Information You Provide • Apple Account Identifier (Unique ID) — Collected when you sign in with Apple for account creation, authentication, and data synchronization. • Nickname — Collected during onboarding and used as your display name within the App and its social features. B. Information Automatically Generated or Collected During Use • Friend Code — Automatically generated unique code used for adding friends. • Aquarium Customization Data — Information about placed items, fish, substrates, and other customization settings. • Inventory and Jelly Currency — Owned items and virtual currency balances. • App Usage Status — Water level, blocking status, focus statistics, and related usage information. • In-App Purchase Information — Purchased product identifiers, granted virtual currency records, and purchase timestamps. • Friend Relationships — Friend lists and friend request history. • Profile Image Index — The selected profile icon identifier.

The App cannot identify the actual app names. • Food Inventory — Stored locally on the device only. • Daily Remaining Time and Usage Records — Stored locally on the device.

Note: The App uses Apple's Screen Time APIs (FamilyControls and DeviceActivity). However, it does not collect, transmit, or store information about which specific apps a user has selected for blocking. Such information is handled locally using opaque tokens provided by Apple.

How We Use Your Information We use collected information solely for the following purposes:

  1. Account Management — User identification through Sign in with Apple and data restoration across devices.
  2. Core Service Functionality — Saving and synchronizing aquarium data, inventory, and virtual currency.
  3. Social Features — Managing friends and displaying friend aquarium information.
  4. Purchase Processing — Recording in-app purchases and granting virtual currency.
  5. Advertising — Displaying advertisements through Google AdMob.

Data Retention and Deletion • Retention Period: Personal information is retained until the user deletes their account. • Deletion Process: Upon account deletion, all user data stored in Firebase, including account information, aquarium data, friend relationships, and purchase records, will be deleted without undue delay. • Purchase Information: Purchase records processed through Apple may be retained by Apple in accordance with Apple's policies. • Local Device Data: Most locally stored data is removed when the App is deleted. However, due to operating system behavior, certain authentication information stored in the Keychain may remain on the device.

Sharing of Personal Information We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties except in the following circumstances:

  1. When the user has provided prior consent.
  2. When required by applicable laws, regulations, or lawful requests from government authorities.

Third-Party Services The App relies on the following third-party service providers:

• Google Firebase Authentication — User authentication and account management. • Google Cloud Firestore — Data storage and synchronization for aquarium data, inventory, friend relationships, and purchase records. • Google AdMob — Advertising services and advertising identifiers (IDFA, when permitted by the user). • Apple Screen Time APIs — App blocking functionality using locally processed tokens. • Apple In-App Purchase — Processing in-app purchases and transaction information.

Please refer to the privacy policies of these service providers for more information about their data handling practices.

  4. Account Deletion — Request deletion of your account and associated data.

Children's Privacy The App is not intended for children under the age of 14 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we become aware that personal information from a child under 14 has been collected, we will obtain parental consent where required or delete the information promptly.

Security Measures We take reasonable measures to protect personal information, including:

  1. Restricting access to user data through Firebase Security Rules.
  2. Using Sign in with Apple for secure authentication without storing passwords.
  3. Protecting data in transit through HTTPS (TLS) encryption.

Advertising and Tracking • The App displays advertisements through Google AdMob. • Advertising identifiers (IDFA) may be used for ad personalization and advertising performance measurement, only with the user's consent. • In accordance with Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework, tracking for advertising purposes occurs only after explicit user consent. • Users may withdraw tracking permission at any time through iOS Settings >Privacy &Security >Tracking.
