1. Introduction & Overview
Mahjong Rogue Interactive ("we", "us", or "our") is dedicated to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy clarifies how personal information, gameplay telemetry, and device data are collected, processed, and safeguarded when you play Mahjong Rogue (the "Application").
We strictly abide by Apple's App Store Review Guidelines, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and applicable international privacy frameworks.
2. Information Collection & Local-First Philosophy
The Application is engineered with a privacy-by-design, local-first architecture. Core gameplay mechanics, game runs, deck state, relic unlocks, and achievement trophies are preserved locally in the sandbox storage of your iOS device.
- No Mandatory Accounts: You do not need to register, provide your email, or link social media profiles to access all primary game modes.
- Local Game Progress: Your chips, highest multiplier scores, unlocked encyclopedias, and settings are stored locally on your device via standard system persistence APIs.
- Diagnostic & Telemetry Information: For performance optimization and stability, anonymous technical telemetry (such as crash diagnostics, iOS version, device model, and frame rate stability) may be securely processed through standard operating system diagnostic channels.
3. Network Communication & Data Security
While the core campaign ranks and solitaire mahjong trials operate seamlessly on your device without an active connection, the Application may initiate encrypted HTTPS network requests for the following legitimate purposes:
- Fetching remote configuration parameters to balance tile drop rates, trial requirements, and seasonal events.
- Synchronizing game save states with Apple's secure iCloud framework (when iCloud Drive is activated by the user).
- Ensuring software integrity, anti-tampering verification, and routing player inquiries initiated through the in-app support interface.
4. Advertising & Tracking Transparency
Mahjong Rogue does not engage in cross-app or cross-site tracking as defined by Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework. We do not access the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) for behavioral tracking, and we do not profile users across external applications.
5. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K Compliance)
The Application provides clean tactical puzzle entertainment appropriate for all age groups. We do not knowingly solicit, collect, or process personal data from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Union). If you believe a minor has submitted personal data through our support ticketing portal, please contact us via our support center, and we will take immediate steps to expunge such records.
6. User Rights & Data Retention
Depending on your geographic jurisdiction, you have statutory rights concerning your data, including the right to request access, correction, or deletion of any technical telemetry linked to your diagnostic sessions. Because gameplay state is saved locally, you may completely delete all stored game data at any time by clearing local cache in the game settings or removing the Application from your device.
