Squid built the Gibbon Game app as a free application. This Service is provided at no cost and is intended for use as-is.

This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and disclosed when you use the Service, including data required by Meta’s Platform Features and Data Use Checkup (DUC).

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

1. Data Required by Meta Platform Features

Because the app requests Platform Features through Meta’s Data Use Checkup (DUC), the following data is collected and processed through Meta:

• USER_ID

Used to identify your Meta account for login, multiplayer, and game progress association.

• USER_PROFILE

May include your display name and profile picture as provided by the platform.
Used only for in-game identification and social features.

• IAP (In-App Purchases)

If your device performs an in-app purchase, Meta provides confirmation data.
Used only to grant purchased items and verify purchase validity.

This data is handled automatically through the platform and is not stored on our servers unless explicitly needed for game functionality.

2. Information You Provide Directly

The game may request access to:

• Microphone

Used only for in-game features requiring voice input. Audio is not stored.

• Internet Connection

Required for multiplayer, online features, content updates, and server communication.

• Game Files / Save Data

Stored on the user’s device and not transmitted to Squid unless needed for debugging at user request.
