Spellementa Privacy Policy
Pre-release draft. The final version will be posted here, with its effective date, before the game is available to download.
1. Who we are
Spellementa is made and published by BrownBerg LLC. Contact: admin@brownbergllc.com.
2. The short version
| Free (ad-supported) | Paid (ad-free) | |
|---|---|---|
| What BrownBerg LLC collects | Nothing | Nothing |
| What third parties collect | The ad network may process your device's advertising identifier to serve and frequency-cap ads | Your app store keeps its own record of your purchase |
| Accounts / uploads / cloud | None | None |
| Where your progress lives | On your device only | On your device only |
We built the game so there is nothing to leak: no accounts, no logins, no chat, no uploads, no cloud storage, no analytics. Your progress is a local save file on your device, and uninstalling the game deletes it.
3. The free, ad-supported version
The free version shows short ads between levels, served by a third-party ad network. To serve ads and limit how often you see the same one, the ad network may process your device's advertising identifier (Google Advertising ID / Apple IDFA) and coarse technical data such as device model and approximate, country-level region.
This collection is performed by the ad network under its own privacy policy, not by BrownBerg LLC. We do not receive, store, or resell this data. Where the law or the platform requires it, the ad SDK is configured to serve non-personalized ads. See also Google's privacy policy and Apple's privacy policy. The final ad network and a link to its policy will be named here before launch.
4. The paid, ad-free version
Buying the remove-ads product turns ads off. After that, no third party collects anything through the game. The only record of you that exists is the purchase record your app store keeps under its own terms.
5. Payments and other third parties
- Google Play / Apple App Store process all purchases under their own privacy policies. BrownBerg LLC never sees, receives, or stores your card number or any payment credentials.
- Your card issuer or bank processes the charge under your agreement with them.
- We receive from the store only an anonymous confirmation that a purchase was made, so the game can turn ads off.
6. Use of AI
Spellementa's content — its art, audio, story text, and word puzzles — was created with the assistance of AI tools, under human direction and review. The app itself contains no chatbot, sends no user data to any AI service at runtime, and no user data is used to train AI systems.
7. No accounts, no uploads, no cloud
The game has no account system, no way to upload anything, and no cloud storage of any kind. Your progress — levels reached, words found, settings, purchase state — is stored in a single local save file on your device. Deleting the app deletes it. We cannot read it, restore it, or link it to you.
8. Children's privacy
Spellementa is a word puzzle game for a general audience. Because the game itself collects no personal information, it does not knowingly collect personal information from children. In the free version, the ad SDK is configured to serve non-personalized ads where required by law (including COPPA) and platform family policies.
9. Your rights (GDPR, CCPA, and similar laws)
BrownBerg LLC holds no personal data about you, so there is nothing for us to access, correct, delete, or port. For data handled by third parties:
- Ad identifier — reset or delete it any time: Android — Settings → Privacy → Ads; iOS — Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking / Apple Advertising.
- Ad network data — exercise rights directly with the ad network via its policy, linked above.
- Purchase records — managed by Google Play or the App Store under their policies.
If you believe we hold any personal data about you, contact us and we will respond.
10. Subscriptions and cancellation
If the remove-ads product is offered as an auto-renewing subscription:
- The subscription renews automatically through your app store.
- The game reminds you 10 days, 5 days, and 1 day before each renewal.
- Cancelling is easy and keeps your benefits until the period ends. There is no cancellation fee.
To cancel on Android: open the Play Store app → tap your profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Spellementa → Cancel subscription. Or use the Manage / Cancel Subscription button in the game's settings, which takes you straight there.
To cancel on iPhone/iPad: open Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Spellementa → Cancel Subscription. Or use the Manage / Cancel Subscription button in the game's settings.
Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; until then you keep ad-free play. Refunds are handled by the platform under its own policy.
11. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, the new version will be posted at this address with a new effective date. A change that expanded data collection would be called out in the app before it took effect.
