Terms of Service — Cognitvs Games

👤01.Eligibility and Minimum Age

Our games and services are designed for a general audience aged 16 and older (or the digital age of consent in your jurisdiction). We intentionally avoid creating games with primary child appeal, thereby avoiding the collection of children’s data without necessary parental intervention.

By accessing or using our Services, you expressly represent and warrant that:

• You are at least 16 years of age or possess full legal capacity to enter into binding agreements in your territory;
• You are not prohibited from using the Services under applicable local laws or app store guidelines;
• You will only provide accurate, truthful, and updated information whenever contacting our studio.

🔄02.Modifications and Updates to Terms

We reserve the right to review, update, or replace these Terms at any time to reflect game enhancements, technological evolution, legislative changes, or distribution store requirements (such as Google Play Store policies).

• Material changes become effective upon publication on this page or via in-game notices;
• The "Last Revised" date at the top indicates the current effective version;
• Continued gameplay following modifications constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you disagree, please discontinue and uninstall the games.

🔒03.Privacy Policy

Your privacy is paramount. Please review our Global Privacy Policy to understand our minimal data practices, Google AdMob ad identifiers, crash telemetry, and local on-device persistence (LGPD, GDPR, and US regulations compliant).

By agreeing to these Terms, you also acknowledge and accept our Privacy Policy.

📱04.User Accounts and Synchronization

Most Cognitvs Games do not require account registration or login. Your game saves and level progression remain strictly on your local device.

• You are responsible for safeguarding your device against unauthorized access;
