Privacy Policy for Bud Crush
Effective date: June 12, 2026
Last updated: June 12, 2026
Bud Crush (“the Game,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a mobile match-3 puzzle game published by Edukas Solutions LLC. This Privacy Policy explains what information the Game does and does not handle, and your choices. We’ve kept it short because the Game itself collects very little.
1. The short version
- Bud Crush has no accounts and no login. You do not give us your name, email, or password.
- Your game progress and settings are stored only on your device.
- We do not operate a server that receives your personal information.
- Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We never see or store your payment-card details.
- The Game does not currently show ads. If we add optional rewarded video ads in the future, this policy will be updated before that feature goes live, and ads will be opt-in (see Section 6).
- Bud Crush is not directed to children and is intended for adults.
2. Who we are
Bud Crush is developed and operated by Edukas Solutions LLC, the legal entity responsible for the Game. For privacy questions, contact us at the address in Section 10.
3. Information stored on your device
The Game saves the following on your device only (it is not transmitted to us):
- Game progress (levels cleared, scores, your in-game collection).
- In-game virtual currency balances (BudCoins, Terp Gems) and booster inventory. These have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for money.
- Settings such as music, sound, and haptics preferences.
- Anonymous gameplay diagnostics (for example, which level was attempted and whether it was won or lost) used to help us balance difficulty. These records contain no information that identifies you and stay on your device.
If you delete the Game, this on-device data is removed with it.
4. Purchases
Bud Crush offers optional in-app purchases of virtual currency and bundles (for example, Terp Gems and the Starter Pack). When you make a purchase:
- The transaction is processed by Apple through the App Store using your existing Apple Account. We do not receive or store your credit-card number, billing address, or Apple Account credentials.
- The Game receives a purchase confirmation (an App Store receipt) so it can deliver the item you bought. This confirmation is checked on your device.
- Apple’s handling of your purchase is governed by Apple’s Privacy Policy (apple.com/legal/privacy), not this one.
Virtual items are licensed to you for use within the Game, are non-refundable except as required by law or Apple’s policies, and have no monetary value.
5. Information collected automatically by the app stores and platform tools
To distribute and run the Game, Apple and certain platform tools may process limited technical data:
- Applecollects purchase and basic device/diagnostic information as part of operating the App Store. See Apple’s Privacy Policy.
- The Game uses Unitytechnology (including Unity’s in-app purchasing tools). Unity’s tools may process limited technical identifiers needed to deliver purchases and basic crash/diagnostic information. Unity states that its in-app purchasing component does not collect personal data about app users. Unity’s data practices are described at unity.com/legal/privacy-policy.
We do not combine any of this with information that identifies you, and we do not use it to track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
6. Advertising (not active today — planned)
The Game does not currently display advertising. We are evaluating adding optional, opt-in rewarded video ads (for example, watch a short video to earn extra moves). Before any ads feature is released, we will update this Privacy Policy. When rewarded ads launch:
- Ads will be provided through a third-party advertising partner (currently planned: Unity LevelPlay / Unity Ads).
- The ad partner may collect device identifiers (such as Apple’s Advertising Identifier, “IDFA,” or the vendor identifier, “IDFV”), approximate technical/usage data, and ad-interaction data to deliver and measure ads.
- On iOS, we will show Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt and will only allow tracking / personalized advertising if you grant permission. If you decline, you will see non-personalized ads instead.
- Rewarded ads will always be elective — you choose to watch them in exchange for a reward. There are no forced or auto-playing ads.
- We will exclude cannabis, tobacco, alcohol, and other regulated-product ad categories from the ad partner’s settings.
7. We do not sell your personal information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. If and when rewarded ads launch and the use of advertising identifiers could be considered a “sale” or “share” under U.S. state privacy laws, we will provide a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” control and honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where applicable.
8. Children’s privacy
Bud Crush is not directed to children and is rated for adults due to its cannabis-themed fictional content. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at the address in Section 10 and we will address it.
9. Your choices and rights
Because the Game stores your data on your device and we do not maintain accounts:
- You can clear your game data at any time by deleting the Game from your device.
- On iOS, you can manage tracking permission in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking (relevant only if ads launch).
- Depending on where you live (for example, California under the CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to know about, access, or delete personal information. Because we do not maintain accounts or a personal-information database, in most cases we hold no personal information to act on; where we do, you may contact us using Section 10 and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law (generally 45 days under CCPA/CPRA).
Distribution note: Bud Crush is offered to users in the United States. It is not intended for users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or other regions with separate data-protection regimes; if we expand distribution, this policy will be updated accordingly.
