This Privacy Policy governs your use of the Arrow Go mobile application for Android, iOS, and its web edition. We believe that gaming should be peaceful and respectful of your privacy. Our core philosophy is to minimize data collection: we do not maintain user databases, we do not require account creation, and your gameplay progress remains securely on your local device.

- Audio & Haptic Settings: Background music mute toggle, sound effects (SFX) volume, and vibration toggle.
- Game Assist Counters: Available hints and solved puzzle milestones.

We employ robust industry-standard technical measures to protect any data handled during gameplay:
- Encrypted Transport (HTTPS/TLS): All communications between the app and third-party advertising SDK endpoints (Google AdMob) utilize modern TLS encryption protocols.
- Operating System Sandboxing: Android and iOS platform sandboxing strictly isolates Arrow Go local files from unauthorized access by other installed applications.
- No Server Attack Surface: Because we do not operate backend user databases or store credentials, your personal information cannot be leaked, breached, or compromised through our infrastructure.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect operational modifications, regulatory updates, or changes to advertising integrations.
Whenever changes occur, the updated policy will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date" and "Last Updated" timestamp at the top of the page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to remain informed about our commitment to your privacy.
