Privacy Policy | KYMEA Studio

This Privacy Policy applies to all applications developed by KYMEA Studio, including Cross 5, CIRCA, TypeFast, Emilia, HoopIQ, Cap Côtier, TactIQ Eleven, 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.

Specific Policy for TactIQ Eleven

Offline Experience & Ad-Supported Model. TactIQ Eleven is a free-to-play tactical game supported by advertisements.

Ad-Supported Model & User Consent: The app utilizes the Google AdMob network to display banners and interstitial ads. To comply strictly with European privacy standards, we integrate the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) SDK to manage and record your consent preferences regarding personalized advertising.
No Cross-App Tracking (No ATT): TactIQ Eleven does not utilize Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework. We do not track your activity across other companies' apps or websites.
100% Standalone Operation: The game functions entirely offline. It does not synchronize data with Apple iCloud, does not utilize Game Center, and does not require account creation. Your tactical progress and draft history remain strictly local on your device.
No Direct Data Collection: KYMEA Studio does not collect, process, or store any personal data. The app is also exempt from proprietary encryption reporting as validated by Apple guidelines.

Specific Policy for RockFit

Privacy by Design & Zero Data Collection. RockFit is architected from the ground up to guarantee total privacy. Your fitness journey, body metrics, and training data belong exclusively to you.

1. No Account Required

You can use RockFit immediately without signing up. The app does not request, collect, or store your email address, name, phone number, or password.

2. 100% On-Device Storage

All user-generated information—including workout logs, personal records, body measurements, custom routines, and periodized programs—is saved exclusively on your local device storage using native Apple frameworks (SwiftData). KYMEA Studio does not operate external database servers and has zero access to your physical logs.

3. Private iCloud Synchronization (CloudKit)

Cross-device synchronization and data backups are processed exclusively through your personal, authenticated Apple iCloud account via Apple CloudKit. Your database is encrypted within your private iCloud container, and KYMEA Studio has neither the technical capability nor the keys to inspect or decrypt this data.

4. On-Device Artificial Intelligence

Algorithmic training generators and features (including Workout Oracle and Program Oracle) run entirely on-device using local machine processing. No workout metrics, training histories, or biometrics are ever transmitted to remote cloud servers or third-party AI APIs for processing.

5. Apple HealthKit Integration

RockFit offers optional read and write integration with Apple Health (HealthKit):

Explicit Control: Access to HealthKit categories is requested explicitly via standard iOS system prompts and can be enabled or revoked at any time in your device’s Health settings.
Purpose: Reading biometric metrics (such as weight or resting heart rate) allows on-device algorithmic calibration, while writing sessions allows RockFit to log your completed strength workouts to your Apple Health rings.
Strict Protection: In accordance with Apple Developer Guidelines, HealthKit data is processed strictly in-memory and on-device. We never export, transmit, disclose, or sell HealthKit data to advertising platforms, data brokers, or third-party analytics services.

6. In-App Purchases & Subscriptions (StoreKit)

Upgrading to RockFit Pro (Monthly, Annual, or Lifetime) is executed directly through Apple’s native StoreKit infrastructure. KYMEA Studio does not collect, receive, or handle your payment card information or billing addresses. We only receive an anonymized cryptographic receipt from Apple confirming active entitlement to unlock Pro features.
