Privacy Policy — Sort Safari: Animal Sort

Effective date: 2026-07-09

App: Sort Safari: Animal Sort (com.androidfactory09.sortsafari)

Developer: androidfactory09

Applies to: the ad-free versions of the app (every version released to

date).

The short version

**Sort Safari does not collect, store off your device, transmit, sell, or share any

personal information — none.** The game runs fully offline. There are no ads, no

analytics, no accounts, no trackers, and no third-party data services in this

version.

What data the app handles

The only data Sort Safari creates stays on your device:

• Game progress & settings — your levels, coins/gems earned in-game, unlocked

cosmetics, daily streak, and your sound/music/motion preferences. These are saved

locally on your device (standard app storage) so your progress isn't lost between

sessions.

• Optional custom background photo — if you choose a photo from your device to

use as an in-game background, it is used only to draw that background and is

stored locally. It is never uploaded or shared. You can remove it at any time.

The app itself never sends any of this anywhere. The released app does not

request the Internet permission, so it has no ability to transmit your data at

all.

One thing Android itself does, which we should be straight about. Android's

own *Auto Backup* feature is switched on for this app, as it is for most apps by

default. That means Android — not us — may copy your saved game to **your own

Google Drive backup**, so that your safari comes back if you reinstall the game

or move to a new phone. We think that is the right default: losing a collection

you spent months on because you changed phone would be the worst thing this app

could do to you.

To be precise about it: that copy is made by the operating system, into your own

Google account, and we never see it and cannot access it. If you would rather

it did not happen, you can turn backup off for this app in Android's own Settings

→ Google → Backup, and everything will simply stay on the device.

Data we collect: none

We do not collect analytics, crash logs, advertising identifiers, location, contacts,

or any personal or device information. Because nothing is collected, there is nothing

for us to sell or share.

Children's privacy

Sort Safari is not directed to children under 13 — its Google Play target

audience is 13 and over. It contains no ads, no purchases, and no data

collection, so no personal information is collected from anyone, of any age.

We do not knowingly collect anything from a child, because we do not collect

anything at all.

Permissions

• Photos/Media (optional): only used if *you* pick a photo for a custom in-game

background. Declining this has no effect on gameplay.

• Notifications (optional): used only if you turn on the optional daily reminder

(see below). Declining, or leaving it off, has no effect on gameplay.

Optional reminders (notifications)

Sort Safari can send an optional gentle daily reminder that a new puzzle is ready.

This reminder feature is available in this release, but it is strictly opt-in:

Sort Safari asks you inside the app (never on first launch), and **no reminder is ever

sent unless you say yes**. If you never opt in, nothing is scheduled and no

notification permission is used. At most one reminder is sent per day.

• Yours alone, and never sold. If you turn reminders on, Sort Safari notices *when*

you usually play — from the times you open the game, stored **locally on your

device** — so the reminder lands near your own play time. These play times are

never uploaded, shared, or sold. The app never transmits them; the only way

they leave your phone is Android's own Auto Backup, described above under

*What data the app handles*, which copies them to your own Google Drive with the rest of your

save. They are not used for advertising or profiling.

• Gentle by design. At most one reminder per day, delivered only between

9am and 9pm local time, and only when there's genuinely something new

waiting. There are no streak-loss warnings, no fake urgency, and no pressure

of any kind.

• You're always in control. You choose whether to enable reminders (Sort Safari

asks inside the app, never on first launch), and you can turn them off anytime —

from the in-app toggle in Settings or from your phone's system notification

settings.

Enabling reminders does not grant Sort Safari internet access, and it does not

change the fact that no data is collected — nothing about your reminders or play

times is transmitted off your device.

Changes to this policy

If a future version of the app adds features that collect data (for example, optional

ads or purchases), we will update this policy and the Google Play Data Safety section

before that version is released — not after it, so there is never a gap between

the app changing and this page changing.
