Privacy Policy
Last updated: [DATE] · Draft v0.1
Kaboomcano ("we") makes a free volcano game. This explains, in plain words, what data we collect and why. Short version: we collect as little as we can, and we never sell your data.
Guest play
You can play without an account. In guest mode, your progress (like unlocks and streaks) is stored only in your browser or on your device. We don't get it.
Optional sign-in (coming later)
Later we may offer optional sign-in with Google, Apple, or email so you can keep progress across devices and appear on leaderboards. If you sign in, we'll receive your email address and a user ID from that service, plus your game progress and the display name you choose. We use these only to run your account and the game. We do not offer TikTok sign-in.
Photos stay on your device
If you add a pet or friend photo to play with, it's read and drawn directly in your browser or app. It is never uploaded to us or anyone else. Only add photos of people who said OK, and never photos of kids.
Clips
Clips you save are made on your device. They only leave your device if you choose to share them, for example to TikTok, Instagram or YouTube. Those apps' own privacy policies then apply.
Notifications
Notifications (like "today's eruption is live") are opt-in only. You can turn them off anytime in your device settings.
Waitlist
If you join the waitlist, we keep your email to tell you when the app launches. We use a form provider ([PROVIDER NAME]) to collect it. You can ask us to delete it anytime.
What we don't do
- We don't sell or rent your personal data.
- This website has no third-party trackers, ad scripts or analytics cookies.
- We don't access your camera, microphone, contacts or location.
Ads and purchases (in the app, later)
The free app may show light ads. Purchases like the Island Pass go through Apple, Google or [PAYMENT PROVIDER], who handle your payment details. We don't see your full card number. [LAWYER: add ad network data disclosures here once chosen.]
Kids
Players under 13 can play in guest mode only. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and sign-in, leaderboards and the waitlist are for players 13 and older. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information, contact us and we'll delete it. [LAWYER: confirm COPPA, GDPR-K and app store age-rating requirements.]
Your choices
You can ask us to see, correct or delete your data by emailing us. Depending on where you live (for example California, the EU or Thailand), you may have more rights, and we'll honor them. [LAWYER: confirm CCPA, GDPR and Thailand PDPA wording.]
Security
We use HTTPS and keep data we hold to the minimum needed. No system is perfectly secure, but we'll tell you if a breach affects your data as the law requires.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date above and, for big changes, tell you in the game.
