Cedar Line Studios LLC ("Cedar Line Studios," "we," "us") is a U.S. company based in Washington State that develops and publishes mobile games and utility apps (the "Apps"). This policy explains what data the Apps collect, how it is used, who it is shared with, and the choices and rights you have.
Contact: contact@cedarlinestudios.com
The short version: the Apps do not require an account, do not ask for your name, email address, or contact details, do not show third-party ads, do not track you across other companies' apps or websites, and do not sell your personal data. We collect a limited amount of pseudonymous usage, device, and crash data so we can keep the Apps working and improve them. Content you create in an App is stored on your device and, where noted, in your own iCloud account — not on our servers.
App-specific data practices are described in Part B. If an App is not listed here, this policy does not yet apply to it.
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, or other directly identifying information through the Apps, and the Apps have no account or sign-up system.
We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand how the Apps are used. This includes:
Analytics collection is enabled by default and begins when you launch the App. We use this data only in aggregate to understand feature usage; we do not use it to identify you personally, to build advertising profiles, or to track you across other companies' apps or websites.
We use Google Firebase Crashlytics and Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.) to detect and fix crashes and errors. When the App crashes or encounters an error, these tools collect:
The Apps store data locally on your device (for example, game progress, scores, settings, and preferences). This data stays on your device unless it is synced through a service described below, and we cannot access it.
For Apps that integrate Apple Game Center, we use it for leaderboards, achievements, and saved game data. Game Center may process your Game Center player identifier, alias/nickname, scores, and friend relationships (used only for friends-only leaderboard views). Our leaderboard screens display the public aliases and scores of other players; the Apps do not access or display Game Center profile photos. Saved game data may be synced to your personal iCloud account through Apple's Game Center saved-games feature; that data lives in your Apple account, not on Cedar Line Studios servers. Game Center and iCloud are operated by Apple and governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. You can manage Game Center (including your alias and who can see your profile) and iCloud in your device Settings.
Some Apps include a "Contact us" option that opens your own email app; nothing is sent unless you choose to send it. If you email us, we receive your email address, anything you include in the message, and any information your email provider attaches. We use this information only to respond to you and to improve the Apps, we do not add you to any marketing list, and we do not share it with anyone except as described in §5. We keep support emails only as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping, then delete them.
Some Apps invite you to take an optional feedback survey. The survey opens in your web browser, outside the App, and is hosted by Google Forms, a third-party service (see §5.2). The survey does not ask for your name or contact details, so do not enter personal information into your answers. If you do, it is stored with your answers. We use survey answers to improve the Apps.
Apple processes all in-app purchases. We do not receive your payment card or billing details. The App receives a record of your purchases from Apple so that it can unlock and restore them. The App also records purchase events in the analytics described in §3.1, such as which item you chose and whether the purchase completed.
To be explicit, the Apps do not:
We use the data described above:
Where laws such as the EU/UK GDPR apply, we rely on the following legal bases: our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Apps (analytics and crash reporting); performance of our contract with you (delivering and restoring purchases); your consent, where required by local law, which you may withdraw at any time (see §8); and compliance with legal obligations. Where local law requires consent for analytics identifiers, you can withhold or withdraw it using the controls in §8.
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not "share" it for cross-context behavioral advertising (as those terms are defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act). We have not done so in the preceding 12 months. We do not use your personal data for targeted advertising or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects, and we do not knowingly collect or process sensitive personal data.
We share data only with service providers that process it on our behalf to provide the functions described above, and with authorities where required by law (for example, to comply with a lawful request, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of users, the public, or Cedar Line Studios). If Cedar Line Studios is ever involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, data may be transferred as part of that transaction; this policy would continue to apply to it until updated.
| Provider | Purpose | Their policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google (Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics) | Analytics and crash reporting | https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy |
| Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.) | Crash and error reporting | https://sentry.io/privacy/ |
| Apple (App Store, Game Center, iCloud, CloudKit) | Purchases, leaderboards, saved games, sync | https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/ |
App-specific providers are listed in Part B.
Some Apps link to third-party services that you can choose to use, such as the optional feedback surveys described in §3.6. These services are not our processors. When you use one, it collects data under its own privacy policy, and your use of it is subject to that policy.
| Provider | Purpose | Their policy |

| Google (Google Forms) | Optional feedback surveys | https://policies.google.com/privacy |
The Apps are operated from the United States and are currently distributed only on the United States App Store. If you use the Apps from another country, you understand that your data is processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those of your country.
Cedar Line Studios is based in the United States, and the service providers above process data on servers that may be located in the United States or other countries. Where data is transferred out of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, our providers rely on recognized transfer mechanisms — Google LLC, Apple Inc., and Functional Software, Inc. (Sentry) participate in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (and its UK and Swiss extensions) and/or use Standard Contractual Clauses.
We do not retain personal data indefinitely, and we do not retain it longer than reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
Regardless of where you live, you can:
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a portable copy of your personal data; to restrict or object to certain processing; to withdraw consent; and to opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling (we do not engage in any of those). We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
To exercise a right, email contact@cedarlinestudios.com with the App name and your request. We will respond within the time required by applicable law (generally 30–45 days). Where permitted, an authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf. If we deny a request, you may appeal by replying to our response; if the appeal is denied, you may contact your state Attorney General or, in the EEA/UK, lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.
An important honest limitation: because the Apps have no accounts and the identifiers we hold are random per-installation values, we usually cannot link analytics data, crash data, or survey answers to you specifically. Under laws such as GDPR Article 11, where we cannot identify you in our data, some rights (like access or deletion of analytics records) may not be technically fulfillable; in that case the most effective controls are the device-level ones in §8, deleting the App (which resets the analytics identifier), and managing your Game Center/iCloud data directly with Apple. Content you create in an App is under your direct control — you can view, edit, and delete it in the App itself.
For California residents, in the preceding 12 months we have collected these categories of personal information as defined by the CCPA/CPRA: identifiers (random app-instance and installation identifiers; your email address only if you email us); internet or other electronic network activity information (in-app usage events, device and crash diagnostics); commercial information (records of in-app purchases); and coarse geolocation (city-level, derived from IP address by our analytics provider). We collect them for the purposes in §4, share them only with the processors in §5, retain them as described in §7, and do not sell them or share them for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not collect sensitive personal information. California residents may exercise the rights in §9, including through an authorized agent. Cedar Line Studios does not currently meet the revenue or data-volume thresholds that make a company a covered "business" under the CCPA/CPRA; we provide these disclosures and honor the rights in §9 voluntarily.
Do Not Track: we do not track users over time and across third-party websites or apps, so the Apps do not respond to "Do Not Track" signals, and no third party collects personal information about your activities over time and across different websites or apps through the Apps.
We rely on the platform security of iOS and on the security programs of Apple and Google for data in transit and at rest, and we limit the data we collect in the first place (data we never collect cannot be breached). No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affecting your personal data occurs, we will notify you and regulators as required by law.
The Apps are not directed to children under 13 (or the higher minimum age required in your jurisdiction — for example, 16 in some EEA countries), and they are age-rated accordingly on the App Store. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and we do not use verifiable parental consent mechanisms because the Apps are not intended for children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has used the Apps or provided us personal information (for example, by emailing us), contact contact@cedarlinestudios.com and we will delete it promptly. If we ever direct an App to children, we will comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), including its notice and parental consent requirements, before that App launches.
Today the Apps contain no third-party advertising and no accounts. If we add either of these to an App, we will update this policy and the App's App Store privacy label before the feature launches, describe exactly what changes (including any new providers in §5 and Part B), and, where required by law or by Apple (for example, the App Tracking Transparency prompt), ask for your permission before any new collection begins.
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will always be available at this address, and the "Last updated" date will reflect the latest revision. For material changes — such as collecting new categories of data or adding new third-party providers — we will provide more prominent notice (for example, an in-app notice or App Store release note) before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the Apps after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

We are the data controller for the analytics and crash data described in Part A. Apple is an independent controller of Game Center and iCloud data, and of App Store data.
