Logic & Loops

The short version

Logic & Loops makes no network requests at all. It has no account, no ads, no analytics, no crash reporting and no third-party SDKs of any kind. Everything it records — which puzzles you have solved, how you solved them, and your settings — is written to your own device and never leaves it unless you deliberately export it yourself. SnackPack Studios does not receive your learning data, and has no server that stores it.

Who this policy applies to

This policy applies to SnackPack: Logic & Loops on Android (com.snackpackuniverse.logicandloops). If you use this app, this page describes how information related to your use of it is handled.

Information the app stores on your device

• Coding progress: which puzzles and concept lessons you have completed, and a per-puzzle record of how each was solved — for example whether it was a clean solve — so the app can show mastery and suggest what to try next.
• Activity dates: a capped list of the recent calendar days on which you were active, stored as plain local dates, used only to display a streak.
• Preferences: colour scheme, whether sound is muted, whether hints are hidden in challenge mode, and a chosen cosmetic robot glow.
• A local profile identifier: a random string the app generates on your device, of the form rr- followed by a timestamp and random characters. It is used to label your own backup file so a restore can recognise it. It is not an advertising identifier, not a device identifier, not derived from your hardware, and it identifies nothing about you as a person.
• An unlock flag: a single true/false value recording whether extra puzzle content has been unlocked, held in the platform's secure storage.

All of the above lives in your device's own app storage. None of it is transmitted anywhere.

Information the app does not collect

• No network access: the app contains no code that makes network requests. It does not call home, sync, or check in. There is no server for it to talk to.
• No account and no sign-in: there is nothing to register for, and no email address, username or password is ever requested.
• No analytics or crash-reporting SDKs: none are present in the app at all. When an unexpected error occurs, the app shows a recovery screen and writes the detail to the local development console only; nothing is sent anywhere.
• No advertising: there are no ads and no ad SDKs. The Android advertising ID permission is explicitly blocked in the app's manifest, so the advertising identifier cannot be read even in principle.
• No location, camera, microphone or contacts: the app requests none of these. Audio recording, background-service and screen-overlay permissions are explicitly blocked in the manifest.
• No personal details: the app never asks for a name, age, birth year, date of birth, school, photograph or any other personal information about the person using it.

Backing up and transferring your progress

The app can package your progress into a backup you control, so you can move it to a new device or keep it before reinstalling. This is the only way information leaves the app, and it only ever happens because you chose to do it.

• What a backup contains: your local profile identifier, the date it was exported, the puzzles and lessons you have completed, your per-puzzle solve records, and your activity dates. It contains no name and no personal information. A shorter "lite" backup, small enough to fit in a QR code, omits the solve records and activity dates.
• How it leaves the app: as a block of text you can pass to your device's share sheet or copy, or as a QR code the app displays on screen. Where it goes next is entirely your choice and is governed by whichever app or service you send it to.
• The QR code is displayed, not scanned: the app draws the code for your other device's own camera app to read. Logic & Loops itself requests no camera permission and cannot see your camera. Restoring on the other device is done by pasting the code in.
• Nothing is uploaded: there is no SnackPack cloud, no backup server and no account to sync with. SnackPack Studios never receives a copy.

Progress reports and the classroom view

The app can produce a plain-text progress summary suitable for sharing with a parent, carer or teacher. It is generated on your device from progress already stored there and handed to the system share sheet, which you control.

There is also a read-only classroom view intended for a teacher using a single shared device. An adult can paste in pupils' backup codes to compare progress side by side, and may type a short label for each one — a first name, for example — so the rows can be told apart. This is the only place the app accepts text that could identify a child, and it is handled deliberately narrowly:

• Labels and pasted codes exist only in that screen's memory while it is open.
• Leaving the screen discards the whole list. Nothing is written to app storage, secure storage, or anywhere else, and there is no saved class roster.
• A label appears outside that screen only if the adult chooses to share the class summary through the system share sheet, at which point it is governed by wherever they send it.

Because this feature can involve a child's name, it is meant for use by a teacher or other responsible adult, and any label typed there should be kept as brief as possible — an initial or a first name is enough.

Read-aloud, sound and haptics

Puzzle and lesson text can be read aloud using the text-to-speech voice built into your own device; the text is passed to that system component and is not sent to SnackPack Studios. Sound effects are bundled with the app and played locally, and can be muted in Settings. The app may use short haptic taps for feedback. The app also reads your device's language setting so it can choose which language to display; that reading happens on the device and is not transmitted.

Links that leave the app

Settings contains links to the SnackPack Studios website, this privacy policy and the terms page, and offers a support email address. Choosing one hands the address to your device's browser or mail app. Once a link opens, the destination is governed by its own terms and privacy practices, and by your browser rather than by this app.

The website link and the support email sit behind the parental gate described below. The privacy policy and terms links deliberately do not: they are the documents you are reading now, and they stay directly reachable.

Parental gate

Anything that takes a child out of the learning experience is placed behind a “grown-ups only” challenge: opening the website, contacting support, sharing a progress backup, a progress report or the profile identifier, restoring a purchase, and entering the parent dashboard or the classroom view. The two dashboards are gated at the door rather than control by control, so one challenge covers everything inside — including the class summary, which is the only thing in the app that can carry a typed name.

The challenge shows a four-digit number written out in words and asks for it to be typed on a keypad. It is a reading task rather than a maths or logic one, chosen deliberately: this app teaches step-by-step problem solving to learners up to about 15, so a puzzle built from arithmetic or reasoning would be one the app itself trains children to pass. The gate is not remembered — it re-challenges on every protected action, and there is no way to switch it off. It collects nothing and sends nothing anywhere.

The privacy policy and the terms of use are reachable without the gate, including from the purchase screen, so the information on this page is never behind a challenge.

In-app purchases

Logic & Loops does not currently sell anything. The app contains screens describing an optional Pro unlock for additional puzzle content, but no billing library is integrated and no payment can be taken or restored in this version. No payment details, purchase history or billing identifiers are handled, because no purchase can occur. If in-app purchases are added in a future release, this policy will be updated to describe the purchase handling before that version is published.

How information is used

• To run the app: saving your progress, settings and unlock state between sessions.
• To teach: using your solve records to show mastery, suggest what to practise, and display a streak.
• To let you move your progress: producing a backup you choose to export, and reading one you choose to import.
• To answer you: if you email support, we use your message and address to reply.

Information is never used for advertising, profiling, or any form of tracking, and is never sold.

Children's privacy

Logic & Loops is designed for learners aged roughly 9 to 15, which includes children under 13, and is built to align with Google Play's Families policy. It requires no account, shows no ads, does not read the advertising identifier, contains no analytics or tracking SDKs, and makes no network requests. Learning data stays on the device. SnackPack Studios does not knowingly collect personal information from children. The classroom view described above is the only feature that accepts a typed name; it sits behind the parental gate, is intended for a supervising adult, and nothing typed there is ever stored or transmitted by the app. If you believe a child has sent us personal information through a support email, contact us and we will delete it.

Sharing and disclosure

There is no third party to share your information with. The app has no analytics provider, no advertising partner, no backend and no payment processor. Google Play processes the app's distribution and may collect its own information as the store operator, governed by Google's privacy policy rather than this one. Anything you export yourself is disclosed only to whoever you send it to.

Retention and security

Because your information stays on your device, it is retained for exactly as long as you keep the app installed and is protected by your device's own security — its lock screen, user accounts and app sandboxing. The unlock flag is held in the platform's secure storage, and that store is excluded from Android's automatic cloud backup. Support emails are retained only as long as needed to handle the request and for ordinary business records.

Your choices

• Reset or remove your data: clear the app's storage in your device settings, or uninstall the app. Either removes the locally stored progress, preferences and profile identifier.
• Keep your progress first: export a backup before resetting or reinstalling if you want to restore it afterwards.
• Turn off sound: mute audio in Settings at any time.
• Decline to export: backups, progress reports and class summaries are produced only when you ask for them.

Requesting data deletion

Logic & Loops stores everything locally and sends nothing to SnackPack Studios, so there is no server-side record of your use of the app to delete. Clearing the app's storage or uninstalling the app removes your information from your device, and no copy exists anywhere else. There is no purchase record, because the app cannot take payment.

The only information that can exist off your device is a support email you chose to send us. To have that deleted, email privacy@snackpackuniverse.com from the address you contacted us with and ask us to remove it. Verified requests are normally completed within 30 days.

Platform-specific privacy requirements

On Google Play, the app's Data Safety declaration reports that no user data is collected or shared, which reflects the app's behaviour as described above. Google Play itself collects information as the distributor under its own policy. Should the app ever add a feature that transmits data, both this policy and the store declaration will be updated before that version is published.

Changes to this policy

If the app changes in a way that affects this policy — most plausibly the addition of in-app purchases — this page will be updated and its effective date changed before the new version is released. Material changes will be described here rather than made silently.
