Privacy Policy
1. Summary
- No account creation, sign‑in, or sign‑in with Google/Facebook/Apple.
- No advertising networks, no analytics, no third‑party trackers.
- No location, contacts, camera, or microphone access.
- No data is sold or shared with third parties for marketing.
- The only outgoing data transfer happens if you choose to submit a Bug Report.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
CheeseChase does not ask you to register, log in, or provide any personal identifying information (name, email, phone number, address, payment details) to play the game. We do not integrate any Google Play Games Services, social login, or third‑party identity provider at this time. If this changes in a future update, this policy will be updated before that feature is released.
3. Information Stored Only On Your Device
The game saves a small set of preferences locally on your device (using browser localStorage, or the equivalent local storage on desktop/Android builds). This data never leaves your device and is not visible to us:
| Key | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Language preference | Remembers the display language you selected. |
| Game settings | Remembers gameplay/UI options you configured (e.g. sound, display preferences). |
| Keyboard hints toggle | Remembers whether on‑screen keyboard‑shortcut hints are shown. |
You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's site data (or, on desktop/Android builds, by uninstalling/reinstalling the app or clearing its app data).
4. The Bug Report Feature
CheeseChase includes an optional tool to help us fix problems during development. You can open it by tapping/clicking the Report Bug button, from the "Stuck?" prompt, or — on the desktop/browser versions — by pressing the B keyboard shortcut. Opening this window does not send anything — data is only transmitted if you press the Send to Discord button.
What is captured when you send a report
- A screenshot of the current game screen, captured locally on your device at the moment you opened the report window.
- A snapshot of the current game state — technical details such as: whether a game is in progress, the current player's in‑game display name and board position, the last dice roll, the active event/chaos card, the current tile type, number of players, selected language, the page URL, and a timestamp. This is gameplay debugging data, not account data — the "player name" is simply the nickname you typed in for that session and is not linked to any identity, email, or device ID.
- An optional text comment you may type describing the issue. Leave it blank if you prefer.
Where it goes
When you press "Send to Discord," this information (screenshot, game‑state snapshot, and your optional comment) is sent directly from your device to a private Discord channel used by the developer for bug tracking, via a Discord webhook. We use it solely to diagnose and fix issues during development. Once the data reaches Discord's servers, it is also subject to Discord's own Privacy Policy.
5. Third‑Party Services
Aside from the Discord webhook used only when you submit a Bug Report (Section 4), CheeseChase does not integrate any third‑party advertising, analytics, crash‑reporting, or data‑broker SDKs. We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes.
6. Children's Privacy
CheeseChase is a general‑audience board game and is not directed at collecting personal information from children. Because the game does not collect personal information during normal play, and the Bug Report feature is an optional developer tool, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the app. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the Bug Report comment field, contact us using the details below and we will remove it.
7. Data Retention & Security
Local preferences (Section 3) remain on your device until you clear them or uninstall the app. Bug reports (Section 4) are retained in the developer's private Discord channel only as long as needed to investigate and fix the reported issue. We take reasonable measures to keep the Discord workspace used for bug reports restricted to the development team.
8. Changes to This Policy
As CheeseChase evolves (for example, if we add accounts, cloud saves, or online multiplayer services in the future), we will update this page, bump the version number, and revise the "Effective date" above. Significant changes affecting how your data is handled will be summarized in the revision history below.
| Version | Date | Changes |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0 | August 3, 2026 | Initial publication. |
