Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how PerfectRoti.com ("PerfectRoti", "we", "us", "our") handles information when you use our mobile apps, including BrainPaws: Find Hidden Pets ("BrainPaws") and Puzzle Yatra: India Edition ("Puzzle Yatra"), and our website perfectroti.com (together, the "Services"). Your privacy matters to us. We built our apps to work without accounts and without us collecting your personal information.

Our privacy promises

• We do not sell your personal data. Not to advertisers, data brokers or anyone else. We never have and never will.
• We do not collect personal data ourselves. No name, email, phone number, contacts, photos or account details are sent to us. Our advertising partner, Google AdMob, collects limited device data as described in section 6.
• No accounts or sign-in. You can play without registering or giving us anything.
• Your game progress stays on your device. It is never uploaded to our servers.
• No tracking without your permission. We do not track you across other companies' apps or websites unless you allow it through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt.
• No profiling. We do not build profiles about you or make automated decisions about you.

1. Information we collect

In our apps: BrainPaws and Puzzle Yatra have no accounts, and we do not collect, store on our servers, or receive any personal information from them.

Advertising (Google AdMob): both apps show ads through Google AdMob, using the Google Mobile Ads SDK. When ads are requested or shown, Google and its ad partners may automatically collect information from your device, such as your advertising identifier, IP address, approximate location, device and app information, and ad interaction data. This information goes directly to Google, not to us. See section 6 for full details and your choices.

When you contact us: if you email support, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message (for example, your device model or a screenshot). We use this only to answer you.

On our website: perfectroti.com does not use advertising or tracking cookies and does not require a login. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type and the page requested) for a short time, for security and to keep the site running.

2. Data stored only on your device

To save your game, BrainPaws stores the following on your device only:

• the round you have reached
• the paw ratings you earned
• your remaining hints
• the number of animals you have found
• your sound settings and whether you have seen the tutorial

Puzzle Yatra stores the following on your device only, inside the app's private storage:

• your game progress: solved puzzles, saved games, coins, hints, streaks, achievements and settings
• copies of photos you choose to add in My Family, so they can be turned into puzzles (your original photos are not changed)
• puzzle pictures downloaded from Wikimedia Commons, cached so they load faster

In Puzzle Yatra you can remove a family photo by long-pressing it in My Family and choosing Remove from game, or reset progress in Profile → Reset progress.

This data never leaves your device and we cannot see it. Deleting the app deletes this data. It may be included in your own device backups (for example, iCloud Backup), which Apple manages under its privacy policy.

3. Device permissions

BrainPaws does not ask for access to your camera, microphone, photos, contacts, calendar, location, Bluetooth, health data or notifications. Sound effects play through your speaker; the app does not record audio.

Puzzle Yatra accesses your photos or camera only when you tap Gallery or Camera in My Family, and only the photo you select is used. The app does not scan or read your photo library, and your photos are never uploaded. It does not ask for access to your microphone, contacts, location or notifications.

Internet use in Puzzle Yatra: most puzzle pictures are downloaded the first time you open them, from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org). As with any website, Wikimedia's servers receive standard technical information such as your IP address and the time of the request. This is handled under the Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy. No personal information from the app is sent with these requests.

4. Ratings and reviews

The app may show Apple's standard "Rate this app" prompt. This prompt is run entirely by Apple. We do not receive any information about whether or how you rated the app, except what you choose to post publicly on the App Store.

5. Purchases

The current versions of BrainPaws and Puzzle Yatra are free and have no in-app purchases. If we offer purchases in the future, Apple or Google will process all payments. We never receive your card or payment details.

6. Advertising with Google AdMob

BrainPaws and Puzzle Yatra are free because they show ads. These ads are provided by Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC (and Google Ireland Limited for users in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland), using the Google Mobile Ads SDK built into the apps.

Please be aware that showing ads may collect some information about you and your device. When an ad is requested, shown or tapped, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect and send to Google:

• your device's advertising identifier (IDFA on iPhone, only if you allow tracking; Advertising ID on Android)
• your IP address and approximate (coarse) location derived from it
• device information, such as device model, operating system version, language, screen size and network type
• app information, such as the app name and version
• ad interaction data, such as which ads were shown, viewed or tapped
• diagnostic and performance data, such as crash logs and ad loading times

Google uses this information to deliver ads, measure ad performance, limit how often you see the same ad, prevent fraud and abuse, and, where you have allowed it, show personalised ads based on your interests. Google may share this information with its advertising partners. See how Google uses information from apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.

Your choices:

• On iPhone, Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt asks your permission before your advertising identifier is used for tracking. If you choose "Ask App Not to Track", you will see only non-personalised ads.
• In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, you will be asked for consent before personalised ads are shown, and you can change your choice at any time in the app.
• You can turn off tracking at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking, or on Android in Settings → Google → Ads (delete or reset your Advertising ID).
• Non-personalised ads still use some information, such as your IP address and device information, to show, measure and protect ads, but not to build an interest profile about you.

We do not receive, see or store your advertising identifier or the data Google collects through ads. We receive only combined reports (such as the total number of ads shown) that do not identify you. We do not sell your personal data. Because the data collected by AdMob is controlled by Google, its handling is governed by Google's policies, and we are not responsible for Google's practices.

7. How we use information

We use the limited information described above only to:

• answer your support requests and feedback
• keep our website secure and working
• meet legal obligations

We do not use your information for marketing emails, and we never send you messages you did not ask for.

8. Sharing and selling

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share information only:

• with Google AdMob, which collects device data directly through the ads in our apps, as described in section 6
• with service providers that help us run the Services (such as our email and website hosting providers), who may use it only on our behalf and must keep it confidential
• when required by law, a court order or a valid legal request
• to protect the rights, safety or property of our users, PerfectRoti or others
• as part of a merger or sale of our business, in which case this policy will continue to protect your information

9. Data retention

Support emails are kept only as long as needed to help you, and deleted within 24 months of our last reply. Website server logs are kept for no more than 30 days. Game data on your device stays there until you delete the app.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) for our website and email. Because our apps keep your game data on your device, there is very little data that could ever be exposed. Data collected by Google AdMob is protected by Google.

11. Children's privacy

BrainPaws and Puzzle Yatra are rated 4+. We do not collect personal information from anyone, including children. Ads in our apps are provided by Google AdMob, which may collect device data as described in section 6. Parents and guardians should supervise children's use of the apps and can limit ad tracking using the device settings in section 6. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). If you believe a child has sent us personal information, for example by email, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

12. Your privacy rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us to:

• tell you what personal information we hold about you, and give you a copy
• correct information that is wrong
• delete your information
• stop or restrict using your information, or object to how we use it
• withdraw consent you have given

Email support@perfectroti.com. We will reply within 30 days, free of charge. We will never treat you differently for using your rights.

EEA, UK and Switzerland (GDPR): where we process personal data, we do so to answer your requests (legitimate interest or to take steps at your request), to meet legal obligations, or with your consent. You also have the right to data portability and to complain to your local data protection authority.

California and other US states (CCPA/CPRA and similar laws): we do not sell personal information. Google AdMob may use device data for personalised advertising, which some state laws treat as "sharing"; you can opt out by declining tracking or personalised ads as described in section 6. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information. We honour Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals on our website.

India (DPDP Act): you may access, correct and erase your data, and nominate another person to exercise your rights. Contact us at the email below.

13. International transfers

Our service providers may process information in countries other than yours. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, to protect it.

14. Third-party links

Our Services may link to websites we do not control, such as the App Store. Their privacy practices are covered by their own policies.

15. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page with a new "Last updated" date. If a change is significant, such as a change to how ads collect data, we will update the App Store privacy details before the change goes live.
