EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 5, 2026
Engine Man Eric Privacy Policy
This policy describes the shipped app identified above. It is separate from the Pokémon Field Academy website policy and must remain consistent with the exact app build and its App Store privacy answers.
Data stored on the device
The app stores campaign progress, settings, local scores, achievement progress, pending Golden Egg discovery state on the player's device. The Flins App Vault, LLC. does not receive the device-local game save unless a future feature clearly described in an updated policy transmits it.
Data the current app does not collect
The current app does not use or collect Advertising, cross-app tracking and developer analytics, Precise location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone and health information, Chat and user-generated content.
Apple Game Center
Players may optionally use Apple Game Center. Game Center is an Apple service governed by Apple's terms and privacy practices. The app remains playable as a guest when Game Center is unavailable, cancelled, or not connected.
Optional Golden Egg Hunt
A hidden Golden Egg discovery remains local unless the app has an authenticated secure connection to the official service. When available, the app may send a pseudonymous player binding, app and build version, opaque gameplay-verification evidence, request-security information, and the player's Public or Anonymous choice.
When Game Center identity verification is used, the app may send Apple's team-scoped and game-scoped player identifiers, identity signature, salt, timestamp, Apple public-key URL, and the Game Center display name reported by Apple. The service verifies the signed identity fields. Apple does not sign the display name, so it is treated as provider-reported profile information bound to that verified player. Players cannot type a substitute finder name.
The service assigns the authoritative discovery identifier, server time, ranks, first-finder state, public reference, cosmetic Secret Code, and privacy status. Pending and Anonymous discoveries and players who do not affirmatively consent to display their Game Center name appear publicly as Anonymous. A sanitized Game Center name appears publicly only after affirmative consent and may be updated only through a fresh verified Game Center exchange.
Golden Egg records are retained while the Hunt operates to preserve permanent ranks, prevent duplicates and fraud, recover interrupted requests, and honor privacy choices. Hosting and security providers may process ordinary network information solely to deliver and protect the service.
The player identifiers, provider-reported Game Center display name, and discovery record are linked user data used only for app functionality. The public-name choice is permission to publish that Game Center name; it is not permission for advertising tracking. The App does not use this information for advertising, data-broker sharing, or cross-company advertising linkage.
Children and families
Children should not enter a real name, contact detail, or other personal information. A parent or guardian may contact the business and should not send a child's personal information unless necessary to resolve the request.
Changes, requests, and contact
If a later build adds an account, cloud save, analytics, support form, advertising, location, or other collection not described here, this policy and the App Store privacy answers must be updated before that feature is enabled. Verified access, correction, anonymization, or deletion requests and privacy questions may be sent to theflinsappvaultllc@gmail.com.
