1. Introduction
Venusapps Private Limited (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the mobile application Matchy (the “App”). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use the App.
By using Matchy, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
2. Summary
Matchy is a free casual game. We do not require an account and do not collect personal information on our own servers. Game progress (such as high scores and settings) is stored only on your device. We do not sell your personal information.
3. Information We Collect
3.1 Information stored on your device
The App saves the following locally on your device:
- High scores
- Game settings (sound, voice, and mode preferences)
- Other gameplay preferences needed to run the App
This data stays on your device and is not sent to our servers. Uninstalling the App may remove this data.
3.2 Information we do not collect
We do not collect:
- Name, email address, or phone number (unless you choose to email us)
- Location data
- Contacts, photos, or files
- Payment information (the App is free)
We do not use third-party analytics that track you across apps or websites in the current version of Matchy.
3.3 Optional feedback (user-initiated)
If you tap Feedback in the App, your device’s email app may open with a pre-filled message that can include:
- Device name and model
- Operating system version
- App version
You choose whether to send the email. We only receive what you voluntarily send to info@venusapps.com.
3.4 Rewarded advertisements (optional)
The App may offer an optional “Save Me” feature that lets you watch a short rewarded advertisement to continue playing after losing all lives.
When real ads are enabled, advertisements may be served by a third-party ad provider (such as Google AdMob). That provider may collect information as described in their own privacy policy, which may include:
- Device identifiers (e.g., advertising ID)
- IP address
- Ad interaction data
You can limit ad personalization in your device settings (e.g., Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization on Android).
Note: If ads are not yet active in your version of the App, this section will apply when they are enabled.
3.5 On-device speech
If you enable voice prompts, the App uses your device’s built-in text-to-speech to announce game targets. Speech is processed on your device and is not sent to us.
4. How We Use Information
We use information only to:
- Run and save your game (scores and settings on your device)
- Respond to support or feedback emails you send us
- Show optional rewarded ads (when enabled)
- Improve the App and fix issues
We do not use your information for targeted marketing emails or sell it to third parties.
5. Children’s Privacy
Matchy is designed to be family-friendly. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable age in your country) on our servers.
Because the App does not require registration and stores game data only on the device, children can play without providing personal information to us. If you believe a child has sent us personal information by email, contact us and we will delete it.
Parents and guardians can review and reset App data by clearing the App’s storage in device settings or uninstalling the App.
6. Third-Party Services
The App may use or link to:
| Service | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Device storage | Save scores and settings on your device |
| Device text-to-speech | Optional voice prompts |
| Email client | Optional user-initiated feedback |
| Ad network (when enabled) | Optional rewarded video ads |
Each third party operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review those policies when ads or other services are active.
7. Data Retention
- On-device data: Kept until you clear app data or uninstall the App.
- Support emails: Kept only as long as needed to handle your request, unless law requires longer retention.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable measures to protect information we receive (e.g., via email). Data stored on your device is protected by your device’s operating system. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
9. Your Choices and Rights
You can:
- Turn off sound and voice in App Settings
- Decline to use the feedback email feature
- Decline rewarded ads (simply don’t tap “Save Me”)
- Reset or delete local data via Settings → Apps → Matchy → Storage
- Limit personalized ads in your Android system settings
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold. Contact us at the email below.
10. International Users
If you contact us from outside your country, information you send may be processed where we operate. By using the App and contacting us, you consent to that processing where permitted by law.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version at this URL and change the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy.
