Sixer Privacy Policy

Sixer is a general-audience puzzle game published by Green Bean Studio. It does not require an account and does not ask you to provide a name, email address, contacts, photos, location, or other personal profile information.

What stays on your device

Sixer stores gameplay state locally on your device, including active puzzle progress, completed-puzzle history, streaks, achievements, preferences, and Premium entitlement state. You can remove local gameplay data by deleting the app.

On compatible devices, Sixer can optionally use Apple Foundation Models or Gemini Nano for AI Puzzle Coach. Sixer sends only a solver-certified hint, its reason, and its move instruction to the device's system model. Coach input and generated explanations are processed on the device; Sixer has no cloud model fallback and does not store a Coach transcript. Unsupported devices do not see the feature. Sixer records only coarse Coach events such as capability state, game type, completion, latency bucket, and error category. It does not record the prompt, hint text, board state, or generated explanation.

Crash reporting

Sixer uses Firebase Crashlytics to collect crash reports in release builds. Crash reports can include technical diagnostics such as stack traces, app version, device model, operating-system version, performance timing, and diagnostic information needed to investigate reliability issues. They are not intended to include puzzle contents or account information.

Analytics

Sixer uses Firebase Analytics to understand aggregate app usage and measure installs from Google Ads app campaigns. Firebase Analytics may collect app and device identifiers and technical and app-interaction data, including app version and device characteristics, general location derived from masked IP addresses, installs, first opens, sessions, screen views, and aggregate usage events. Firebase Analytics may also automatically measure in-app purchase events, including product ID, product name, and price, but not full payment-card details.

This information is sent to Google for analytics; install and first-open data are also used for app-campaign conversion measurement. Sixer has no account system and does not send account information to Firebase Analytics.

Advertising, consent, and purchases

Non-Premium users may see ads through Google AdMob and the Google Mobile Ads SDK. To serve, measure, and protect ads, Google and its partners may process device and usage information such as advertising identifiers, device characteristics, approximate location inferred by the ad SDK, ad interactions, and app activity. Sixer Premium is a one-time in-app purchase that removes ads.

Where required, Sixer uses Google's User Messaging Platform to show a Google-certified consent message before requesting ads and records your choice. If you decline, or consent is unavailable, ads are limited to non-personalized ads. On iOS, Sixer also respects App Tracking Transparency; if tracking is not allowed, the advertising identifier is not used to personalize ads. You can change these choices later in your device settings.

Purchases are processed by Google Play or the Apple App Store. Sixer receives purchase status needed to unlock Premium, but it does not receive your full payment-card details. The app-ads.txt file is available at greenbean.studio/app-ads.txt.

Children's privacy

Sixer is not directed to children under 13 or the equivalent minimum age in your country, and Green Bean Studio does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Ad requests are tagged as not child-directed and limited to family-friendly, PG-rated ad content. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us below and we will address it.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your information, to object to processing, and to withdraw ad consent. California residents may have the right to know what personal information is collected and to opt out of its “sale” or “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising. Because Sixer has no account system, most gameplay data is stored only on your device and is removed when you uninstall the app. Buying Premium removes ads entirely.

Contact

If you contact support, Green Bean Studio receives the information you choose to include so we can respond. For questions about privacy, analytics, crash reports, purchase state, or support, email support@greenbean.studio.
