Privacy Policy

1. What this policy covers

This policy describes the current Syntax Folio mobile app and this website. “We,” “us,” and “our” refer to the Syntax Folio developer. The app has optional accounts, local gameplay, account progress sync, a public leaderboard, optional local reminders, and coin purchases where available.

2. Information on your device

The app saves gameplay state and preferences locally so you can resume play. This includes phase attempts, completed and unlocked phases, lives, timers, points, coins, language, theme, audio, app-icon choice, and reminder settings.

Guest progress stays on the device. Clearing app data or removing the app can erase it. Your device’s backup system may handle app data according to its own settings.

3. Your account

If you create an account or sign in, the authentication service processes your email address and sign-in details. You can use email, Apple, or Google where supported. Apple and Google also handle information under their own privacy policies.

Your account profile includes a username, chosen avatar, and country selection. Your email address is used for account access and recovery; it is not displayed on the public leaderboard.

4. Progress sync and leaderboard

For signed-in players, the app sends a progress snapshot to our Supabase-backed service. It includes phase results, points, coins, rewards, and related gameplay state. The app keeps a local copy so play can continue while offline and sync when a connection is available.

The global leaderboard shows signed-in players’ username, avatar, selected country or flag, points, rank, and completed-phase count. Guests can view the leaderboard, but guest progress is not submitted to it. Choose a username you are comfortable showing publicly.

5. Coin purchases

When coin purchases are offered, your platform’s app store handles checkout and payment information. We receive purchase identifiers and verification information needed to validate a transaction and credit the correct account. We do not receive your full payment-card number.

Purchase and wallet records may be used to prevent duplicate credits, investigate failed purchases, and handle refunds or restoration. The app store keeps its own purchase records under its terms and privacy policy.

6. Local reminders

If you enable reminders, the app asks your device for notification permission and schedules them locally. Your chosen notification sound and reminder preference are stored on the device. You can turn reminders off in the app or change permission in your device settings.

7. Visiting this website

This website’s current code does not ask you to create an account, submit a form, or use advertising cookies. Its fonts, images, and video are served as site assets. The hosting provider may process standard connection information, such as an IP address and requested page, to deliver and protect the site.

8. Your choices and rights

You can change your profile and app preferences in Settings. You can sign out to clear local account progress, or use Delete Account in Settings to request removal of your account and linked progress. App-store purchase records and any records that must be kept under applicable law are handled separately.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of personal information. For a privacy question or request that you cannot complete in the app, use the developer support contact shown on the app’s store listing.

9. Children, changes, and contact

Children who are not legally able to manage an account should use the app with a parent or guardian. We do not ask for a birth date in the current app. If a parent or guardian has a concern about an account, they can use the developer support contact on the app’s store listing.

We may update this policy when features or data practices change. The date above will change when we publish a revision. See the Terms of Use for the rules of using the app.
