Privacy Policy for RUFT
Effective date: March 17, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how RUFT (Rug Tufting Patterns) collects, uses, and stores data when you use the mobile game.
1) Information We Collect
RUFT may collect and store:
- Anonymous account identifier created by Firebase Authentication.
- Game progress and scores (for example stars, moves, and level results).
- Patterns you choose to save/share in Zen mode.
- Basic technical data needed for app operation (for example crash/debug logs from platform services).
RUFT does not require your real name, phone number, or precise location to play.
2) How We Use Data
- Save your progress across sessions/devices.
- Store and show saved/shared patterns.
- Maintain app reliability and prevent abuse.
3) Third-Party Services
RUFT uses Google Firebase services (such as Authentication and Cloud Firestore) to store game data and sync progress.
Firebase services are provided by Google and process data according to Google's own policies: Google Privacy Policy.
4) Data Sharing
We do not sell personal data. Data is shared only with service providers needed to run the app (for example, Firebase cloud infrastructure).
5) Data Retention
Data is kept while needed to provide game features. You can stop further collection by uninstalling the app. You can also request deletion of cloud-stored gameplay data by contacting us.
6) Children's Privacy
RUFT is a general audience puzzle game and does not knowingly collect personal information from children beyond what is required for core gameplay features.
7) Security
We use reasonable safeguards through trusted service providers, but no method of storage or transmission is 100% secure.
8) Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Updates are posted on this page with a revised effective date.
