1. Introduction & Overview
This Privacy Policy applies to all mobile applications, games, and related services (collectively, the “Applications” or “Services”) developed, operated, and published by Hi Creates (“Developer”, “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy and Google Play Store compliance, the organization name hi-creates represents and legally acts on behalf of the company and developer entity Hi Creates.
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any information related to your use of our Applications. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, storage, disclosure, and deletion of information when you download, install, and use any mobile application published by Hi Creates.

2. Information Collection and Storage
A. Personal Identifiable Information (PII)
Our Applications do NOT collect, require, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII).
- No user account registration or sign-in is required to use or play our Applications.
- We do not collect your real name, physical address, email address, phone number, contacts list, or government identification.
- We do not access or collect your device microphone, camera, photo library, or personal files.
B. Local Application & Gameplay Data (On-Device Storage)
To provide a smooth, responsive, and uninterrupted user experience, our Applications store user progress, settings, and preferences strictly locally on your device (utilizing local on-device databases and storage mechanisms such as Android Jetpack DataStore and Room database). This local data may include:
- Scores, achievements, level progression, and gameplay statistics
- Unlocked in-game content, catalog items, and theme selections
- User settings (such as audio volume, vibration haptics, and display preferences)
This data is stored strictly on your local device storage and is never transmitted to external developer servers.
C. Technical and Device Information Collected Automatically
When using our Applications, integrated third-party SDKs (such as Google Mobile Ads / AdMob) may automatically process non-sensitive device and diagnostic information to ensure application functionality, stability, and advertisement delivery:
- Device model, manufacturer, and screen resolution
- Operating system version (Android version)
- Internet Protocol (IP) address (used for approximate geographic region and localized ad delivery)
- Google Advertising ID (
AD_ID/ GAID) - Network connection type (Wi-Fi or Mobile)
- Non-identifying crash and performance diagnostics
3. Third-Party Services and SDKs
Our Applications integrate trusted third-party service providers that process technical data to facilitate core app functionalities and support free access via advertisements:
- Google Play Services
- Purpose: App integrity, platform support, and core Android Google services.
- Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
- Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK)
- Purpose: Displays in-app advertisements (banner, interstitial, and rewarded ads) to support free access to our Applications. AdMob may process your device’s Google Advertising ID and device metrics to serve relevant ads and prevent fraudulent activity.

- All advertising served through Google AdMob complies with applicable Google Play Families and COPPA policies.
7. Data Retention and Deletion (User Rights)
We respect your privacy rights and give you complete control over your data:
- Local Data Deletion: Because all application progress, settings, and scores are stored exclusively on your device, you can permanently erase all data at any time by:

- Alternatively, uninstalling the application automatically removes all associated local data.

8. Data Security
We prioritize the security of your data. All external network communications (such as asset loading and advertisement requests) are transmitted over secure, encrypted protocols (HTTPS / TLS) with cleartext traffic explicitly disallowed. While no transmission over the internet is completely infallible, we employ standard security practices to protect all user interactions.
9. External Links
Our Applications or websites may contain links to external sites (such as third-party privacy policies or advertising partners). If you click on an external link, you will be redirected to that third party’s website. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party service you visit, as we have no control over their practices or content.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect updates to our Applications, relevant laws, or Google Play Developer Policy guidelines. Any revisions will be published directly on this page with an updated “Last Updated” and “Effective Date”. We recommend reviewing this policy regularly to stay informed.
