Carve: Shikaku Puzzle

Effective date: July 28, 2026 · App: Carve: Shikaku Puzzle (am.carve.game) · Contact: ando.sinanyan@gmail.com

The short version: Carve does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data. No accounts, no analytics, no advertising SDKs, no network access. Everything lives on your device and nowhere else.

What data the app collects

None. Carve requests no Android permissions — not even internet access. The app has no technical ability to send data off your device.

Specifically, Carve does not collect:

Names, email addresses, or any contact information
Location data
Device identifiers or advertising IDs
Usage analytics or crash reports
Contacts, photos, files, or any other device content

What is stored on your device

Your game progress is saved locally on your device so the app works:

Puzzle progress, completed levels, best times, and current streaks
In-progress board state (so you can resume a puzzle)
Settings and preferences (for example, hint credits and last-used puzzle size)

This data never leaves your device through the app. Uninstalling the app deletes it.

Device backups

Like most Android apps, Carve allows the Android system to include its saved data in your device backup (Google's Android Backup Service). Those backups are managed by Android and your Google account settings — not by Carve — and are encrypted by Google. You can disable device backups in your Android system settings.

Children

Carve does not collect data from anyone, including children. The app contains no ads, no purchases, no chat, and no external links inside gameplay.

Third parties

Carve includes no third-party SDKs and shares no data with third parties.

Your rights (GDPR, CCPA, and similar laws)

Because Carve collects no personal data, there is nothing for us to access, correct, delete, or port. Your game data is under your direct control on your device: deleting the app's storage or uninstalling the app removes it completely.

Changes to this policy

If a future version of Carve adds features that involve data processing (for example, optional rewarded ads), this policy will be updated before that version is released, the effective date above will change, and the in-app store listing will reflect it. Material changes will be summarized at the top of this page.
