# Privacy Policy for Lethal Ape The Dark
Lethal Ape The Dark ("we," "our," or "us") is a virtual reality game available on Meta platforms, including the Meta Quest Store. This document serves as our comprehensive legal agreement regarding the collection, processing, and safeguarding of your personal data. By accessing or utilizing our software, you consent to the data practices described in this policy, which have been designed to comply with global privacy standards while ensuring optimal functionality and compliance with platform requirements.
## Information We Collect
To facilitate a secure and seamless virtual reality experience, we systematically collect specific categories of information when you interact with our application.
- **Account Information:** We retrieve your unique **User ID** associated with your **Meta Horizon** profile to authenticate your session and maintain your identity across sessions. Furthermore, we collect data regarding your **User age group** to ensure appropriate content delivery and strict compliance with applicable regulatory frameworks.
- **Device Information:** We capture hardware identifiers, network IP addresses, and diagnostic telemetry from your **Meta Quest** hardware. This hardware-level data is essential for maintaining system integrity and executing necessary moderation actions, such as enforcing a **Device ban** against hardware associated with users who violate our terms of service.
- **Gameplay Information:** We record your in-game activities, progression metrics, and interactions. If you choose to acquire additional virtual goods, we process information related to your **In-app purchases and/or downloadable content** to validate transactions and fulfill digital entitlements.
- **Analytics Information:** Through the integration of the **Meta XR SDK** and other internal tracking mechanisms, we continuously monitor performance anomalies, crash reports, and engagement metrics to iteratively optimize the software.
## How We Use Your Information
The data we gather is strictly utilized for the operational, administrative, and security requirements of the application.
- To authenticate your **User ID** and synchronize your cross-session progression seamlessly.
- To validate your **User age group** for the purpose of legally restricting access or tailoring features to appropriate demographics.
- To securely process, verify, and deliver all **In-app purchases and/or downloadable content** associated with your account.
- To enforce community guidelines by leveraging device metrics to issue a permanent or temporary **Device ban** against malicious actors or those compromising the game's integrity.
- To conduct technical debugging, analyze telemetry, and enhance the overall stability of the software.
## How We Share Your Information
We strictly limit the dissemination of your personal information to fundamental service providers and governing authorities as mandated by law.
- **Meta Platforms Inc.:** We securely transmit necessary authentication, social graph data, transaction validations, and analytics back to Meta to ensure ecosystem compatibility and utilize their native infrastructures.
- **PlayFab:** We utilize Microsoft's **PlayFab** backend services for secure database hosting, player authentication, and real-time live operations management. Your game state and transactional data are securely processed through their servers.
- **Analytics Providers:** Aggregated, non-personally identifiable telemetry may be shared with third-party analytical services to diagnose overarching network trends and hardware compatibility.
- **Legal and Safety Authorities:** We will disclose any requested records if strictly required by a court order, subpoena, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of our company, our users, or third parties.
We retain your personal information only for the duration necessary to fulfill the operational purposes outlined in this document or as required to comply with statutory legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Upon account deactivation or when the data is no longer functionally requisite, we implement commercially reasonable protocols to permanently purge or irreversibly anonymize your information.
## Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your legal jurisdiction, you are afforded specific statutory rights regarding your personal information, including the mandates set forth by the **GDPR** (General Data Protection Regulation) and the **CCPA** (California Consumer Privacy Act). You hold the right to request access, rectification, portability, and deletion of your personal records.
To exercise your right to erasure, please follow these standardized steps:
1. Send a formal email request to our designated privacy contact address.
2. Explicitly state "Data Deletion Request" in the subject line of your correspondence.
3. Include your exact in-game username, your **Meta Horizon** **User ID**, and proof of account ownership.
4. Await our confirmation of receipt; we are legally bound to execute the deletion process within thirty (30) days of verifying your identity.
Our application strictly adheres to the regulations established by **COPPA** (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act). We do not intentionally or unlawfully target, solicit, or collect personal data from minors under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. Our collection of your **User age group** during onboarding is specifically designed to prevent unauthorized access by minors. If you are a parent or guardian and suspect that your child has bypassed our age-gating protocols to submit personal information, please contact us immediately to request the prompt deletion of those records.
We implement robust, industry-standard cryptographic protocols and organizational safeguards to shield your data against unauthorized access, malicious breaches, alteration, or accidental destruction. While we continuously monitor our infrastructure for vulnerabilities, no digital transmission or electronic storage system is entirely infallible, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
## Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the unilateral right to amend, revise, or update this legal agreement at any time to reflect evolving technological architectures, shifting regulatory environments, or platform review requirements. Any material modifications will be communicated via in-app notifications or formal announcements on our digital storefront page. Continued usage of the application following the updated effective date constitutes your legally binding acceptance of the revised terms.
For any formal inquiries, legal concerns, or to exercise your statutory data rights regarding this privacy document, please communicate with our administrative team directly:
