Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Socyco Studios LLC ("Socyco Studios," "we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with our website at socyco.com and the games and apps we publish (collectively, the "Services"). We are an independent studio, and we aim to collect as little personal information as possible.
Information we collect
We may collect the following, depending on how you use our Services:
- Information you provide. If you email us (for example, at alex@socyco.com) we receive your email address and the contents of your message so we can respond.
- Information collected automatically. Our games and website may collect limited technical and usage information — such as device type, operating system version, general app interactions, and crash or diagnostic data — to keep the Services working, fix bugs, and improve them.
- Purchases. If you buy an app or make an in-app purchase, the transaction is handled by Apple. We do not receive or store your payment card details; we may receive confirmation that a purchase occurred.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain, and improve our games, apps, and website.
- To respond to your questions, feedback, and support requests.
- To diagnose technical issues, prevent abuse, and keep the Services secure.
- To comply with legal obligations.
How information is shared
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate the Services (for example, hosting, analytics, and crash-reporting providers), with Apple in connection with app distribution and purchases, and where required by law or to protect our rights.
Third-party services
Our Services rely on third parties, including the Apple App Store and our website host. These providers process information under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review Apple's privacy policy for information about purchases and account data handled by Apple.
Children's privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in a manner that is not permitted by applicable law. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
Data retention and security
We retain information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, and we use reasonable measures to protect the information we handle. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To make a request, contact us at alex@socyco.com and we will respond as required by applicable law.
International users
We are based in the United States, and information we handle may be processed in the United States or other countries that may have data-protection laws different from those in your country.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective date" above. Your continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised policy.
