Privacy Policy

Summary

We designed Hallucination to minimize data collection:

• We do not operate servers. All game progress, settings, and purchase state are stored locally on your device.
• We do not create user accounts. No sign-up, no login, no profile.
• We do not use analytics or crash reporting SDKs.
• The only third party that collects data through the App is Google AdMob, and only when advertisements are displayed.
• If you purchase Remove Ads ($2.99), no advertising data is collected at all.

Information Eighth Ventures Does Not Directly Collect

Eighth Ventures LLC does not directly collect, store, or transmit to our systems any information about you, including:

• Your name, email address, or contact information
• Account credentials (the App has no user accounts)
• Your physical location or GPS data
• Your device's contacts, photos, calendar, or microphone
• Your browsing history or data from other apps
• Any personally identifiable information

All game data is stored locally on your device using iOS's standard UserDefaults system. This data never leaves your device through our systems. If you uninstall the App, all locally stored data is removed from your device.

Information Collected by Third Parties

Two third-party services used by the App collect limited information. We disclose this below for full transparency.

Apple (In-App Purchases and App Store)

Hallucination offers one optional in-app purchase, Remove Ads ($2.99 USD, one-time, non-consumable). This purchase is processed entirely by Apple through the App Store using StoreKit.

Apple handles all payment processing. We do not receive your Apple ID, payment information, name, or any other identifying details from Apple. We receive only the StoreKit transaction verification necessary to grant your purchase entitlement, which is then stored locally on your device.

Apple's handling of your purchase and device identity is governed by the Apple Privacy Policy.

Google AdMob (Advertising)

For users who have not purchased Remove Ads, Hallucination displays rewarded video advertisements and banner advertisements through Google AdMob.

Google AdMob may collect:

Google's ad servers receive traffic during ad requests. The domains involved are disclosed in the App's privacy manifest and include googleads.g.doubleclick.net, googleadservices.com, googlesyndication.com, googletagmanager.com, googletagservices.com, googleusercontent.com, and doubleclick.net.

We do not receive this data from AdMob. We receive only aggregated reporting about ad performance and revenue through the AdMob publisher dashboard.

Google's data practices are described in the Google Privacy Policy and AdMob's policies.

App Tracking Transparency

Hallucination uses Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework to request your permission before allowing AdMob to use your Advertising Identifier (IDFA) for personalized advertising. The ATT prompt appears after the first-run welcome screen.

The purpose string shown in the ATT prompt is: "This identifier will be used to show you ads that are more relevant to you."

If you deny this request, the App continues to function normally. AdMob will serve non-personalized ads instead of personalized ones. You may change your decision at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

Your Choices Regarding Advertising

You have several options to control advertising in the App:

• Decline tracking via the ATT prompt. AdMob will serve non-personalized ads and your IDFA will not be used to track you across apps.
• Limit tracking device-wide. Go to iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking and toggle "Allow Apps to Request to Track" off. You can also reset your Advertising Identifier in iOS Settings.
• Purchase Remove Ads. This one-time $2.99 purchase eliminates all advertising in the App permanently for your device. No ads means no advertising-related data collection.

What We Store Locally on Your Device

For full transparency, the App stores the following data locally via iOS UserDefaults:

This data never leaves your device through our systems. We have no server that receives or stores any of it.

Children's Privacy

Hallucination is rated 12+ on the Apple App Store. The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect any information from children. Because Eighth Ventures LLC does not directly collect personal information from any user, Hallucination complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by design at our layer.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has somehow had information collected through use of the App, please contact us at [email protected] and we will assist as we are able.

Your Rights

Because Eighth Ventures LLC does not directly collect personal information, most data-subject rights under GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, and similar privacy laws do not apply to our handling of your data — we have none.

However:

• Access and deletion. All App data is on your device. You can access it by using the App or delete it by uninstalling.
• Opt out of advertising-related tracking. Use the ATT prompt, iOS Settings, or purchase Remove Ads.

California residents (CCPA / CPRA)

We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act. We have no personal information to disclose, delete, or correct because we do not collect any.

EU and UK residents (GDPR / UK GDPR)

Google AdMob uses a Consent Management Platform to request your consent for personalized advertising in EU/UK jurisdictions. This is AdMob's own compliance flow. Eighth Ventures LLC processes no personal data itself.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, surface notice within the App.

Your continued use of the App after the "Last updated" date changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
