Privacy Policy

This is the plain-English version, because privacy policies should be readable. MechaBud collects very little, and none of it is sold, shared for advertising, or used to identify you.

What we collect

• An anonymous account ID. When the game first runs it creates a random anonymous account (via Google Firebase). It isn't linked to your name, email, or anything about you.
• Your game save. Progress, robot builds, arcade levels and scores are backed up to that anonymous account so your progress is safe and leaderboards work.
• Bug reports & feedback you send. If you tap "Report a bug" or "Send feedback", we receive your note plus basic game state (build number, progress) to help us fix things.
• Your email, only if you give it. The beta signup form on our website stores the email you enter, used only to contact you about MechaBud testing.

What we don't do

• No selling or renting data — to anyone, ever.
• No ad-tracking profiles. If optional ads are added, they'll be clearly-labelled and this policy will be updated first.
• No access to your contacts, photos, location, microphone, or anything else on your device.

Where it lives

Data is stored on Google Firebase servers. Traffic between the game and those servers is encrypted.

Deleting your data

Email PocketForgeStudios@proton.me from any address (include your in-game handler name if you have one) and we'll delete your cloud data. Uninstalling the game removes everything stored on your device.

Children

MechaBud is intended for players aged 13 and over.

Changes

If this policy changes in any meaningful way, the "last updated" date above changes with it, and in-game notice will be given before anything new takes effect.
