Privacy Policy

§ 00

Our Core Commitment

§ 01

Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect any of the following:

• Name, email address, or any contact information
• Device identifiers, advertising IDs, or IP addresses
• Location data of any kind
• Gameplay analytics, session lengths, or behavioral data
• Purchase history or payment information
• Camera, microphone, contacts, or any device permissions
• Crash logs or diagnostic data sent to our servers

We have no backend infrastructure. No data leaves your device and reaches us.

§ 02

Apple Game Center

On iOS and macOS, Molecular Defense integrates with Apple Game Center to provide leaderboard features. When you use leaderboards:

• Your Game Center alias and score are submitted directly to Apple's servers — not ours
• Friends leaderboards display scores of your Game Center friends, as managed by Apple
• Global leaderboards show scores from all participating players worldwide
• We never see, store, or process your Apple ID or any Game Center credentials

Game Center data is governed entirely by Apple's Privacy Policy, available at apple.com/legal/privacy. You can manage or disable Game Center at any time in your device's Settings.

§ 03

Google Play Games

On Android, Molecular Defense integrates with Google Play Games Services to provide leaderboard features. When you use leaderboards:

• Your Play Games display name and score are submitted directly to Google's servers — not ours
• Friends leaderboards display scores of your Google Play friends, as managed by Google
• Global leaderboards show scores from all participating players worldwide
• We never see, store, or process your Google Account credentials

Google Play Games data is governed entirely by Google's Privacy Policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy. You can manage or disconnect Play Games at any time in your device settings or the Google Play Games app.

§ 04

Leaderboards

Molecular Defense offers two leaderboard modes:

• Friends Leaderboard: Shows scores only from players you are already friends with through Game Center or Google Play Games. Friend lists are controlled entirely by Apple and Google respectively.
• Global Leaderboard: Shows the highest scores from all players who have opted in to Game Center or Play Games leaderboards. Your display name and score become visible to other players when you appear on the global board.

To opt out of leaderboard participation, disable Game Center (iOS) or sign out of Google Play Games (Android) from within your device settings. These options are provided and controlled by Apple and Google, not by us.

§ 05

In-App Purchases

Any purchases made within Molecular Defense are processed entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. We do not receive, handle, or store your payment information. All billing inquiries should be directed to Apple or Google respectively.

§ 06

Children's Privacy

Molecular Defense is suitable for all ages. Because we collect no personal data whatsoever, the game complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar regulations. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction) — or from anyone else.

Leaderboard functionality provided by Apple and Google is subject to their own age-gating and parental-control mechanisms.

§ 07

Third-Party Services

Other than Apple Game Center and Google Play Games (described above), Molecular Defense does not integrate with any third-party SDKs, analytics tools, advertising networks, or social platforms. There are no trackers in the application.

§ 08

Data Security

Because we collect no data, there is nothing for us to secure on our end. Game progress and settings are stored locally on your device using standard platform mechanisms (iOS: NSUserDefaults / iCloud if you have iCloud sync enabled; Android: local storage). This data never leaves your device to our servers.

§ 09

Changes to This Policy

If we ever change our data practices, we will update this Privacy Policy and revise the "Last Updated" date above. We will also notify users through an in-app notice for any material changes. Continued use of the game after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
