Privacy Policy - Magnet Mayhem (Action Physics & Magnetic Polarity Game)

1. Introduction

Welcome to Magnet Mayhem, a dynamic magnetic physics and polarity action game designed for Android devices, developed by Suraj Sahani ("Developer", "we", "our", or "us").

We respect your privacy and are deeply committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy details our practices concerning information collection, usage, and protection when you download, install, and enjoy Magnet Mayhem from the Google Play Store.

Core Privacy Principle: Magnet Mayhem is developed under a strict privacy-by-design philosophy. We do NOT collect, harvest, store, sell, or transmit any Personally Identifiable Information (PII), accounts, contacts, device locations, personal media, or browsing history to any remote servers.

2. Information Collection and Device Hardware Usage

Magnet Mayhem operates entirely on your local device. The game interacts with minimal hardware capabilities strictly to power its physics simulation and tactile feedback:

🧲 Sensors & Motion Physics (Accelerometer / Gyroscope)

If you choose to use motion or tilt controls to navigate magnetic forces, sensor data (accelerometer and tilt angles) is processed ephemerally in real-time memory strictly to calculate physical trajectory and polarity forces. Motion readings are never recorded, saved, or transmitted outside your device.

📳 Haptic Feedback & Vibration

The game utilizes the device vibrator hardware to deliver tactile feedback during magnetic collisions, polarity reversals, and power-up activations. This is purely an on-device sensory enhancement.

💾 Local Sandbox Storage (SharedPreferences / App Data)

All gameplay data—including high scores, unlocked magnetic skins, completed challenge levels, custom control sensitivities, and sound volume preferences—is stored strictly within the app's sandboxed local storage on your device. This data never leaves your device.

🔊 Audio Playback

Sound effects and background music are synthesized or played back natively on your device. Magnet Mayhem does not request or access microphone or audio recording capabilities.

3. Third-Party Services and Analytics

Magnet Mayhem does not include third-party tracking libraries, advertising SDKs, behavioural trackers, or invasive telemetry tools. We do not monetize through user data profiling or selling ad impressions.

The application is distributed through the Google Play Store. Google Play may automatically provide standard, anonymized diagnostic reports (e.g., aggregate crash logs or ANR metrics) through the Google Play Console to help us fix bugs and ensure stability across different Android OS versions.

4. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA & GDPR-K)

Magnet Mayhem is an all-ages, family-friendly physics puzzle and action game. Because the application does not collect, request, or store any personal information, usernames, emails, or biometric data, it is fully compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR-K) in the European Union.

5. Data Security and Offline Operation

Because all gameplay configuration and progress are kept exclusively inside Android's protected application sandbox, your data is safeguarded by the Android operating system's built-in application isolation mechanisms. Furthermore, Magnet Mayhem is designed to be fully playable offline without requiring an active internet connection.

6. User Control & Data Deletion Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Because we do not store your data on external servers or maintain user accounts, you have complete and instantaneous control over your data right from your device:

Resetting Game Progress: You can reset all game progress and preferences at any time by navigating to your device's Settings → Apps → Magnet Mayhem → Storage & Cache → Clear Storage.
Complete Deletion: Uninstalling Magnet Mayhem from your device permanently removes all locally stored game files and data.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect future game features or regulatory requirements. Any updates will be posted directly to this URL with a revised "Effective Date" at the top of this document.
