1. Introduction
Welcome to Osakki: Ocean Runner ("we", "our", or "the Game"), created and provided by Ta Denkmal. We are fully dedicated to respecting and protecting the privacy of our players.
This Privacy Policy explains how our game handles player data in full compliance with Google Play Developer Program Policies, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
2. Information We Collect and Process
We only process minimal and non-sensitive gameplay data necessary to provide game features and the optional global leaderboard:
- Player Nickname: An optional screen name chosen by you (e.g. "OsakkiRunner") displayed on the leaderboard. No real identity or account is required.
- Game Progress & High Scores: Your highest distance and score, saved locally on your device via HTML5 LocalStorage, and synced to our online leaderboard if internet access is available.
- Country Selection: An optional country code selected to display a country flag next to your nickname on the global leaderboard.
- Game Settings: Your sound (SFX) and background music (BGM) toggle preferences, stored purely locally on your device.
- Return-to-Play Measurement: While online, the game records the days you play and the first and latest recorded play times under your anonymous player identifier. This helps us measure daily, weekly and monthly return rates. These records are available only to the administrator, are not shown on the public leaderboard, and are removed when the administrator deletes your player account.
3. Information We DO NOT Collect
To ensure your complete safety, Osakki: Ocean Runner does NOT collect, request, or store:
- No Personally Identifiable Information (no real names, email addresses, or phone numbers).
- No Device Contacts, Address Book, or Call Logs.
- No Camera, Microphone, or Audio recordings.
- No Precise Geographic Location (GPS).
- No Financial, Payment, or Billing Information (the game is 100% free with no in-app purchases).
- No Social Network Logins or Biometric Data.
4. Device Permissions
Osakki: Ocean Runner requires no sensitive device permissions. It only uses standard internet access (android.permission.INTERNET) solely to communicate with the online leaderboard and load flag icons. Vibration (android.permission.VIBRATE) may be utilized for subtle haptic feedback during collisions or turbo activation.
5. Third-Party Services
The game interacts with trusted, industry-standard third-party infrastructure:
- Google Firebase (Google LLC): Used for cloud hosting, player authentication, leaderboard synchronization and private return-to-play measurement. Governed by Google Privacy Policy.
- FlagCDN: A public Content Delivery Network utilized solely to deliver small PNG country flag icons for the leaderboard. No user data is transmitted to FlagCDN.
6. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K Compliance)
Osakki: Ocean Runner is a family-friendly arcade game suitable for players of all ages, including children under the age of 13.
- We do not knowingly solicit, collect, or store personal information from children under 13.
- We do not use behavioral tracking, targeted advertising, or profiling.
- If a parent or guardian believes their child has submitted any personal data (such as a nickname), please contact us immediately, and we will promptly delete it.
7. Data Retention & Deletion Rights
Scores and nicknames saved to the global leaderboard are kept to maintain the rankings. Players have the absolute right to request the deletion of their leaderboard record at any time:
- Local Data: You can clear your local high scores and settings anytime by clearing the app data/cache in your Android device settings or uninstalling the game.
- Online Leaderboard Deletion: Send a simple deletion request containing your player nickname to our contact email below. We will remove your leaderboard record within 48 hours.
8. Security of Your Data
We take reasonable administrative and technical precautions to secure player data. All communications between the game and our online services occur via secure encrypted HTTPS (SSL/TLS) connections.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect app updates or regulatory changes. Any modifications will be posted on this page with an updated Effective Date. Continued use of the game constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
