Privacy Policy

Trueself Games ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our game.

Website Analytics and Consent

Optional website and playable-demo analytics are disabled until you explicitly accept them through our privacy banner. When accepted, we use first-party analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand website visits, demo entry points, scenes reached, completions, session duration, and general interaction patterns such as clicks and scrolling.

Analytics may use cookies or browser storage containing pseudonymous identifiers. You can reject analytics without losing access to the website or demo, and you can withdraw consent at any time through "Privacy choices" in the website footer.

Essential browser storage supports language choices, game saves, authentication, consent preferences, and site operation. It remains available when analytics is rejected.

1. Information We Collect

Anonymous Telemetry Data (Optional)

We collect anonymous usage data to improve the game experience. This telemetry is disabled until you accept analytics through the website privacy banner. We collect:

• Game events (chapter starts, choices made, completions)
• Device information (platform, screen size, language)
• Performance metrics (FPS, load times, errors)
• Session duration and frequency

⚠️ Important: This data is completely anonymous. We do NOT collect:

• ❌ Your name, email, or personal information
• ❌ Device identifiers (IMEI, advertising ID)
• ❌ Location data (GPS coordinates)
• ❌ Contact lists or photos

Save Data (Stored Locally)

Your game progress is stored locally on your device. We do not have access to your save data unless you explicitly send it to us (e.g., for bug reports).

Error Reports

When you submit a bug report, we collect error logs, device information, and your description of the issue. This is voluntary and only sent when you click "Send Bug Report".

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

• Improve game performance and user experience
• Identify and fix bugs
• Understand which features are most popular
• Optimize difficulty and game balance
• Analyze crash reports to improve stability

3. Data Sharing

We do NOT sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share anonymous, aggregated data for analytical purposes.

Third-party services used:

• Microsoft Clarity: Optional website interaction analytics, loaded only after analytics consent
• Google AdMob: For in-game advertising (see their privacy policy)
• App Stores: Apple App Store and Google Play (see their privacy policies)

4. Data Retention

Anonymous telemetry data is stored locally on your device and automatically deleted after 1000 events (oldest data removed first). We do not store this data on our servers.

Your website analytics consent choice is stored for up to 180 days. First-party demo analytics and Microsoft Clarity data follow their applicable retention settings and policies.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Withdraw website analytics consent: Use "Privacy choices" in the website footer at any time
• Opt-out of telemetry: Disable in Settings → Anonymous Telemetry

6. Children's Privacy

This game is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

7. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
