Lightsoft provides Buy the world, a game about fictional coins and virtual territory purchases. This policy describes the game on iOS and Android and this support website. Game support is available at contact@lightsoft.dev. Our privacy contact is zimin.byun@lightsoft.dev.
1. Your game progress
Your virtual balance, coins, choices, results, purchased territories, statistics, receipt history, and sound setting are stored in the app's local WebView storage. The game has no Lightsoft account registration or Lightsoft cloud-save service. We do not upload this game history to a Lightsoft server.
Your operating system's backup or device-transfer features may include app data, depending on your device and settings. These features are separate from a Lightsoft cloud-save service.
2. Loading and securing the game
The app loads its game code, artwork, fonts, and map assets over HTTPS from Cloudflare Pages. This support website is also hosted by Cloudflare Pages. Requests involve technical network information such as your IP address, requested resource, browser or device information included in the request, and request timing.
Cloudflare processes network information to deliver and secure its services, and retains network and security information for operating and improving its network. Its handling and retention of service and security data follow Cloudflare's Privacy Policy. We do not promise that all such processing ends when an individual request finishes.
The current game does not include developer-installed advertising, behavioral analytics, or crash-reporting SDKs. Cloudflare Web Analytics is not enabled for the game or this support site. We do not receive your country searches, choices, virtual balances, or receipt archive through a game server.
3. Receipt sharing
When you share a receipt, the app creates a PNG on your device and opens the operating system's share sheet. You choose the receiving app or destination. The app attempts to delete its temporary cached copy when the share action finishes. A copy you save or send is controlled by the destination you choose. Sharing does not upload the receipt to Lightsoft.
4. Optional platform game services
On iOS: the app attempts to connect to Apple's Game Center when it loads and may show Apple's sign-in screen. You can continue playing without completing sign-in. If you are signed in, the native app reads your Game Center authentication status, display name, and game-specific player identifier to show your connection state and open Apple's Game Center dashboard. These values are passed to the game interface on your device; we do not send them to a Lightsoft backend or use them for cross-platform saves.
The current game does not submit your virtual balance, country collection, receipts, leaderboard scores, or achievements to Game Center. Apple operates Game Center and handles service information under its own policies. See Game Center & Privacy for Apple's practices and controls.
On Android: Google Play Games sign-in is not enabled in version 1.0.0 (build 2). This version does not sign you into Play Games, access your player profile, or send scores or achievements through that service. We will update this policy and the relevant disclosures if that changes.
5. Purchases
Buy the world is a paid download. The game has no advertisements, in-app purchases, or subscriptions. Apple or Google handles your app-store purchase under its own policies; the game does not request payment-card details. All in-game balances, coins, and purchases are fictional and cannot be exchanged for money or cryptocurrency.
6. External links and support
The receipt's educational risk link and privacy links open external websites. The destination's privacy practices apply when you choose to visit it.
If you email Lightsoft for support, we receive your email address and the information you choose to send so that we can respond to your inquiry. Please do not include payment-card details or sensitive personal information in support messages.
7. Retention and deletion
Local game records remain in app storage until you clear that storage or it is removed by the operating system. Starting a new run does not delete your receipt archive. On Android, clear Buy the world's app storage in system Settings. On iPhone, delete the app rather than offloading it to remove local app data. Copies you export and any system backups must be managed separately, including backups that may restore app data.
For support correspondence, Lightsoft's published policy is to destroy personal information without undue delay once the collection and use purpose has been fulfilled, unless retention is legally required. Where applicable, its policy retains consumer complaint or dispute records for three years; this is not a fixed retention period for every game-related email. These criteria and our rights-request process are described in Lightsoft's company privacy policy.
Cloudflare retains service and security information according to the purposes and legal obligations in its privacy policy. Apple separately controls retention of Game Center service information. This policy does not assign an unverified fixed retention period to either provider.
8. Your choices and requests
You may request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of processing by emailing zimin.byun@lightsoft.dev. Lightsoft handles these requests without undue delay, subject to applicable legal requirements. We cannot remotely erase your local app storage, operating-system backups, or copies you have exported to another service. There is no Lightsoft game account to delete.
You can manage Game Center sign-in and privacy preferences in Apple's system settings. The game remains playable without Game Center sign-in.
9. Policy changes
We will update this policy when the game's data practices change. The date above identifies the latest version. Contact zimin.byun@lightsoft.dev for privacy questions or contact@lightsoft.dev for game support.
