Color Carve Privacy Policy
How information is handled when you use the Color Carve Android game.
Last updated: 27 August 2026
In short: Color Carve does not require an account and Hubusoft does not operate a game-data server. Your progress and settings stay on your device. Google services used for advertising, consent and in-app purchases process certain device, usage and purchase information as explained below.
1. Who we are and scope
This Privacy Policy applies to Color Carve for Android (package name com.hubusoft.colorcarve), published by Hubusoft, Hungary.
Privacy contact: contact@hubusoft.com.
2. Information stored only on your device
Color Carve stores the following information in the app's private storage so the game can function:
- level progress, stars and best move counts;
- tutorial progress and unlocked cosmetic board frames;
- music, sound, vibration, language and appearance settings;
- an advertising frequency counter; and
- a cached flag showing whether the Remove Ads entitlement is active.
Hubusoft does not receive this local game data. It remains on your device until you clear the app's data or uninstall the app. A verified Google Play purchase may restore the Remove Ads entitlement after reinstallation.
3. Advertising and consent
The free version of Color Carve uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) to display banner and interstitial advertisements. Depending on your location, device settings, consent choices and Google's serving mode, ads may be personalized, non-personalized or limited.
| Information | IP address, approximate location inferred from the IP address, app and ad interactions, diagnostic and performance information, Android advertising ID, app set ID and other device or account identifiers where available. |
|---|---|
| Purposes | Advertising delivery and personalization where allowed, ad measurement, analytics, security, fraud prevention and service diagnostics. |
| Recipient | Google and advertising partners disclosed through Google's consent interface, where applicable. |
Where required in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) asks for privacy choices before eligible advertising is requested. The consent interface may store your choices on the device and communicate the information needed to honour them.
You can reset or delete the Android advertising ID through your Android privacy settings. Available ad and consent controls may differ by device, Google account and region.

4. Remove Ads purchase
Color Carve offers a one-time, non-consumable Remove Ads product through Google Play Billing. Google processes the payment and related account and transaction information under its own terms and privacy policy.
The app receives the product identifier, purchase status and a purchase token needed to confirm and acknowledge the entitlement. Hubusoft does not receive your full payment card or bank account details, and the current app does not send purchase tokens to a Hubusoft server. The app stores only the local entitlement flag described above.
5. Website server logs and contact messages
These legal pages contain no Hubusoft analytics, advertising tags or tracking cookies. When you open a page, the website hosting provider may process basic server logs such as IP address, time, requested URL, browser type and error information to deliver and secure the website.
If you contact Hubusoft, we process your email address, message and any information you choose to include so we can respond, provide support and keep records where reasonably necessary for follow-up, security or legal claims. We retain correspondence only for as long as needed for those purposes or as required by law.
6. Legal bases
Where the GDPR or similar law applies, processing may rely on:
- consent for personalized advertising, device storage or similar advertising purposes where consent is required;
- performance of a contract to deliver and maintain the Remove Ads purchase; and
- legitimate interests in operating, securing and diagnosing the game and legal pages, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
7. Sharing, transfers and sale of data
Hubusoft does not sell personal information. Information may be processed by Google and its disclosed advertising or service partners for the purposes described above. These providers may process information outside your country and use legally recognised safeguards where required.
8. Retention and deletion
- Local game data remains until you clear Color Carve's storage or uninstall it.
- Hubusoft does not keep a server-side copy of your game progress or settings.
- Google and website infrastructure providers retain information according to their own policies and legal obligations.
- If a purchase is refunded or revoked, the Remove Ads entitlement may be removed when the app next verifies ownership with Google Play.
9. Your privacy rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection, and to withdraw consent without affecting earlier lawful processing. You may contact us at contact@hubusoft.com.
Because Hubusoft does not maintain player accounts or a game-data server, we may not hold information that lets us identify you. For information controlled by Google, you can use your Google account and privacy controls or contact Google directly. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In Hungary, this is the Hungarian National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (NAIH).
10. Children's privacy
Color Carve does not provide user accounts and does not knowingly ask children to submit names, email addresses or other contact information. A parent or guardian who believes a child has sent personal information directly to Hubusoft may contact us and request its deletion. Distribution, target-audience and advertising settings must also be configured consistently in Google Play and AdMob.
11. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to the limited information handled by the app. Google states that information collected by the Google Mobile Ads SDK is encrypted in transit. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when Color Carve's features, service providers or legal requirements change. The current version and its update date will remain available on this page. Material changes may also be communicated in the app or store listing where appropriate.
