1. Introduction

Welcome to Paper Pet Island! We are committed to protecting the privacy of our players, especially children. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect (spoiler: almost nothing!), how we use it, and your rights.

Paper Pet Island is designed with "Privacy by Design" principles. We believe the safest data is data that is never collected.

2. Who We Are

Paper Pet Island is operated by [Your Company Name/Developer Name] ("we," "us," "our"). You can contact us at:

3. Information We DO NOT Collect

Paper Pet Island does NOT collect:

• Names - We never ask for your real name
• Email Addresses - No email required to play
• Passwords - No account creation or login
• Phone Numbers - Never requested
• Physical Addresses - Not collected
• Photos or Videos - No camera access
• Precise Location - No GPS tracking
• Social Media Information - No social logins
• Behavioral Tracking - No analytics cookies or tracking pixels
• Device IDs for Tracking - We do not use advertising IDs (IDFA/GAID)

4. Information We DO Collect (Local Storage Only)

The ONLY data stored is your game progress, which is saved locally on your device using your browser's localStorage feature. This includes:

• Your current level and resources (coins, tickets, etc.)
• Items you've unlocked (decorations, vehicles, etc.)
• Islands you've discovered
• Tutorial progress
• Age bracket (child/teen/adult) - stored locally to provide an age-appropriate experience

5. How We Use Information

The locally-stored game progress is used solely to:

• Save your game state so you can continue playing later
• Provide an age-appropriate experience based on your age bracket
• Calculate offline earnings when you return to the game

We do NOT use this data for advertising, tracking, profiling, or any other purpose.

6. Third-Party Services

Paper Pet Island does NOT integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. We do not use:

• Google Analytics
• Facebook Pixel
• Ad networks
• Social media widgets

The game runs entirely in your browser with no external connections for data collection.

7. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Paper Pet Island is designed to be safe for children under 13 years old. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by:

• Not collecting personal information from children or anyone else
• Not using tracking technologies like cookies or persistent identifiers for profiling
• Not allowing free-text chat to prevent sharing of personal information or exposure to inappropriate content
• Not allowing user-uploaded content (no photos, videos, or custom text)
• Not showing behavioral advertising - the game has no ads

8. International Privacy Laws

Paper Pet Island complies with privacy laws worldwide, including:

• GDPR (European Union) - We do not process personal data, so GDPR obligations related to consent, data processing, and data transfers do not apply
• GDPR-K (Children's Privacy) - All players receive the same high level of privacy protection regardless of age or location
• UK Age Appropriate Design Code - We follow "Privacy by Design" and "Data Minimization" principles
• Mexico LFPDPPP - We do not collect data from minors and adhere to the "best interests of the child" principle

9. Your Rights

Because we do not collect or store personal information on our servers, traditional data rights (like access, correction, or deletion requests) do not apply. However:

Right to Delete Your Data

You can delete your locally-stored game progress at any time by:

1. Going to the Help Center in the game
2. Clicking "Delete My Data" in the Settings section
3. Confirming deletion

Alternatively, you can clear your browser's localStorage for paperpetisland.com manually through your browser settings.

Right to Access

All data we store is already visible to you in the game (your resources, unlocked items, etc.). There is no "hidden" data.

10. Data Security

Because all data is stored locally on your device and never transmitted to our servers, the security of your game progress depends on your device's security. We recommend:

• Using a secure, updated browser
• Not sharing your device with untrusted users
• Regularly backing up your device if you want to preserve game progress

11. No Monetization or In-App Purchases

Paper Pet Island currently does NOT include:

• Real-money purchases
• Loot boxes or randomized rewards
• Subscriptions
• Advertisements

All items in the in-game shop are purchased with in-game currency (Paper Coins) earned through gameplay. No real money is required or accepted.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. If we make material changes, we will:

• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
• Display a prominent notice in the game
• For changes affecting children's privacy, obtain verifiable parental consent if required by law

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

14. Consent
