Zen Poke Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy for Zen Poke
Last updated: March 17, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Zen Poke (the "App") and the Zen Poke pages on funnymanfinance.com collect, use, and share information when you use the App or contact support.
1. Scope
This policy applies to:
- The Zen Poke mobile app for iOS and Android
- The Zen Poke pages on funnymanfinance.com, including support, privacy, and terms pages
- Privacy and support requests you send to us by email
2. Intended Audience
Zen Poke is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.
3. Information We Process
Depending on how you use Zen Poke, we may process the following categories of information:
- Gameplay and app-usage data. This can include session starts and ends, puzzle starts and completions, puzzle duration, puzzle difficulty, progression depth, content download and install events, and similar product-usage events.
- Device and app diagnostics. This can include app version, platform, operating-system details, device state relevant to crashes or reliability, runtime errors, crash traces, and diagnostic context.
- Identifiers used by service providers. Firebase and platform services may use app-instance, installation, session, or similar identifiers to provide analytics, crash reporting, and service operation.
- Purchase and entitlement information. This can include whether Remove Ads was purchased or restored, store-related transaction state, and entitlement status. Billing itself is handled by Apple App Store or Google Play.
- Advertising and consent-related signals. If ads are enabled in the build you use, ad SDKs may process ad-delivery, measurement, consent, or preference-related information.
- Support communications. If you email us, we may receive your email address, the contents of your message, and any device or troubleshooting details you choose to include.
- Website traffic data. Our website host, GitHub Pages, and related infrastructure may process standard server or browser request information when you visit our website.
4. Information Stored Primarily On Your Device
Some Zen Poke data is stored locally on your device as part of the app's normal operation. This can include puzzle progress, unlock state, local settings, and ad-personalization preferences stored for that device.
5. How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Operate and improve Zen Poke
- Measure usage, feature health, and gameplay quality
- Diagnose bugs, crashes, and performance problems
- Deliver and restore the Remove Ads entitlement
- Provide ads and ad-related controls when ads are enabled
- Respond to support, privacy, and troubleshooting requests
- Protect the app, investigate abuse, and maintain service reliability
6. Third-Party Services We Use
Zen Poke currently uses or may use the following categories of third-party services in its shipped mobile builds:
- Google Firebase Analytics. Used to measure app usage, gameplay telemetry, retention, and content-demand patterns.
- Firebase Crashlytics. Used to receive crash reports, crash traces, and diagnostic context to investigate app stability issues.
- Google AdMob. Used for advertising delivery, measurement, and ad-related privacy or consent handling when ads are enabled.
- Apple App Store and Google Play. Used for app distribution, in-app purchases, restore flows, updates, and platform services.
- GitHub Pages / website infrastructure. Used to host Zen Poke website pages, including support and legal pages.
These third parties process data under their own terms, privacy notices, and service documentation.
7. How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information. We may share or make data available to service providers only as needed to operate Zen Poke, including analytics, crash reporting, ad delivery, app distribution, purchase processing, website hosting, and support handling.
8. Data Retention
We retain data for as long as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, support, and improve Zen Poke, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain business records. Retention may vary depending on the type of data and the service provider involved.
9. Your Choices
- You can manage ad-personalization preferences in the app's privacy or preferences screens when those controls are available.
- You can purchase Remove Ads to stop in-app ads for that entitlement.
- You can contact us with privacy or support questions using the support details below.
- You can also use privacy controls offered directly by platform providers or third-party partners, such as Apple, Google, or Google AdMob, where applicable.
10. International Processing
Zen Poke and its service providers may process data in countries other than the one where you live. By using the App, you understand that your information may be processed in jurisdictions with different data-protection laws.
11. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to a small indie app operation, but no system can guarantee absolute security.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
