Tin LanternPrivacy Policy
Tin Lantern ("we", "us") makes Hushleaf. This policy explains what information the game and this website handle, why, and the choices you have. We have tried to write it plainly.
The short version
- Your game progress is stored on your device.
- We do not ask for your name, email address, contacts, photos or precise location.
- Sharing anonymous play data is your choice, and you can change it at any time.
- Purchases are handled by your app store. We never see your payment details.
- You can delete everything the game has stored from inside the game.
Information stored on your device
The game saves your progress on your device so you can continue where you left off. This includes your level, tea leaves, items and stamps, power-ups, settings, daily streak, customer orders and purchases you have made. This information stays on your device unless you choose to move it using a backup code.
Anonymous play data
When you first open the game, you are asked whether to share anonymous play data. If you agree, the game records gameplay events such as levels finished, hints used and items bought, linked to a random identifier that does not reveal who you are. We use this to understand which levels are too hard, how the game is played and what to improve. If you decline, these events are not recorded. You can switch this on or off at any time in the game under the gear button, then "Privacy & data".
Purchases
Optional purchases are processed by the app store you downloaded the game from, such as Google Play. The store handles your payment and shares with us only what is needed to deliver your purchase, such as a confirmation that it succeeded. We do not receive or store your card number or billing address. The store's own privacy policy applies to the information it collects.
Advertising
The game may show ads, including optional ads you can watch for a reward. Ads are provided by third-party advertising partners. To show and measure ads, these partners may collect information from your device, such as its advertising identifier, approximate location derived from your IP address and information about how you interact with ads, under their own privacy policies. You can limit ad personalisation in your device settings. A one-time purchase in the game removes ads between levels.
Sharing from the game
The game lets you share a Daily score or a picture of your shop. This happens only when you choose to share, and it uses your device's own share menu. We do not receive what you share or who you share it with.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers that help us run the game, such as the app store and advertising partners described above, or when the law requires it.
Children
The game is intended for people aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Keeping and deleting your data
Information on your device stays there until you delete it. To delete everything the game has stored, open the gear button, choose "Privacy & data" and tap "Delete my data", or uninstall the game. To ask us to delete any anonymous play data associated with your device, email us at the address below.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete your personal information, or to object to how it is used. To make a request, email us. We will respond as the law requires.
