COLOR GROVECOLOR GROVE · LAST UPDATED 31 OCTOBER 2026
Privacy policy
Color Grove: Water Sort Puzzle is provided by bendroid.app for adults aged 18 and older. This policy covers the Android and iOS game and this landing page.
Playing without an account
All puzzle content is bundled with the app and works offline. Puzzle progress, stars, hints and settings are stored locally. We do not upload your move history. Your operating system may include local app data in its backup services according to your settings.
Optional accounts and the community chart
Android offers Google sign-in. iOS offers Apple and Google sign-in. Firebase Authentication processes the provider account identifier, authentication credentials and the account information returned by your chosen provider, which may include an email address and profile information. We do not receive your provider password.
A separate store-review sign-in uses a dedicated email/password account in Firebase Authentication. Email/password access requires a verified email. Only the specifically authorized review test account is manually verified by the administrator; it uses a separate review chart and cannot read live player scores. This is not a public email/password registration service.
If you choose to share a score, Cloud Firestore stores your Firebase user identifier, generated grower alias, journey stars, completed-level count and update timestamp. The chart shows the alias and score rather than your name or email. Signed-in players can read community score records, including their pseudonymous record identifiers. These are community scores, not verified competition results. We do not provide chat, contact uploads or public profile photos.
The Firestore database is located in the United States (nam5). Other Google, Apple and advertising service processing may occur in other countries according to those services’ policies. Account and shared score records remain until you delete them or request deletion. Only sign in and share if you want this cloud feature.
Advertising and consent
Google AdMob provides banner and optional rewarded ads. Google and its advertising partners may process IP addresses, approximate location inferred from IP, device and advertising identifiers when permitted, ad interactions, diagnostics and fraud-prevention information. Color Grove requests non-personalized ads and disables publisher first-party identifiers on iOS. Android advertising follows the applicable consent choices. Non-personalized advertising can still process data for delivery, measurement and fraud prevention; it is not anonymous.
Where required, Google’s User Messaging Platform presents consent choices. Privacy choices are available in Settings when required by the platform. You can manage device advertising permissions in system settings. Declining a permission or an unavailable ad does not lock puzzle content. A rewarded ad gives hints only when its reward event completes. Color Grove does not request precise location, contacts, camera or microphone access.
iOS purchases
Apple handles optional Color Grove Plus payments. The app verifies StoreKit purchase entitlements to remove all ads and enable unlimited hints. We do not receive card details. Purchases can be restored with the same Apple Account. Deleting a leaderboard account does not refund or erase an App Store purchase. Android has no in-app sales.
Website
This static landing page does not add analytics, advertising scripts or an account system. Firebase Hosting may process request logs, including IP address and browser information, to deliver and secure the site. The puzzle demonstration runs in your browser without uploading moves. Contacting support shares the information you choose to include in your email.
Your choices and deletion
In the app, open Community garden, then Delete leaderboard account. You may need to authenticate again. This removes your shared score and Firebase account; Apple sign-in deletion also revokes its authorization. Local progress remains unless you clear app data or uninstall the app, subject to device backups. You can also request account deletion, score deletion or a data sweep by emailing mamunandroid48@gmail.com. Include “Color Grove data deletion” and the account reference shown in the app, or the sign-in email. We may ask you to verify ownership. Never send a password, verification code or payment details.
Service providers may retain limited security, transaction, backup or legally required records under their own retention policies. We do not promise deletion of records outside our control. Contact us to ask what was removed or request access or correction.
