1Who we are
Veygate is an Android maze puzzle game by Zydeno. Contact [email protected] about this policy or your privacy. This policy covers the Android app, not independent browsers, document providers or Google Play.
Developer identity. Zydeno is the developer name under which Veygate is published on Google Play, as shown on the app’s store listing. For the purposes of data-protection law, the developer is responsible (the “controller”) for the limited personal data described in this policy that actually reaches us, such as e-mails you send us. Data that stays on your device is under your control.
2Scope and current version
The current version works offline. It has no accounts, ads, purchases, analytics or third-party crash-reporting SDKs. This policy describes the version audited on 21 October 2026. The app does not connect to a Zydeno server.
3What we do not collect
We do not collect or share your game progress, usage events, identifiers, advertising ID, contacts, location, photographs, microphone recordings or device diagnostics through the app. No information is sold or used for targeted advertising. The app does not build a player profile on a server.
4What stays on your device
Veygate stores campaign and daily progress, completion records, move/undo journals and preferences in private app storage. These include active boards, daily board dates, completions, move counts, hints used, undo/redo history and the selected chapter or board. Preferences include language, appearance, sound, haptics, accessibility controls and reduced motion.
For regional date and number formatting, the app may read an available SIM/network country code, falling back to the device region. It does not read your phone number, precise position or cell-tower identifiers; the country code is used locally. Import recovery copies may temporarily retain an earlier state so an interrupted replacement can roll back. Small synthesized sound samples are cached locally. These records are not transmitted to us.
5Offline operation and external links
The release app does not request Android INTERNET or network-state permission and contains no network client. Campaign boards and the daily puzzle pool ship with the app. Daily selection uses the device date and local arithmetic; it does not fetch a challenge from a server. Sound effects are bundled original synthesis, not streamed audio.
Privacy and Terms links open your chosen external browser. Support opens your e-mail app without automatically attaching a save file. Your browser, mail provider, website hosting provider and Google Play may process technical information under their own policies; this is separate from game telemetry, which the app does not send. A failed browser launch offers an explicit copy-link action; it does not read your clipboard.
6Manual export and import
Files are accessed through user-initiated export/import through the Android Storage Access Framework. Export writes an archive containing progress and preferences to the location you select. Import reads the single archive you select, validates it and offers a preview before replacement. The archive includes game data and settings, not an account or credentials.
The system picker may offer a cloud-backed document provider. If you deliberately choose one, that provider may receive the exported file or supply the imported file under its own terms. This is your chosen file operation, not automatic cloud synchronization or a transfer to Zydeno. Archives are not encrypted by Veygate; protect the destination and any copies you make. The app requests no broad storage access.
7Permissions and automatic backup
No location, camera, microphone, contacts, notification or storage runtime permission is requested. The release manifest contains only the app-specific signature permission used by AndroidX to protect internal receivers. System audio and haptic controls do not record sound or identify you.
Android automatic backup is disabled. Cloud-backup and device-transfer rules exclude app storage. To move your progress to another device, export a copy yourself and import it there.
8Bundled software and sources
The game uses AndroidX / Jetpack Compose, Kotlin and kotlinx libraries, with permissively licensed local I/O and concurrency support from Okio, Guava ListenableFuture and JetBrains annotations. Bundled fonts are Atkinson Hyperlegible Next and Istok Web under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. Licenses and notices are available offline in Settings → About. No advertising, analytics, social, payment or account SDK is integrated. These libraries do not create a game data collection service.
9Your choices and deletion
You can change preferences, export a copy, inspect an import and delete all game progress and preferences in Settings → Your data. The delete confirmation offers export first. Successful deletion removes the game stores and restore copies; the app then starts with defaults. Clearing Android app storage or uninstalling also removes the app’s private data, subject to Android behaviour.
Deletion inside Veygate does not delete archives you saved elsewhere, messages you sent or copies held by a document provider. Remove those copies yourself or contact that provider. We cannot recover a local save or remotely erase a file we never received. No account exists to delete.
10Security and limitations
Android app isolation protects private storage. Saves and archives use integrity checks and bounded validation; these checks are not encryption or proof that a file came from a trusted person. Import only files you trust. Device compromise, shared access, storage failures or loss of a device can expose or destroy local records. No security measure is perfect; keep manual copies when progress matters to you.
11Legal bases for processing
Where the EU or UK GDPR, or a similar law such as the Swiss FADP or Brazil’s LGPD, applies, these are the legal bases for the limited processing described in this policy:
| Processing | Where it happens | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Storing your entries and settings in the app’s private storage | Your device only; we never receive it | Necessary to provide the app you choose to use (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Storage on your device is strictly necessary for that service, so no separate consent is needed under the ePrivacy rules. |
| E-mails you send to [email protected] | The developer and its e-mail provider | Our legitimate interest in answering you and improving the app (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or steps you ask us to take (Art. 6(1)(b)); keeping records where the law requires it (Art. 6(1)(c)). |
The app makes no automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you, does not build a profile of you and does not process special categories of personal data.
12Retention and support
Local game records remain until you replace or delete them, clear app storage or uninstall. Exported copies remain wherever you put them. If you voluntarily e-mail support, we receive your e-mail address, message and any attachments you choose to send. Do not send unnecessary sensitive information. Support correspondence is separate from the app’s offline operation.
Support e-mails. We keep e-mails you send us, and our replies, only as long as needed to handle your request and any follow-up, normally no longer than 24 months after the last message, unless the law requires us to keep them longer or we need them to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. You can ask us to delete them earlier.
13Ads, purchases and future versions
Today. The current version of Veygate is free of charge, shows no ads, has no in-app purchases or subscriptions, and contains no advertising, analytics or payment SDKs. This describes the app as it is now, not a promise about future versions. Future versions may introduce advertising, paid features, in-app purchases or subscriptions, or other optional services.
If ads are introduced. Ads would be supplied by a third-party ad network, for example Google AdMob. Ad networks typically process your device’s advertising ID, IP address, approximate location derived from the IP address, device and app information and your interactions with ads, in order to show ads, limit repetition, measure performance and prevent fraud, and, only where you allow it, to personalise ads. Ads would also require the app to connect to the internet, which the current version cannot do.
If purchases or subscriptions are introduced. They would be processed by Google Play’s billing system. Google handles your payment details under the Google Privacy Policy. We would receive only what is needed to deliver and verify a purchase, such as a purchase token, the product, its status, the country and the currency, never your full card or bank details.
Before any such change we will update this policy with a new effective date and version, describing what data is processed, by whom, why and how you can control it; update the Google Play Data safety section; mention the change in the release notes; ask for your consent where the law requires it (for example for personalised ads and non-essential access to your device in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, through a consent tool that meets Google’s requirements); and offer the opt-outs the law requires (for example under US state privacy laws). The change applies only from the app version that introduces it. Data already stored in the app will not be used for advertising without telling you first and, where required, getting your consent. We will not knowingly show personalised ads to children (§14).
14Age and intended audience
Veygate is intended for teenagers and adults aged 13 and above, not directed to children under 13. Its simple puzzle content does not itself mean it is designed for children. Content ratings and intended audience are separate. A parent or guardian should contact support if a child has sent personal information to us.
Age limits. In the EEA and the UK we also treat as a child anyone under the age at which a child may consent to online services in their country (between 13 and 16). If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has sent us personal data, for example by e-mail, write to [email protected] and we will delete it. If a future version includes advertising, it will be set up in line with applicable children’s privacy rules, such as COPPA in the United States, and Google Play’s policies.
15Your privacy rights
Privacy laws in many countries give you rights over your personal data. Because Veygate keeps your data on your phone and the developer does not receive it, most of these rights are in your own hands: you can view, correct, export and delete everything in the app (§9) and withdraw permissions in Android Settings. For data you have sent us, such as e-mails, write to [email protected].
EU and UK representative. The individual developer does not process personal data of people in the EU/EEA or the UK except occasional e-mails you choose to send to support. This occasional processing does not involve large-scale processing of special-category or criminal-offence data and is unlikely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms. Under Article 27(2)(a) GDPR and Article 27(2)(a) UK GDPR, it does not require an EU or UK representative, so none is appointed. Contact us directly at [email protected]; you can also complain to your local supervisory authority.
Rights by region. A summary; the law where you live decides the details.
- European Union, EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland (GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss FADP): access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection to processing based on legitimate interests, withdrawal of consent at any time, and complaint to a supervisory authority, for example in the country where you live or work (in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office).
- United States (California CCPA as amended by the CPRA, and the comprehensive privacy laws of other states such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas and Oregon): to know and access, delete, correct and port personal information; to opt out of its sale or sharing, of targeted advertising and of profiling; to limit the use of sensitive personal information; to appeal a refusal; to use an authorised agent; and not to be discriminated against for using these rights. Notice for California residents: in the last 12 months the developer has not collected personal information through the app, other than e-mails you chose to send us. We have not sold or shared personal information, and we do not use sensitive personal information. Global Privacy Control signals are honoured where the law requires; today there is nothing to opt out of.
- Canada (PIPEDA and provincial laws, including Québec’s Law 25): access, correction and withdrawal of consent; complaints to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or, in Québec, the Commission d’accès à l’information.
- Brazil (LGPD): confirmation of processing, access, correction, anonymisation, blocking or deletion, portability, information about sharing and revocation of consent; complaints to the ANPD.
- Japan (APPI): disclosure, correction, suspension of use or deletion; complaints to the Personal Information Protection Commission.
- South Korea (PIPA): access, correction, deletion, suspension of processing and withdrawal of consent; complaints to the Personal Information Protection Commission or the KISA privacy centre. The person responsible for personal information is the developer, reachable at [email protected].
- Australia and New Zealand (Privacy Act 1988, Privacy Act 2020): access and correction; complaints to the OAIC or the New Zealand Privacy Commissioner.
- Other countries (for example India’s DPDP Act, Singapore’s PDPA, South Africa’s POPIA or Türkiye’s KVKK): the rights your local law gives you. Write to us and we will respond in line with it.
How we respond. We answer within one month, or sooner or later where your local law sets another period (for example 45 days under the CCPA), and we may extend it where the law allows. We may ask for information to confirm that a request comes from you. Requests are free unless they are manifestly unfounded or excessive. If we cannot do what you ask, we explain why and how you can appeal or complain.
16International users
Veygate is available in many countries. The developer does not receive the data you keep in the app, so we do not transfer it anywhere.
If you e-mail us, your message is processed by our e-mail provider and may be stored on servers outside your country. Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies to such a transfer, it relies on an adequacy decision, on standard contractual clauses offered by the provider, or on the transfer being necessary to answer your request.
This policy is written in English. If a translation is offered, the English version prevails unless your local law requires otherwise.
17Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when we change the app (including any change described in §13), when the services the app uses change, or when the law changes. The effective date and version at the top of this page show which version applies, and the version history (§18) summarises every change.
For a material change, for example new data leaving your device, ads or purchases, we update this page and the Google Play Data safety section before the app version with that change is published, describe it in the release notes, and ask for your consent in the app where the law requires it. Changes do not apply retroactively to data processed before them. Earlier versions are available on request from [email protected].
