Your privacy is critically important to us. This policy explains how Bird Hunt ("we", "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our mobile application.

• High Scores: Your highest score is stored locally on your device using iOS UserDefaults. This data never leaves your device and is not synced to any cloud service.
• Game Preferences: Settings such as sound effects, haptics, and background music preferences are stored locally on your device only.
• App Store Analytics: Basic download and usage statistics provided by Apple (if enabled in your iOS settings)

What we do NOT collect:

• ❌ No photos or images
• ❌ No location data
• ❌ No device identifiers
• ❌ No advertising identifiers
• ❌ No usage analytics

3. How We Use Your Information

Bird Hunt uses the minimal data it collects solely for the following purposes:

• High Scores: Stored locally to display your best performance within the app
• Game Preferences: Used to remember your settings (sound, haptics) between app sessions
• Crash Reports: If enabled in your iOS settings, anonymous crash data helps us identify and fix technical issues

We do not use your data for advertising, analytics, or any other purpose. The game operates completely offline and does not connect to any external services.

4. Data Storage and Security

All data collected by Bird Hunt is stored locally on your device using iOS UserDefaults. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to any servers or cloud services.

What is Stored Locally

• High score (integer value)
• Sound effects preference (on/off)
• Haptics preference (on/off)
• Background music preference (on/off)

This data is stored using iOS's standard UserDefaults system, which is encrypted by iOS and accessible only to the app itself. The data is deleted if you uninstall the app.

5. Third-Party Services

Bird Hunt uses minimal third-party services:

• Apple's App Store: For app distribution and updates
• Apple's Crash Reporting: Only if enabled in your iOS settings, provides anonymous crash data to help improve app stability

No cloud services, no analytics, no advertising: Bird Hunt does not use any cloud storage, analytics services, or advertising networks. The game is completely self-contained and operates offline.

6. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Data Retention

Local game data (high scores and preferences) is stored on your device until you uninstall the app. When you delete Bird Hunt, all associated data is immediately removed.

Anonymous crash reports (if enabled) are retained according to Apple's policies and can be managed through your iOS settings.
