Privacy Policy for Pass the Pen

Last Updated: February 8, 2025

Thank you for choosing to use Pass the Pen ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile application (the "App"). We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your information. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect any personal data that can be used to identify you, such as your name, email address, or other personally identifiable information. The app is designed so that your identity remains anonymous during gameplay.

2. Information We Collect and Store

During gameplay, players input text to create a story—each participant writes a sentence that is passed along to the next player. Pass the Pen stores this game content (the sentences) to form past stories that can be viewed within the app. This stored content is used solely to enhance the gameplay experience by preserving the history of stories and is not linked to any personal identifiers.

By using Pass the Pen, you acknowledge and consent to the storage and display of the text you create as part of the game.

3. Third-Party Services

We do not use any third-party services that collect or process your personal data. The App operates independently, and no external tracking, analytics, or advertising tools are employed that gather personal information about your usage.

4. Children's Privacy

Our App is not directed toward children under the age of 13. Since we do not collect personal data and only store the text entries created during gameplay, we do not knowingly collect information from children. If it is brought to our attention that a child under 13 has inadvertently provided personal information, we will take steps to remove such information promptly.

5. Data Retention

Game content—the text you enter during gameplay—is stored as part of the App’s functionality to create and display past stories. This content is retained for as long as it remains part of the game history within the app. We do not associate this content with any personal identifiers or use it for purposes beyond enhancing your gameplay experience.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If any material changes are made, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
