Privacy Policy
The short version. Gummy Dino Hatchery collects nothing. The game works completely offline: everything it needs — the 3D graphics, the sounds and the lettering — is inside the app, and it never connects to the internet. There is no account, no sign-in, no advertising, no analytics, no in-app purchases and no links out of the app, and it asks for no permissions. Your child's collection of dinosaurs is saved only on your own device.
Who we are
Gummy Dino Hatchery is made by a single independent developer. If you have a question about this policy, email eldenkamfei@gmail.com.
1. What is stored, and where
Everything the game saves is stored in the app's own storage on the device it is running on, using Apple's standard app preferences. None of it is transmitted anywhere. We never see any of it.
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Which dinosaurs have hatched, and how many of each (the "My Nest" collection) | So the collection is still there next time |
| Whether sound is on or off | To remember the last choice |
| How many eggs have hatched, and how many ordinary dinosaurs hatched in a row | So a more special egg turns up after a run of ordinary ones |
That is the complete list. The game stores no names, no photos, no recordings, no location and nothing typed — there is nowhere to type anything. If you back your device up to iCloud or a computer, that backup is made by Apple's operating system and is under your own Apple Account; we have no access to it.
2. What Gummy Dino Hatchery does not do
- No internet. The app never connects to any server, ours or anyone else's. It works the same in aeroplane mode. The app uses no servers.
- No account. No sign-up, no sign-in, no profile, no email address.
- No advertising of any kind, and no advertising identifier.
- No analytics, telemetry or crash-reporting software inside the app.
- No tracking of any kind, across this app or any other.
- No permissions. No camera, microphone, photos, location, contacts, calendar or notifications — the app never asks, because it never uses them.
- No in-app purchases and no subscriptions.
- No links out to websites, social networks or other apps. No chat, no messaging, no way for a child to send anything to anyone.
- Nothing is sold or shared. There is nothing to sell or share.
3. What is inside the app
The game is built with open-source components that are packaged inside the app: Capacitor (the app framework), three.js (the 3D graphics) and the Fredoka typeface. None of them collects information, and none of them connects to the internet in Gummy Dino Hatchery. The sounds are made on the device while your child plays, and the gentle vibrations use the iPhone's built-in haptics; neither involves any data.
4. Third parties
There are none. Gummy Dino Hatchery has no service providers, processors, advertising networks, analytics vendors or data brokers, because no data leaves the device for anyone to receive.
Apple distributes the app through the App Store under Apple's own privacy policy. If you have chosen to share analytics with app developers (Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements), Apple may show us anonymous crash reports and overall statistics such as the number of downloads. That is controlled by Apple and by you; the app itself sends nothing.
5. How to delete everything
- Start the collection over: open My Nest and hold the round button at the bottom of the list for two seconds.
- Everything: delete the app. Removing Gummy Dino Hatchery removes its storage from the device, and with it the collection and every setting. On iOS use Delete App, not Offload App — offloading deliberately keeps the app's data so it comes back if you reinstall.
- Backups: to remove it from an existing device backup too, delete the app and then make a fresh backup, or manage backups in Settings › [your name] › iCloud.
Retention: we hold nothing, so there is no retention period on our side and no server copy to delete. On-device data stays on the device until you clear it or delete the app.
Requests: we cannot look up, export, correct or delete information about a particular person, because we do not have any. If that ever changes, this page will change first.
6. Children
Gummy Dino Hatchery is designed for young children; on the App Store it is in the Kids category, age band 5 and under. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone of any age, including children, because the app does not collect information at all. There is no sign-up, no profile, no text entry, no messaging, no photo or video upload, no advertising and no way for a child to send anything to us or to anybody else.
7. This website
This website is separate from the app. Its pages keep an anonymous count of visits: the page viewed, the page that linked to it and the day, on a small counter service we run. It sets no cookies, stores no IP addresses and uses no identifiers, and nothing about it is connected to the app or to anything on your device.
8. Changes to this policy
This page always describes the version of Gummy Dino Hatchery currently on the App Store. If a future release changes anything here — for example if it ever adds an online feature — we will update this page before that version is released, and change the date at the top.
