Privacy Policy — Pondering: Calm Logic Puzzles

Last updated: November 15, 2026 · Daily Pick'em Corp.

Daily Pick'em Corp. ("we", "our", or "us") operates the mobile and web game Pondering: Calm Logic Puzzles ("Pondering"). This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and protected.

1. On-Device Progress & Offline Play

Local Save Data: Campaign progress, unlocked Lilyfolk friends, puzzle completion times, streaks, and audio or accessibility preferences are stored locally on your device.
No Account Required: You do not need to create an account or provide an email address, phone number, or password to play.

2. Optional Daily Leaderboard & Friend Codes

When you submit a Daily Pond puzzle solve or join a Friend Code board, a randomly generated device identifier, your chosen display name, selected avatar, solve duration, mistake count, and move-verification log are sent to https://pondering.dailypickem.net solely to verify fair solves and display daily standings.
All solo campaign puzzles operate completely offline and transmit no leaderboard data.

3. Advertising & Consent Choices

Pondering is free to play and supported by Google AdMob (optional rewarded videos and occasional breaks between puzzles).
Where required by regional law (such as EEA/UK GDPR or US state privacy laws), Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) asks for your ad consent preference before personalized ads are served. You may update your preference at any time inside the app via Settings → Ad privacy choices (when available in your region).
On iOS, Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt controls whether device advertising identifiers may be used for ad personalization.
AdMob may process pseudonymous device identifiers, coarse diagnostic logs, and ad-interaction events for delivery, frequency capping, and fraud prevention.

4. Children's Privacy

Pondering is intended for a general audience (ages 13+) and does not knowingly collect personal contact information from children.

5. Contact & Data Deletion Requests
