Color Sort – Water Puzzle ("we", "our", or "the app") is developed by SoftTech Service and respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how your information is handled when you use our Android application.

Short version: We do not collect, store, or share any personal data. All game data stays on your device. No account is required to play.

Rewarded Video Ads
