1. Scope
This Privacy Agreement applies to Yinyi, an iOS casual strategy-action game where players draw battle paths, complete levels, unlock heroes and skill routes, manage a local Gold balance, and optionally add selected images to Codex or showcase cards.
For privacy questions or requests, contact Yinyi-yb@163.com. This contact also acts as the privacy contact or data protection contact for regions that require one.
2. Quick Summary
3. Data We Handle
The categories below describe what the current version of Yinyi stores or may receive. Most game data stays only on your device unless you voluntarily send it to us, such as by email.
| Category | Examples | Source | Where It Is Stored |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gameplay progress | Highest unlocked level, selected level, completed levels, highest combo, unlocked heroes, unlocked skills, selected hero, selected skill route, selected trail effect. | Your gameplay actions inside Yinyi. | Locally on your device using iOS app storage. |
| Settings | Sound effects, music, vibration, trail brightness, and slow motion preferences. | Your in-app settings choices. | Locally on your device using iOS app storage. |
| Virtual item data | Gold balance and finished transaction identifiers used to prevent duplicate crediting. | Gameplay usage and Apple StoreKit purchase events. | Locally on your device using iOS app storage. |
| Optional selected images | Images you choose through Apple's photo picker for Codex or showcase cards. | Your optional photo picker selection. | Locally in the App's application support storage. |
| Support communications | Your email address, message content, screenshots, purchase details, or other information you choose to send. | You, when you contact us. | Email systems and support records needed to answer you. |
4. Why Data Is Used
Yinyi uses data for these purposes:
- to run core gameplay, including levels, path battles, hero selection, skill routes, combos, victory results, and unlock progress;
- to remember your local preferences, such as audio, vibration, trail brightness, and slow motion settings;
- to maintain local Gold balance and reduce duplicate crediting of completed StoreKit transactions;
- to let you add, display, replace, or remove optional selected images on your device;
- to answer support requests, troubleshoot purchase questions, comply with law, and protect rights or safety.
5. Data Not Collected by the Current Version
The current version of Yinyi does not intentionally collect or upload:
- real name, postal address, phone number, contacts, precise location, microphone data, camera data, health data, biometric identifiers, or government identifiers;
- advertising identifiers for targeted advertising;
- social graph data, chat messages, friend lists, or multiplayer communications;
- full photo library contents, because you choose a specific image through Apple's photo picker;
- payment card numbers or Apple ID credentials, because purchases are handled by Apple.
6. Optional Photo Selection
Yinyi may allow you to choose one image at a time through Apple's photo picker for Codex cards or showcase cards. The App stores the selected image locally and uses it only to show that card inside Yinyi.
You can remove selected images inside the App where removal controls are available, or delete the App to remove local app storage from your device. If you include a screenshot or image in an email to us, that copy is handled as support communication.
7. In-App Purchases and Apple
Yinyi may offer optional Gold purchases through Apple StoreKit. Apple processes payment information, purchase authorization, refunds, tax handling, parental approval, and App Store account information under Apple's own privacy and purchase rules.
Yinyi stores local purchase-related identifiers and Gold balance only as needed to provide purchased virtual Gold and reduce duplicate crediting. The current version does not operate a purchase server and does not ask you for payment card details.
9. Retention and Deletion
Local gameplay data, settings, Gold balance, transaction identifiers, and selected images stay on your device until you remove them through App features, reset or clear device data, or delete the App. Device backups may preserve local data depending on your iOS settings.
Support emails are kept only as long as reasonably needed for support, legal, security, accounting, or recordkeeping purposes. You may request deletion of support communications by contacting us, subject to legal or legitimate retention needs.
10. Security
Yinyi relies on iOS app sandboxing and local device storage protections for local game data. We take reasonable steps appropriate to the nature of the data we handle, but no app, device, storage system, or email system can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure.
Protect your device passcode, Apple ID, backups, and App Store purchase controls. Do not send passwords, payment card numbers, government identifiers, or other highly sensitive information by email.
11. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, know about, correct, delete, restrict, object to, withdraw consent for, or receive a copy of certain personal information. You may also have the right to complain to a privacy regulator.
Because Yinyi currently does not have accounts or a backend database, many requests can be completed directly on your device by deleting selected images, changing settings, clearing local data where iOS permits, or deleting the App. For support emails or any information you voluntarily sent to us, contact Yinyi-yb@163.com.
We may need to verify your request before acting on it. We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights required by applicable law.
