Information we collect

Device identifier

The app generates or reads a device-specific identifier, hashes it with SHA-256, and sends the hash to our servers in the X-Device-ID request header when fetching puzzles. We use this identifier to deliver daily and archived puzzles, enforce rate limits, and prevent abuse. The hash is not intended to identify you by name or contact information.

Gameplay and app analytics

We use Google Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous usage information, such as:

These events help us understand how the game is used and improve the experience. We do not intentionally collect your name, email, or precise location through analytics.

Advertising

Textagons may show optional ads through Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK), including rewarded ads for extra hints and interstitial ads after completing a puzzle. Google and its partners may collect device and ad-interaction information to deliver, measure, and prevent fraud related to ads. At this time, Textagons does not request permission to track you across other companies' apps and websites using Apple's Advertising Identifier (IDFA).
