1. Information We Collect

When you play PHDVR, we may collect the following types of information:

Microphone Data: The game may record audio from your microphone to enhance the gameplay experience, including using voice input or detecting sounds in your environment as part of the game mechanics. This data is used solely for the purpose of enhancing the horror experience and is not shared with third parties, except as described below.
Device Information: We collect information about the device you use to play the game, including device type, operating system, and game settings.
Usage Data: We may collect non-personal information about how you interact with the game, including game progress, session duration, and features used.
In-App Analytics: We may use third-party services to monitor and analyze the usage of the game (e.g., how often the microphone is used or triggered during gameplay).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

To enhance your gameplay experience, particularly by utilizing microphone input or environmental sounds to trigger in-game events or features.
To improve the functionality of the game, including error reporting and troubleshooting.
To analyze usage patterns, which helps us optimize the gameplay experience and game features.
To comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, or protect our rights.

3. Microphone Data and Recording

Temporary Recording: The microphone is used during gameplay to detect sounds or capture voice input. Any data recorded through the microphone is temporary and is used solely within the context of the game.
Data Retention: We do not store microphone recordings beyond the scope of the current gameplay session. Once the session ends, the microphone data is discarded, unless specified otherwise in the settings or functionality of the game.
Opt-Out: If you do not wish to have your microphone accessed by the Game, you may disable microphone access in the settings of your device. However, this may affect your ability to fully experience certain features of the game.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share your microphone data with third parties, except in the following cases:

With service providers: We may share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist with technical operations (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics, etc.). These service providers are only permitted to access the data necessary for their tasks and are required to maintain confidentiality.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to legal requests (e.g., a subpoena, court order).
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.

6. Your Choices

Microphone Permissions: You can control access to your microphone through your device settings. If you wish to disable microphone access, please refer to the settings of your device or platform to make these changes.
Data Deletion: As we do not store microphone recordings beyond your gameplay session, there is no ongoing retention of audio data once you have finished playing.
