Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Tephra Sort (“the App”) handles information. Tephra Sort is an offline reaction arcade where you sort falling tephra fragments into classifier bunkers. The App is designed to work without collecting personal data beyond what your device stores locally for gameplay.
1. Overview
Tephra Sort does not use the network, accounts, push notifications, analytics, or third-party SDKs. It contains no in-app purchases or subscriptions. Progress stays on your device.
2. Information we do not collect
We do not collect, transmit, or sell:
- Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or account credentials
- Location data, contacts, photos, or microphone/camera content
- Advertising identifiers or tracking profiles
- Analytics, crash reports, or usage telemetry sent to external servers
- Payment or purchase information (the App has no real-money purchases)
3. Information stored on your device
To provide gameplay, the App may store locally on your device:
- Scores, streaks, Local Records, and run history
- Ash Token balance and Ash Shop unlocks (cosmetic trails, accents, arena themes)
- Daily Debris and Weekly Surge progress
- Achievement and Field Guide progress
- Settings such as sound, haptics, and display preferences
This information never leaves your device through the App. Uninstalling the App may delete this local data, subject to how your operating system manages app storage.
4. Ash Tokens and the Ash Shop
Ash Tokens are earned only through play and can be spent only on cosmetic items inside the local Ash Shop. Tokens are not real money, cannot be purchased, and are not transferred to any server or other user.
5. Internet access and third parties
The App does not require an internet connection to play and does not integrate advertising networks, analytics providers, social logins, cloud sync, or other third-party services. Because no personal data is sent by the App, it is not shared with third parties.
6. Children’s privacy
The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children or anyone else. Since gameplay data remains on-device and no accounts are created, there is no personal information for us to process under typical children’s privacy frameworks for online collection.
7. Data security
Local game data is protected by the security features of your device and operating system. We do not operate a backend that stores your Tephra Sort progress.
8. Changes to this policy
If this Privacy Policy changes, the updated version will be posted at https://volcanogate.online/privacy with a revised effective date. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy.
