This Privacy Policy describes how Livesudoku.com ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website and mobile applications. By using Livesudoku.com, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Data controller. The data controller responsible for your personal information is Yotamix LTD, Oren 12, Ramat Hasharon, Israel. For any privacy-related question or request, you can reach us at [email protected] or through our contact form.

We collect the following types of information:

• Usage data: Pages visited, puzzles played, difficulty levels selected, browser type, operating system, IP address, and approximate location (country/region).
• Device identifiers: When using our mobile applications, we may collect advertising identifiers such as the Google Advertising ID (GAID) on Android or the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) on iOS, used for serving and measuring advertisements.
• Account data: If you register, we collect your username and email address. If you register via Facebook Login, we collect your name and email to create your account.
• Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies and web beacons to remember your preferences, analyze site usage, and serve relevant advertisements. See Section 3 for details.

Livesudoku.com displays advertisements served by third-party advertising networks. These partners may collect and use data about your visits to this and other websites to show you relevant ads. We currently work with:

• Google AdSense / Google AdMob - Google may use cookies, advertising identifiers, and similar technologies to serve personalized or non-personalized ads based on your prior visits to our site or other sites. Google's use of advertising data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy: policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info/choices.
• Other ad technology providers that are part of the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) may also serve ads or measure ad performance. A full list of ad technology providers is available through our consent management platform.

These third-party companies may place and read cookies or use web beacons to collect anonymous or pseudonymous statistics about advertisements. We do not control the cookies or data collection practices of these third parties.

We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: Required for the site to function (e.g., session management, user preferences).
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
• Advertising cookies: Used by our advertising partners (including Google) to serve relevant ads and measure ad effectiveness.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling advertising cookies will not remove ads - you will see non-personalized ads instead.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

• Consent: For personalized advertising and non-essential cookies, we rely on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time via our consent management tool ("Privacy and cookie settings" link in the footer).
• Legitimate interests: For analytics, security, and fraud prevention, where our interests do not override your rights.
• Legal obligation: Where required by applicable law.

• To operate and improve Livesudoku.com and our mobile applications.
• To display advertisements (personalized or non-personalized, depending on your consent).
• To communicate with you about your account (confirmation emails, password resets).
• To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents.
• To comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information for money. We do share device identifiers and usage data with advertising partners (such as Google) for personalized advertising, which the California Consumer Privacy Act treats as "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can opt out of such sharing at any time through our consent management tool ("Privacy and cookie settings" link in the footer) or via Google Ads Settings. We do not use your data for purposes beyond those described in this policy without your consent.

We share data only as follows:

• Advertising partners: As described in Section 2, advertising identifiers and usage data may be shared with ad technology providers for serving and measuring ads.
• Service providers: Trusted vendors who help us operate the site (hosting, analytics) under data processing agreements.
• Legal requirements: If required by law or to protect the rights and safety of users or the public.

Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the EEA, including the United States, where Google and other partners operate. Such transfers are conducted under appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

We retain account data for as long as your account is active. Anonymous usage data is retained for up to 24 months. You may request deletion of your data at any time (see Section 9).

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Deletion: Request deletion of your data. You can delete your account via your user management page, which permanently removes all your private data from our databases.
• Restriction: Request that we limit how we process your data.
• Portability: Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Withdraw consent: Withdraw consent for personalized advertising at any time via our consent management tool or via Google Ads Settings.

To exercise any of these rights, please email us at [email protected] or use our contact form. EEA, UK, and Swiss users may also lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority.

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA"). The categories of personal information we collect, the purposes for which we collect them, and the parties with whom we share them are described in Sections 1, 2, 5, and 6 above.

• Right to know: You may request that we disclose the specific personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months and the categories of sources, purposes, and recipients.
• Right to delete: You may request deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain legal exceptions.
• Right to correct: You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
• Right to opt out of sale or sharing: We do not sell personal information for money. We do "share" device identifiers and usage data with advertising partners for personalized advertising as defined by the CCPA. You can opt out at any time using our consent management tool ("Privacy and cookie settings" link in the footer) or via Google Ads Settings.
• Right to limit use of sensitive personal information: We do not collect or use sensitive personal information as defined by the CCPA in a manner that triggers this right.
• Right to non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.

To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] or use our contact form. We will verify your identity by matching the information you provide against the information we hold (such as your account email). You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, in which case we will require proof of authorization.

Livesudoku.com is a general-audience website and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the age of digital consent in their country (generally 13 in the United States and 16 in much of the European Union) without verifiable parental consent. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top. Material changes will be notified by a prominent notice on the website. Your continued use of Livesudoku.com after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have any questions, requests, or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, please email [email protected] or use our contact form. You can also write to us at:
