The Forsaken – Privacy Policy
The Forsaken is a single-player text adventure for iPhone and iPad. This policy explains what information the game uses. The short version: we don't ask for an account, a name or an email address, and your game stays on your device.
What is stored on your device
Your saved game, journal, inventory, settings (such as text size and sound) and the record of what you have purchased are stored locally on your device. We do not receive a copy. If you delete the app, this data is deleted with it, except where Apple's own backup and iCloud features keep a copy under your Apple settings.
What we collect
This version of the game does not send any gameplay or usage data to us or to any third party, and it contains no advertising and no third-party tracking.
The game includes a setting called Share anonymous usage data (Menu → Settings → Privacy). If a future version sends usage data, it will be limited to anonymous events such as which room or puzzle was reached, whether a hint was used, and which ending was found. These events would never include anything you type, your name, your email, your location or any device identifier, and they could not be linked to you. You can switch the setting off at any time and the game plays exactly the same.
Purchases
The Forsaken offers optional in-app purchases (the full game and hint tokens). Purchases are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see or store your payment details. To restore a purchase on a new device the game asks the App Store which purchases are linked to your Apple ID. The game uses Unity's in-app purchasing library to talk to the App Store.
Information we do not collect
- No account, name, email address or phone number.
- No location, contacts, photos, microphone or camera access.
- No advertising identifier, and no tracking across other companies' apps or websites.
Children
The game does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. Purchases require the Apple ID holder's approval under Apple's own controls, such as Ask to Buy.
Third parties
The game is built with the Unity engine and runs entirely on your device. Apple handles purchases and any backups you have enabled. Apple's own privacy policy applies to those services. We do not sell or share personal information, because we do not collect it.
Your choices
You can delete your saved game from within the app, turn off anonymous usage sharing in Settings, or delete the app to remove its local data. Because we hold no personal information about you, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete on our servers.
Changes to this policy
If the game's data practices change, for example if usage reporting is switched on in a later version, this page will be updated and the date above will change before that version is released.
