PRIVACY POLICY

FacetLedger - Gemstone Cutting Game

Effective Date: June 3, 2026

Last Updated: June 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy governs the privacy terms of our application, FacetLedger - Gemstone Cutting Game (hereinafter referred to as the "Game" or "App"). The Game is built as a commercial, single-player economic strategy and simulation application available across multiple platforms, including mobile (Android, iOS) and desktop (Windows).

We are highly committed to protecting your privacy. This document outlines how we handle data within the App to ensure full transparency under global app developer policies (including Google Play, Apple App Store, and Microsoft Store) and applicable global data protection regulations.

1. 100% Offline Gameplay & Zero Personal Data Collection

FacetLedger is designed from the ground up to be fully playable offline. Because the Game operates locally on your device:

2. Use of Third-Party Services & Technical Identification

While the core gameplay is strictly offline and anonymous, the App integrates standard ecosystem and store platform services which may automatically process certain technical parameters required for their functionality depending on the platform you use:

A. Google Play Services & Google Mobile Ads (Android Platform Only)

The Android version utilizes Google Play Services to support underlying core platform logic. Google may process your device model, operating system version, and unique hardware identifiers solely to facilitate standard Android ecosystem services. Additionally, the Game may integrate Google AdMob to display non-intrusive advertisements on Android, which may collect and use the Advertising ID from your device to provide basic frequency capping, ad reporting, and to combat fraud or abuse.

B. Apple App Store Services (iOS Platform Only)

The iOS version operates within the standard Apple ecosystem. Apple may process basic device parameters, operating system version, and system identifiers to facilitate updates, installation verification, and core iOS system functionalities.

C. Microsoft Store Services (Windows Platform Only)

The Windows version utilizes Microsoft Store Services to support underlying platform logic, installation, and software updates. Microsoft may process basic device parameters, operating system version, and system identifiers to facilitate standard Windows ecosystem services, store analytics, and installation telemetry.

Note: No personal game-state data from FacetLedger is shared with any third-party advertisers or platform providers.

3. Children's Privacy (Under 13)

Our Game is an educational-style economic simulator intended for general gem cutting enthusiasts. We do not knowingly target or collect any information from children under the age of 13. Since the App does not collect any personal data from any user, it remains fully compliant with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) and GDPR regulations regarding minors.

4. Data Security & Local Saves

Since all of your game progression (including raw stone inventory, facet diagrams, and dynamically calculated earnings) is stored strictly on your local device storage (such as mobile internal storage or PC local drive), the security of your game data depends on your device security. Clearing the App's cache or data via system settings, or uninstalling the App, will permanently delete your local game progression.

5. Future Updates and Changes

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time as the Game ecosystem expands (for instance, to fund and connect with the professional inventory software at FacetLedger.com). Any changes will be reflected directly on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any adjustments.
