Introduction
Dark Tales is an offline mystery party game. Your privacy is simple to explain, because there is almost nothing to explain: we do not collect, store, or share any personal data.
This Privacy Policy describes how the Dark Tales app (the "App") handles information. By using the App, you agree to this policy.
What the App Stores on Your Device
The App saves a small amount of information only on your device, so it can remember your preferences and progress:
- Your favourite mysteries
- Which mysteries you have played
- Your settings (theme, language, sound, default sort)
This information never leaves your device. It is kept in the App's local storage and is permanently removed when you delete the App. We never see it, and it is not linked to your identity.
What We Do Not Do
- We do not collect or transmit any personal data.
- We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking of any kind.
- We do not require an account or sign-in.
- We do not ask for your name, email, contacts, location, camera, microphone, or photos.
- We do not share any data with third parties, because there is none to share.
Offline Play & Network Use
Dark Tales is built to work fully offline. Every mystery, image, and font is bundled inside the App, so you can play with no internet connection at all. The App makes no network requests to collect or share information about you.
There are only two limited, non-tracking exceptions, and neither transmits any personal data about you:
- App updates: the App may contact our app-hosting provider (Expo) to check whether a new version is available. This standard request does not include personal information.
- Source links: some real-world mysteries include a "source" link. If you choose to tap one, it opens that reference page (for example, Wikipedia) in your browser. We do not control those websites — see their own privacy policies.
When the App contacts a server, that server may process your device's IP address to complete the request, as is true of any internet connection. We do not receive, store, or use this information.
Children's Privacy
The App collects no data from anyone, including children. Please note that some mysteries are inspired by real crimes and historical deaths and may not be suitable for younger players.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Changes are effective as soon as they are posted.
