1. Who we are and what this policy covers
UNC CONCEPTS INC, based in Ontario, Canada, operates Odd Berry Games. This Privacy Policy covers the Odd Berry Games website, Forest Friends, NumberNook and support communications with us. In this policy, “we,” “us” and “our” mean UNC CONCEPTS INC.
Different games and versions have different features. The sections below explain which services apply to each game. A feature described here processes information only when it is available and used or enabled in your version.
For questions or privacy requests, contact support@oddberrygames.com. We are responsible for the information we handle. Apple and Google also process information through their services under the notices linked below.
2. When you visit our website
The website does not have player accounts or a mailing list. Our website source does not add advertising tags or Google Analytics. Fonts, images and screenshot gallery libraries are served with the site. The hosting environment also adds the performance-monitoring script described below.
Choosing Pause motion or Resume motion saves a preference in your browser’s local storage. Our website code uses it only to control animation and does not send it to us. Clear the site’s browser data to remove it. Blocking local storage does not prevent browsing.
Our website hosting service can process technical request information such as IP address, requested page, browser and device information, request time and security logs to deliver and protect the site. The live website includes GoDaddy’s Real User Metrics performance-monitoring script. GoDaddy describes this monitoring as measuring connection and page-load timing to improve hosting performance. See GoDaddy’s Privacy Notice and its explanation of Real User Metrics. The game’s optional statistics setting does not control website-hosting records or monitoring.
3. Game progress and information on your device
Neither Forest Friends nor NumberNook requires an Odd Berry Games account. Both games store progress and preferences on your device.
- Forest Friends: saved boards, completed levels, scores, rewards, use of game tools and sound or other preferences.
- NumberNook: puzzle attempts and routes, completed levels, medals, daily puzzle results and streaks, hints, undo allowances, earned rewards, appearance choices and settings.
We use these records to continue your game, apply game rules and preserve earned progress. They are not automatically uploaded to an Odd Berry Games account. Any optional analytics, advertising or Game Center activity is separate from these local saves.
On iPhone and iPad, deleting the app and its data can remove local progress. Offloading an app can retain its documents and data. Device or iCloud backups are controlled by your Apple settings and may contain saved progress. Signing into Game Center does not by itself provide cloud saves for either game. For NumberNook on Android, see the Android section below.
4. Advertising and ad privacy choices
Forest Friends and NumberNook support advertising through Google AdMob. Forest Friends supports banner ads and optional rewarded ads for additional game tools. NumberNook supports optional rewarded ads for hints, undo uses and retries. Availability depends on the version, region, connection and privacy choices. Each reward offer explains what watching the ad provides.
When ads are enabled, Google’s advertising services can process IP address and approximate location, app or device identifiers, device and app information, ad views and interactions, performance measurements and crash information. This supports ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention and service reliability. An advertising identifier is available only where permitted by the operating system and applicable permissions. A lack of tracking permission does not stop all ad delivery or technical data processing.
Google’s consent tools present choices where required. Revisit available choices in Forest Friends → Settings → Privacy choices or NumberNook → Settings → About → Privacy options → Ad privacy. Ad privacy entries appear when the consent service requires them. In earlier NumberNook versions, Privacy options is directly in Settings. You can also review tracking permissions in your iPhone’s Privacy & Security settings. If you cannot find a relevant privacy control, contact us.
For Forest Friends on iPhone and iPad, personalized advertising depends on consent, device permissions and the settings that apply to you. NumberNook 1.1.1 requests non-personalized ads on both iOS and Android. NumberNook on Android also requests non-personalized ads in earlier versions. We request consent where required before the relevant processing. Declining personalization can still allow contextual ads and processing needed to provide or secure them. Ad consent is separate from either game’s optional gameplay statistics.
See Google’s Privacy Policy, how Google uses information from apps that use its services and Google’s Mobile Ads data disclosure. Ad destinations have their own privacy practices.
5. Gameplay statistics and crash reports
Forest Friends: optional gameplay statistics
Versions of Forest Friends that offer Settings → Share gameplay statistics can send statistics to Google Analytics for Firebase when you turn this setting on. Collection is off by default. Versions without this feature do not send these gameplay statistics. Your choice does not change puzzles, scores, rewards or access to the game.
These statistics describe level entry, wins, losses, restarts, remaining pairs, time spent playing, mistakes, use of hints, shuffle, undo and continues, and leaving or backgrounding a puzzle. They also describe rewarded-ad offers, requests, whether an ad was shown, confirmed rewards, saved rewards and outcomes such as cancellation or unavailability. We use them to understand puzzle difficulty, identify interruptions and help or reward problems, and improve reliability.
Custom events include randomly generated puzzle-attempt and ad-offer references and the game content version. They do not include your profile name, email address, Game Center identity, complete puzzle board, advertising identifier or raw ad-provider error messages. Firebase can also process technical information such as an app instance identifier, app and operating system versions, device model, language, session activity and approximate location derived from IP address. Installation identifiers distinguish installations, so these records are not necessarily anonymous.
We configure this gameplay statistics feature without advertising personalization; its advertising-storage and advertising-user-data consent remain denied. The separate AdMob service is described above. Turning gameplay statistics on does not grant ad consent.
Turn off Share gameplay statistics to stop further collection through this feature. Custom gameplay and ad-outcome events from periods when sharing is off are not queued for later submission. Turning it off does not automatically erase information already received. To request deletion of information we can reasonably identify, contact us using the privacy-request process below. See Firebase’s privacy information.
NumberNook: gameplay statistics and welcome
Starting with version 1.1.1, NumberNook asks you to accept the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy before playing. Acceptance is remembered and does not change your gameplay-statistics choice. Notifications are requested separately through your device when supported.
Gameplay statistics remain optional and off by default for new players. Existing choices are preserved. When enabled, Google Analytics for Firebase receives events such as levels started and completed, gameplay tools used and ad outcomes, together with app-instance identifiers, device information and approximate location derived from network information. Our game does not send your name, email address or account details to Analytics.
NumberNook 1.1.1 does not offer advertising-install measurement or request Apple's cross-app tracking permission. Firebase advertising storage, advertising user data and ad personalization remain disabled. This does not prevent the separate AdMob service from processing the technical information described in the advertising section, subject to your applicable privacy choices.
On both platforms, use Settings → About → Privacy options → Gameplay analytics. Earlier versions use Share statistics or Gameplay analytics directly in Settings. Turning this off stops further collection through this feature without deleting existing server reports. Events from disabled periods are not queued for later submission. Accepting the terms or allowing notifications does not enable analytics. Contact support@oddberrygames.com for privacy requests. See Firebase’s privacy information.
Apple reports for both games
Apple may provide app usage, performance and crash reports for Forest Friends and NumberNook, subject to its reporting rules and your sharing settings. We use available reports to investigate errors and improve reliability. Reports can contain device and operating system details, app version, usage measurements and technical crash information.
Review your choices under Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements on your iPhone. See Device Analytics & Privacy. Advertising services can process their own diagnostic information independently.
5a. NumberNook on Android
NumberNook on Android saves progress and preferences in the app's private storage. It does not require an Odd Berry Games account or provide its own cloud-save service. Android device backup and device transfer may include game progress and ordinary preferences, according to your device and Google account settings. Clearing app storage removes the local game data; uninstalling may remove it unless a device backup restores it.
Optional rewarded ads for Hint, Undo and Retry are supplied by Google AdMob. AdMob can process device identifiers, including the Android advertising ID when permitted, IP-derived approximate location, interaction information and diagnostics for advertising, measurement and fraud prevention. You can manage the advertising ID in Android's advertising privacy settings. Where required, NumberNook's Settings → About → Privacy options → Ad privacy opens Google's ad privacy choices; earlier versions use Settings → Privacy options. NumberNook requests non-personalized ads. Gameplay analytics and ad consent are separate choices.
Gameplay analytics is optional and off by default for new players, as described in section 5. Our Firebase app is linked to AdMob for combined gameplay and monetization reporting; this does not enable analytics without your choice or enable personalized advertising. Firebase advertising storage, advertising user data and personalization remain disabled. Turning gameplay analytics off stops future collection through that feature without resetting the analytics instance or erasing reports already received.
Google Play may provide installation, stability and performance reports under its own reporting rules. The initial Android release does not enable a Play Games leaderboard or collect a Play Games player ID.
6. Apple Game Center
Forest Friends can offer Apple Game Center features in versions where the integration is enabled. If you sign in and use those features, Apple can process your player identifier, profile and gameplay activity. The game can receive a scoped player identifier and profile information and submit scores for enabled leaderboards. Other players may see your nickname, profile or scores according to Apple’s settings.
NumberNook versions with Game Center integration try to connect after startup. If you are already signed in to Game Center, connection may happen automatically. The game receives your Game Center display name and game-scoped player identifier and sends completed achievements to Apple. It keeps an account-binding identifier on this device to avoid sharing local awards with a different account without reconnection. These Game Center identifiers are not sent to Firebase or AdMob. You can disconnect achievement sharing in the game; this stops future sharing but does not delete achievements already held by Apple. Puzzle saves and tool balances stay on this device and are not restored through Game Center.
Manage sign in and profile visibility in your device’s Game Center settings. See Game Center & Privacy and Apple’s Privacy Policy.
6a. NumberNook notifications and rating requests
Starting with NumberNook 1.1.1, after you accept the welcome Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, the app requests your device's notification permission if you have not already answered it. Earlier versions may offer notifications after five completed campaign levels. Android 12 and earlier has no equivalent system permission dialog; use the in-game Notifications setting to enable or disable notifications. In versions that support remote announcements, the single Settings → Notifications choice covers Daily reminders and occasional game updates. Existing reminder choices carry forward; there is no second permission request. Notifications work independently of the optional gameplay-statistics choice.
Daily reminders stay on your device: they are planned for 7 PM in your device's time zone for up to a week. Delivery can be delayed by device or battery settings. No server sends a duplicate Daily reminder. Older versions without remote-announcement support use only these local reminders and cannot receive remote announcements.
Occasional game updates: when Notifications is enabled and device permission allows it, supported versions register with Google Firebase Cloud Messaging and, on Apple devices, Apple Push Notification service. These providers process app-installation identifiers, push registration tokens and technical app/device and connection information needed to deliver messages. The app subscribes to general game-update topics for both platforms or its platform. Notification enrollment does not send your saved puzzles, scores or routes to an announcement server. Tapping a notification may open Home, Daily or the game's store listing; active puzzles are preserved.
Your control: turn off Settings → Notifications to cancel local reminders and request withdrawal from remote topics and deletion of the push registration token. If offline, withdrawal is retried when connectivity and platform execution allow; reopening the game can be necessary on iOS. Messages already queued or delivered may still appear. You can also block notifications immediately in device settings; Android has separate system channels for Daily reminders and Game updates. Deleting a messaging token does not by itself delete every Firebase installation identifier or historical provider record. Provider retention and deletion practices are described in Firebase's privacy information and Apple's Privacy Policy.
After ten completed campaign levels, the game may request a rating through the App Store or Google Play. The store controls whether its rating dialog appears. If gameplay statistics are enabled, the app can report notification-permission choices, local reminder opens and whether a rating request was made. These optional statistics do not include the rating you give the store. Provider notification reporting can be incomplete and depends on platform and separately permitted analytics; enabling Notifications does not enable gameplay analytics.
7. When you contact us
When you email support@oddberrygames.com, we receive your email address, your message and any information you choose to include, such as your name, device details or screenshots. We use it to answer your request, troubleshoot problems, keep a record of the conversation and address related disputes or legal obligations.
Only include information relevant to your request. Do not send passwords, payment card details or unrelated sensitive information. Our email service provider processes messages to deliver and store support correspondence.
8. Why we process information and how consent works
We process information to provide requested game and website features, preserve progress, answer support requests, improve reliability and puzzle design, deliver permitted advertising, protect against misuse and meet legal obligations.
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on consent for optional analytics and advertising processing that requires consent; providing services you request where necessary for a contract; legitimate interests such as responding to support requests and maintaining security where those interests are not overridden by your rights; and compliance with legal obligations. We request consent where required by Canadian privacy law and other applicable laws.
Reading this policy or using the website does not replace a required consent choice. You may withdraw consent through the controls described here or by contacting us. Withdrawal affects future processing and does not make earlier lawful processing unlawful. Some optional features may not work without the information they need.
10. Retention and security
We retain personal information only for as long as needed for its stated purpose, including applicable legal obligations and the resolution of disputes.
- Local saves and preferences: remain on your device until removed, reset or replaced; copies in device backups follow your backup settings.
- Support correspondence: is retained while needed to resolve and follow up on the request, maintain relevant support records or meet legal obligations. When no longer needed, it is deleted or anonymized.
- Hosting, advertising, analytics, messaging and platform records: retention depends on the service, its settings and the purposes described above. Records we control are subject to our retention obligations; records a provider independently controls follow its policies.
We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, including limiting access to those who need it. No system is completely secure. Contact us if you believe information related to our services has been exposed or misused.
11. Your privacy rights and choices
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may request access to your personal information, correction, deletion, a portable copy, or limits on certain processing. You may also have rights to object, withdraw consent, opt out of targeted advertising or certain disclosures, and complain to a privacy regulator. These rights can be subject to exceptions.
Email support@oddberrygames.com with the subject Privacy request. Tell us which game or website interaction your request concerns. We may ask for information reasonably needed to identify the relevant records and verify your authority. We do not have a player account directory, so an email address alone may not identify device or analytics records.
We respond within the period required by applicable law and explain any lawful limitation. If your jurisdiction provides an appeal right, reply to our response requesting an appeal. We do not penalize you for exercising privacy rights. Where permitted, an authorized agent may submit a request with proof of authority.
You can remove local game data through your device settings, manage backups through Apple or Android/Google settings, change available ad privacy choices, and turn off Forest Friends → Settings → Share gameplay statistics or NumberNook → Settings → About → Privacy options → Gameplay analytics on either platform. Earlier NumberNook versions place Share statistics or Gameplay analytics directly in Settings. Use NumberNook → Settings → Notifications to control local reminders and, in supported versions, remote announcements, as explained above. Removing local data does not erase records held by providers. We can help with requests concerning information we control; Apple or Google may need to handle information they control independently.
You may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, a relevant provincial authority or the privacy regulator where you live.
12. Children and families
Forest Friends and NumberNook are designed for a general audience and are not specifically directed to children. NumberNook on Android is intended for ages 13 and older. App-store age ratings describe game content and do not replace privacy consent requirements.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, or below the applicable age for providing privacy consent, without consent from a parent or guardian where required. A parent or guardian should help a child understand privacy choices and avoid enabling optional data collection where the child cannot provide valid consent.
If you believe a child has provided information without required consent, contact support@oddberrygames.com. We will investigate and take appropriate steps, including deleting information we control where required.
13. Updates and contact
This policy was last updated November 13, 2026. We update the date when the policy changes. For material changes, we provide notice on the website or in the affected game as appropriate and obtain fresh consent where required before using information for a new purpose.
