Lone Toad Privacy Policy

Draft for review: Lone Toad is still in development. This policy is a working draft that must be completed to match the finished app—including its advertising, subscription, and analytics providers—before the app is submitted to the App Store. Sections marked “to be confirmed” depend on implementation decisions that have not been finalized.

Effective date: to be confirmed on release

About this policy

This policy describes how High Tech Horned Toad Software LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with Lone Toad, a logic puzzle game for iPhone and iPad (the “App”). Our website privacy policy covers our website.

Information the App may process

The specific information the App collects will be confirmed when development is complete. This section will describe, as applicable:

• Gameplay data such as puzzle progress, difficulty settings, and hint usage, including whether it stays on your device or is synced (to be confirmed).
• Purchase information related to the optional ad-free subscription. Payments are processed by Apple; we do not receive your full payment card details. We may receive confirmation of your subscription status from Apple (details to be confirmed).
• Advertising data processed by the advertising provider in the free, ad-supported version (provider and data types to be confirmed).
• Diagnostics and analytics, such as crash reports or usage statistics, if the App includes them (to be confirmed).

Advertising

The free version of the App is planned to show advertisements. Once the advertising provider is selected, this section will identify it, describe the information it collects (which may include device identifiers and approximate location), link to its privacy policy, and explain your choices.

Tracking and your consent

If the App or its partners would track you across apps and websites owned by other companies, Apple requires the App to ask your permission through the App Tracking Transparency prompt, and you can change this choice at any time in your device’s Settings. Whether the App will request tracking permission is to be confirmed.

Subscriptions

The optional ad-free subscription, when available, will be purchased and managed through the Apple App Store. You can view, change, or cancel subscriptions from your Apple Account settings on your device. Billing and refunds are handled by Apple.

Third-party services and SDKs

A list of third-party software development kits (SDKs) included in the App—such as those for advertising, analytics, or crash reporting—and links to their privacy policies will be provided here before release (to be confirmed).

Children’s privacy

The App’s intended audience and age rating are to be confirmed. If the App is directed to children, or if we have actual knowledge that a user is under 13, we will handle information in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and Apple’s App Store requirements for apps used by children, including restrictions on advertising and analytics.

Data retention and deletion

How long information is kept, and how you can request deletion, will be described here once data handling for the App is finalized (to be confirmed).

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, contact us using the details below.

Changes to this policy

We will update this policy as the App changes. The effective date above will show when it was last updated.
