Privacy Policy

Abbari Studio ("we", "us", "our") operates the website abbaristudio.com and our mobile games — Bricko (live on the App Store) and Linko(live on the App Store, Google Play coming soon) — together, the "Services". This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when using our Services. The same principles apply to every Abbari title, present and future.

We design our products to collect as little personal data as possible. We do not sell your data. We do not track you across other apps or websites. We show a small amount of advertising in Bricko (see §1.3) — never during gameplay, and always with the lightest possible footprint.

1. Information we collect

1.1 Information you provide directly

• Support requests. When you email us at info@abbaristudio.com, we receive your email address and the contents of your message.
• Photos you import into Bricko. Photos you choose to turn into brick art stay on your device. They are processed locally and are never uploaded to our servers.

1.2 Information collected automatically

• Anonymous usage analytics (website only). We use a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics tool (Plausible) to count page views and understand which content is useful. No IP addresses or personal identifiers are stored.
• Crash reports (games). If the game crashes, we may receive a diagnostic report containing device model, OS version and the stack trace of the error. These reports are anonymous.

1.3 Advertising in Bricko

Bricko uses Google AdMob to serve a small number of ads. They appear roughly once every ten puzzles you complete— never during gameplay, never in the menus. You can also tap "Watch ad" to earn extra in-game coins, which is entirely optional. AdMob may use a non-personal device identifier to serve and measure ads; if you have declined App Tracking Transparency on iOS (or are in a region with comparable rules), AdMob will only show non-personalised ads.

1.4 Information we do NOT collect

• We do not collect your contacts, calendar or location.
• We do not track you across other apps or websites.
• We do not sell, rent or trade your data.

2. How we use information

• To operate, maintain and improve our Services.
• To respond to support requests and feedback.
• To diagnose crashes and fix bugs.
• To comply with legal obligations.

3. Permissions used by our games

3.1 Bricko

• Photo library.Only when you tap "Import photo". We use the system picker so we never read your library without your explicit selection.
• Camera.Only when you tap "Take a photo". The image stays on your device.
• Save to Photos.Only when you tap "Export" to save your completed brick art.

3.2 Linko

Linko is a path-puzzle game with no photo, camera, contacts, or location access. Your level progress, stars, streaks and settings are stored locally on your device. The same minimal-advertising, no-tracking rules described in §1.3 above apply to Linko (which is live on the App Store and arriving on Google Play soon).

4. Children's privacy

Our games are designed to be safe for everyone, including children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

5. Your rights (GDPR / CCPA)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or California, you have the right to access, correct or delete the personal data we hold about you, and to object to processing. Because we collect almost no personal data, in most cases there is nothing to export. To exercise these rights, email us at info@abbaristudio.com.

6. Data retention

Support emails are retained for up to 24 months and then deleted. Crash reports are retained for up to 90 days.

7. Security

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect the limited data we process. No system is perfectly secure, but we take it seriously.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
