Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 26, 2026

App Machine SIA ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Pumpkin Night mobile application (the "Service"). This policy describes the app; the rest of this website is a promotional website for adults and is not part of the Service. Pumpkin Night is a Halloween game, designed for young children (ages 2–5) and offered in the Apple App Store Kids Category.

Protecting children's privacy is central to how the Service is built. This policy explains what little information we handle, why, and the choices you have. In short: we ask for no names, emails or contact details, we show no advertising inside the app, we track no one across other apps or websites, and we never sell data. What we do handle is a random device identifier and basic technical information needed to run the game, described below.

Our Commitment to Children's Privacy

Pumpkin Night is designed to comply with the Apple Kids Category requirements, the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and the EU General Data Protection Regulation, including its provisions for children (GDPR / GDPR-K). Accordingly, the Service:

• does not ask for or collect a name, email address, phone number, postal address, or precise location from children or adults;
• contains no advertising and no in-app links out to other websites without a parental gate;
• uses no advertising SDKs and no behavioral tracking;
• relies on a small number of service providers for hosting, handling subscriptions, and spotting technical faults;
• does not use device data for behavioral advertising, profiling, or tracking across other apps or websites;
• does not sell or rent data, and shares information about individual devices only with the service providers listed below, who handle it on our behalf.

Information We Collect

Random device identifier

To let the game remember a device between visits, we store a randomly generated identifier in a single first-party, strictly-necessary cookie. This identifier is not the advertising identifier (IDFA), is not a device fingerprint, and is not linked to any real-world identity, name, or contact detail. We do not use it to find out who a child is.

Gameplay data

We record a minimal play log (which parts of the game were reached, in what order and when) to see where children play on and where they stop. This data is tied only to the random device identifier above. It contains no names or contact details and is used solely to operate and improve the game's content.

Device data

So the game can run correctly on a device, the app sends basic technical information about it, such as an installation identifier provided by the operating system (not the advertising identifier), the device model and software versions, and its language, and we determine the country in which the device is used. None of that technical information is used for advertising or profiling, and it is erased together with the device record.

Questions for the parent

The app may ask the adult setting it up a few questions about the child and the goals for the game. The answers are kept with the device record and erased together with it.

App Store ads

We advertise Pumpkin Night in the App Store and measure how well those ads work.

What we do not collect

We do not collect or request names, email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, precise geolocation, contacts, photos, or camera or microphone data. The Service has no user accounts and no login.

How We Use Information

The limited information described above is used only to:

• run the game and remember a device's progress between visits;
• tailor the app to a parent's answers;
• understand, in aggregate, which content works well so we can improve it;
• keep the Service secure and working correctly;
• see which of our own App Store ads work.

We show no advertising inside the app, and we do not use any information to track users across other apps or websites, or to build a profile of anyone.

Third-Party Services

We do not sell, rent, or share information with third parties for their own purposes. Like any online service, we rely on a small number of providers to run it. They act as our processors: they handle data on our behalf, under contract, only as needed to provide their service.

• Hosting. Our servers run the game and store the device record.
• RevenueCat handles subscription status on our behalf.
• Sentry receives technical fault reports so that we can fix them.

Subscriptions are purchased through the App Store or Google Play, and payment details never reach us. The Service contains no third-party advertising and performs no behavioral tracking of users. Where data is transferred outside your country, we rely on the safeguards required by applicable law.

Data Retention and Your Choices

We keep the device record and its play log so the game can remember progress between visits. Deletion is in your hands and takes effect immediately:

In the parent area, behind the parental gate, choose to delete all data. This permanently erases the device record and its entire play history from our servers. Step-by-step instructions are on our Data Deletion page. That does not reach the copies our providers hold for us. Write to us and we will have those deleted too.

Children's Privacy (COPPA / GDPR-K)

We do not ask children for names or contact details. The random device identifier and the play log are used only to support the internal operations of the Service and are not used for behavioral advertising or to build a profile of any child. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we might hold any information relating to your child, please contact us using the details below and we will address it promptly.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited data we handle. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page and revise the "Effective date" above. Material changes will be highlighted where appropriate. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
