Privacy Policy for Dugtong
Last Updated: September 14, 2026
John Mark Delima ("we," "us," or "our") built the Dugtong app as a Free app. This SERVICE is provided by John Mark Delima at no cost and is intended for use as is. This page is used to inform visitors regarding our policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information if anyone decided to use our Service.
1. Information Collection and Use
Dugtong is designed to respect your privacy. We do not require you to create an account, log in, or provide any personally identifiable information (such as your name, email address, or phone number) to play the game. Local Game Data: To provide a seamless gaming experience, Dugtong saves your game progress, current streak, completed puzzles, and sound preferences. All of this data is stored locally on your device. We do not transmit, sync, or store your personal game progress on our servers. If you uninstall the app, your game progress will be permanently reset. Third-Party Analytics: We want to improve our Service and understand how players interact with Dugtong. To do this, we use Google Analytics. This third-party service may collect anonymous data, including your device's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the app when utilizing our Service, the time and date of your use of the Service, and other statistics.
2. Financial Information and Donations
Dugtong may feature options to support the developer (such as a donation QR code). Scanning these codes or clicking these links will direct you to third-party payment applications. We do not process transactions within the app, nor do we collect, view, or store any of your financial or payment information.
3. Advertising
To help keep Dugtong free, we use Google AdSense (on the web) and Google AdMob (on the mobile app) to display advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies and device identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to our app or other websites. Google AdMob may collect and use data such as your device's Advertising ID, approximate location, and usage data to provide non-personalized advertisements, count ad impressions, and prevent fraud. For more information on how Google uses this data, please review Google's Privacy & Terms. We do not share your local game data with these advertisers. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.
4. Links to Other Sites
This Service may contain links to other sites. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by us. Therefore, we strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of these websites. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
5. Children's Privacy
These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. In the case we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we immediately delete this from our servers.
