Privacy Policy
TKG (Tamago Kake Gohan) ("we") sets out below how user information is handled in the games we publish (the "Games") and on our website (together, the "Services").
1. Scope
This policy applies to the following Services:
- Website: www.tkgsoft.com
- Game "Hanafuda Solitaire" — app version (iOS / Android), Steam version, and browser version (demo, hanafuda.tkgsoft.com)
2. Games (app and Steam versions)
The app and Steam versions of the Games do not collect any personal information. No account is required, and there are no ads or in-app purchases.
- Save data (progress, settings, win counts) is stored only on your device and is never sent to us. It may be copied off the device by OS backup features (iCloud Backup, Android Backup, Steam Cloud); such copies are governed by the respective platform's terms.
- The Games do not communicate with any server operated by us.
- The "Share" feature only hands a result string and a link to the OS share sheet. You choose the destination; we are not involved.
- Achievements and statistics in the Steam version are processed by Valve Corporation through the Steam client, under the Steam Privacy Policy.
- Crash reports and usage statistics provided by iOS or Android are collected by Apple or Google only to the extent you have consented in your OS settings, and are provided to us only in anonymized, aggregated form.
3. Website and browser versions of the Games
3.1 Analytics
The website and the browser versions (including the one published on itch.io) use the following two analytics services to understand usage.
Cloudflare Web Analytics
The following information is sent from your device to Cloudflare, Inc.:
- Information sent: page URL, referrer URL, browser and OS type, screen size, country/region, page load timing
- Recipient: Cloudflare, Inc. (Privacy Policy)
- Purpose: understanding visit counts and usage environments, improving page performance
Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies and does not collect personally identifiable information. IP addresses are not stored.
Google Analytics
The following information is sent from your device to Google LLC:
- Information sent: a random identifier stored in a cookie, page URL and title, referrer URL, browser and OS type, screen size, language, approximate location, and a record of game actions (starting a game, finishing a game, opening a store link, and similar)
- Recipient: Google LLC (Google Privacy Policy, How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services)
- Purpose: understanding how visitors arrive (which referral or ad brought them) and how the Services are used, and improving the Services
- How to opt out: use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, disable cookies in your browser, or turn on Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser
We do not use the advertising features of Google Analytics (Google signals and ad personalization), and we do not use the data to identify individuals. Google Analytics is not loaded on devices that appear to be in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland (judged by the device's time zone).
3.2 Embedded videos
The game pages of the website (www.tkgsoft.com/en/hanafuda and the Japanese version) show the trailer in an embedded YouTube player, in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). The pages also load YouTube's player API script from www.youtube.com when they are displayed, so a request reaches Google (YouTube) even if the video is not played.
- Information sent: when the player loads and plays, access information such as your IP address, browser information and the URL of the embedding page is sent. When you play the video, information about your viewing may be recorded using cookies or similar technologies
- Recipient: Google LLC (YouTube; Google Privacy Policy)
- Purpose: delivering the trailer video
3.3 Server access logs
The website and the browser versions are served by Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may temporarily process access logs, including IP addresses, in the course of serving content.
4. Contact and feedback
- Email addresses and message contents you send us are used only to respond to your inquiry and to improve the Services.
- The in-game "Feedback" feature uses Google Forms. The form does not collect email addresses and responses are anonymous. The form is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
5. Beta tester recruitment
When we recruit participants for pre-release testing (beta tests), we collect the following information through Google Forms.
- Information collected: your email address, your Google account if you take part on Android, a URL that identifies you (such as a social media profile or blog), the environments you can test on (device type, OS version, display language, etc.), the name and link you would like listed in the credits if you choose to be credited, and any other answers you give in the form
- Purposes: selecting participants, contacting you about the test, providing test builds and keys for the released game (including our future titles), and listing you in the credits
- To provide test builds, we may register your email address or Google account with Apple (TestFlight) and Google (Google Play testing).
- Only the name and link you choose are listed in the credits.
- If Discord is used to contact you during the test, information on Discord is governed by the Discord Privacy Policy.
- We delete this information once these purposes have been fulfilled, or when you ask us to. To request deletion, please use the contact address at the end of this policy.
6. Disclosure to third parties
We do not disclose your information to third parties except for the registration for test distribution described above, or as required by law.
7. Children
The Services may be used at any age. We do not collect any information beyond what is described above, regardless of age.
8. Changes to this policy
Changes to this policy will be published on this page. Significant changes will be announced within the Services.
