PRIVACY POLICY

About this policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Obstinate LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in Smash Eat Grow: Smashlet (“Smashlet” or the “App”), Android package obstinate.smashlet, and in support communications about the App.

Privacy contact: storm@obstinate.io. Website: https://obstinate.io.

Information used on your device

Smashlet runs its gameplay and saves progress on your device. It does not require an account or provide developer-operated cloud saves.

With the permissions you grant through Android XR, the App uses head position and orientation, hand positions and gestures, and information about nearby surfaces to place the Smashlet and virtual objects in your room and let you interact with them. This information is processed locally for gameplay. The App does not send these tracking streams or room-surface information to Obstinate LLC, and it does not save a recording of your movements or a persistent map of your room.

The App saves your virtual pet’s identity, appearance, condition and progress; virtual objects and their positions within the play area; gameplay history; and preferences or session settings where applicable. These records let you resume play. They are not uploaded to an Obstinate server.

Your device’s XR system provides the view of your surroundings. The App does not capture or upload camera photos, camera video, or microphone recordings. It does not use eye tracking or facial tracking.

Technical logs may be generated locally for troubleshooting. The App does not automatically send these logs to us.

Advertising, analytics, and sharing

The App does not include advertising, advertising identifiers, or enabled in-app analytics or cloud crash-reporting services. We do not sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising.

Google Play, Android XR, and your device provider may separately process information for their own services, such as app distribution, platform diagnostics, and device backups, under their privacy policies and your settings. Google Play may make app statistics and diagnostic reports available to developers. These platform services are separate from the App’s local gameplay processing. Google’s Privacy Policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

When you contact us

If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to send, such as a message, screenshot, or diagnostic log. We use this information to respond, investigate issues, and provide support. Please avoid sending sensitive information or images of your surroundings unless necessary for your request.

Our email service providers process these communications to deliver and store them. We may also disclose information when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect legal rights or security. Support correspondence is not used for targeted advertising.

Retention and deletion

Local saves remain on your device until removed. The in-app “Start over” option resets the active pet and world, but recovery copies of previous saves may remain in the App’s storage. To remove the App’s local saves, recovery copies, and settings, use your device’s app settings to clear Smashlet’s storage/data. Uninstalling normally also removes its local app data.

Device or operating-system backup and restore services may retain or restore app data, depending on your settings. Manage those copies through your device or backup provider; clearing local storage does not necessarily delete a separate backup.

We retain support correspondence only as long as needed to handle your request, resolve related issues, and meet applicable legal obligations. You can ask us to delete correspondence we hold by emailing storm@obstinate.io. We may retain information where legally required or necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Your choices and security

You can review or revoke the App’s permissions in your device settings. Features that need hand or room access may stop working when the relevant permission is denied or revoked.

Local information relies on Android’s app-storage protections and your device’s security controls. No storage or communication method is completely secure.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold, or to raise a concern with a privacy regulator. Contact storm@obstinate.io to make a request. Information held only on your device must be managed using the local controls described above.

Children’s privacy

Gameplay does not ask players to submit a name, email address, date of birth, or other contact details. If a parent or guardian believes a child has sent us personal information through support communications, contact storm@obstinate.io so we can review the request and delete information as appropriate.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy when the App or our information practices change. We will post the revised policy here with an updated effective date and provide additional notice or obtain consent when required.
