Summary

Lazy Color turns photos on your phone into paint-by-number puzzles. We do not run a Synova account system for this app. Most processing happens on your device. This release does not include a live in-app purchase.

Photos and puzzles

• Choosing a photo: The app uses the Android system photo picker so you select one image. It does not request broad photo-library access (READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE or READ_MEDIA_*).
• Gallery photos: When you choose a photo, the puzzle is built on your device. Synova Games does not receive a copy of that image for puzzle generation.
• Saved paintings: If you use Save, images are stored in the app's local gallery on your device. On Android 10 and newer, saves use the system media APIs. On Android 9 and older, a write-storage permission limited to API 28 may be used only for that save.
• Optional gallery submit: If you choose Submit to Synova, one image (and an optional short caption) is uploaded over HTTPS to Synova's server for manual review. It is not published until approved. We do not use submitted images for advertising. You can browse approved images at https://synovagames.com/lazycolor-gallery.php.
• Image links: If you paste a URL, your device downloads the file from that address. That request goes to the site in the link, not to Synova for hosting your photo.
• Your responsibility: Only use photos you own or have permission to use. We do not review every image you pick on device. Submitted gallery images are user-generated content we review before they appear on the public gallery.

Data on your device

Settings such as music and sound volume, color count, and your age-screen choice are stored locally on the device. The app does not require email sign-in. Uninstalling the app removes this local data, subject to your operating system's backup behavior.

Age screen

On first launch the app shows a screen titled AGE that asks How old are you? with two equal choices: Under 13 or 13 or older.

• The choice is stored only on your device.
• It is not used to create an account, profile, or marketing list.
• If age is not yet known, the app treats the player as under 13 until you choose.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

On Android, the free version may show a banner ad on the title and play screens. Ads are served by Google AdMob (app ID ca-app-pub-3502785777973508~5931107153). Google AdMob and its partners may process data such as the Android Advertising ID, device and app information, and ad interaction data, under Google's policies.

• Under 13 (or not yet chosen): Ad requests use child-directed settings (COPPA / Google Play Families-style treatment), are capped at a general (G) content rating, and are not personalized. Only banner ads are used. AdMob starts only after the age screen is answered.
• 13 or older: Standard AdMob banner ads may be shown. Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) may request consent where required (for example in the EEA/UK).

Google Privacy Policy - AdMob and privacy

You can limit ad tracking in Android settings.

In-app purchases

This release does not offer a live in-app purchase or Google Play Billing product. There is no paid Remove Ads purchase to complete on Google Play in this version.

Permissions

• Internet: For ads, optional image URL downloads, optional gallery submit, and a version check against synovagames.com.
• Network state: Used by the ad SDK to know when the network is available.
• Advertising ID (AD_ID): Declared by the Google AdMob SDK so ads can use the Android Advertising ID where allowed.
• Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): Declared by the AdMob SDK.
• Photos: System picker only. No READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and no READ_MEDIA_*.
• Write storage: WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE with maxSdkVersion=28 only, for saving an image on Android 9 and older. Not used on Android 10+.

The app is not an Android TV app, does not use Bluetooth, and ships for 64-bit ARM (arm64) with target API 36.

Children and mixed audience

Lazy Color is a casual coloring app for a mixed audience (children and adults). We do not require sign-in and do not ask children for a name, email, or other contact information. Photo processing and saved paintings stay on your device unless you choose to share them outside the app or submit them to the Synova gallery.

Parents or guardians with questions can contact us below.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. Data may be processed by Google (AdMob, UMP consent, Advertising ID) to serve ads, and by Synova Games on synovagames.com if you optionally submit a gallery image.

Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top will change when we do.
