Privacy Policy
Summary at a Glance: Cubicles does NOT collect, store, share, or sell any personal data. The game operates entirely on your device and does not require an account, internet connection, or invasive device permissions to play.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile and web application Cubicles ("the App", "we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to protecting the privacy of our players. This document describes our practices regarding information handling when you use Cubicles.
By installing and playing Cubicles, you agree to the practices outlined in this policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the application.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
Cubicles is designed with privacy-by-default principles. Specifically:
- No Personal Information: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses, or payment details.
- No Accounts: You do not need to register, sign up, or link any social media profiles to play the game.
- No Location Data: We do not access or track your GPS or fine/coarse geographical location.
- No Biometric or Sensor Snooping: We do not access your camera, microphone, photos, files, or contacts.
- No Third-Party Advertising Trackers: We do not run third-party behavioral ad trackers or cross-app identifier networks.
3. Information Stored Locally on Your Device
To deliver a smooth and persistent gaming experience, Cubicles stores minimal gameplay preferences locally on your device via system-provided local storage (such as SharedPreferences):
- High Scores & Game Records: Your best scores and gameplay statistics so you can track your personal progress.
- Audio & Vibration Preferences: Your selected settings for sound effects (SFX), background music (BGM), and haptic feedback.
- Visual & Theme Preferences: Your active visual themes or board layout preferences.
Note: This data is stored strictly on your local hardware and is never transmitted to external cloud servers. You can clear this data at any time by clearing the application's storage in your device settings or by uninstalling the application.
4. Device Permissions
Cubicles requests only standard, non-sensitive capabilities essential to gameplay:
- Audio Playback: Required to play in-game music and sound effects.
- Vibration / Haptics: Used to provide tactile feedback during piece rotation, line clears, and game-over states.
No sensitive runtime permissions (such as Contacts, Storage Access Framework, Camera, or Microphone) are ever requested or utilized.
5. Children's Online Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K Compliance)
Protecting children's privacy is especially important to us. Cubicles is a family-friendly arcade puzzle game suitable for audiences of all ages.
Because Cubicles does not collect, retain, or transmit any personal identifiable information (PII) from any user, we comply fully with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal data from children under the age of 13 (or under the age of 16 in the European Union).
6. Security of Your Data
Because Cubicles does not transmit personal information across the internet or store personal profiles on remote databases, your personal data is not susceptible to remote server breaches or leaks.
7. Third-Party Links & Distribution Platforms
Cubicles may be downloaded from official application stores (such as Google Play or Apple App Store). These platform providers manage downloads, installations, and platform-level telemetry according to their own independent privacy policies:
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in legal requirements or potential future features (for instance, if optional cloud leaderboards or achievements are introduced in future versions). Any revisions will be published on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
