Privacy Policy

Game: Trace Tales (圈圈寻踪) · Last updated: 10 November 2026 · Effective: 10 November 2026

The short version. This is a fully offline, single-player game. There is no account, no server, and no analytics, advertising, or tracking of any kind — and we do not track you. Nothing the game generates ever leaves your device, and we never receive any of it.

1. Who we are

Trace Tales ("the Game", "we", "us") is a mobile game published for iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play) by an independent developer, who is the data controller for the purposes described below. You can reach us at carlong@gmail.com.

2. What we do not collect

We do not ask for, and cannot access, your name, email address, phone number, postal address, contacts, photos, camera, microphone, precise GPS location, or any health data. The Game has no account system, no login, and no server. It integrates no analytics, advertising, or tracking SDK, and makes no network requests at all — gameplay is entirely on your device.

3. Information handled when you play

3.1 Stored on your device only

Game progress (unlocked levels, stars, collected companions, settings, the levels you create yourself, and a small aggregate usage log used only for local debugging) is stored locally in the app's private storage on your device. None of it is transmitted to us or to anyone else. Deleting the Game, or clearing its data, permanently removes it. Because we never receive it, we cannot restore it.

3.2 The photo-to-level feature

When you use "make a level from a photo", the Game reads only the photo you personally pick and converts it into a puzzle on your device. The photo is never uploaded, no copy is kept, and it is released from memory as soon as you leave that screen. Photos are not stored or transmitted.

3.3 Local notifications (optional)

If you enable the "daily reminder", it is delivered by your device's own local notification system. It works offline and never carries content updates, promotions, or marketing. You can turn it off at any time in Settings.

4. Why this information is used

The only purpose of the data described above is to let the Game run on your device — to save your progress, to let you replay the levels you made, and to show a reminder if you asked for one. We do not profile you, and there is no advertising or resale of data.

5. Legal bases (EEA, UK and Switzerland)

Because we do not process any personal data, the GDPR lawful-basis and data-subject-rights machinery does not come into play for gameplay. The only personal data we ever hold is the email you choose to send us; for that correspondence we act as controller and rely on responding to your message and our legitimate interest in answering it.

6. Sharing

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it. The Game integrates no third-party SDK that receives data from you. The only "sharing" is you emailing us at the address above.

The Game currently includes no advertising and no in-app purchases. If that ever changes, this policy will be updated and announced before the change takes effect.

7. Your choices and rights

Because there is no account and we hold no personal data about you, there is little for you to exercise. You can delete everything at once by uninstalling the Game or clearing its data. If you contact us by email, we can act only on the information you provide in that message.

8. Children

The Game collects no personal data from anyone, of any age. It is therefore suitable for players of all ages and meets children's privacy requirements. If a parent or guardian believes a child has provided personal information to us by email, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. Retention

  • Game data: stored on your device until you delete the Game or clear its data.
  • Support emails: kept only as long as needed to resolve the issue, then deleted.

10. International transfers

None. No personal data leaves your device and there is no server, so nothing is transferred to another country.

11. Security

Game data stays in the app's sandboxed storage. The Game makes no network requests, so there is no transmission to intercept. We keep the data we handle to the minimum described above, which limits the impact of any incident.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy if the Game's behaviour changes (for example, if advertising or in-app purchases are added). The "Last updated" date at the top always reflects the current version. Material changes will be announced here and, where relevant, in the Game, before they take effect.

13. Contact

Questions, requests or complaints about privacy: carlong@gmail.com. We aim to respond within 3 business days.

5. 法律依据(欧洲经济区、英国、瑞士)

由于我们不处理任何个人数据,GDPR 的"合法性基础"与"数据主体权利"机制对游戏玩法并不适用。我们唯一可能持有的个人数据是你主动发来的邮件;对于这类往来,我们作为控制者,依据"回复你的邮件"以及"答复该请求的正当利益"处理。
