PRIVACY POLICY MODEL FOR MOBILE APPLICATIONS

This privacy policy governs your use of the software application Blockjaw (hereinafter "The Application") for mobile devices that was created by Joshua Crowley. The Application is a puzzle-type video game that allows you to move falling blocks with your facial expressions in order to fill rows to make room for more blocks.

What information does The Application obtain and how is it used?

User Provided Information

The Application requires access to the camera while the app is in use in order to provide Augmented Reality features like facial expression tracking. You may refuse or rescind access to the camera and photo library at any time, but doing so will render you unable to use any features of The Application other than basic navigation.

Automatically Collected Information

The Application does not collect any personal information from the user. All in-progress games are stored locally on the device (though may be backed up to your own personal iCloud storage depending on your device's and/or account's settings). The only information to which we have access are anonymized statistics and metrics provided by the App Store (e.g. sales numbers). Users are also able to submit high scores to global rankings akin to entering one's initials into an arcade cabinet, but no personal information is collected in this process.

Does The Application collect precise real time location information of the device?

No geolocation services are used.

Does The Application collect or store facial data from the device?

The Application does not collect or store any facial data of any sort, and uses only raw facial expression measurements to move game pieces in realtime. No facial information is saved.

Do third parties see and/or have access to information obtained by The Application?

We may share user information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this privacy statement.

We may disclose User Provided and Automatically Collected Information:
