ZERO CONTACT

Last updated: May 9, 2026

1. Introduction

ZERO CONTACT ("we", "our", or "us") is a mobile game developed by Michele Iacubino. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our game.

2. Information We Collect

ZERO CONTACT is designed as a primarily offline game. We do NOT collect, store, or transmit any personal information from your device.

Specifically:

• We do NOT collect personal identification information
• We do NOT collect location data
• We do NOT collect personal device identifiers
• We do NOT use analytics or tracking services
• We do NOT use advertising SDKs

Push Notifications: Our push notification service (OneSignal) automatically generates an anonymous, randomly assigned identifier (Player ID) to deliver notifications to your device. This ID is not linked to any personal information and cannot be used to identify you. OneSignal also detects your device language to display notifications in the correct language.

3. Local Data Storage

The game stores the following data locally on your device only:

• Game progress (completed levels, scores, ratings)
• User preferences (theme, language, audio settings, vibration)
• Avatar (2 initials and a color, chosen by the user)
• Unlocked uniforms and abilities
• Friend leaderboard entries (pasted manually by the user from shared codes)
• Ghost replay data (stored in IndexedDB)

This data is stored using your device's local storage (localStorage and IndexedDB) and is never transmitted to any external server.

This data can be deleted by:

• Using the in-game "Reset Progress" feature (Settings menu)
• Uninstalling the game
• Clearing the app's data in your device settings

4. Sharing Features

The game allows users to manually generate and share text-based codes containing their game score, rank, and avatar initials. This sharing is entirely user-initiated (via the device's share dialog or clipboard) and does not involve any server or automatic transmission.

5. Network Access

ZERO CONTACT is primarily an offline game. The app may use network access only for the following optional features:

• Push Notifications (OneSignal): delivers optional notifications about game updates. Communicates with OneSignal and Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) servers to register your device and deliver messages. No personal data is transmitted.
• Google Play In-App Review: allows users to rate the app without leaving it
• Play Store links: opens the Google Play Store page in an external browser

No personal user data is transmitted during these operations. The game itself works entirely offline without any internet connection.

6. Third-Party Services

ZERO CONTACT integrates the following third-party services:

• OneSignal: Used to deliver push notifications. OneSignal generates an anonymous Player ID for your device and detects the device language. No personal data is collected or shared. You can opt out of notifications at any time from your device settings. OneSignal's privacy policy: onesignal.com/privacy_policy
• Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM): Used by OneSignal as the transport layer for delivering push notifications on Android. FCM is provided by Google. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
• Google Play In-App Review: Provided by Google Play Services, allows users to rate the app. Does not transmit any user data to the developer.

There are no ads, no analytics, and no behavioral tracking.

7. Children's Privacy

ZERO CONTACT does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13 years of age.

8. Permissions

The app requests the following permissions:

• VIBRATE: To provide haptic feedback during gameplay
• WAKE_LOCK: To prevent the screen from turning off during active gameplay
• INTERNET: Used for push notifications, In-App Review, and Play Store links
• POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Android 13+): To display push notifications about game updates. You can disable notifications at any time from your device settings.

These permissions do not involve any personal data collection. Push notifications use only an anonymous device identifier (see Section 2).

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
