Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Yes or No: Hard Mode (“the App”) handles information when you use it on your device.

1. What the App does

Yes or No: Hard Mode is a quiz game: you answer questions with Yes or No, track progress, and use optional boosts. Core gameplay and question content are designed to work offline on your device. The App does not require account registration and does not provide its own cloud login for storing your game data.

2. Data stored on your device

To work offline and remember your choices, the App stores information locally on your device using:

Local app storage (shared preferences and similar mechanisms) for settings such as language, selected categories, scores and progress, in-game currency and lives where applicable, optional display name or profile choices you enter, and other preferences needed to run the game.
Question and asset data bundled or loaded as part of the App for offline use.

This data is used only to provide App functionality on your device. We do not operate backend servers that receive or host this game database for the App in the way a cloud account would.

3. Permissions (Android)

Depending on your Android version and settings, the App may request or use:

Internet — to load advertisements and related SDK services where applicable.
Notifications — to show optional reminders you enable in the App (for example daily challenges or similar features).
Exact alarms / schedule exact alarm — to schedule reminders at the times you choose (where supported by the system).
Receive boot completed — so that scheduled reminders can be restored after the device restarts.

These permissions are used for advertising delivery, reminder scheduling, and related functionality. They are not used to access your contacts, messages, or photos.

4. Information we do not intentionally collect through the App

The App does not intentionally collect your name, email address, or phone number through the App itself for registration. Any optional nickname or similar input you choose is stored locally as described above unless you choose to share it outside the App yourself.

5. Data collected by third-party services

The App uses third-party services that may process certain data automatically:

Google AdMob — to show in-app advertising (for example banner and rewarded formats). AdMob may process identifiers and usage data (for example advertising ID where available, IP address, and ad interaction signals).

These providers may process limited technical and diagnostic data as described in their policies.

6. How we use information

To provide gameplay, scores, settings, and App features
To remember your preferences locally on the device
To display and optimize in-app advertising (via AdMob)
To maintain notification scheduling where supported by the operating system

7. Third-party policies

The App uses Google AdMob. Data processing by Google is governed by Google’s own policies:

8. Data retention

Locally stored data remains on your device until you delete it from within the App (where available), clear app data, or uninstall the App. Data collected for advertising or related services is handled by the respective third-party providers under their retention policies.

9. Children’s privacy

The App is not specifically directed to children under the age required by applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to address the issue.

10. Your choices

You can limit ad personalization through your device privacy and advertising settings. You may disable notifications for the App in system settings. You may clear app data or uninstall the App to remove locally stored information.

11. Security

We rely on the security mechanisms of your device and operating system for local data storage. Third-party SDKs (such as advertising) are provided by their vendors under their own security practices.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
