Welcome to Brain Detective. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the Brain Detective mobile game.
Brain Detective is a fictional mystery and brain-training puzzle game. The core game is designed to work offline, with game progress, puzzle activity, scores, achievements, and related preferences stored locally on your device.
2. Information Stored by the App
Brain Detective may store information locally on your device that is necessary to provide the game's features, including:
- Game progress and completed cases
- Puzzle scores and solve results

3. Puzzle and Gameplay Data
During gameplay, the app may process information related to your interaction with puzzles and investigations, such as selected answers, clue connections, case completion, accuracy, hints used, and solve times.
This information is used to calculate scores, update progression, unlock achievements, and provide gameplay feedback.
4. Offline Operation
Brain Detective is designed primarily for offline gameplay. The game's cases, puzzle logic, and core progress functionality can operate without an internet connection.
Core game progress is stored locally on your device rather than requiring an account or login.
5. Accounts and Login
Brain Detective does not require users to create an account or provide an email address or phone number to use the core game features.
6. Personal Information
Brain Detective does not require personal information such as your name, phone number, home address, or email address for the core gameplay experience.
Please do not enter sensitive personal information into any optional text fields or content areas if such functionality is introduced in a future version.
7. Device Permissions
The core puzzle gameplay does not require access to contacts, location, microphone, camera, or other unrelated device information.
If a future version introduces a feature that requires a device permission, that permission will be requested only when necessary for the relevant feature.
8. Advertising and Third-Party Services
The current core game is designed around local gameplay and does not require third-party accounts to function.
If advertising, analytics, crash reporting, or another third-party service is included in a particular version of the application, that service may process information according to its own privacy policy and applicable platform requirements.
9. Data Sharing
We do not intentionally sell or rent your personal information.
Information stored locally by the game remains on your device unless you choose to use an operating-system feature or third-party service to export, share, back up, or otherwise transfer information.
10. Data Security
Game progress and related gameplay information are stored using mechanisms available on the device and are subject to the security protections provided by the Android operating system and your device.
No method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should keep their device protected with appropriate security measures.
11. Data Retention and Deletion
Locally stored game information may remain on your device until it is cleared by you, removed through the app's available controls, or deleted when the application is uninstalled, depending on the Android device and storage behavior.
Clearing the app's storage through Android settings may remove locally stored game progress and preferences.
12. Children's Privacy
Brain Detective is a general-audience puzzle and entertainment game. The app does not intentionally require children to provide personal information to use the core gameplay features.
If you believe that personal information has been provided to us by a child in a manner that should not have occurred, please contact us so that the matter can be reviewed.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the application, features, services, or applicable requirements.
Any updated version will include a revised "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
