Quiet Bay: Jigsaw Memories privacy policy

Who we are

Quiet Bay: Jigsaw Memories (“Quiet Bay”) is made by ShadeTap, an independent game studio. In this policy, “we” and “us” mean ShadeTap.

What the game stores

Quiet Bay saves your progress on your phone, with a backup copy: the missions you've finished, the puzzle you're assembling (where each piece lies, the view and how long you've played it), the objects you've found and placed in the bay, the radio signals you've received, your settings (the language and the text size too), which tips you've seen and whether you've seen the ending. The save also holds the time you first played and a random ID made on your phone; neither identifies you or your device. If neither the save nor its backup can be read and you choose to start over, the game keeps the damaged files aside on your phone instead of deleting them.

To time the radio signals, the game reads your phone's date and keeps the day numbers it has seen. It also reads your phone's language to choose its own, unless you pick one in Settings.

This test version has an “Event log (QA)” switch in Settings, off by default. When it's on, the game writes a play log on your phone, each line with its time: when you open or leave the game, start or finish a puzzle, join pieces, use a hint or the preview, answer a map or wiring clue (right or wrong), start a puzzle again, open the bay, get or place an object, when a radio signal becomes available or you start one, when a save is recovered, and every few seconds how smoothly the game runs (frames per second, frame time, memory and draw calls). It stays on your phone and is never sent.

This test version also keeps a small file with the board's position on the screen, for our testing tools.

This data stays on your device. There's no account, no cloud save and no server, so nothing is sent to us or anyone else.

What we don't collect

Quiet Bay doesn't collect personal information or device identifiers, and it doesn't track you.

It contains no advertising, analytics services or crash-reporting tools and makes no network connections. The only permission it asks Android for is vibration.

Purchases

The current version has no in-app purchases, no ads and no currency.

Children

Quiet Bay collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

If you contact us

If you email us about Quiet Bay, we receive your email address and whatever you include, such as device details, screenshots or a screen recording. We use it only to answer you and fix the problem, we don't share it, and we delete it when you ask or once it's no longer needed.

Your choices

Uninstalling the game removes everything it stored on your phone, the play log included. Android backup is turned off for the game, so a reinstall starts fresh.

Changes to this policy

This policy describes the current version of Quiet Bay, an early test version for Android. If a future version changes what the game collects, we'll update this page before that version is released and change the date at the top.
