Privacy Policy

01Information we collect

Information is collected electronically, through the software components built into the game, this website's server and emails you send us.

• On your device only: your progress and settings. They are not sent to us and are deleted when you delete the game.
• Play data (optional): in the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, Türkiye and South Korea, only if you choose Share when the game asks, or turn on Settings → Play Data. Elsewhere it is on from the start, and you can turn it off at any time in Settings → Play Data. To tell which applies, the game checks your device's time zone and region setting (on Android, also the SIM and network country) on the device itself; these are not sent. While play data is on, the game sends gameplay events (progress, checkpoints, deaths and where in a level they happen, story choices, skipped scenes and trailers, pauses, settings, use of the unlock screen, whether you bought the full story and at what local price), performance and crash reports (including whether the game closed unexpectedly and how much memory it was using), device information (model, operating system, language, memory, graphics chip, screen size, battery level, game version, input type, local hour of day), a random identifier for your installation (on iOS, the identifier for vendor) and your IP address, which is used to determine your country. We do not use your advertising identifier. Whether the play-data question was shown and how it was answered is counted without any identifier, so we can see how many players share.
• Purchase data: when the game starts online and when you buy or restore the full story, our purchase provider receives a random user identifier, the store's purchase receipt, the product and its price, your device type, operating system, app version and IP address. Payments are handled by Google Play or the App Store; we never receive your payment details.
• Website: our host processes your IP address and browser information in server logs. The website uses no cookies or analytics.
• Emails: if you contact us, your email address and your message.

02How we use it

• Play data: to fix bugs and crashes, improve performance and see where players get stuck, as statistics across all players.
• Purchase data: to deliver, restore and, after a refund, remove the full story.
• Emails: to answer you. Server logs: to run and protect the website.

We don't use your data for advertising, sell it, or make automated decisions about you.

03Legal basis

Play data: in the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, Türkiye and South Korea, your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a); KVKK Art. 5(1)); elsewhere, our legitimate interest in fixing and improving the game, which you can object to at any time by turning Play Data off. Purchase data: performance of a contract (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b); KVKK Art. 5(2)(c)). Emails and server logs: our legitimate interests (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f); KVKK Art. 5(2)(f)). Refusing or withdrawing consent, or turning Play Data off, doesn't affect the game in any way.

04Service providers

We share data only with these providers, who process it on our behalf under contracts that require them to protect it:

• GameAnalytics ApS (Denmark): play data. Privacy notice
• PostHog, Inc. (United States): play data, for product analytics. Privacy notice
• RevenueCat, Inc. (United States): purchase data. Privacy notice
• Vercel Inc. (United States): website hosting. Privacy notice

Google Play and the Apple App Store distribute the game and process payments under their own privacy policies. We may also disclose information if the law requires it.

05International transfers

Play data and purchase data are stored in the United States. For users in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, these transfers are protected by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. For users in Türkiye, they are made in accordance with Article 9 of the KVKK.

06Retention

• Play data: up to 18 months (IP addresses and identifiers up to 12 months), after which only anonymous totals are kept.
• Purchase data: as long as needed to restore your purchase, or until you ask us to delete it.
• Emails: until your request is resolved, and no longer than 12 months.
• Server logs: for a short period set by our host.

07Your rights

You can withdraw your consent, or turn play data off, at any time in Settings → Play Data; the game then stops sending play data. You can ask us to access, correct, delete or send you a copy of your data, or to restrict or stop processing it, by writing to melonryou@gmail.com. We answer free of charge within 30 days. Because play data is linked only to a random identifier, we may ask for details that help us find yours.

If you are in Türkiye, you also have the rights listed in Article 11 of the KVKK, including to learn to whom your data has been transferred and to claim compensation for unlawful processing. You can complain to your data protection authority (in Türkiye, the Personal Data Protection Authority). We don't sell or share personal information as defined by California law.

08Children

The game is intended for players aged 13 and older and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect their information. Players under 16 should ask a parent or guardian before turning on Play Data, and a parent or guardian can turn it off in Settings → Play Data. If you believe a child has shared data with us, contact us and we will delete it.

09Security

All data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS), and access to it is limited to the developer.

10Changes

We will post any changes on this page with a new effective date. If a change affects what the game collects, the game will ask for your consent again.
