Privacy Policy

1 Who this applies to

This policy covers the Ludos iPhone and iPad app ("the app", "Ludos"). The app is made by Tatiana Papastylianou ("I", "me"), based in Nicosia, Cyprus.

2 Information stored on your device

Ludos keeps your game data locally on your device only — it is never uploaded to me or to any server I control. This includes:

• Your streak, coins, lives, and daily-play dates
• High scores, games played, and unlocked achievements
• Recently-played games and your Premium unlock status
• Your language preference

Because this data lives on your device, deleting the app removes it. I have no way to see it or recover it.

3 Advertising (Google AdMob)

Ludos is free and supported by ads served through Google AdMob. To show ads, Google may collect and process information such as a device advertising identifier, general (coarse) location, IP address, and ad-interaction data. Google uses this to deliver and measure ads and to limit repetition.

Consent in the EU/EEA, UK and Switzerland. If you are in one of these regions, Ludos shows Google's consent message (Google's User Messaging Platform, a Google-certified consent management platform under the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework) before any ads load. It lets you accept, reject or customise the use of your data by Google and its advertising partners for personalised ads, ad measurement and storing or accessing information on your device. If you do not consent, Ludos shows only non-personalised or limited ads. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the Privacy choices option in the app.

Legal basis. For users in the EU/EEA and UK, personalised advertising and storing or accessing information on your device rely on your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) and the ePrivacy Directive). Google and its ad partners act as independent controllers of the data they process. You can see Google's list of ad partners in the consent message.

Tracking on iOS. Ludos also asks, through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, whether you allow tracking. If you decline, you still see ads, but they are non-personalised. You can change this any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

How Google uses advertising data is governed by Google's own policy: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

4 Purchases (Apple)

Ludos offers a one-time Premium purchase (remove ads, unlimited lives, unlock every game). Payment is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store and StoreKit. Apple processes the transaction; I never see or receive your payment details. The app only records, on your device, whether Premium is active. Apple's handling of your data is covered by the Apple Privacy Policy.

5 What I do not do

• No account, sign-up, name, or email is required to play
• I run no analytics or tracking SDK of my own
• I don't sell your data — I don't have it to sell
• I don't knowingly collect data from children

6 Your rights

Because I hold no personal data about you, there is nothing on my side to access, correct, or delete. For the advertising identifier and ad data handled by Google, you can reset or limit your advertising identifier in iOS Settings, and manage tracking through the App Tracking Transparency setting above.

If you are in the EU/EEA or UK, you have the right under the GDPR to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time (through Privacy choices in the app) without affecting processing that happened before. For data held by Google, you can also use Google My Ad Center.

For any question about your rights, contact me at support@steplan.app. You can also complain to a data protection authority. In Cyprus, that is the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection.

7 Changes

If this policy changes, I will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of Ludos after a change means you accept the updated policy.
