Squishy Dumpling Drop Privacy Policy

1. About the game and this policy

This policy covers Squishy Dumpling Drop. The game works offline and does not require an account. It has no advertising, advertising identifiers, analytics SDKs, in-app purchases, subscriptions, online chat or user-generated content.

SpeakMore is a separate language-learning service. Its accounts, voice recordings, subscriptions, community features and cloud services do not apply to this game. SpeakMore’s policy remains at the SpeakMore privacy page.

2. What the game stores locally

The game saves the following on your device:

• Progress, settings, stars, records, unlocked characters, streaks, earned coins and accessories, so your choices and achievements are available when you play again.
• Saved runs and local gameplay logs. The logs record actions, outcomes, attempt identifiers, puzzle seeds (values used to generate puzzles) and timing information about your attempts.

Local gameplay logging is enabled. There is currently no Settings control to turn it off. The game does not upload these logs or other saved game data.

The game does not request access to your contacts, microphone, physical camera, photos or precise location. Its virtual cameras only render game scenes; they do not use your device’s camera.

Local data is kept on your device until it is removed using the controls described below. Access to your device and any device backups is managed through your operating system and provider.

3. Data sharing and device backups

The game does not send your progress, saved runs or local gameplay logs to Erstdev, advertisers or analytics services. There is no game-data upload feature.

Your operating system or device provider may back up and restore app data, depending on your device, account and backup settings. These backups are controlled by the operating system or provider. Check their settings and privacy information to manage them.

Visiting this website or emailing support involves separate online services, described in sections 6 and 7.

4. Children’s privacy

Squishy Dumpling Drop is intended for players aged 6 and older, including children. Children can play offline without registering, submitting contact details or uploading their play history. The game has no ads, online chat or public posting features.

Parents and guardians can use the deletion controls below and manage the device’s backup settings. Please have a parent or guardian contact support on a child’s behalf, and avoid including a child’s name, photos or other personal details in messages.

A parent or guardian with a privacy question, including a request about information sent in an email, can contact erstdev@gmail.com.

5. Deleting your data

• In the game: Open Settings > Delete All Progress to delete progress, saved runs and local gameplay logs. This keeps your preference settings.
• On Android: Use the system’s app storage controls to clear storage (sometimes called “Clear data”) to remove all app data, including preferences. The exact steps depend on your device.
• Device backups: Manage backups separately through your operating system or backup provider. Clearing local data does not itself guarantee that a provider’s backup copies are removed; a later restoration may restore saved data.

Deleting game data does not delete emails you have sent or browser data from visits to this website. There is no game account or Erstdev cloud save to delete.

6. Website visits and external links

Opening the online privacy policy launches your browser and connects to www.speakmore.org. The following describes the website, separately from the offline game.

To deliver a page, the website’s hosting infrastructure receives technical request information, including your IP address, the requested page and browser request information. This is separate from game progress and local gameplay logs.

This game’s privacy page does not load Google Analytics or send analytics measurements. It does not ask for an analytics choice or read or update a saved SpeakMore analytics preference. You can read it without an account, age verification or consent.

Other parts of the SpeakMore website have separate analytics practices described in their own notices. Following a link away from the game’s pages can take you to those parts of the site.

Existing analytics cookies from earlier SpeakMore visits may remain in your browser. This page does not use or renew them. You can remove them through your browser’s site-data controls.

If you follow a link to another service, that service receives your browser request and its own privacy policy applies. You do not need to open external links to play the game offline.

7. Support emails and privacy requests

You can contact Erstdev at erstdev@gmail.com. If you send an email, Erstdev and the email providers delivering the message receive your email address and the information you voluntarily include, such as message text and attachments. The contact mailbox is provided by Google’s Gmail service.

Sending an email is optional and separate from playing. Please share only what is needed for your question.

To ask about information you have sent, or to request access, correction or deletion, email the same address. Removing progress from your device does not remove an email from a mailbox.

Depending on applicable law, you may also have rights to restrict or object to processing, receive a portable copy of your personal data, and complain to your local data protection authority.

8. Policy changes

Updates to this policy will be published on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Please check it when you want to review the current policy.
