Privacy Policy

Thumb-of-War Studio ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Thumb-of-War mobile application (the "Game"). We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you play our Game. By downloading and using the Game, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information Collection and Use

Thumb-of-War is designed as a local multiplayer game. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII) from you.

Here is what we do and do not collect:

• Personal Data: We do not require account registration or logins. We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, physical address, or any other contact details.
• Gameplay Data: All gameplay progress, score counts, and customization unlocks (gold/gems and thumb skins) are stored locally on your device. We do not upload your scores or stats to a central database or remote servers.
• Device Information: We do not collect device identifiers (such as IMEI, UDID, or MAC addresses) that can identify you or your device.

2. Anonymous Usage Data & Crash Reports

To help us maintain and improve Thumb-of-War, we may use standard diagnostic and analytics tools provided by the operating system platforms (Apple App Store Connect and Google Play Console). These services collect aggregate, non-personal diagnostic information, including:

• App crash logs and frequency
• Anonymized performance statistics (e.g., loading times, rendering framerate)
• General, non-specific geographical data (e.g., country of origin)
• Device types and operating system versions

This diagnostic data is used solely to identify technical bugs and improve the overall gameplay performance. It cannot be linked back to individual users.

3. Device Permissions

The Game may request specific device capabilities to function properly, including:

• Vibration / Haptics: Used to provide tactile feedback during tap wrestling actions and critical blocks. You can disable this in your system settings.
• Local Storage: Used to save local high scores, level progression, and skin inventory directly on your device.

4. Third-Party Services

The Game is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. These platforms may collect transaction data or download statistics subject to their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies:

• Apple Privacy Policy
• Google Privacy Policy

5. Children's Privacy

Our Game does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. As such, Thumb-of-War is fully compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and general global data regulations (such as GDPR). If you are a parent or guardian and have concerns about your child's usage, please contact us at the address below.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
