Sonarfall (“the app”) is developed and published by Vortex Forge Studios. This policy explains what the app does and does not do with your information.
Sonarfall does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. The app has no user accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no network connectivity of any kind. It does not communicate with any server, including ours.
None. The app does not collect any personal or sensitive user data. Specifically, it does not collect or access:
Sonarfall saves a small amount of game progress locally on your device, using the operating system’s standard app-storage mechanism. This includes:
This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us. It is removed when you uninstall the app or clear its data.
Sonarfall requests three Android permissions:
android.permission.VIBRATE — haptic feedback during play.
Can be turned off in the app’s settings.android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS — local reminders about
the Daily Maze and your day streak. Can be turned off in the app’s settings.android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED — re-registers those same
local reminders after your phone restarts, so they are not silently lost. It is used for
nothing else and the app does not start or run in the background.The app does not request the internet permission.
Reminders are scheduled entirely on your device. Sonarfall does not use a push notification service, does not generate or transmit a device token, and does not contact any server to decide what to send or when. The reminders are composed on your phone from your own saved progress, and no information about you leaves the device in order to produce them. Declining the notification permission, or switching reminders off in the app, has no other effect on the game.
Sonarfall contains no data collection of any kind and is therefore compliant with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and comparable regulations. We do not knowingly or unknowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13.
Sonarfall integrates no third-party SDKs, advertising networks, analytics providers, or social features. No data is shared with anyone because no data is gathered.
If the app ever begins collecting data, this policy will be updated before that version is released, and the change will be described in the app’s release notes.
