Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 26, 2026
Poo Samurai ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Poo Samurai mobile game for iOS and the website at poosamurai.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.
1. Summary
We do not sell your personal data. Poo Samurai is designed to collect as little information as possible. Gameplay data (scores, settings) is stored locally on your device. Optional Game Center features are handled by Apple, not by us directly.
2. Information we collect
We may collect or process the following:
-
Local game data. High scores, sound/music/haptics
preferences, and similar settings are saved on your device using
Apple's standard storage (e.g.,
UserDefaults). This data never leaves your device unless you back up your device through iCloud or other Apple services. - Game Center (optional). If you sign in to Game Center, Apple may process your player ID, display name, and leaderboard scores according to Apple's Privacy Policy. We submit scores to Game Center leaderboards but do not receive your Apple ID or email address.
- Website analytics. Our marketing site at poosamurai.com may use basic, privacy-focused hosting logs (e.g., Vercel) such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking pixels on the site.
- Contact form. If you use our contact form, we receive your name, email address, and message so we can respond. Messages are delivered to our support inbox and retained only as long as needed to resolve your inquiry.
3. Information we do not collect
We do not collect:
- Account registration or passwords (there is no login in the app)
- Precise location data
- Contacts, photos, or microphone access
- Payment information (the app is free; no in-app purchases in v1)
- Third-party analytics SDKs (e.g., Firebase, Facebook) in the app
4. How we use information
We use information only to:
- Provide and improve the game experience
- Display leaderboard rankings via Game Center
- Respond to support requests
- Maintain and secure our website
- Comply with legal obligations
5. Sharing of information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data only:
- With Apple when you use Game Center (subject to Apple's policies)
- With service providers who host our website (e.g., Vercel), bound by confidentiality
- When required by law or to protect our legal rights
6. Data retention
Local game data remains on your device until you delete the app or reset your device. Messages sent through our contact form are retained only as long as needed to resolve your inquiry. Server logs for the website are retained according to our hosting provider's default retention period (typically 30 days or less).
7. Children's privacy
Poo Samurai is rated 9+ and uses cartoon, non-realistic visuals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, use our contact form and we will delete it promptly.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Withdraw consent where processing is consent-based
- Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority
To exercise these rights, use our contact form. Deleting the app removes locally stored game data from your device.
9. International users
Our website may be accessed globally. If you use the app or site from outside the United States, you agree that information may be processed in the United States or wherever our service providers operate.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the app or website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
