Tidemark — Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-06-26

Tidemark is a self-contained puzzle game. It runs entirely on your device, contacts no servers, and handles no information about the people who play it. That is the whole story — but the sections below spell out what that means in practice.

How your progress is kept

When you play Tidemark, the game saves a small amount of data to your device: your current progress, any settings you have adjusted, best times or scores, and where you left off. This data lives only in the private storage partition Android reserves for the game itself. Nothing in that storage is readable by other apps, and nothing is transmitted anywhere. When you uninstall Tidemark, Android deletes that partition along with everything in it.

Outside services and third parties

There are none. Tidemark includes no analytics libraries, no crash-reporting tools, no advertising SDKs, and no third-party frameworks that receive any signal about your activity. No data — not even anonymous, aggregated, or technical data — flows to any outside party because no data leaves the device at all.

Network activity

Tidemark never makes a network request. Every feature works without a connection, and the game makes no background calls to any server run by the publisher or anyone else. No internet permission is required for normal play.

Device permissions

Tidemark does not ask for access to your location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos, or any storage outside its own sandbox. The game requests only what is necessary to function as a local, offline puzzle game, which means it requests nothing sensitive.

A word about younger players

Tidemark is appropriate for a general audience. Because the game collects no information from anyone, it collects none from children either. There are no accounts, no chat features, and no mechanism by which a child — or any player — could submit personal information to the publisher.

What privacy laws mean here

Regulations like the GDPR and CCPA give people rights over personal data held about them: the right to see it, correct it, delete it, or move it. Those rights have nothing to act on in this case. The publisher holds no data about any player. If you want to remove the data that exists — the local save data described above — uninstalling the game does that completely. No request to the publisher is needed or possible.

Keeping this policy current

This policy may be revised from time to time. When it is, the updated text will appear at the same URL with a new effective date at the top. Continued use of Tidemark after a revision means you have seen the updated terms. Because the game's data practices are, by design, minimal, any future changes are likely to be minor clarifications rather than substantive ones.

Reach out

Questions about this policy can be sent to haexgaube@gmail.com. The publisher will respond as promptly as possible, though questions about accessing or deleting personal data cannot be actioned further than pointing back to the uninstall option — there is simply nothing else to act on.
