Midnight Kitchen Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-11-02

1. About this policy

Midnight Kitchen (the "Game") is provided by 胡惠唐 ("we"). This policy explains what data the Game collects, why, and what choices you have. The Game is a single-player game that needs no account; your progress is stored on your own device by default, and you may optionally sign in with Apple or Google to back it up to the cloud.

2. Data we collect

Data collection depends on the feature: startup checks use an installation ID; interactions and system diagnostics are uploaded only with analytics consent; account identifiers and cloud saves are used only after optional sign-in. HTTP connections also produce security records (IP address, User-Agent, request time and result) to prevent abuse and operate the service. These records are retained for 30 days independently of analytics consent.

Startup and analytics records are associated with an installation ID and may be linked to your player ID after sign-in. We do not use them for cross-app or cross-site tracking or combine them with other companies’ data for advertising.

Whether or not you agree to analytics, each time the Game starts it sends our game platform server a randomly generated installation ID, the platform (iOS / Android / web) and the Game version, to find out whether maintenance is in progress or an update is required. The ID is just a random number, not an advertising identifier or hardware serial number, may be linked to your player ID after sign-in and is not used for cross-app tracking. On iOS it is stored in the system Keychain and on Android it is the app-scoped identifier provided by the system (ANDROID_ID); it stays the same after reinstalling and is not used for cross-app tracking. If the server cannot be reached the Game stays fully playable. Only after you agree to analytics do we also attach system and language information and upload the in-game interactions above (levels, purchases, item use, stardust changes).

We do not collect your name, phone number, contacts, photos, precise location or advertising identifier. This version contains no advertising.

3. Your choices and consent

When you first open the Game we explain how data is used and let you choose separately whether to agree to analytics. If you decline, the Game remains fully playable and no analytics events are sent (at startup the Game still sends the functional random installation ID, platform and version described above). You can change your choice at any time in Settings.

Wherever you live, we always ask first and the default is "not agreed"; we do not start any analytics service until you actively agree.

4. Game progress and cloud backup

Your level progress, stardust, settings and purchase records are stored on your device and the Game works offline. We add an integrity check to detect corrupted saves.

If you choose to sign in with Apple or Google in Settings, our game platform server verifies the sign-in credential that Apple or Google provides and creates a player ID from the user identifier they issue (we do not ask for your name and do not store your email address), and stores your game progress backup on our server. These two items are linked to your player ID and are used only to restore your progress on a new device; they are not used for tracking or advertising and are not shared with third parties. Sign in with the same account to restore. Signing in and backing up are optional: the game works fully without them, and signing out does not delete the cloud backup.

5. In-app purchases

Purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. The store keeps your payment information; we never receive your card or payment details. We only learn from the store that a transaction has completed and grant the items accordingly.

6. Third-party services

The Game uses the following kinds of third-party services:

Each of these services has its own privacy policy; please see their official documentation.

7. Retention and deletion

Startup, analytics and diagnostics records are kept only as long as needed for the purposes above. API request metadata is retained for 30 days and does not include sign-in credentials or save contents.

You can go to Settings → "Delete my data" at any time to remove your local save, your shared game-platform account and its cloud saves across all games, associated launch and event records, and records not yet sent; the game platform's random installation ID is kept so the same device can be recognised. Purchase records are kept by the store and do not disappear; after reinstalling you can use "Restore purchases" to get your non-consumable items back. If you cannot get into the Game, you can also request deletion by email as described on the "Delete account and data" page.

8. Children

The Game is intended for players aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13 and do not participate in child-directed or family programs. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR, California CCPA/CPRA or Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act) you may have the right to access, obtain a copy of, correct or delete your data, or withdraw consent. Most of this can be done inside the Game; for other requests please email us.

We do not sell your personal data.

10. International transfers

Game platform and cloud-save servers may be located outside your country or region. We only choose services that provide appropriate safeguards.

11. Changes to this policy

If we change what we collect or why, we will first update this policy and the in-game consent screen and, where required, ask for your consent again.
