Exora World Bloom

1. Introduction & Overview

Welcome to Exora World Bloom ("we", "our", or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains our data practices regarding our mobile application Exora World Bloom on Google Play.

Exora World Bloom is an offline-first word puzzle and educational vocabulary game featuring the interactive Tiny Hero evening room cleanup mini-game. Our core philosophy is privacy-by-design: we do not collect, track, store, or sell any of your personal data on external servers.

2. What Information We Store

The application only stores functional game state data locally on your own device using Android's sandboxed local storage (SharedPreferences). This data never leaves your device and includes:

• Random Anonymous Player Identifier: A locally generated random identifier (e.g. ZEN-XXXXXX) used strictly for your local profile display.
• Gameplay Progress: Current level reached, solved target words, found bonus words, and high scores.
• Virtual Currency & Cosmetics: In-game coins earned through gameplay and unlocked cyberpunk themes.
• Daily Streak & Mini-Game State: Daily login streak timestamps and Tiny Hero cleanup quest progress.

3. Device Permissions & How They Are Used

Exora World Bloom requests only the minimal permissions required to provide intended gameplay functionality:

• Internet Access (android.permission.INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): Used solely to allow players to look up educational definitions of English words via the Free Dictionary API (api.dictionaryapi.dev) and to initialize Firebase services. We do not use internet access to transmit your personal data.
• Notifications (android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS): Optional permission on Android 13+ used to schedule local daily brain workout reminders and evening bonus notifications. Players can disable notifications at any time in the device system settings.
• Vibration (android.permission.VIBRATE): Provides tactile haptic feedback when dragging letters and completing word puzzles.

4. Third-Party Services

The application integrates a minimal set of reputable service providers:

• Google Firebase: Used for core application infrastructure initialization. Firebase privacy policy can be reviewed at policies.google.com/privacy.
• Free Dictionary API (api.dictionaryapi.dev): An open educational API used on-demand when users choose to view dictionary definitions of words. No personal identifiers are transmitted.
• Google Fonts: Embedded typography resources for visual styling.

No Third-Party Advertising: Exora World Bloom does not contain third-party ad networks (e.g., AdMob), cross-app tracking SDKs, or commercial behavioral tracking scripts.

5. Children's Privacy (COPPA & Families Policy Compliance)

Exora World Bloom is designed to provide safe, wholesome, educational word puzzle fun suitable for players of all ages, including children and families. In strict accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and Google Play Families Policy:

• We do NOT collect personal data from anyone, including children under 13.
• We do NOT display behavioral or targeted advertisements.
• No social media logins, public chatrooms, or location tracking exist in the application.

6. Data Security & Storage

Because your game data resides entirely within the private, sandboxed internal storage of your device, it is secured by the operating system's built-in access controls. Any communication with dictionary services occurs exclusively over encrypted HTTPS (TLS) connections.

7. Data Retention & Your Rights (Data Deletion)

You have full autonomy over your data at all times. Since data is stored strictly on your device:

• You can reset or erase all game progress, coins, and local player IDs at any time by clearing the app data via Settings > Apps > Exora World Bloom > Storage > Clear Storage / Clear Data.
• Uninstalling the application from your device immediately and permanently erases all locally saved game files.
• Detailed instructions can be reviewed on our dedicated Data Deletion Instructions Page.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect game updates or legal requirements. Any modifications will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
