PULSE DEFENSE Privacy Policy

1. Scope and device storage

This policy applies to the Android app PULSE DEFENSE (com.taechora.pulse). The current version is an offline game without sign-in, ads, a separate analytics SDK, online leaderboards or cloud saves. Purchases in the in-app shop use Google Play billing (section 3). Separately, the Google Play Billing Library may send diagnostics about billing operations and client connection and shutdown to Google. A diagnostic record may be created when the app opens or closes even if you do not buy anything (section 2).

The app stores permanent upgrades and coins, stage and endless records, achievements, core skins, the list of songs you have heard, the combat state of your current run (enemies, weapons, cards, health and so on), music and sound effect on/off and volume, haptics, screen shake and graphics settings, the help tips you have seen, and your language setting on your device. This information supports continuation, records and your preferences.

Upgrade data, the current run, settings and help tips use Android app-internal storage. The language setting uses the app’s local storage. Game progress and records are not sent to our servers or synchronized with other devices.

2. App collection, sharing and permissions

We do not collect app usage data and do not share it with third parties. It does not request advertising identifiers, location, contacts, photos or microphone information. It includes no advertising or analytics SDKs. In-app purchases use the Google Play Billing Library (section 3).

The Google Play Billing Library (provided by Google) may send information directly to Google to diagnose billing operations and client connection and shutdown. Diagnostic records may be created when the shop loads prices, when purchases are made or checked, when the app checks your purchases as it opens or returns to the foreground, and when the app closes. This processing may occur whether or not you make a purchase. Records may wait on the device and be transmitted when a network is available. This includes the type and result of each billing request (response code, a short error description, time taken), the app’s package name and version, the billing library version, the device manufacturer, model, Android version, build information and memory size, language and country settings and time zone, network type, and mobile carrier code. It is sent over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), and we do not receive or see it. Google processes it under its own privacy policy.

The Android package has an internet permission for its runtime framework and Google Play, a vibration permission for haptic feedback, the Google Play billing permission for in-app purchases and a network-state permission used by the billing library. You can turn haptics off in the game settings. The game, music and fonts are bundled for offline use, and the app has no feature that automatically sends play records or device information to our servers.

3. In-app purchases (Google Play billing)

The in-app shop sells the Supporter Pack and the Skin Pack (bought once, kept for good) and coin packs (each purchase adds coins). The whole game can be played without buying anything. Google Play processes payments and refunds; the app never receives or stores card numbers or other payment details.

To confirm a purchase, the app checks the product ID, purchase token, purchase state and signature provided by Google Play on your device only, and keeps the confirmed purchase information for the Supporter Pack and Skin Pack in Android app-internal storage. This information is not sent to our servers. On the same Google account, Restore purchases brings the Supporter Pack and Skin Pack back.

Coins from coin packs are added to the game save on this device, together with part of the purchase token so that the same purchase is never paid out twice. Coins cannot be recovered after you uninstall the app or clear its data. For payment or refund questions, contact Google Play or taechora2016@gmail.com.

4. Retention and deletion

Local information remains on your device. If you deploy again while a run is saved, the saved run ends and you receive that run’s coins. Permanent upgrades and records are kept when you start a new run. Clearing app data in Android settings or uninstalling the app may remove some or all local information.

After an unexpected shutdown, restoration is limited to the last saved checkpoint. Cloud recovery after uninstalling, changing devices or deleting local data is not available. We cannot access, delete or restore the game data stored on your device.

Diagnostics that the Google Play Billing Library sends to Google are retained under Google’s policies; we cannot view or delete them.

5. Email support

You can contact taechora2016@gmail.com. If you send an email using an external email app or service, we use your email address, message and attachments to respond, troubleshoot and handle rights requests. The app does not send this information automatically. Please do not include unnecessary sensitive information.

Support emails are retained while needed to respond and resolve issues, and deleted when retention is no longer necessary, unless applicable law requires retention. You may request deletion of your correspondence at the same address. Google processes email delivery and storage as the email provider under its own privacy policy.

6. Google Play and separate web services

Google independently processes store information associated with app installation, updates, store accounts, in-app purchase payments, refunds and payment methods, and billing library diagnostics under its own policies. This policy does not replace the policies governing Google Play or your email service. Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

The TAECHORA website and other apps have separate features and privacy policies. Web accounts, online leaderboards and web analytics are not linked to the saved records of this offline app. Records from PULSE DEFENSE played on the website are not linked to this app either.

7. Security and policy changes

App records use the device’s app storage and are not automatically transmitted to us. We do not guarantee the security of the device itself or recovery of data that you delete.

If ads, accounts, analytics or online features change our data practices, we will update this policy and required declarations. The current policy is available inside the app and on its public policy page.
