Privacy notice for the paper stage

What this notice covers

This text applies to the PaperTheater app distributed on the App Store and to the static web pages bundled with it: the game introduction and this privacy notice. It describes the product, not a personal blog or unrelated website.

For help, use the support channels linked from the App Store listing. Your Apple ID, the store checkout flow, Screen Time, and any backup you enable are governed by Apple’s own terms and privacy policy.

App Store privacy label

Apple’s privacy section for PaperTheater is categorized as “Data Not Collected.” The developer indicates that the app does not collect data from the app. This notice does not describe hidden analytics, advertising identifiers, or third-party tracking beyond that public label.

Apple notes that privacy practices can vary with features or age. If the live listing changes, treat the label on the product page as authoritative. This notice will be revised if the game’s practices no longer match what is written here.

Trust the store label first. This page does not claim a secret server log behind it.

Scene state stays local

To run a puzzle, the app must remember ordinary facts on your device: which act and level you reached, how each layer is positioned, dial-turn counts for star ratings, and lifetime counters such as Scenes Recreated, Perfect Arrangements, and Levels Cleared.

The store label does not present that information as data the developer collects from you. Removing PaperTheater deletes the app’s local storage with it. If you use iCloud Backup or similar Apple backup features, Apple may include app data according to your account settings—the listing does not describe a separate publisher cloud login for this title.

Dial taps and statistics

Gameplay is one tap per dial advance. There are no timers in the listing’s description, and progress is measured by how efficiently you match each target shadow. Those interactions update the local scene; they are not described as messages sent to a publisher backend.

The App Store lists the game as free. This notice does not describe in-app currency, a publisher wallet, or stored payment details inside PaperTheater. Any purchase or download prompt shown by Apple is Apple’s transaction layer.

Accounts, contacts, and sensors

You can open the miniature stage without registering a player profile. The listing does not require an email address, phone number, legal name, contact list, photo library, camera, microphone, or precise location to cycle layers and match shadows.

If a future version asks for optional permissions, the system dialog on your device will name them. Read that prompt before allowing access.

Distribution through Apple

PaperTheater is installed from the App Store. Updates, refunds, and regional availability follow Apple’s processes. The listing is in English, rated 4+, requires iOS 15 or later, is designed for iPad, and is about 101 MB. It also references iPhone, iPod touch, Mac with Apple silicon, and Apple Vision; the Mac line is marked not verified for macOS.

Information Apple already holds about your Apple ID is not duplicated into a publisher profile simply because you install this game.

Children and the 4+ rating

The store age rating is 4+. A parent or guardian decides whether to install the app. Apple’s Screen Time, Ask to Buy, and Family Sharing can restrict downloads when those controls are enabled.

Play does not begin with a sign-up form. If you believe a child submitted personal information to the publisher outside normal gameplay, contact support through the App Store listing and include only what is needed to identify the request.

These static pages

The introduction and this notice are plain HTML. They include no comment form, newsletter signup, analytics embed, or payment field. Typography uses fonts already on your device, so loading a page does not fetch typefaces from a third-party host.

The only outbound product link on both pages is the App Store listing for PaperTheater. There is no link to a personal homepage or unrelated social profile.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information. Because the store label states data is not collected from the app, the publisher may have no remote file to export. You may still submit a privacy request via the App Store support options. Do not attach identity documents in your first message unless a reply asks for narrower verification.

• Name the app (PaperTheater) and state that the message is about privacy.
• Describe the action you want taken.
• Keep unrelated personal details out of the opening note.

When this notice changes

The effective date at the top marks this wording. If a later build introduces collection—for example analytics, ads, or sign-in—the App Store privacy label should be updated to match, and this page will be rewritten accordingly.

Continued use after an updated notice is posted means you have had a chance to read the new version on this site or through the store listing’s policy link, whichever applies at that time.
