Last Updated: February 2025

1. OVERVIEW
   Hot Charm ("the App") is developed by Lifecharger. This policy describes how we handle your information. The App is intended for users aged 18 and older.

2. DATA WE DO NOT COLLECT
   The App does NOT collect:
   - Personal identifiers (name, email, phone number)
   - Location data
   - Contact lists or address books
   - Device identifiers or advertising IDs (beyond what Google AdMob may collect)
   - Browsing history or usage analytics

3. LOCAL STORAGE
   All game progress, preferences, puzzle completion data, coin balances, and settings are stored locally on your device. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly use the Cloud Sync feature.

4. CLOUD SYNC (OPTIONAL)
   If you opt into Cloud Sync via Google Sign-In, your game progress data (completed puzzles, coins, VIP status) is stored securely in the cloud. This data is used solely for synchronizing your progress across devices. We do not access, sell, or share this data with third parties.

5. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
   a) Google AdMob: The App uses Google AdMob for advertisements. AdMob may collect certain device information and advertising identifiers as described in Google's Privacy Policy. VIP users and ad-free ticket holders experience reduced or no ads.
   b) Google Play In-App Billing: Purchase transactions are handled entirely by Google Play. We do not store or have access to your payment information.
   c) Cloudflare: The App loads content from Cloudflare CDN. Cloudflare may log standard web request data (IP addresses, request headers) per their privacy policy.

6. AI-GENERATED CONTENT
   All visual content in the App is generated by Artificial Intelligence. No real persons are depicted in any images. Downloaded content includes embedded watermarks for AI disclosure compliance with EU AI Act and Turkish Law No. 7253.

7. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
   The App is NOT intended for users under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe a minor has accessed the App, please contact us.

8. DATA SECURITY
   Sensitive data such as coin balances and VIP status are stored using encrypted secure storage on your device. We employ industry-standard practices to protect your data.

9. YOUR RIGHTS
   Since we store data locally on your device, you maintain full control. You can delete all App data by uninstalling the App or clearing its data through your device settings.

10. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
    We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be reflected with an updated date. Continued use of the App constitutes acceptance.
