Privacy Policy

LAPSEWOOD - Last updated: September 6, 2026

This website can translate navigation and summaries for convenience. The full legal policy is provided in English, and the English version controls.

LAPSEWOOD ("we", "our", or "the app") is a single-player mobile puzzle game. This policy explains what data is stored locally, what third-party services may process data, and what choices you have.

1. Data Stored Locally

LAPSEWOOD stores game progress and preferences locally on your device. This may include completed levels, stars earned, discoveries, cosmetic choices, settings, daily challenge state, restoration progress, power-up stock, and local entitlement flags. Local save data is not sent to our own server.

2. Advertising and Consent

We may use Google AdMob to show advertisements. Rewarded ads are optional and are shown only when you choose to watch one for an in-game benefit. Interstitial ads, if enabled, appear only between gameplay moments and never during active puzzle play.

AdMob may process device identifiers, advertising data, ad interaction data, approximate location, device information, usage data, and diagnostics such as crash or performance data to provide, limit, measure, and improve ads. Personalized advertising is subject to your consent where required. See Google's Privacy Policy.

In regions where GDPR-style consent applies, LAPSEWOOD uses Google's User Messaging Platform to request ad consent before requesting ads. If you decline or limit consent and Google still permits ad requests, LAPSEWOOD requests non-personalized ads. You can reopen available ad privacy choices from the app's Settings screen.

On iOS 14.5 and later, Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt controls whether the app may track activity across other companies' apps and websites for personalized advertising. You can change this in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.

3. Purchases

The iOS purchase flow uses Apple StoreKit. Purchases are unavailable on Android. Apple handles payment processing, receipts, refunds, account-level purchase history, and payment credentials. LAPSEWOOD does not receive your payment card details or store account password.

LAPSEWOOD stores verified ownership, power-up stock, transaction identifiers and power-up use records locally to deliver purchases and avoid granting the same transaction twice. The iOS catalog includes Remove Ads, Founder Bundle, Golden Conservatory and the Power-Up Pack. Restoring purchases asks Apple to re-check owned non-consumable products; it does not recreate spent power-ups.

4. Analytics and Diagnostics

LAPSEWOOD currently has internal gameplay event names for development and balancing. In development builds, these may be logged locally to the console. No third-party analytics SDK is currently wired into the production app. If a third-party analytics provider is added later, this policy and the app store privacy disclosures should be updated before release.

5. Data We Do Not Collect

• No account is required.
• We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, photos, or precise location through LAPSEWOOD.
• We do not operate chat, public profiles, or user-generated public posts.
• We do not sell personal data.

6. Children

LAPSEWOOD is designed as a general-audience puzzle game. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate action.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

Local game data is stored on your device. Clearing app data or uninstalling the app can remove local saves and saved power-up stock. Device backups may retain copies. AdMob, Apple, Google Play, and other platform services retain data according to their own policies.

Reset Journey Progress in Settings clears campaign, Daily Bloom, Restoration and challenge progress, earned charge upgrades, and Atlas discoveries. It retains purchases, saved power-ups, cosmetics, journal, mementos and settings. It is not a full data-deletion control. For data handled by Google, Apple, or Google Play, use those providers' privacy tools or contact those providers directly.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, delete, correct, object to, or restrict processing of personal data. LAPSEWOOD's gameplay progress is stored locally. Reset Journey Progress clears only the journey data described above. For privacy questions, contact us using the address below.

9. Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top of this page reflects the latest version.
