Privacy policy

Lantern Rovers privacy policy Updated 15 October 2026 Publisher and privacy contact: Oreniq games, Oreniqgames@gmail.com. Oreniq games is the publishing name of an individual developer based in Utah, United States. GAMEPLAY VERSIONS COVERED BY THIS NOTICE This notice describes the gameplay-only versions of Lantern Rovers from 0.13.18 (version code 56) through 0.13.20 (version code 58), including the first public release of 0.13.20. It has no in-game account, private feedback inbox, attendance tracking or automatic daily activity uploads. A limited Google Play age and parental-approval check remains for age-appropriate access and compliance. Advertising and purchases are disabled. The intended audience remains ages 13 and older. Removing the former tester accounts does not change your Google Play account, parental controls or Store requirements. GOOGLE PLAY AGE AND PARENTAL ACCESS On supported Android builds the game requests Google Play Age Signals API 0.0.4 for age-appropriate access and legal or regulatory compliance. Depending on the response, it may temporarily receive access status, lower and upper age-band bounds, age-range source, significant-change parental approval status and date, and a Play install identifier. These raw fields stay in working memory. We do not save them or send them to Firebase, our own server, advertising, analytics or Testers14. We do not ask for date of birth, identity documents, precise location or selfies. Google handles its account and verification processes under its own terms. An age range may be self-declared, parent-provided or verified by Google; we do not independently verify identity. A minimal access decision, decision/check timestamps and policy/change revision markers are kept in private storage separately from the game save. A permitted decision lasts at most 12 calendar months; clock rollback or inconsistent records may require a new check. A known restriction remains until a valid compatible response resolves it. Raw age bounds, source, parental approval date and Play install identifier are not stored in that decision. The game checks at startup when a saved decision is missing or unusable, or permission is expired or invalid for the current policy/change revision. A preserved restriction offers an explicit retry, and you may choose Check again. Returning to the app enforces the existing decision; this adds no automatic daily Store query or attendance report. A successful NOT_SHARED response may allow conservative ordinary gameplay when no known restriction takes precedence. A fresh error without valid prior permission blocks access and offers retry. An unchanged, unexpired prior permission may allow offline gameplay after an error. Under-13, verification-required and unresolved parental-change restrictions remain blocked until resolved through the appropriate Google Play process. No 18+ eligibility is required for a tester account because this version has no game tester accounts. Clearing storage or uninstalling may remove the local decision and game progress; it does not change age or parental approval in Google Play or guarantee unrestricted access. A fresh installation checks again. An older installed copy or offline cached decision cannot immediately learn every later Store change. Do not send raw age responses or identity documents to support. PROGRESS ON YOUR DEVICE The game keeps progress, equipment, inventory, preferences, tutorial completion, rewards and any expedition in progress in private app storage. This version does not upload that progress, send gameplay reports or offer a cloud save. Device backup and transfer features may retain separate copies under your device settings. Updating the game is intended to preserve your ordinary game save. Uninstalling or clearing app storage can permanently remove it; do not do that as a routine testing step. SUPPORT AND SHARING YOU CHOOSE You may choose to open your email app to contact Oreniqgames@gmail.com. This version does not automatically attach game progress, device identifiers, device details or activity records. You decide what to write, attach and send. If you send a message, we receive your sender address and the content you include, and use it to answer support requests, investigate problems and improve the game. Your email provider also processes messages under its own policy. Do not include passwords, payment information or sensitive personal details. Optional progress sharing prepares text about game progress. You choose the receiving app and whether to send. The game does not read contacts or send invitations automatically. The receiving service handles shared information under its own policy. EXTERNAL TESTING SERVICE Some invited testers participate through Testers14, a separately operated paid testing service. We may receive its activity reports, device information, bug reports and written feedback through its dashboard. These are provider reports; this game version does not send it attendance or gameplay telemetry. Participation in that service is separate from ordinary play. Its own notices and terms govern information testers provide to it. An activity entry is not an independent guarantee of gameplay, continued Play opt-in or eligibility. Reports and feedback are used to assess testing coverage and improve the game, not to require favorable reviews. OLDER BUILDS AND EXISTING TESTER DATA Earlier connected tester builds and the separate web hub used Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore for accounts, private messages and optional activity summaries. The limited Play access check remains in this version, separately from those removed account and tracking features. Those historical practices, including data fields, local credentials, withdrawal limits and provider retention, remain described in the preserved notice: https://chaos-among-us.github.io/oreniq-games-site/lantern-rovers/legacy-connected.html Installing this gameplay-only version stops its former account, inbox and tracking features; it does not delete a cloud account, previously uploaded records, exports, backups or data held by Google. It does not update an older copy installed on another device. Legacy local files may remain in private app storage; this version does not use them to reconnect or upload queued activity. Existing tester accounts and data requests remain accessible through the separate legacy hub: https://chaos-among-us.github.io/oreniq-games-site/lantern-rovers/testers/ You may use that hub to review or download your information, withdraw activity sharing for older connected copies, or request deletion. You may instead email Oreniqgames@gmail.com with the subject 'Lantern Rovers data request'. Send from the account email when possible; do not send identity documents. Activity-only deletion can be requested while keeping the account and feedback. Removing this app or turning off sharing does not delete earlier server data. RETENTION AND SECURITY Existing tester accounts, profiles, messages and activity summaries remain subject to owner-managed deletion no later than 90 days after the test ends, or earlier upon an account holder's deletion request. A resumable deletion flow may report pending work; do not assume completion before it confirms removal. A minimal random account identifier and deletion time may remain for up to 90 days after account deletion to prevent stale sessions recreating the account. Provider backup and security-log schedules, independent exports and device backups remain separate. Existing exchange notes follow the earlier notice's 90-day exchange limit and requested-account cleanup. No existing retention promise is extended by this update. Support correspondence and external test reports are kept only as needed to address the issue, conduct the test and meet applicable obligations. You can request access, correction or deletion through the contact above. We do not sell tester information or use it for targeted advertising. Access to private tester records is limited to the authorized test owner. No storage or transmission method is completely secure. WEBSITE AND PROVIDERS Our static legal pages and legacy hub are hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub may process IP addresses and request information to operate and secure the website. The pages do not add web analytics. The legacy connected hub uses Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore under the preserved notice; opening this game does not open or sign in to that hub. The limited access check communicates with Google Play as described above. Your chosen email or sharing app, Google Play, GitHub and Testers14 have their own privacy practices.

You may have additional privacy rights where you live. Material future changes to collection will be explained before the new collection begins. Current privacy, terms and support information is available in Settings > Privacy, terms & credits and on our website.
