PRIVACY POLICY FOR POND LIFE

URUSHIN (Also known as PRECTORIAN SOLO PRODUCTION / KOUKI / DOCODEMO) ("the Developer", “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Pond Life mobile application (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy applies strictly to the Premium (Ad-Free) version of the Service.

1. Our Core Philosophy on Data

We operate on a "Privacy by Default" model. We do not proactively seek, harvest, or monetize your personal information. Our Service is a premium, one-time purchase designed for entertainment, not data collection.

2. Information Visible via Service Providers (Merchant Data)

While we do not maintain an independent database of our users, the Service is distributed exclusively through the Google Play Store.

• Transaction Transparency: As a developer on the Google Play Store, we have access to "Merchant Data" provided by Google for the purpose of transaction management, tax compliance, and customer support. This may include your email address and basic purchase details (e.g., date of purchase and order ID).

• Use of Data: We do not export, sell, or use this information for marketing. We treat this data as strictly confidential and only access it when necessary to verify a purchase or respond to a support request initiated by you.

• Payments: We do not see, store, or process your credit card details or specific payment methods. All financial transactions are handled securely by Google.

3. Technical Permissions & Development Kits (SDKs)

The Service is developed using the GameMaker Studio (GMS) Integrated Development Environment (IDE) by Yoyogames.

• Inherited Permissions: The compiled application may include standard "permission requests" (such as Network State or Storage Access) required by the engine's architecture or internal Software Development Kits (SDKs) to maintain core game stability and OS compatibility.

• Non-Active Usage: Users may encounter system-level requests for permissions that are not actively utilized by our specific game logic. We do not use these technical gateways to access your personal files, contacts, or private data. These remain inactive within our proprietary code.

4. Automated Technical Data

To ensure the Service functions correctly across various Android devices, certain non-identifiable data may be processed:

• Usage Data & Crash Reports: Technical logs generated during an error or crash. These help us identify bugs within the GMS runtime or specific hardware incompatibilities.

• License Authenticity: Data used to confirm the Service was legally acquired through the official Service Provider.

5. Data Disclosure (Legal Requirements)

We may disclose information only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

• Comply with legal obligations.

• Protect and defend the rights or property of the Developer.

• Protect against legal liability.

6. Limitation of Liability & Security

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect any data we interact with, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

• Platform Dependency: We are not responsible for data breaches resulting from the Service Provider's (Google) infrastructure or your device's security vulnerabilities.

• Unauthorized Sources: If you acquired this Service from a source other than the Google Play Store (e.g., third-party APK sites), we are not responsible for any privacy or security breaches.

7. Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 18. If a parent becomes aware that a child has provided us with personal data via support channels, please contact us for immediate removal. We have no control over personal information shared by users in the public review sections of the Google Play Store.

8. Content & Monetization Assurance

• No Ads: This Premium version contains no third-party advertisements.

• No Micro-transactions: The Service contains no loot boxes, "pay-to-win" mechanics, or gambling-related content.

• Sensitivity: We aim to provide content appropriate for all audiences, avoiding references to religion, ethnicity, or race that may be deemed offensive.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes are effective immediately upon being posted on this page.
