Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2, 2026

1. Who we are

Match 3 Daily is a web-based puzzle game. For support or privacy questions, contact: thesoundingwave@gmail.com.

2. What we collect

We collect limited data to operate the game and show aggregated global stats:

• Gameplay stats: puzzle date, win/loss, moves taken, tiles left, and attempt number.
• Account identifiers: we use Firebase Authentication to create an account identifier (a Firebase user ID) so we can associate your game progress and submissions over time. If you play as a guest, this identifier is created using Firebase anonymous authentication.
• Google sign-in info (if you choose to sign in): if you sign in with Google, we may receive and store basic account information such as your email address and basic profile info (for example name and profile photo), as provided by Google and Firebase Authentication.
• Basic technical data: like most websites, our hosting providers and Google services may process IP address and device/browser information in logs for security and diagnostics.

3. How we use data

• To validate and record completed runs.
• To compute and display aggregated daily statistics (completion rate, distribution, total attempts).
• To protect the service from abuse and keep it reliable.

4. Advertising and analytics

If ads are enabled, we use Google AdSense to serve advertisements. Google may use cookies or similar identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. You can manage ad personalization in Google Ad Settings, and learn more about how Google uses cookies in Google’s cookies documentation.

We may also use Google Analytics to understand overall usage.

5. Your choices

• Browser controls: you can clear cookies and site storage at any time in your browser settings.
• Delete your data: you can request deletion of your game data by using the 'Reset Progress' button in account settings, or contacting us at the email above. Please include your User ID from the in-game account settings if possible.
• Ad personalization: you can manage or limit ad personalization via Google Ad Settings.
• Opt-out tools: you can also use industry opt-out options such as AboutAds (DAA WebChoices).

6. Consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland)

For users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, we use Google’s AdSense “European regulations message” where required to gather consent for ad personalization and related storage. You can learn more in Google’s documentation: About European regulations messages.
