Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Dailies is published by Tiny Orbit Labs, an independent app studio based in India, which is responsible for your personal data as described here (the “data fiduciary” or “controller”). You can reach us at support@dailiesgame.com.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us

• Account details: your email address, the display name, username and avatar you choose, and — if you sign up with email — your password, which we store only as a one-way hash (we never see or store it in plain text).
• Sign-in with Google or Apple: if you choose it, we receive your name, email address and an account identifier from that provider, to create and sign in to your account. See Google user data below.
• Messages to us: anything you send when you contact support.

Information created when you play

• Game activity: the puzzles you play and finish, your solve times, stars, hints used, levels cleared, streaks, badges and leaderboard positions, and your in-progress boards so you can resume them.
• Settings: whether daily reminders are on and the time you chose for them.

Information from your device

• Notifications: if you allow notifications, the app schedules your daily reminder on your phone, from your progress. Nothing extra is sent to us for it.
• Technical data: like any online service, our servers receive your IP address and basic request information (such as the time of a request) when the app talks to them. We use it to run and secure the service.
• Advertising data: the ads in the app are provided by Google AdMob, which collects device and advertising information — see Advertising.

We do not collect your precise location, contacts, photos, microphone or camera data, and we don’t ask for your phone number.

3. Google user data

If you sign in with Google, Dailies requests only your basic profile — your name, email address and Google account ID (the “openid”, “email” and “profile” scopes). We use this information solely to create your Dailies account, sign you in, recognise you on another device, and contact you about your account (for example, a password-reset email). We do not request access to your Gmail, Drive, contacts, calendar or any other Google data.

We do not sell Google user data, use it for advertising, or share it with anyone except the service providers that host our servers, and we do not use it to train artificial-intelligence models. Dailies’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. You can remove Dailies’s access at any time from your Google Account settings.

4. How we use information

We don’t use your information for automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.

5. Advertising

Dailies is free and supported by ads served by Google AdMob. Ads are shown between puzzles, never in the middle of one. To serve and measure ads, AdMob may collect and use your device’s advertising identifier (the Android Advertising ID or Apple’s IDFA, where you allow it), IP address, device and app information, and how you interact with ads. Google’s use of this information is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.

• Your consent: where the law requires it (for example in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland), we ask for your consent before ads are personalised, and you can change your choice from the app’s settings.
• Opting out of personalised ads: on Android, go to Settings › Privacy › Ads (or Google › Ads) and delete or reset your advertising ID; on iPhone, go to Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking. You’ll still see ads, but they won’t be based on your interests.
• App Tracking Transparency: on iPhone, we only access the IDFA if you allow it when asked.

6. Who we share it with

We share information only as needed to run Dailies, with service providers that process it on our behalf under contract:

• Hosting and database providers (such as Vercel, Railway, Supabase or similar cloud providers) that run our servers and store our data.
• Google, for Sign in with Google and for AdMob ads; and Apple, for Sign in with Apple and App Store services.
• An email delivery provider, to send account emails such as password resets.

We may also disclose information if required by law or a valid legal request, to protect the rights, safety or property of our users or others, or as part of a merger or sale of the app (in which case this policy would continue to apply). We do not sell or rent your personal information.

7. What other players can see

Leaderboards and friends lists show your username, avatar, rank, solve times, whether you used hints, days solved and streaks to other players. Your display name and email address are never shown. Choose a username you’re happy to have seen publicly: it can’t be changed once chosen, and usernames that are offensive or pretend to be Dailies are refused.

8. How long we keep it

• Account and game data: for as long as your account exists.
• After you delete your account: your personal details (email, password hash, names, sign-in links, friends and devices) are erased straight away, and you’re removed from leaderboards. Your past game activity is kept only in anonymous form, not linked to you, for puzzle statistics and to prevent abuse. Backups that may contain your details are overwritten on their regular cycle.
• Password-reset links: they expire shortly after they’re sent.
• Server logs: kept for a short period for security and troubleshooting.

We may keep limited information longer where the law requires it.

9. Deleting your account

You can delete your account and its data at any time from the app (Settings › Delete account) or by emailing us. Full steps and what gets deleted are on our account deletion page.

10. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you and get a copy of it;
• correct inaccurate data (you can edit your name and avatar in the app);
• delete your data and account;
• withdraw consent you’ve given, such as for reminders or personalised ads;
• object to or restrict certain processing, and receive your data in a portable format;
• nominate another person to exercise your rights if you die or become unable to (under India’s DPDP Act);
• complain to a data protection authority, such as the Data Protection Board of India.

To use any of these rights, email support@dailiesgame.com from the address on your account. We’ll respond within 30 days and may need to confirm your identity first.

11. Children

Dailies is meant for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. Users in India under 18 should use Dailies with a parent’s or guardian’s consent. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

12. Security

We protect your information with encryption in transit (HTTPS), hashed passwords, signed sign-in tokens that we can revoke, and access limited to what’s needed to run the service. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data and will notify you and the authorities of a breach where the law requires it.

13. International transfers

Our service providers may store and process information in countries other than yours, including India, the United States, Singapore and the European Union. Where we transfer data, we rely on the safeguards those laws require.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as Dailies changes. We’ll change the “last updated” date above and, for significant changes, let you know in the app or by email before they take effect.

15. Contact and grievances

For questions, requests or complaints about your privacy or your data, contact our Grievance Officer. We’ll acknowledge your message within 72 hours and aim to resolve it within 30 days.

• Contact: the Grievance Officer, Tiny Orbit Labs
• Email: support@dailiesgame.com (subject: “Grievance”)
• Country: India

If you’re in India and not satisfied with our answer, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
