Privacy Policy

Mind Trap: The Impossible Puzzle · Last updated: 22 October 2026

This policy explains what data the Mind Trap mobile game ("Mind Trap", "the game", "we") handles and why. In short: your game data stays on your device. Mind Trap has no user accounts and no servers of its own, and we do not receive any information about you. The game is free and shows ads from Google AdMob; the ads are the only part of the game that uses the internet.

1. Your game data

• Your progress, levels, stars, coins, times, achievements, Daily Challenge results and streaks, and settings are stored only on your device, in a local database inside the game's private storage.
• Mind Trap adapts its puzzles to you. It does this by keeping a skill rating for each puzzle type, worked out on your device from how you play (for example whether you solved a puzzle, how long it took and how many hints you used). This profile never leaves your phone.
• Coins are in-game currency earned by playing. They have no real-world value and cannot be bought or cashed out. Mind Trap has no in-app purchases.
• When you tap Share, the game opens your phone's share menu with a short text summary of your result. Nothing is sent unless you choose an app to share it with.
• If Android's device backup is turned on, your phone may include Mind Trap's game data in your personal Google backup, under Google's policies. We cannot access that backup.

2. Permissions

• Internet and network state: used only by the advertising SDK to load ads (see below). The game itself works fully offline.
• Advertising ID: used by the advertising SDK, as described below.
• Mind Trap does not ask for access to your camera, microphone, contacts, photos, files or location.

3. Advertising (Google AdMob)

Mind Trap shows ads provided by Google AdMob: banners on some menu screens, occasional full-screen ads between levels, and optional reward videos you can choose to watch for a free hint or to skip a level. To show and measure ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and share, under Google's own policies:

• Device identifiers such as the advertising ID,
• Approximate location derived from your IP address,
• App interactions with ads, and diagnostic and performance data.

This data is used for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention, and is encrypted in transit. Mind Trap asks Google to show only ads suitable for general audiences (rated PG or lower).

Where the law requires it (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and some US states), Mind Trap asks for your consent before any ad is requested, using Google's consent form. Where this applies, you can change your choice at any time in the game under Settings › Ad privacy choices. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings.

4. Data we collect

We, the developer of Mind Trap, do not collect, store or sell any personal data. We have no account system, analytics service or server that receives information from the game.

5. Data retention and deletion

Your game data remains on your device until you delete it. You can erase it at any time in the game under Settings › Reset all progress. Uninstalling Mind Trap, or clearing its storage in your phone's settings, also removes all of its data from your device.

6. Children

Mind Trap is a puzzle game for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Security

Your game data is kept in the game's private storage, which other apps cannot read.

8. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
