Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Arrows ("we", "us", or "our"), developed by NISHAD GAMES (Pvt) Ltd., collects, uses, stores, and protects your information when you play our puzzle game. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

By playing Arrows, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the game.

Information We Collect

We collect minimal data to provide and improve the game experience. The types of information we collect include:

How We Use Your Information

• Game Functionality: To save your progress, settings, and custom levels so you can continue playing across sessions.
• Level Editor: To store your created levels, drafts, and publish them to the community (if you choose to publish).

Third-Party Services

The standalone game does not include advertising, analytics, account, or publishing-platform libraries.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Data Storage & Security

• Local Storage: Most game data (progress, settings, drafts) is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly publish a level to our community server.
• Server Storage: When you publish a level, only the level data (title, author name, grid layout, arrow positions, difficulty rating) is sent to our server. No personal information is included.
• Security: We use industry-standard practices to protect data transmitted to our servers. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
• Data Retention: Published levels remain on our server indefinitely unless deleted by the author or removed for policy violations. Local data persists until you clear your browser storage.

Children's Privacy

Arrows is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information, please contact us immediately and we will remove such data.

The game does not require an account to play.

Your Rights & Choices

• Clear Data: You can clear all local game data by clearing your browser's localStorage for this site. This will reset your progress, settings, and saved levels.
• Delete Published Levels: You can delete your published community levels from the "My Levels" screen at any time.
• Do Not Track: We respect browser "Do Not Track" signals where technically feasible.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Arrows does not use traditional cookies for advertising or platform tracking. The game uses browser localStorage to keep progress, settings, drafts, and other local game state.

You can clear this local data through your browser storage controls.

Community & User-Generated Content

When you use the Level Editor and publish levels to the Community:

• Your level data (grid layout, arrow positions, title, author name, difficulty) is stored on our server and made publicly available to other players.
• You retain ownership of your created levels, but grant us a license to host, display, and distribute them through the game.
• Levels may be removed if they violate our content guidelines (offensive content, copyright infringement, etc.).
• Other players can play, share, and report your published levels.

International Data Transfers

Our game servers and third-party partners may be located in different countries. By playing Arrows, you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside your country of residence, which may have different data protection rules.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the game after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
