account.

When progress exists both locally and in cloud storage, the game may compare or merge available progress to maintain the player's game state.

Achievements

The game uses Google Play Games achievements.

Gameplay events relevant to achievements may be submitted to Google Play Games. These may include information such as:

• levels completed;
• hidden objects discovered;
• hints used;
• completion of certain gameplay challenges; and
• whether achievement requirements have been satisfied.

Achievement information may be associated with your Google Play Games profile and displayed through Google Play Games interfaces according to your Google account and Play Games settings.

Advertising

The game uses Google AdMob to display advertisements.

The game may display:

• interstitial advertisements; and
• optional rewarded advertisements that provide in-game rewards, such as additional hints.

Google and its advertising partners may process information such as:

• device identifiers;
• advertising identifiers, where available and permitted;
• IP address;
• approximate location derived from IP address;
• information about interactions with advertisements;
• diagnostic information; and
• other technical information used to provide, measure, secure, or improve advertisements.

Depending on your location and applicable law, Google or the game may present consent or privacy choices regarding personalized advertising and related data processing.

For more information about how Google handles information, please see Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Rewarded Advertisements

Rewarded advertisements are optional.

If you choose to watch a rewarded advertisement and successfully complete the required advertisement interaction, the game may provide an in-game reward such as an additional hint.

Information relating to the advertisement interaction may be processed by Google AdMob and its advertising partners.

Rewarded advertisements are optional and are not required to access the core gameplay.

Analytics

The game uses Google Analytics for Firebase to help us understand how the game is used and to improve gameplay.

Analytics information may include events such as:

• starting or completing a level;
• finding hidden objects;
• using hints;
• completing tutorials;
• interacting with advertisements;
• completing rewarded advertisements;
• interacting with in-app purchases;
• achievement-related interactions; and
• other gameplay and app usage events.

Analytics services may also process device, application, installation, and technical information.

We use this information to understand game performance, evaluate features, identify areas for improvement, and improve the player experience.

Crash Reporting and Diagnostics

The game uses Firebase Crashlytics to identify crashes, errors, and stability problems.

Crashlytics may process diagnostic and technical information such as:

• crash reports and stack traces;
• application state at the time of an error;
• device model and hardware information;
• operating system information;
• application version;
• application and installation identifiers; and
• other technical information relevant to identifying and resolving errors.

We may also attach limited game-state information to diagnostic events where useful for identifying a problem, such as the current level or relevant application state.

We use this information to diagnose technical problems and improve the stability and reliability of the game.

In-App Purchases

The game offers an optional one-time Remove Ads purchase through Google Play Billing.

Payments are processed by Google Play. Digital Foundation does not directly receive or store your payment card number or other payment credentials.

Google Play may provide the game with information necessary to determine whether a purchase was successfully completed and whether the applicable entitlement is active.

The game may store purchase entitlement information locally and may query Google Play to verify or restore the entitlement, including after reinstalling the game or using another compatible device with the purchasing Google account.

Purchasing Remove Ads disables interstitial advertisements. Optional rewarded advertisements that players voluntarily choose to watch in exchange for in-game rewards may remain available.

Third-Party Services

The game currently uses services provided by Google, including:

• Google Play Games Services;
• Google Play Games cloud save functionality;
• Google Play Games achievements;
• Google AdMob;
• Google Analytics for Firebase;
• Firebase Crashlytics; and
• Google Play Billing.

These services may process information according to their own privacy policies, terms, and data-processing practices.

Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may provide certain rights concerning personal information, such as rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing.
