ELIXA

Elixa (“the game”, “we”, “us”) is a puzzle game published by Mateus Amaral. This policy explains what data the game handles and why. We do not sell your data, show you ads, require an account, or track your identity.

Summary

• No accounts, no login, no personal information collected.
• No advertising and no ad networks.
• No third-party tracking or data brokers.
• Your game progress is stored only on your device.
• We collect anonymous, aggregate gameplay analytics to make the game better (e.g. which levels are too hard). These analytics are not used to identify you.

What we collect

1. On-device game data (never leaves your device)

Your level progress, stars, and app settings are saved locally on your device using standard app storage. This data is not transmitted to us and is removed if you uninstall the game or use the in-game “Reset progress” option.

2. Anonymous gameplay analytics

To understand how the game is played and improve difficulty and performance, the game sends anonymous gameplay events to our analytics provider, PostHog. These events describe gameplay, not people. Examples of what is sent:

• Which level was started, solved, or abandoned, and how long it took.
• Number of moves, undos, and invalid moves (to calibrate difficulty).
• Anonymous rendering-performance samples (frame timings) to detect stutter on different devices.
• Coarse technical context: device model, operating-system version, app build type, and randomly generated identifiers (a per-install analytics id and a session id) that are not linked to you, your device’s advertising ID, your name, email, or any account.

We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, precise location, contacts, photos, advertising identifiers, or any other personal or sensitive information. We never ask you to sign in.

Our analytics provider (PostHog) may briefly process your device’s IP address to deliver and secure the service and to infer a coarse region (such as country). We do not use it to identify you or to build a profile of you, and it is not shared with advertisers.

The identifiers are random values created for analytics grouping only; they are not tied to your identity and cannot be used to contact or re-identify you.

Why we collect it

Solely to operate and improve the game — balancing puzzle difficulty, finding and fixing performance problems, and understanding which features are used. We have a legitimate interest in improving the product; the data is anonymous and minimal.

Who processes the data

• PostHog — product analytics, used to store and aggregate the anonymous events above. See PostHog’s privacy information at posthog.com/privacy.

We do not share data with advertisers or data brokers, and we do not sell data.

Data retention

Anonymous analytics events are retained by our analytics provider for a limited period for aggregate analysis and then expire. On-device data persists until you delete it or uninstall the game.

Children’s privacy

Elixa does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. Because we collect no personal or identifying information and show no ads, the game does not build profiles of any user.

Your choices

• Reset progress: clear all on-device progress from the in-game Settings.
• Uninstall: removes all on-device data.
• Contact us (below) with any privacy question or request.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and post the new version at this URL.
