Privacy Policy

Account Information

When you create or manage an account, we may collect:

• name or display name;
• username or handle;
• email address;
• profile information;
• account identifiers;
• authentication information;
• account preferences;

If you sign in through services such as Apple or Google, we may receive information you authorize that provider to share, such as your name, email address, and authentication identifier. We do not receive your Apple or Google password.

Invitations and Social Connections

When you invite or connect with another person, we may process:

• invitation links or codes;
• the sender and recipient of an invitation;
• invitation status;
• shared adventures;
• social connections within Bondyn;
• interaction history between players;

If Bondyn later allows access to device contacts, we will request any permission required by the operating system before accessing contacts. Bondyn does not upload or continuously synchronize an entire address book unless that functionality is specifically introduced and disclosed.

Messages and Gameplay Communications

Bondyn adventures may involve communication between players. We may process:

• messages sent through Bondyn;
• adventure responses;
• choices and decisions;
• clues exchanged between players;
• reactions or interactions;
• adventure progress;
• puzzle responses;
• other communications required to provide multiplayer experiences;

Some adventures intentionally provide different information to different players. Information you send to another player will be available to that player.

Voice and Audio

If you use voice-message or audio features, we may process:

• audio recordings;
• voice messages;
• generated transcripts;
• timestamps;
• related adventure context;

Audio may be processed by automated systems or service providers for transcription and related functionality. Transcriptions can contain errors.

Bondyn does not use voice recordings to identify users through biometric voiceprints unless we specifically introduce that functionality and provide any notice or consent required by law.

Images and Other Media

If Bondyn allows you to upload or share images, video, audio, or other media, we process that content to provide the feature you requested.

Where device permission is required for your camera, microphone, photo library, or other device functionality, Bondyn requests permission through the operating system.

Adventure and Gameplay Data

We collect information about how people interact with Bondyn adventures, including:

• adventures viewed, started, and completed;
• progress, chapters, or story beats reached;
• choices made and puzzle attempts;
• clues or media viewed;
• Artifacts collected and achievements earned;
• invitations sent and accepted;
• adventure partners;
• session activity and timestamps;

We use this information to operate Bondyn, save progress, improve adventures, personalize experiences, understand product performance, and develop new features.

AI Interaction Data

When you interact with AI-powered features, we may process:

• your messages and responses;
• adventure context and previous events;
• player choices and relevant media;
• AI prompts generated by Bondyn;
• AI-generated responses;
• other information necessary to generate the experience;

Information may be sent to third-party AI service providers acting on our behalf. We use reasonable efforts to limit it to what is necessary.

Do not intentionally provide highly sensitive personal information to AI characters unless necessary for a Bondyn feature.

Purchase Information

When you purchase a paid feature, we may collect:

• products purchased;
• purchase amount;
• transaction identifier and date;
• subscription status;
• payment status;

Payments may be processed by third-party payment processors or app marketplaces. Bondyn does not directly store complete payment-card numbers unless technically necessary and protected by appropriate payment-security infrastructure. Payment providers may independently collect payment and billing information under their own policies.

Device and Technical Information

We may automatically collect:

• IP address;
• device type and operating system;
• browser type and app version;
• device or application identifiers;
• language;
• approximate location derived from IP address;
• crash and diagnostic information;
• referral source and timestamps;

Unless specifically disclosed and permission is obtained where required, Bondyn does not collect precise GPS location.

Usage and Analytics Information

We may collect:

• screens and pages viewed;
• buttons or features used;
• navigation patterns and session duration;
• adventure discovery behavior;
• acquisition source and conversion events;
• errors and performance data;
• other product analytics;

We use this information to understand how Bondyn is used and improve the Service.

Corporate Transactions

If Goldspark Media LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar transaction, information associated with Bondyn may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

General framework

• Account information is retained while active and for a limited period afterward when needed for security, legal, fraud-prevention, or recovery;
• Adventure progress and purchases are retained to maintain access, progress, and transaction history;
• Messages and shared adventure content are retained as reasonably necessary for shared history and social functionality, subject to deletion controls and legal requirements;
• Voice recordings and transcripts are retained only as reasonably necessary for the feature, shared history where applicable, or legitimate security and legal needs;
• Analytics and diagnostic information is retained for a limited period appropriate for analysis, security, and troubleshooting;
• Transaction records may be retained longer for accounting, tax, fraud prevention, chargebacks, or legal compliance;

Where practical, information no longer required may be deleted or de-identified.
