Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Jewel Match, a mobile game provided by Playforge Games, handles information when you use the game. It describes what information may be collected or processed, how it is used, how advertising and in-app purchases work, and how users can manage their privacy choices.
Jewel Match is a mobile game that may display advertisements and may offer in-app purchases. By using the game, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. Where required by applicable law, we may ask for your consent before showing personalized ads or using certain privacy-related features.
1. Information We Do Not Directly Collect
Jewel Match does not directly ask users to provide personal information such as:
- Name or surname
- Email address
- Phone number
- Precise location
- Contacts
- Photos or media files
- Camera data
- Microphone data
The game does not currently include a user account system, login feature, or developer-operated online profile system.
2. Local Game Data
To provide the gameplay experience, Jewel Match may store certain game-related information locally on your device. This may include:
- Level progress
- Number of attempts
- Win/loss status
- Coins, diamonds, lives, boosters, and rewards
- Sound, music, and gameplay settings
- Rewarded ad limits, continue rights, and similar game economy data
- Local purchase entitlement information, such as whether a “No Ads” purchase is active
This information is generally stored on your device and is used to make the game function properly. If you delete the app or clear the app data from your device settings, some or all local progress and settings may be removed.
3. Advertising and Google AdMob
Jewel Match uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. Google AdMob may process certain data to provide ads, measure ad performance, prevent fraud, improve ad quality, and show either personalized or non-personalized ads depending on your privacy choices and applicable laws.
Data processed by Google AdMob may include information such as:
- Device information
- Advertising identifiers
- IP address
- App interactions
- Ad interactions
- Approximate location derived from IP address
- Technical and diagnostic information
Jewel Match may use the following ad formats:
- Rewarded ads
- Interstitial ads
Rewarded ads are shown only when the user chooses to watch an ad in exchange for an in-game reward, such as extra lives, coins, bonuses, or similar rewards.
Interstitial ads may be shown at natural transition points in the game, such as after a failed level or between gameplay sessions.
If a user purchases a “No Ads” product, interstitial ads may be removed. Rewarded ads may still remain available because they are optional and provide rewards only when the user chooses to watch them.

4. Consent Management and Privacy Choices
Jewel Match may use Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request, collect, and manage advertising consent where required by law, including in regions such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland.
Through UMP, users may be asked to choose whether they allow personalized ads, non-personalized ads, or related privacy options.
Where available, users may be able to review or change their privacy choices from within the game. Privacy choices may affect the type of ads shown, but they do not prevent the user from playing the game.
5. In-App Purchases
Jewel Match may offer in-app purchases, such as coins, diamonds, boosters, starter packs, or a “No Ads” product. Purchases are processed through Google Play Billing and Unity In-App Purchasing.
Playforge Games does not collect or store users’ full credit card numbers, bank account details, or full payment account information. Payment processing is handled by Google Play.
The game may process limited purchase-related information, such as:
- Product ID
- Purchase status
- Transaction result
- Purchase entitlement
- Restore status
This information is used to deliver purchased items, verify purchase status, restore eligible purchases, and maintain game functionality.
6. Analytics, Diagnostics, and Game Performance
During development and testing, the game may generate technical logs related to gameplay, ads, purchases, errors, or debugging. These logs may include events such as level start, level completion, level failure, rewarded ad result, or purchase result.
These logs are intended for technical debugging and game improvement. They are not designed to collect normal player data and send it to developer-operated servers.
If additional analytics, crash reporting, or third-party data collection services are added in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated. Where required by law, users will be notified or asked for consent.
7. Sharing of Information
We do not sell users’ personal information.
Information may be processed by third-party service providers in the following cases:
- Google AdMob, for ad delivery, ad measurement, and fraud prevention
- Google User Messaging Platform, for consent and privacy choice management
- Google Play Billing, for in-app purchase processing
- Unity In-App Purchasing, for in-app purchase integration
- Legal, security, or fraud prevention purposes, where required to comply with applicable laws, protect users, prevent misuse, or protect our rights
Third-party service providers may process information according to their own privacy policies, terms, and data processing practices.
8. Data Retention
Local gameplay data may remain on the user’s device until the app is deleted, the app data is cleared, or the data is otherwise removed by the operating system.
Purchase entitlement information and advertising preference information may be retained for as long as necessary to restore purchases, apply user preferences, prevent fraud, and comply with legal or technical requirements.
Google, AdMob, Google UMP, Google Play Billing, and Unity may retain information according to their own privacy policies and retention rules.
9. Data Deletion and User Rights
Jewel Match does not currently include a user account system. Therefore, there is no in-game account that needs to be deleted.
Users can delete locally stored game data by:
- Clearing the app data from device settings
- Uninstalling the app from the device
For privacy questions, data requests, or deletion requests, users may contact us at:
We will review privacy-related requests and respond within a reasonable time, subject to applicable laws and the technical limits of our systems.
10. Children’s Privacy
Jewel Match is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed to children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If a parent or legal guardian believes that a child has provided personal information to us, they may contact us. If appropriate, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information.
11. International Data Processing
Google, Unity, and other third-party service providers may process information on servers located outside the user’s country of residence.
When data is processed internationally, it is handled according to the applicable privacy and data protection laws, as well as the privacy policies and terms of the relevant service providers.
12. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.
However, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date or last updated date.
If significant changes are made, we may provide additional notice where appropriate, such as through an in-app notice or website update.
