## 1. Information we collect
**Account and authentication.** If you sign in with Google, we receive identifiers and profile information that Google shares with our app (such as your Google account ID, name, email address, and profile photo) as permitted by your Google account settings and Google's policies.
**Game progress.** We store gameplay-related data you generate while signed in, such as game identifiers, difficulty selections, scores, completion status, times, and optional game-specific state needed to restore puzzles (for example saved grid data where a game supports it).
**Technical data.** Like most web services, our hosting and infrastructure may process standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, and timestamps when you make requests. We use this for security, reliability, and debugging.

## 2. How we use information
We use the information above to:
* Provide, operate, and improve the Services
* Authenticate you and maintain your session
* Save and sync your progress across devices
* Protect against abuse, fraud, and security issues
* Comply with legal obligations

## 3. Legal bases (where applicable)
Depending on your region, we may rely on bases such as: performance of a contract (providing the Services you request), legitimate interests (security and product improvement), and consent where required (for example where you accept Terms before sign-in).

## 4. Sharing and processors
We use service providers to run the Services, including:
* **Google (Firebase Authentication)** for sign-in
* **Database and hosting providers** you configure (for example PostgreSQL and your deployment platform) to store account-linked progress
These providers process data on our behalf according to their terms and privacy policies. We do not sell your personal information.

We retain information as long as needed to provide the Services and for legitimate business purposes such as security and legal compliance. You may request deletion of your account data where applicable law provides a right to erasure, subject to legal exceptions.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
