AZDECK Copacabana — Privacy policy

Effective date: 8 November 2026

Who we are and what this covers

AZDECK Copacabana is provided by DEDIMI LTD, company number 11572950, registered in England and Wales. Correspondence address: 37 Tumulus Road, Saltdean, Brighton BN2 8FR, United Kingdom. Email: dedimi@dedimi.com. DEDIMI LTD is the controller for personal information it uses to provide and support the app. This policy covers the Android app. The Dedimi shopping website has its own privacy policy. The Android package name is com.dedimi.copacabana.

Your game stays on your device

Your current round, scores, target counts, player name, settings and theme choices are stored on your Android device. There is no Dedimi login, online leaderboard or cloud synchronisation. We do not receive your locally saved words, scores or player name through gameplay. Android app backup and device transfer are disabled for this app. Clearing app storage or uninstalling removes this local information; we cannot recover it for you.

Advertising

Free play uses Google AdMob advertising when available. Google’s advertising SDK collects and shares IP addresses (which may be used to estimate approximate location), app and ad interactions, diagnostic information, and device or app identifiers with Google for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention. The app does not request precise GPS location, contacts, camera or microphone access. This release excludes permission to access the Google Play services advertising ID and Android Ad Services advertising ID. Other identifiers may still be processed as described below. There is no separate Dedimi analytics SDK.

App Set ID and other identifiers

Google’s advertising SDK may collect App Set ID for analytics and fraud prevention. App Set ID identifies a set of apps belonging to the same developer on a device. This app does not use App Set ID for personalised advertising or ad measurement, and does not link it to advertising IDs or personal information for advertising purposes. Removing advertising-ID access does not remove all identifiers or all data processing by Google. Google’s SDK may also process other device, app or account-related identifiers where applicable, subject to your choices and Google’s privacy information.

Bundled Dedimi adverts

When Google cannot supply an advert, the app can show a bundled Dedimi or ULOCKMI Twofold advert instead. These adverts work offline, use no impression or click analytics, and do not load remote advertising resources or use web storage. A local preference alternates the two adverts. Tap Continue to game to complete the requested game, hint or theme action; visiting the website is optional. Closing the advert without completing it gives no reward. Ad-free membership removes both types of advert. If you choose to visit dedimi.com, it opens in your browser and the website’s privacy and cookie information applies.

Your advertising choices

Where required, Google’s consent service presents advertising privacy choices before advertising is requested. You can revisit the available controls through Advertising privacy choices in the app menu. You can withdraw consent there without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing. Declining personalised advertising does not necessarily stop all ads or all permitted processing. If your choices or ad availability prevent a Google rewarded ad from being supplied, a bundled Dedimi advert may be shown instead. Complete it using Continue to game; visiting the website is not required. If neither advert can be supplied, the selected action may be unavailable. You can return without starting a new game or revealing a hint.

Ad-free membership and payments

Google Play handles payment details and subscription purchases under its own terms and privacy information. The app accesses subscription product identifiers, purchase tokens, purchase status and signed purchase information supplied by Google Play to recognise and restore membership and verify purchases. It returns the purchase token to Google Play to acknowledge a completed purchase. These purchase records support app functionality and fraud prevention. Purchasing membership is optional. The app processes these records in memory; it does not save purchase tokens or receipts to its own files or send them to a Dedimi server. Dedimi does not receive your full card or bank details. Membership checks may need an internet connection. An active membership removes in-app ads; purchase and consent services may still communicate with Google. Restoring membership does not restore local scores or game progress.

Support information

If you contact us, we receive your email address, message and any information or attachments you choose to send. We use these to answer your request, resolve problems and handle complaints. Please do not send passwords or full payment details. Dedimi’s support email is hosted by IONOS. Relevant email and technical-support providers process support information for us. We do not add you to a marketing list merely because you play the game or contact support.

Why we use personal information

We rely on performance of our contract with you for information necessary to deliver membership and handle contractual service requests. We rely on consent for advertising-related storage, access and personal-data processing where consent is required. For other proportionate support, service security and fraud prevention, we rely on our legitimate interests in answering enquiries and protecting the service, balanced against your rights. We rely on legal obligations where we must retain business records. Google explains its own processing and legal bases in its privacy information.

Who receives information

Google receives information through advertising, consent and purchase services. IONOS and any support providers we use receive information needed to handle your communications. We may disclose necessary information to professional advisers or authorities where required by law or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. We do not sell your locally saved game information. Google privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Google advertising information: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

How long information is kept

Local game information remains until it is cleared or the app is uninstalled. We delete resolved support emails 12 months after resolution, unless particular information is needed for an ongoing dispute or legal obligation; we retain only what is needed in those cases. Membership status is refreshed as necessary to recognise current access. Any transaction records Dedimi must retain are kept for the period required by applicable accounting and legal obligations. Google retains information under its own policies. Purchase restoration and local-data deletion do not delete Google’s transaction records.

International processing and security

Google and our service providers may process information outside the UK. Where Dedimi makes a restricted international transfer, we must use an appropriate mechanism, such as an applicable UK adequacy regulation or approved contractual safeguards. Contact us for details of the safeguards relevant to your information.

Google’s Mobile Ads SDK encrypts transmitted user data using Transport Layer Security (TLS). The Android app disallows cleartext HTTP traffic. Local game information is stored in the app’s private Android storage, with app backup and device transfer disabled. Purchase verification is performed locally using Google Play’s signed purchase information, and the app does not persist purchase tokens or receipts. Bundled Dedimi adverts load only their packaged resources; optional website links open separately in your browser. We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect information, but no system can guarantee absolute security.

Deleting information

You can remove the game’s local information using Android Settings → Apps → AZDECK Copacabana → Storage → Clear data, or by uninstalling the app. This removes local rounds, scores, player name, settings and saved theme choices. It does not cancel a Google Play subscription or delete records held by Google. There is no Dedimi game account to delete.

To request deletion of support information held by Dedimi, email dedimi@dedimi.com and identify the correspondence concerned. We may retain information where needed for a legal obligation or an ongoing dispute, as explained above. To manage or request deletion of information held by Google, use Google’s privacy controls at https://myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy or contact Google through https://policies.google.com/privacy. Dedimi cannot retrieve or erase Google’s advertising or transaction records directly.

Your rights and complaints

Depending on the circumstances, you can request access, correction, erasure, restriction or a portable copy of your personal information, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. You can withdraw consent where we rely on it. Email dedimi@dedimi.com; we may need information to verify your identity and locate your records. We normally respond within one month, subject to lawful extensions. We cannot retrieve game information held only on your device. You can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/.

Adults and policy updates

The app is designed and marketed for adults aged 18 and over, particularly adults who enjoy word puzzles. It is not directed at children. If you believe a child has supplied personal information to Dedimi, contact us so we can investigate. We will update this policy when our practices change and notify you of material changes where appropriate. The effective date will appear on the published policy.
