This Privacy Policy applies to the GLITCH: AR Bug Shooter mobile game (the “Application”), developed and published by Mehra Foundation as a Premium paid augmented reality game. We believe in privacy by design. GLITCH does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information, behavioral telemetry, or sensitive device data with external servers or third parties.
1. Camera Usage (Augmented Reality)
To deliver an immersive augmented reality experience, GLITCH requires access to your device's camera:
- Purpose: Camera access is strictly required to enable core Augmented Reality gameplay features through Google ARCore and AR Foundation.
- On-Device Processing Only: Camera video frames and environmental depth sensor data are processed strictly on-device in volatile memory (RAM) in real time to detect physical surfaces (floors, walls) and render game elements (digital cyber bugs, glitch portals, laser arcs).
- No Video Recording or Storage: Camera video frames are never recorded, captured, saved to disk, stored in permanent storage, or transmitted off your device.
- No Biometric Data: The camera feed is never analyzed for facial recognition, biometric identification, or personal characteristics.
2. Information Storage (Local Save Data)
GLITCH manages gameplay progress with complete user privacy:
- Local Persistence Only: Game progression (high scores, wave progress, unlocked arsenal weapons, in-game bits, and user settings such as volume and aim assist) is saved strictly to your local device storage.
- No Remote Sync: Save data is never transmitted to cloud servers, third-party databases, or external analytics endpoints.
- Data Deletion: You can reset all local progress at any time within the in-game Settings screen by selecting "Reset Progress", or by clearing app data in your Android system settings (Settings > Apps > GLITCH > Storage > Clear Data).
3. Network Permissions & Analytics
- No Network Permissions: GLITCH does not request network or internet permissions in its production manifest.
- No Third-Party SDKs: The application does not integrate advertising SDKs, tracking pixels, or third-party behavioral analytics services.
- No Data Sharing: Because no data is collected, no user data is ever sold, transferred, or shared.
4. Children’s Privacy
GLITCH complies with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) and GDPR regulations. Because no personal data is collected from any user, no personal information from children or adults is ever collected, stored, or processed.
5. Security
Because all gameplay and processing occur entirely on your local device without internet connectivity, your data is inherently protected from network transmission vulnerabilities.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy periodically to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory modifications. Updates will be posted directly to this page with a revised effective date.
