This Privacy Policy applies to all applications developed by KYMEA Studio, including Cross 5, CIRCA, TypeFast, Emilia, HoopIQ, Cap Côtier, and future releases.
General Policy
We believe in privacy by design. Unless stated otherwise in a specific section below:
- We do not collect personal data (PII).
- We do not sell data to third parties.
- Game progress and app settings are stored locally on your device.
Specific Policy for CIRCA
Freemium Model & Complete Privacy. CIRCA is designed to be a completely private experience, offering both free and premium features without compromising your data.
- No Personal Data Collected: We do not collect, store, or share any personal information, sleep patterns, or usage habits. The app does not require an internet connection to function.
- Free Access (The Essentials): The app is free to download, offering immediate access to the dawn and dusk simulator via the Liquid Dark engine, as well as two fundamental soundscapes (Birds and Soft Rain).
- In-App Purchases (CIRCA Premium): Full access to "The Collection" (including premium sounds like Campfire, Forest, Ocean Waves) is unlocked via a single, one-time In-App Purchase. We strictly exclude any hidden subscriptions or recurring billing.
- Legacy Users (Grandfathering): Users who acquired versions prior to the update (versions 1.0 and 1.0.1) receive automatic, lifetime access to Premium features, validated by checking their original installation receipt.
- Transaction Security: The entire purchase and restoration process is secured by Apple's native StoreKit API. The application only queries your anonymized receipt status to grant Premium access. We do not collect, process, or have access to any banking, personal, or financial information.
Specific Policy for TypeFast
Ad-Supported & Analytics. TypeFast is free-to-play and supported by advertisements.
- App Tracking Transparency (ATT): We respect your choice. If you allow tracking, we use identifiers to show personalized ads. If you decline, ads will still be shown but will be less relevant.
- Game Center: We use Apple Game Center to process your scores and leaderboards. Your gamer tag is visible to other players in rankings.
- Analytics: We collect anonymous gameplay data (e.g., level completion rates) to improve the game difficulty and balance.
Specific Policy for Emilia
No Personal Data Collected. Emilia is designed to respect your privacy while providing a premium retro gaming experience.
- No Tracking: We do not collect, store, or share any personal information, gameplay data, or usage habits.
- iCloud Sync: Game saves and checkpoints are synced automatically via your personal Apple iCloud account. We have no access to your save files or your cloud storage.
- In-App Purchases: Purchases such as the "Emilia PRO Pack" are processed securely through Apple's native App Store system. We do not have access to your payment information.
Specific Policy for HoopIQ
Ad-Supported, Tracking & Third-Party Advertising. HoopIQ is a free-to-play game supported by advertisements delivered through the Google AdMob network.
- Data Collection via Third-Party SDK: While KYMEA Studio does not directly collect or store personal data on any servers, the Google AdMob SDK integrated into the app collects specific information to serve personalized advertisements. This includes:
- Device Identifiers: Apple's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA).
- Location Data: Approximate location (inferred from your IP address).
- Usage & Advertising Data: Your interactions with the app and advertisements.
- App Tracking Transparency (ATT): We strictly adhere to Apple's guidelines. The collection of your IDFA for tracking and personalized advertising will only occur if you explicitly grant permission via the iOS App Tracking Transparency prompt upon launching the game.
- If You Decline Tracking: If you ask the app not to track, you will still receive advertisements, but they will not be personalized based on your activity across other companies' apps and websites.
- Third-Party Privacy Policy: For more detailed information on how Google processes this data, please refer to Google's Privacy & Terms.
Specific Policy for Cap Côtier
Freemium Model, Advertising & In-App Purchases. Cap Côtier is free to download, with optional in-app purchases and advertisements in the free version.
- Ad-Supported Free Version: If you use the free version, the app utilizes the Google AdMob network to display ads. To comply with privacy regulations, we use the User Messaging Platform (UMP) to gather your consent before displaying personalized ads.
- App Tracking Transparency (ATT): In conjunction with UMP, we request your permission via Apple's ATT framework. If you allow tracking, your Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) and approximate location will be used to show relevant ads. If you decline, you will still see ads, but they will not be personalized based on your activity.
- In-App Purchases: Users can purchase "Cap Côtier PRO" to unlock all modules and permanently remove advertisements. This transaction is processed entirely and securely by Apple's native App Store system. We do not collect, process, or have access to your payment information.
- No Superfluous Data Collection: We do not require account creation, and we do not collect or store any personal data beyond what is technically required by the advertising SDKs described above.
