Privacy Policy (Ortho)

Effective Date: March 17, 2026

PLEASE READ:

The App is intended to be monetized using third-party services, including Huawei Petal Ads, InMobi, and Honeygain. Those third parties may collect and process data as described below and under their own privacy policies.

1. WHAT THE APP DOES

Ortho is a spelling practice game. You pick a difficulty level (Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced), answer multiple-choice spelling questions, and view your high scores.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

A) Information you provide

  • The App does not require account registration.
  • We do not ask you to submit your name, email address, phone number, or other direct identifiers to use core features.

B) Information stored on your device (local-only)

The App stores some data locally on your device to provide features:

  • Theme preference (light/dark).
  • Game scores/high scores per difficulty level.

This information is stored locally and is used to remember your settings and show your statistics.

C) Information collected automatically (including by third parties)

Depending on your device configuration and which monetization services are enabled in the App, the App and/or third-party SDKs may automatically collect:

  • Device information (e.g., device model, OS version, language, region, time zone).
  • App usage information (e.g., screens viewed, interactions, performance diagnostics).
  • Network information (e.g., IP address, connection type, carrier).
  • Advertising identifiers and similar identifiers (e.g., OAID/Advertising ID), and basic event data for ad delivery, measurement, and fraud prevention.

3. MONETIZATION AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

A) Advertising (Huawei Petal Ads and InMobi)

If the App shows ads, advertising partners may collect and use data to:

  • Deliver and display ads.
  • Measure ad performance (impressions, clicks, conversions).
  • Detect and prevent fraud and abuse.
  • Provide ad personalization where permitted (based on your settings and applicable law).

B) Honeygain (bandwidth-sharing / monetization)

If Honeygain functionality is enabled in the App, it is intended to be OPTIONAL and require your explicit opt-in before it runs.

If you choose to enable Honeygain, Honeygain and/or its partners may collect and process data such as:

  • IP address and network routing information.
  • Device identifiers.
  • Connectivity and performance metrics.
  • Information necessary to operate the Honeygain service (which may involve sharing part of your unused network bandwidth).

Important notes about Honeygain:

  • Honeygain is a third-party service. Its data practices are governed by Honeygain’s privacy policy and terms.
  • If enabled, the service may operate in the background while you use your device.
  • You should only enable Honeygain if you understand and agree to the concept of sharing unused bandwidth.

4. HOW WE USE INFORMATION

We use information to:

  • Provide core gameplay and remember your settings and scores.
  • Improve app quality (e.g., performance, reliability).
  • Support monetization (ads and/or optional Honeygain) and comply with partner requirements.
  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or security incidents.
  • Comply with legal obligations.

5. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

We may share information:

  • With third-party service providers used for monetization (including Huawei Petal Ads, InMobi, and Honeygain).
  • When required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request.
  • To protect rights, safety, and security (for example, to prevent fraud or abuse).

6. YOUR CHOICES AND CONTROLS

A) Local data

  • You can clear the App’s local data via your device settings.
  • Uninstalling the App generally removes locally stored data.

B) Ads and personalization controls

  • Reset or limit the advertising identifier (OAID/Advertising ID) in device settings.
  • Limit ad personalization through system privacy settings.

C) Honeygain opt-in / opt-out

  • You should be able to enable or disable it at any time from within the App.
  • Disabling Honeygain stops bandwidth sharing.

7. DATA RETENTION

Local preferences and scores remain on your device until you clear storage or uninstall. Third-party partners retain data according to their own policies and legal obligations.

8. SECURITY

We take reasonable measures to help protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The App is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, please contact us.

10. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Third-party services may process data on servers located in different countries. Data may be transferred outside your country of residence subject to applicable safeguards.

11. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Effective date" above when we make changes.
