Privacy policy
Your game stays yours.
Cypherblare / Tharsan Ponnampalam operates Number Game. The game stores settings and scores on your device and uses TelemetryDeck, Apple Game Center, and Google advertising services as described below.
Effective 27 August 2026
The short version
- No Number Game account. The app has no developer-operated account system or gameplay backend.
- Local game data. Preferences, best times, and internal app state stay on your device.
- Anonymous analytics. TelemetryDeck reports a small gameplay funnel, app and device details, language, and configured region.
- Consent-aware advertising. Ads are personalised only when Google permits ads and you allow Apple tracking; otherwise ads remain contextual.
Data stored on your device
Number Game stores the following information in local app storage:
- Gameplay settings
- Best times
- Advertising frequency
- Pending Game Center score retries
- Migration state
Cypherblare / Tharsan Ponnampalam does not receive this local information. Deleting the app removes its local storage from that device.
Anonymous analytics
Number Game uses TelemetryDeck to measure app launches, game starts and finishes, difficulty, elapsed time, new best results, and a small set of advertising lifecycle events.
TelemetryDeck adds app version, device model and system version, app language, configured device region, accessibility settings, session information, and a hashed device identifier. The app does not send names, email addresses, Game Center identity, board contents, individual taps, precise location, or raw advertising identifiers.
TelemetryDeck analytics is enabled by default. The data is not shared with AdMob, is not used to create advertising audiences, and is not used to track you across apps or websites owned by other companies.
Advertising, consent, and tracking
Number Game uses Google Mobile Ads for interstitial advertising and Google User Messaging Platform to manage advertising consent and privacy choices.
Where required, Google presents a consent message. If Google permits ad requests and you authorise App Tracking Transparency, the app may request personalised ads and enable Google's publisher first-party identifier.
If you deny or restrict tracking, the app does not block gameplay. It disables publisher personalisation and the publisher first-party identifier, then requests contextual or non-personalised ads when Google permits ads.
Google and participating advertising providers may process information for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, diagnostics, analytics, consent management, and—when authorised—personalised advertising.
Settings shows Manage Advertising Privacy Choices whenever Google reports that privacy options are required.
Historical Firebase account link
The AdMob account is linked to Firebase and contains Google Analytics metrics from earlier app activity. Number Game 2.1 uses TelemetryDeck instead of Firebase Analytics. Older installed versions may continue sending historical Google analytics until they are updated or removed.

The app does not copy your Game Center profile or scores to a developer-operated server.
Retention and deletion
The app updates local values as you play, change settings, submit queued scores, or view an eligible ad. Delete the app to remove Number Game data stored on that device.
TelemetryDeck, Google, Apple, and Cloudflare control retention and deletion for information processed by their services. Use their privacy tools or contact them for requests about data they control.
Children
Number Game is not directed to children under 13. Cypherblare / Tharsan Ponnampalam does not knowingly collect contact information from children through the app.
