Privacy Policy

Hatchwork (“the app”) is a puzzle game for Android (package com.hatchwork.nonogram) published by GameHub Official. This policy explains what data the app handles. It matches the text shown in the app under Settings › Privacy policy.

Summary

Hatchwork does not ask for an account, your name, email, contacts, location or photos. Your puzzles and progress stay on your phone.

Data stored on your device

Progress, unfinished puzzles, settings and simple usage counters (for example, how many puzzles you finished) are saved only in the app’s private storage on your phone. They are not sent to us. They are excluded from cloud backup and device transfer, and they are deleted when you uninstall the app or use Settings › Reset progress.

Save codes

If you choose to create a save code (Settings › Move to a new phone), it contains your puzzle progress and statistics only, no personal information. It is shared only where you choose to send it (for example to your own email). Hatchwork never uploads it. Importing a code only reads the text you paste.

Advertising

The free version shows ads from Google AdMob on menu screens, never during a puzzle. To serve and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google’s software in the app may collect device information such as the advertising ID, IP address, app and device details, and ad interactions. Depending on your region and choices, ads may be personalised.

Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK and some US states) you are asked for your choice before ads are requested, and you can change it at any time in Settings › Ad privacy choices. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings.

Google’s use of this data is described at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Network

Puzzles work fully offline. The app uses the internet only to request ads and consent forms from Google.

Permissions

Internet and network state (ads), advertising ID (ads), and vibration (optional feedback). No location, camera, microphone, contacts, storage or notification permissions.

Children

Hatchwork is intended for people aged 13 and older and is not directed at children.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the new version will be published with an app update and at this address. For questions or requests, contact us:
