1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how ToGocchi ("we," "our," or "the App") handles your information. By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect and How We Use It
ToGocchi collects and processes the following data solely to provide the App's functionality:
- iCloud Data (Apple CloudKit): Your pet's name, type, statistics (hunger, cleanliness, sleep, mood), food inventory, game progress, and messages are stored in your personal iCloud account to sync across your devices. This data is governed by Apple's iCloud Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
- Motion & Fitness Data (Core Motion): The App accesses your device's pedometer to count steps during in-app walks. Step data is processed locally on your device, used only to calculate in-game food rewards, and is not stored beyond a single walk session.
- Apple Watch Data (WatchConnectivity): If you use ToGocchi on Apple Watch, step count and pet data are exchanged between your iPhone and Apple Watch using Apple's WatchConnectivity framework. This data remains on your devices.
- Local Preferences (UserDefaults): Minimal settings such as tutorial completion status are stored locally on your device.
3. Information We Do Not Collect
We do not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:
- Personal identification information (name, email, phone number, address)
- Location data
- Analytics, diagnostics, or usage tracking data
- Advertising identifiers or profiles
- Data from third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, rent, or share your data with any third parties. When you use the in-app share feature, a link to your pet is shared through the iOS share sheet. You control when and with whom this link is shared.
