Last updated: 14 October 2026 · Effective date: 14 October 2026


INTRODUCTION

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your Personal Data and how we treat it.

This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile game Sushi Belt: Puzzle Game and any related services we operate (together, the "Services"). It explains how we (Noctis Tide Studios Private Limited, "we", "us", "our") collect, use, secure, and disclose end-users' ("you", "your") personal information when you use the Services.

The data controller is Noctis Tide Studios Private Limited, with a registered address at 106-C, Sidco Industrial Estate, Ambattur, Chennai 600098, Tamil Nadu, India. Contact email: creatives@noctistide.com.

A note on scope. Sushi Belt: Puzzle Game is a single-player game. It does not require an account, does not require a login, and does not transmit your personal game progress to our servers. The personal data associated with the Services is processed primarily by platform providers and third-party SDKs that enable free gameplay and in-app transactions — specifically Google (AdMob, Google Play) and Apple (App Store). We do not operate custom external analytics databases or private ad-serving infrastructure.

Audience & Child Protections. Sushi Belt: Puzzle Game is suitable for general audiences of all ages, including children. To protect younger audiences, advertising content is restricted to child-appropriate ratings, and personalised (targeted) advertising is served only where permitted by platform rules, applicable privacy regulations, and age verification standards. Contextual, non-personalised ads are delivered where consent is not provided or applicable age thresholds are not met. The core puzzle gameplay is fully accessible regardless of advertising preference.


1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW

While using the Services, certain data may be collected or processed by platform services and integrated SDKs:

Basic Identifiers

Mobile device identifiers and advertising identifiers (Apple IDFA on iOS subject to App Tracking Transparency consent, and Android Advertising ID / AAID on Android), alongside your IP address. These are collected by the Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) SDK when an ad request is generated. Where personalised advertising is disabled or restricted, identifiers are not used to build targeted behavioral advertising profiles.

Commercial & In-App Purchase Information

When you make in-app purchases, transactions are handled securely through the Apple App Store (Apple In-App Purchase) or Google Play Billing. We offer the following optional purchases:

  • Remove Ads (Non-consumable: disables interstitial and banner ads permanently).
  • Coin Packs (Consumable: packs of 50, 100, or 300 coins for in-game utilities).

We never receive or store your credit card details, billing address, or banking credentials. We only receive digital transaction receipts and product confirmation tokens from Apple and Google to validate and unlock the purchased features locally.

Device & Technical Information

Device model, operating system and version, screen resolution, app version, language, time zone, and general network connection type as reported by operating systems and network libraries for rendering and display optimization.

Usage & Local Gameplay Storage

All progress indicators — including completed puzzle levels, accumulated coins, remaining ad-skip credits, audio settings, haptic feedback preferences, and ad-free entitlement flags — are stored strictly locally on your physical device using local application storage (PlayerPrefs). We do not sync or upload this gameplay data to proprietary external servers.

Platform Services (Google Play Games / Game Services)

On Android devices, the game package includes support libraries for Google Play Games Services. Where you are actively logged into Google Play Games on your device, standard platform account interactions and authentication checks may occur directly between your device and Google's servers in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

Ad Interaction Data

Ad impressions, completions, dismissals, and reward fulfillment confirmations. The game offers optional Rewarded Ads where players can voluntarily choose to watch a video ad in exchange for in-game rewards (such as retrying a level or acquiring ad-skip credits). Completion callbacks are processed locally to grant the earned item.

Customer Support Correspondence

If you email us directly for support inquiries, we will receive your email address, your name (if attached to your email profile), and the details of your inquiry solely for the purpose of assisting you.

What We Do NOT Collect

Sushi Belt: Puzzle Game does not collect or request access to: your precise GPS location, contacts, address book, calendar, photos, camera, microphone, health data, biometric data, or sensitive personal identity numbers.


2. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND SDks

Our game integrates trusted third-party SDKs necessary to provide advertising, billing, and platform integration. These partners handle data according to their respective privacy terms:


3. PURPOSES AND LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING

Data processed in connection with the game is utilized under the following legal bases:

  • Performance of a Contract: To provide core puzzle functionality, fulfill in-app purchases (such as unlocking ad-free gameplay or adding coins), and maintain your local progress.
  • Consent: Where required by local laws (such as GDPR/UK GDPR for ad personalization or Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework on iOS), processing is based on affirmative user consent.
  • Legitimate Interests: To display contextual ads supporting the free-to-play model, prevent fraudulent impressions, ensure technical stability, and troubleshoot user issues.
  • Legal Compliance: To comply with tax, financial, and digital store record-keeping requirements for processed transactions.

4. DATA RETENTION AND DELETION

Because gameplay progress, coin counts, and ad-free flags are saved locally on your device storage, you have complete control over this data. Uninstalling the application or clearing the app data cache from your device settings permanently removes all local progress and associated identifiers stored on that device.

For purchases, transaction receipts are preserved within your Apple ID or Google Play account history as governed by their store policies.


5. YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES

Depending on your jurisdiction (including the EU/EEA, United Kingdom, and California/US state privacy regimes), you have rights regarding your personal information, including:

  • The right to withdraw consent for targeted advertising at any time.
  • The right to opt-out of ad tracking via device operating system controls:
    • iOS: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking to disable permission for apps to request tracking.
    • Android: Go to Settings > Privacy > Ads and choose Delete advertising ID or Reset advertising ID.
  • The right to access, rectify, or request deletion of personal information you have submitted directly to us via support inquiries.
