5. Advertising
SoundFind includes advertising to support ongoing development. Ads may be served by third-party advertising networks, including Google AdMob.
Advertising services may collect:
- A device advertising identifier (such as Google's advertising ID or Apple's IDFA)
- Coarse device information (device type, operating system version)

This data is processed by the advertising network under their own privacy policy. We do not receive or store this information directly.
You can opt out of personalised advertising through your device settings:

- iOS: Settings โ Privacy & Security โ Apple Advertising โ Personalised Ads (off)
When the game is offline or ads cannot be served, interstitial ads are skipped silently.
6. Audio Content
SoundFind's Audio Challenge mode uses pre-generated audio files (MP3s) bundled with the game. These files are generated using ElevenLabs text-to-speech technology.
Audio files are served locally from the app's cache โ no live text-to-speech API calls are made during gameplay. No audio data from your device is recorded or transmitted.
7. In-App Purchases
SoundFind offers optional in-app purchases (hint packs) through the platform app store (Apple App Store, Google Play, or Microsoft Store). All purchases are processed by the platform provider under their own terms and privacy policy. Unique Interactive Games does not receive or store your payment information.
8. Third-Party Services
Crash Reporting (Sentry)
SoundFind uses Sentry (sentry.io) to collect anonymous crash reports. If the app encounters an unhandled error, a report is automatically sent containing the error message, a technical stack trace, and your device's operating system and browser version. Reports do not include your name, email address, IP address, game data, or any other personal information. Crash data is stored on Sentry's servers in the United States and retained for 30 days. Sentry's privacy policy is available at sentry.io/privacy.
The game may be distributed through third-party platforms (App Store, Google Play, Microsoft Store). Those platforms have their own privacy policies governing data collected at the platform level.
9. Children's Privacy
SoundFind is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Because all game data is stored locally on your device and no personal information is transmitted to Unique Interactive Games, the game does not have a mechanism to collect personal data from any user, including children. No account or registration is required.
Note: advertising networks may apply their own age-appropriate restrictions. If you are a parent or guardian with concerns about advertising shown to a child, refer to the advertising network's family policy or use your device's parental controls.
10. Your Rights (Australian Privacy Act 1988)
Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988, you have the right to access, correct, and delete personal information held about you. SoundFind stores all game data locally on your device. The only information transmitted externally is anonymous crash reports (see Section 8), which contain no personal information. You retain full control over your game data at all times.
Specifically, you may:
- Access your data โ all game data is stored in your browser's local storage and accessible via your browser's developer tools.
- Delete your data โ clear the game's local storage via your browser or device settings, or uninstall the app.
As Unique Interactive Games does not receive or hold any of your personal information, there is no data held by us to request, correct, or delete. For any privacy-related questions, contact us at privacy@uniquegames.com.au.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in the game, applicable law, or our practices. When we make changes, we will update the Last updated date at the top of this page.
For significant changes โ particularly any that affect how advertising or data is handled โ we will communicate the update within the game itself. Continued use of the game after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
