Summary
Jigsaw Stroll does not require an account, does not contain purchases, does not have leaderboards, and does not use any developer-operated account servers. Your progress, settings, prop inventory (hints and magic), and ad-reward receipts are stored only on your device. The game may schedule local reminder notifications, such as a nudge about the daily challenge. Ads are served by Google AdMob, and Google's consent tools decide when an ad may be requested. Jigsaw Stroll currently includes no analytics or attribution SDK -- its only third-party components are Google's advertising and consent tools, described below.
Information stored on your device
The app stores your level and journey progress, unfinished boards, the daily challenge calendar, your hint and magic inventory, ad-reward receipts, and preferences in Android app storage. This information is used only to restore your game experience on your device and is not sent to NEXTB LTD.
Notifications
Jigsaw Stroll may schedule local reminder notifications on your device, such as a nudge about the daily challenge or an invitation to come back and continue your journey. These are scheduled entirely on your device; no reminder content is sent from or through a NEXTB LTD server. On Android 13 and later, the system asks for notification permission before the first reminder is scheduled. You can decline, or turn notifications off later in Android Settings, without losing any progress, props, or other game data.
Advertising
Jigsaw Stroll shows advertising served by Google AdMob. A small, clearly labelled banner appears on the home and gameplay screens once you have completed 3 main levels. An interstitial ad may appear after you finish or quit a level once you have completed enough main levels -- 9 in most configurations, 11 in some -- and never more than once per minute. No ad, of any kind, is ever shown over a board you are actively working on.
Rewarded ads are entirely optional. They only play when you tap a clearly labelled "watch an ad" button, offered to refill hints or magic, unlock a daily challenge early, or claim a completion bonus. If no rewarded ad is available at that moment, the game may instead offer a rewarded interstitial ad -- with an explanation of what it offers and a Skip button -- so you are never forced to watch one.
To deliver and measure these ads, Google may process your advertising identifier, your IP address and the approximate location derived from it, device and app information, and ad interaction data. Google's handling of this information is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Your advertising choices
Where required -- in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland -- Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) shows a consent form before any ad is requested, and ads are only requested once UMP indicates that is allowed. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time from Ad privacy options in the game's Settings, which reopens the consent form.
Network access
The app requests network access -- the Android INTERNET and network state permissions -- to request ads, run the consent flow described above, and communicate with Google's advertising services. The core game, including the board, the swap mechanic, the garden journey album, and the daily challenge calendar, works fully offline.
When this feature is enabled, Jigsaw Stroll may also download additional puzzle pictures for later levels from servers operated for the game on Cloudflare's infrastructure. These requests carry only the information needed to serve the correct set of pictures, such as the app version and the levels you have reached, and are not linked to an account, since the game has none.
Android system backup
Android may include local Jigsaw Stroll data in a backup associated with your Google account and may restore it after reinstalling the app or moving to another Android device. This is an Android system service, not a Jigsaw Stroll cloud service. NEXTB LTD cannot access the contents of that backup.
Data collection and sharing
Jigsaw Stroll does not transmit personal information or game data to any server operated by NEXTB LTD, and NEXTB LTD does not sell or share personal information. The app contains no payment SDKs, no social login or sharing SDKs, and no analytics or attribution SDK. Its only third-party components are the Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads SDK and Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP), described above.
Retention and deletion
Local data remains on your device until you clear Jigsaw Stroll storage or uninstall the app; uninstalling clears everything. Android system backups are managed through your Android and Google account backup settings, and NEXTB LTD cannot access or delete the contents of that backup on your behalf.
Children
Jigsaw Stroll is not directed to children under 13; the target audience is 13 and over. NEXTB LTD does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If the app later adds features that change how information is handled, this policy and the Google Play Data safety declaration will be updated before those features are released. The effective date at the top of this page will also change.
