Privacy Policy

Information we collect

We do not collect any information directly from you. Courier Sort has no account, sign-in or registration, and the game has no servers of its own that receive your data.

We do not collect, receive or store:

• personal information (name, email, phone number, address)
• precise location, contacts, photos, files, camera or microphone data
• payment or purchase information
• your saved game progress

The only information that leaves your device while you play is collected by Google's advertising service to show ads, as described in Advertising (Google AdMob).

Google Play, which you use to download the game, may collect data about your download under Google's Privacy Policy. Google shares only aggregated, anonymous statistics with us through the Google Play Console, such as install counts, ratings, and crash and stability reports from people who chose to share diagnostics with Google. None of it identifies you.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

Courier Sort is free to play and is supported by ads from Google AdMob, an advertising service provided by Google LLC (or Google Ireland Limited in the EEA, UK and Switzerland). The game shows two kinds of ads:

• Rewarded ads, which you choose to watch in exchange for an in-game bonus, such as double coins, a free booster or a second chance at a level. They are always optional, and you get the bonus only if you watch to the end.
• Full-screen ads between levels, shown occasionally after you finish a level. They never interrupt a level in progress and are not shown during the tutorial or the first levels.

What Google collects

When the game requests or shows an ad, the Google Mobile Ads SDK built into the game collects and sends to Google:

• Device identifiers: your device's advertising ID and app set ID
• Approximate location: derived from your IP address (not GPS)
• Ad interactions: for example which ads were shown, viewed or tapped, and app launches
• Diagnostics: technical information such as device model, operating system version, ad load times and SDK errors

Google uses this information to show and measure ads, to personalize ads where you have allowed it, to limit how often you see the same ad, and to prevent fraud and abuse. The data is encrypted in transit. Google processes it under its own policies; see Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

We do not receive the information Google collects about you. AdMob gives us only aggregated reports, such as how many ads were shown and how much they earned.

Personalized ads and consent

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the game shows Google's consent form before loading ads and asks whether Google may use your data for personalized ads. If you do not agree, you may still see non-personalized ads, which are based on context such as the game itself and your approximate location rather than your interests. You can change your choice at any time from Settings → Privacy options in the game.

Wherever you are, you can limit ad personalization for all apps on your device (see Your choices).

Data stored only on your device

To let you continue where you left off, the game keeps a save file in its private app storage on your device. It contains only game data:

• level progress, stars and best results
• in-game coins, gems, boosters, vehicles and warehouse upgrades
• missions, daily rewards and achievements
• the dates and times of your last sessions, used for daily rewards and offline earnings
• ad timing counters (for example, how many levels since the last ad), so ads are not shown too often
• your settings (music, sound effects, haptics, language)

This file never leaves your device. We cannot see it, and Android's automatic cloud backup is turned off for the game, so it is not copied to your Google account.

Device permissions

Courier Sort uses these Android permissions:

• Internet and network state (android.permission.INTERNET, android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE), used only to load and show ads.
• Advertising ID (com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID), which lets the Google Mobile Ads SDK read your device's advertising ID.
• Vibration (android.permission.VIBRATE), used for haptic feedback when you play. You can turn haptics off in the game's Settings.

The game does not request location, camera, microphone, contacts or storage permissions. Gameplay works without an internet connection; ads simply do not load while you are offline.

If you tap a link in Settings (for example this policy), it opens in your web browser, outside the game. The browser and the website you visit handle that visit under their own privacy policies.

Purchases and analytics

Courier Sort sells nothing for real money and uses no analytics or crash-reporting services of its own. Apart from the Google Mobile Ads SDK described above, it contains no third-party software development kits (SDKs) that collect data.

In-game currencies (coins and gems) are earned by playing or by watching optional rewarded ads, and stay in the save file on your device.

If a future update adds in-app purchases, analytics or any other data collection, we will update this policy and the game's Google Play data safety section before that update is released. The new policy will say exactly what is collected, by whom and why.

Children's privacy

Courier Sort is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and the game itself collects none from anyone.

Because the game shows ads from Google AdMob, Google may collect the device information described in Advertising. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used the game, you can reset or delete the device's advertising ID and contact us with any questions (see Contact us).

Your choices and data deletion

Ads. You can control how ads use your data:

• In the game: Settings → Privacy options lets you review or change your ad consent choice (in the EEA, UK and Switzerland).
• On your device: Android Settings → Privacy → Ads (or Google → Ads) lets you reset or delete your advertising ID. Once it is deleted, apps cannot use it for personalized ads.
• With Google: manage ad personalization in My Ad Center.
• Play offline: the game works without an internet connection, and no ads or ad data are requested while you are offline.

Game data. All game data is on your device and under your control. You can delete it at any time:

1. In the game: Settings → Delete Save Data. This erases your progress after two confirmations. Your settings (sound, music, haptics, language) are kept.
2. In Android: Settings → Apps → Courier Sort → Storage → Clear storage. This erases everything the game stored.
3. Uninstall the game. Android removes its save file with it.

Because we hold no data about you, there is nothing for us to access, correct, export or delete on our side. For data Google collects to show ads, you can use the controls above and Google's privacy tools to exercise your rights under privacy laws such as the GDPR or the CCPA. You can still contact us with any request.

Changes to this policy

We will update this policy whenever the game's data practices change, and always before releasing a version that collects new kinds of data. The "last updated" date at the top shows when it last changed. The latest version is always available at the same web address and through the link in the game's Settings.
