Privacy policy.

Overview

Tawa Nicolas operates Tessellink, a mobile puzzle game for iOS and Android. You can play without creating an account. The game keeps progress and preferences on your device. Gameplay analytics are optional. If you buy the complete game, the app store and RevenueCat process information needed to deliver and restore your purchase.

Contact the operator about this policy or a privacy request at tawanicolas@gmail.com.

Information kept on your device

The game saves puzzle progress, unlocked content, settings such as audio and reduced motion, your analytics choice, and a local purchase-access cache using device storage. If you opt into analytics, it also creates and saves a random install identifier for that service. These local records let the game resume and remember your choices.

Reset Progress in the game removes saved game progress. Uninstalling the app normally removes its local data, subject to device backups and platform behavior. Reset Progress does not erase purchase records held by an app store or RevenueCat.

Optional gameplay analytics

At first launch, Tessellink asks whether you want to allow gameplay analytics. If you decline, the app does not initialize GameAnalytics or submit gameplay events. You can change your choice at any time in Settings under Anonymous analytics.

If you allow analytics, Tessellink sends GameAnalytics a random install identifier and events about sessions, game mode, puzzle or chapter progress, replay status, and purchase steps. Completion events can include time spent, moves, restarts, and hints used. The identifier does not contain your name, but it lets GameAnalytics link events from the same installation. Its SDK may also process app and device technical information to provide the service. Tessellink disables advertising-ID collection and does not intentionally send names, email addresses, or screen recordings as gameplay events. We use these events to understand and improve the game; your consent is the basis for this optional processing.

Turning analytics off stops future event submission from the app. It does not automatically delete earlier events held by GameAnalytics. To ask about earlier data, contact us. GameAnalytics describes its processing in its developer privacy information.

Purchases and access to paid content

If you buy the complete game, Apple App Store or Google Play processes the payment under its own terms. Tessellink uses RevenueCat to check and restore access to paid content. RevenueCat may process an anonymous app customer identifier, device information, purchase history, and store receipts or purchase tokens for that purpose. Tessellink does not receive your full payment-card details. We process purchase information to perform the purchase contract and restore your access. This is separate from your gameplay analytics choice.

If purchase alerts are enabled, RevenueCat sends limited purchase events to a Firebase service operated for Tessellink. Its alert records contain an event ID, time, store, product, price and currency when available, country, environment, event type, and alert-delivery status. They do not intentionally store receipts, purchase tokens, customer email addresses, or analytics identifiers. Alerts may be delivered to the developer through Pushover and Resend to monitor and troubleshoot purchases. Our legitimate interest in monitoring purchase delivery is the basis for these alerts.

RevenueCat describes its handling of end-user information in its privacy policy. Apple and Google describe their own handling of store purchases in their respective privacy notices.

Website and support

This website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. It has no advertising or analytics scripts, account system, or contact form. Cloudflare processes technical web requests needed to deliver and secure the pages. If you email support, we receive your email address and the information you send so we can respond. Please avoid emailing payment-card details or other sensitive information. Our legitimate interest in answering requests and keeping the website available and secure is the basis for this processing.

Your choices and requests

• Play without enabling gameplay analytics, or turn it off later in Settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that happened before withdrawal.
• Use Reset Progress to clear game progress on your device.
• Ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of data associated with the game by emailing tawanicolas@gmail.com. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to restrict or object to processing, obtain portable data, and complain to a data-protection authority.

We may need information that lets us locate an anonymous analytics or purchase record. Deleting a RevenueCat customer record could affect access to purchased content, so we will discuss available restoration options before acting on such a request. Apple or Google control their own store transaction records.

Retention and security

Local progress and preferences remain on your device until you reset or remove them. GameAnalytics publishes a retention schedule that varies by record type. RevenueCat keeps purchase information as needed to provide entitlements and under its privacy policy. The Firebase purchase-alert code does not set an automatic expiry for alert records, which are kept for purchase monitoring and troubleshooting until they are deleted. Support correspondence is kept as needed to respond to your request and handle related legal or operational needs. You can contact us about a specific record or deletion request.

Data sent between the app, website, and service providers uses encrypted connections where supported. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Service providers and international processing

Depending on the feature you use, information may be handled by Cloudflare (website hosting), GameAnalytics (optional analytics), RevenueCat (purchase access), Apple or Google (app-store purchases), and, if purchase alerts are enabled, Firebase, Pushover, and Resend. These providers may process information outside your country, including in the United States. Their privacy notices describe their processing and transfer safeguards. Contact us if you need more information about a particular transfer.

Children

Tessellink is intended for a general audience and is not designed specifically for children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the game or support email, please contact us.

Contact and changes

For privacy questions or requests, contact Tawa Nicolas at tawanicolas@gmail.com. We may update this policy when the game or its services change and will post the revised effective date here.
