Privacy Policy for DedokuEffective date: 29 July 2026
Last updated: 29 July 2026Dedoku: Detective Sudoku (“Dedoku”, “the App”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a detective logic puzzle game operated by Danyil Zborovskyi.This Privacy Policy explains what information is processed when you use Dedoku, why it is processed, how it is handled, and the choices and rights available to you.## 1. Data ControllerFor the purposes of applicable data-protection law, including the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the data controller is:Danyil Zborovskyi## 2. Information Stored Only on Your DeviceDedoku stores information needed to operate the game locally on your device, including:- Puzzle progress and completed cases
- Game statistics and streak information
- App preferences and settings
- Your Analytics consent choiceWe do not receive this locally stored information. It remains on your device unless it is included in a device backup managed by you or by your device platform provider. You can remove locally stored Dedoku data by deleting the App or by using any reset options provided in the App.## 3. Firebase Remote ConfigDedoku uses Firebase Remote Config, a service provided by Google, to retrieve operational configuration such as the minimum supported App version and to display an update-required screen when necessary.To provide this service, Firebase may process technical information including:- A Firebase installation identifier
- Device country code
- Language and time-zone settings
- Operating-system version
- App version
- Firebase App ID and Dedoku bundle identifier
- Basic SDK, platform, and device informationWe use this information only to operate, maintain, secure, and ensure the compatibility of Dedoku. We do not use Remote Config information for advertising or to create personal profiles.Our legal basis under the GDPR is our legitimate interest in providing a reliable, secure, and compatible App. Remote Config is an operational part of Dedoku and continues to function even if you decline optional Analytics.## 4. Optional Firebase AnalyticsDedoku uses Google Analytics for Firebase to understand general App usage, such as the approximate number of daily active users. Analytics is disabled by default and is activated only if you select Allow Analytics in the App.If you allow Analytics, Firebase may process:- App launches, sessions, and general engagement information
- App version and build information
- Device type, operating-system version, language, and similar technical information
- A randomly generated App-instance or installation identifier
- General geographic information, such as country or region
- Automatically collected diagnostic and usage information associated with the Analytics serviceWe do not intentionally send your name, email address, precise location, puzzle notes, or the content of your feedback messages to Firebase Analytics. We do not set a personal user ID, use the advertising identifier (IDFA), enable personalized advertising, or link Analytics to Google Ads.We process optional Analytics information on the basis of your consent. You may grant, refuse, or later withdraw consent in Dedoku under Settings → Privacy & Analytics.Withdrawing consent stops future Analytics collection. It does not automatically delete information previously processed with your consent. You may contact us to request deletion; however, because Dedoku does not require an account and Analytics data is associated with pseudonymous identifiers, we may not always be able to connect stored Analytics information to you personally.Declining Analytics does not prevent you from using the game.## 5.

- Your email address and email-display name, as provided by your mail account

- iOS version
- Device modelYou can edit or remove the draft and its technical information before sending it. No feedback information is sent to us unless you choose to send the email.We use feedback information to respond to you, investigate problems, and improve Dedoku. The legal basis is taking action at your request and our legitimate interest in providing support and improving the App.Your use of Apple’s Mail services is also governed by Apple’s own terms and privacy policy.## 6.
