Privacy Policy

Overview

Kriptika is a word game offered by Erdem Papakçı that can be played offline. No account is required. Google Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics are used to understand usage and fix errors, and Google AdMob is used for optional rewarded ads.

Information stored on your device

Guesses, clues, progress, play time, mistakes, lives, recharge times, appearance and haptic preferences are stored on your device. The app does not send these records to a server or provide account or cloud sync. System backups depend on your Apple settings.

Analytics

Firebase Analytics processes app interactions, app and device information, app instance identifiers, and approximate location derived from IP addresses. Crashlytics processes crash reports, diagnostic information, and installation identifiers. This data is sent to Google for analytics and app stability. Puzzle answers and saved progress are not sent. Advertising identifier collection and ad personalization signals are disabled for analytics data. Google’s data processing information: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy.

Rewarded ads

When you choose to watch an ad to earn a life or a hint, a rewarded ad is shown through Google AdMob. Watching ads is optional. AdMob may process data such as IP address, approximate location, device and app information, ad interactions and app-specific device identifiers to deliver and measure ads and prevent fraud. The app does not ask for tracking permission and does not use the advertising identifier (IDFA); ads are requested as non-personalized and suitable for a general audience. Where required (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), Google’s consent form is shown when the app opens; you can change your choices under “Ad privacy choices” in Settings. How Google uses advertising data: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Permissions

The game does not request camera, microphone, location, contacts or photo library access. Haptic feedback can be disabled in Settings.

Contact

If you email support, your email address and message are processed to answer your request. Your chosen email service handles delivery under its own privacy terms. Please avoid unnecessary sensitive information.

Deleting records

Uninstalling the app removes local app records. System backups are managed separately through Apple settings. You may request access to or deletion of support correspondence using the contact address below.

Children’s privacy

The app has no accounts, chat or communication between users. Children are not asked for personal information during play.

Policy updates

This policy is updated when features or data practices change. The update date appears on this page.

Terms of Use

Scope

These terms govern use of Kriptika, provided by Erdem Papakçı. You are expected to comply with these terms and applicable law.

Right to use

The app is for personal, non-commercial use. Rights to its code, original design and content belong to their respective owners. Unauthorized copying or redistribution is prohibited except as permitted by applicable law.

Game rules and lives

Each number represents a letter and cells are filled separately. Starting clues cannot be changed. The third mistake ends an attempt and costs one life. You can hold five lives; one recharges every thirty minutes based on device time. Lives are for in-game use only, have no monetary value and cannot be transferred.

Local progress

Progress is stored on the device and may be lost after uninstalling, resetting the device or technical issues. The app offers no cloud backup or account-based restore service.

Fees and advertising

The app has no in-app purchases or subscriptions. You can optionally watch a short rewarded ad to earn 1 life or a hint. A hint reveals the letter for the number in the selected or first unsolved cell, in every cell with that number. The reward is granted when the ad service reports that the reward was earned; closing the ad early, an ad failing to load or connection problems do not grant a reward. You can hold at most five lives, and lives still recharge every thirty minutes without watching ads. Ads are not guaranteed to always be available.

Fair use

Do not use the app for unlawful purposes or interfere with its operation.

Changes and technical limits

Puzzles and features may change over time. Uninterrupted or error-free operation on every device is not guaranteed. These terms do not remove statutory rights that cannot be limited by contract.
