Privacy Policy for Candilicious

1. Information We Process

Meta Platform and Entitlement Verification

Candilicious uses Meta Platform services to verify that the game is being used by an authorized user.

The game may communicate with Meta’s services as necessary to perform entitlement verification and related platform initialization.

Jacinth Studios does not use this functionality to collect or store your:

• Meta username
• Meta profile photograph
• Meta account profile information
• Meta user ID for independent profiling or tracking

Information processed by Meta in connection with Meta accounts, Meta Quest devices, or Meta Platform services is subject to Meta’s own privacy policies and terms.

2. Local Gameplay Data

Candilicious processes gameplay information necessary to operate the game, which may include information such as:

• Game progress
• Completed levels
• Gameplay state
• Player settings
• Gameplay statistics
• Playtime-related information
• Deaths or gameplay events
• Weapon or gameplay-system usage
• Game performance information

This information is used to operate Candilicious, maintain game progress, provide gameplay functionality, and improve the player’s in-game experience.

This information is stored or processed locally on the player’s device.

Jacinth Studios does not receive or remotely collect this gameplay information.

Candilicious does not use Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, GameAnalytics, Sentry, or another third-party analytics platform to transmit gameplay analytics to Jacinth Studios.

3. Saved Game Data

Game saves, settings, progress, and related game information are stored locally on the Meta Quest device.

Candilicious does not currently use a Jacinth Studios cloud-save service, Meta Cloud Storage, or another third-party cloud-save service for game progress.

Jacinth Studios therefore does not maintain a server-side copy of your saved game data.

4. VR Tracking Data

Candilicious uses headset and controller position and orientation information as necessary to provide VR gameplay.

This information is processed in real time to allow the game to respond to your physical movements and controller input.

Jacinth Studios does not record, store remotely, or receive your headset or controller movement data.

Candilicious does not currently use hand tracking.

5. Sensors and Sensitive Device Features

Candilicious does not use or collect data through:

• Microphone recording
• Camera image or video capture
• Eye tracking
• Face tracking
• Body tracking
• Hand tracking
• Room scanning
• Scene understanding data
• Spatial anchors
• Room-mesh information
• Location services

Candilicious does not use passthrough as part of its gameplay.

6. Internet and Network Access

Candilicious may use an internet connection for Meta Platform functionality, including entitlement verification and platform initialization.

The game may also check network availability as required by underlying platform or game-engine functionality.

Jacinth Studios does not operate a gameplay server to which Candilicious sends personal information or gameplay analytics.

Candilicious is a single-player game and does not currently provide:

• Multiplayer gameplay
• Matchmaking
• Voice chat
• Text chat
• Player-to-player messaging
• User-generated content sharing

7. Crash Reports and Diagnostic Information

The publicly released Shipping version of Candilicious does not automatically transmit Unreal Engine traces, development logs, Android File Server information, crash diagnostics, or similar development telemetry to Jacinth Studios.

Development tools and diagnostic systems used during development are disabled or excluded from the Shipping release where applicable.

If you voluntarily contact Jacinth Studios for technical support and choose to provide a screenshot, log file, device information, or other diagnostic information, we may use that information solely to investigate and respond to your support request.

8. Advertising

Candilicious does not display third-party advertising.

Jacinth Studios does not use AdMob or another advertising network within the Shipping version of Candilicious.

We do not sell personal information to advertisers or use information from Candilicious for targeted advertising.

9. Purchases

Candilicious is offered as a one-time game purchase.

Candilicious does not currently contain:

• In-app purchases
• Subscriptions
• Paid downloadable content
• Advertising-based purchases
• External payment systems

Purchases of Candilicious through the Meta Horizon Store are processed by Meta according to Meta’s applicable terms and privacy policies. Jacinth Studios does not receive your full payment-card information.

10. Information You Voluntarily Provide to Us

If you contact Jacinth Studios at support@jacinthstudios.com, you may voluntarily provide information such as:

• Your email address
• Your name
• The contents of your message
• Screenshots
• Game logs
• Diagnostic information
• Other information you choose to include

We use this information only as reasonably necessary to:

• Respond to your request
• Provide customer support
• Investigate technical problems
• Address bugs or other issues
• Maintain appropriate records of the support interaction

Please avoid sending sensitive personal information that is not necessary for us to resolve your request.

11. Data Retention

Because gameplay data and saved-game information are stored locally on your device, Jacinth Studios does not maintain a server-side retention period for that information.

Information voluntarily provided through support communications may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to resolve the request, maintain support records, protect against abuse, comply with legal obligations, or establish or defend legal rights.

When such information is no longer reasonably required, it may be deleted.

12. Deleting Your Data

Locally Stored Game Data

You can remove locally stored Candilicious game data by deleting the application’s data or uninstalling Candilicious from your Meta Quest device, subject to the functionality provided by your device and Meta Horizon OS.

Because Jacinth Studios does not receive or maintain a server-side copy of your local game save, we generally cannot remotely delete or recover local game data on your behalf.

Information Provided to Jacinth Studios

If you have contacted Jacinth Studios and would like personal information you provided to us to be deleted, you may submit a deletion request to:

support@jacinthstudios.com

Please state that your request concerns deletion of personal information associated with Candilicious.

We will process valid deletion requests as required by applicable law. We may retain limited information where reasonably necessary to comply with a legal obligation, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or abuse, or establish or defend legal claims.

There is no fee for submitting a data deletion request.

13. Children’s Privacy

Candilicious is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed toward children under 13 years of age, or a higher minimum age where required by applicable local law.

A content rating indicating that the game’s content may be suitable for younger audiences does not necessarily mean that the game is designed or directed specifically toward children.

Candilicious does not knowingly collect personal information from children through Jacinth Studios-operated analytics systems, advertising systems, accounts, multiplayer services, or game servers because those systems are not used by the game.

Access to Candilicious through Meta Quest accounts, including parent-managed accounts where available, is also subject to Meta’s account, age, parental-control, and platform requirements.

If a parent or guardian believes that a child has directly provided personal information to Jacinth Studios through a support request and would like that information removed, they may contact us at support@jacinthstudios.com.

14. Third-Party Services

Candilicious relies on Meta Quest and Meta Platform functionality for operation and distribution, including entitlement verification.

Meta may independently process device, account, transaction, diagnostic, platform, or other information under Meta’s own privacy policies.

Jacinth Studios does not control Meta’s independent processing of information. You should review Meta’s applicable privacy policies for information about how Meta processes information associated with your Meta account and Meta Quest device.

15. Sharing and Sale of Personal Information

Jacinth Studios does not sell personal information collected through Candilicious.

We do not share gameplay information with advertising networks or data brokers.

Information voluntarily submitted to Jacinth Studios may be disclosed only where reasonably necessary to:

• Provide technical or operational services on our behalf
• Comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or lawful governmental request
• Protect the rights, safety, or security of users, Jacinth Studios, or others
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims

16. Security

Jacinth Studios takes reasonable measures appropriate to the nature of the information we handle.

No method of electronic communication or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should therefore avoid including unnecessary sensitive information when contacting us.

17. International Users

Jacinth Studios is based in India.

If you voluntarily contact us from another country, information contained in your communication may be processed in India.

Where required by applicable law, we will handle such information in accordance with applicable data-protection requirements.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy if Candilicious changes, if our data practices change, or if applicable legal or platform requirements change.

When we make changes, we will update the Effective Date shown at the top of this Privacy Policy.

If a future version of Candilicious introduces functionality that materially changes how user information is collected, processed, stored, or shared, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.
