Tapuchino Privacy Policy

Updated at

Tapuchino: Idle Cafe Tycoon ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how your information is collected, used, and disclosed by Tapuchino: Idle Cafe Tycoon.

This Privacy Policy applies to our website and its associated subdomains (collectively, our "Service") alongside our application, Tapuchino: Idle Cafe Tycoon. By accessing or using our Service, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.

Tapuchino is a single-player game. It has no accounts, no login, no cloud save, no chat and no user-generated content, and your game progress is stored only on your own device. We do not ask for your name, address or phone number, and we never see your payment details. The data that does leave your device is handled by the third-party services listed below — advertising, purchase validation and anonymous analytics — and we do not sell personal information.

Definitions and key terms

To help explain things as clearly as possible in this Privacy Policy, every time any of these terms are referenced, they are strictly defined as:

Information we collect

Stored on your device only. Your game progress — cafe state, upgrades, Golden Bean balance, settings and similar — is saved locally on your device. We have no copy of it, no cloud backup and no way to read or restore it. It is deleted when you uninstall the app or clear its data.

We do not collect account or contact data in the app. The Game has no sign-up, login, password, profile, chat or user-generated content, and it does not ask for your name, postal address, phone number or email address. If you email us for support, we receive whatever you choose to put in that email and use it only to answer you.

Collected automatically by the third-party services in the app. When you play, the services listed below may automatically receive technical and usage information such as your IP address (from which approximate location may be derived), device model and operating system, language and country settings, app version, advertising or device identifiers, crash information, and events describing how the app is used (for example, that a level or purchase screen was opened). This information is used to serve and measure ads, to validate purchases, and to understand aggregate app usage and stability.

Collected automatically when you visit our website. As with any website, our hosting provider processes standard server request data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, for security, abuse prevention and to serve the site.

Third-party services we use

We use a small number of third-party services in the Game. Each acts under its own privacy policy, and each may process the technical identifiers described above:

You can limit ad personalisation and reset or delete your advertising identifier at any time in your device settings: on iOS via Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking and Apple Advertising, and on Android via Settings › Google › Ads. On iOS, personalised tracking additionally requires your explicit permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the Game asks for your consent to personalised advertising through Google's consent form (the "User Messaging Platform") the first time you open it. You can change or withdraw that choice at any time from Settings › Privacy options in the Game.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with third parties other than the service providers named above and as described in Sale of business and affiliates.

Purchases and payment details

All in-app purchases are processed by Apple or Google. We never receive, see or store your payment card, bank or billing details. We receive only a confirmation, via RevenueCat, that a purchase was validly completed, so the Game can deliver what you bought. Refunds and billing disputes are handled by Apple or Google under their policies — see our Terms of Use.

Notifications

The Game may ask permission to send you local reminder notifications (for example, that your cafe is waiting). These are scheduled on your device; we do not use them to send marketing and they do not require sending your data to us. You can turn them off at any time in your device's notification settings.

Website, cookies and local storage

Our website is a static informational site. It does not require a login and does not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking. It uses Vercel Web Analytics, a cookieless measurement tool that counts page views and referrers without building a profile of you or following you across other sites (see Vercel's privacy documentation). Your browser may store a small amount of data locally — for example a language preference — using local storage, which keeps data on your own device and is not sent in HTTP request headers. Most browsers let you block or clear cookies and local storage from their settings; doing so may reset such preferences but will not otherwise prevent you from using the site.

The Game itself does not use browser cookies. It stores your progress and settings locally on your device, as described above.

Kids' privacy

Tapuchino is a general-audience game. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. The Game's official age rating is the one shown on its App Store and Google Play listings.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with Personal Data — for example by emailing us — please contact us and we will delete it. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verified parental consent, we take steps to delete that information.

Parents and guardians control purchases and ads on the device: purchase confirmation and restrictions can be enabled with iOS Screen Time or Google Play parental controls, and ad personalisation can be limited in the device settings described above.

Data retention

Game progress stays on your device until you delete the app or its data — we hold no copy and therefore have nothing to return or erase. Support emails are kept only as long as needed to handle your request and our records of it. Data held by the third-party services above is retained under their own retention policies.

Information about General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the GDPR (and the UK GDPR) gives you rights over your personal data, and this section explains how they apply here.

GDPR is an EU-wide privacy and data protection law that regulates how EU residents' data is protected by companies and enhances the control EU residents have over their personal data. It is relevant to any globally operating company, not just EU-based businesses, which is why we apply its standards to all our operations.

What is personal data?

Any data that relates to an identifiable or identified individual. GDPR covers a broad spectrum of information that could be used on its own, or in combination with other pieces of information, to identify a person. Personal data extends beyond a person's name or email address; examples include financial information, IP addresses, device identifiers, physical address and similar data.

The Data Protection Principles include requirements such as:

Your rights and how to exercise them

You have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of the personal data we hold about you, to object to processing, and to data portability, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Because Tapuchino has no accounts and your progress never leaves your device, in most cases we hold no personal data about you to access, export or delete — deleting the app deletes it. Where a request concerns data processed by the third-party services listed above, we will tell you which service is involved and, where we can, pass the request on. To make a request, email us at happy.toothapp@gmail.com; we respond within one month.

Our legal bases for processing are: your consent (for personalised advertising and, on iOS, tracking), the performance of a contract (delivering purchases you make), and our legitimate interests (keeping the app secure, stable and improving it through aggregate analytics).

California Residents (CCPA)

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requires us to disclose the categories of Personal Information we collect and how we use it, the categories of sources from which we collect it, and the third parties with whom we share it, which we have explained above.

California residents may exercise the following rights:

If you make a request, we have one month to respond. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)

CalOPPA requires us to disclose the categories of Personal Information we collect and how we use it, the categories of sources from which we collect it, and the third parties with whom we share it, which we have explained above. It also requires us to state how we respond to Do Not Track signals: our website does not track visitors across sites and therefore does not respond differently to Do Not Track signals. The rights described in the CCPA section above apply.

This Privacy Policy applies only to the Service. The Service may contain links to other websites not operated or controlled by us, including websites reached through advertisements. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy or opinions expressed on such websites, and they are not investigated, monitored or checked for accuracy or completeness by us. When you follow a link away from the Service, this Privacy Policy no longer applies; your browsing and interaction on any other website is subject to that website's own rules and policies, and such third parties may use their own cookies or other methods to collect information about you.

Sale of Business and Affiliates

We reserve the right to transfer information to a third party in the event of a sale, merger or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of HappyTooth or any of its Corporate Affiliates, or that portion to which the Service relates, or in the event that we discontinue our business or a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding is filed by or against us, provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

We may disclose information about you to our Corporate Affiliates. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, "Corporate Affiliate" means any person or entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with HappyTooth, whether by ownership or otherwise. Any information relating to you that we provide to our Corporate Affiliates will be treated by them in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of Poland without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. You consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of Poland in connection with any action or dispute arising between the parties under or in connection with this Privacy Policy. Your use of the app may also be subject to other local, state, national, or international laws, and nothing here removes any right you have to bring proceedings in, or to the protection of the mandatory law of, your country of residence.

By using Tapuchino: Idle Cafe Tycoon or contacting us directly, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, you should not engage with our website or use our services.

By using our app or making a purchase, you consent to this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. Where consent is the legal basis for processing — such as personalised advertising, or tracking on iOS — you can withdraw it at any time through your device settings, as described above.

Changes To Our Privacy Policy

We may change our Service and policies, and we may need to make changes to this Privacy Policy so that it accurately reflects our Service and policies. Unless otherwise required by law, we will notify you (for example, through our Service) before we make changes to this Privacy Policy and give you an opportunity to review them before they go into effect. The "Updated at" date at the top of this page always shows the current version. If you continue to use the Service after the changes take effect, you will be bound by the updated Privacy Policy. If you do not want to agree to this or any updated Privacy Policy, stop using the Service and uninstall the app.
