The short version: this app collects nothing.
Last updated: 11 September 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Apps No Ads — the software label of Melvin Stevens — handles information in its applications and on this website (appsnoads.com). It applies to Simply Sudoku and all other Apps No Ads apps.
None. These apps do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, location, or any other personal information. There is no account to create and no sign-in. No advertising identifiers are used.
To make the apps work, some information is saved locally on your device only and is never transmitted to Apps No Ads or anyone else. For Simply Sudoku this includes:
This data stays in the app’s private storage on your device. None of it identifies you, and none of it is transmitted. You can remove it at any time by clearing the app’s data or uninstalling the app; the Reset statistics button in the app clears the statistics.
The same applies to Simply Sudoku Pro, which is the same app in a separate edition. Both editions keep their data locally; neither shares it with the other on Android or iOS, where each app is sandboxed.
These apps contain no advertising SDKs, no analytics or crash-reporting services, and no social-media or third-party tracking libraries. No user profiles are built, and there is nothing to sell to third parties, because nothing is collected.
Simply Sudoku is designed to run fully offline. It does not send data over the network during normal use. The only times it hands off to another app are ones you start yourself:
If you choose to is processed by Stripe, a third-party payment provider, through a secure Stripe checkout page. Apps No Ads never sees or stores your card details. Any information you provide there is handled under Stripe’s Privacy Policy. Donations are optional and are not required to use any app.
If you buy Simply Sudoku Pro, the purchase is made through and processed by the app store you buy it from (Google Play, the Apple App Store, or the Microsoft Store) under that store’s terms and privacy policy. Apps No Ads receives no payment details and no personal information about the buyer. There are no purchases inside either edition of the app.
This website is a set of static pages and loads no third-party fonts. Temporarily, and only to help promote the launch of Simply Sudoku, the site includes Google's advertising tag (Google Ads / gtag.js). It is used solely to measure how many visitors arrive from our ads and go on to install the app, so we can gauge whether that promotion is working. We retain no user-specific data from it and build no personal profiles — it exists only for aggregate campaign measurement, and this tag will be removed once the launch promotion ends. The web host may also keep standard server logs (such as IP addresses and requested pages) for security and reliability; these are not used to identify or track you.
To be clear, this applies to the website only: the apps themselves — including Simply Sudoku — still contain no ads, no analytics, and no trackers of any kind (see section 3), and continue to work fully offline.
The app stores that distribute these apps (Google Play, the Apple App Store, and the Microsoft Store) may collect their own information — for example, download counts or aggregate statistics — under their own privacy policies. That collection is controlled by those platforms, not by Apps No Ads.
These apps are suitable for all ages and do not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
If this policy changes, this page will be updated and the “Last updated” date above revised. Because no personal data is collected, individual notifications aren’t possible.
