The iPhone game "Scoop and Serve" sends the following information from the user's device. Published under Article 27-12 of the Japanese Telecommunications Business Act. The Japanese version prevails.

The App contains no ads and no social media plug-ins. Its only third-party tools are Google Analytics for Firebase, which analyzes how the game is played, and Firebase Crashlytics, which collects reports of the App closing unexpectedly (section 2). It never sends location from the device's Location Services, contacts, photos or the advertising identifier (IDFA).

1. The Operator's server

Recipient: the server KeiConsulting runs on services of Cloudflare, Inc. Nothing sent identifies a person by itself, such as a name or email address. The "install ID" is a random value the App creates at its first launch and also attaches to purchases; the Operator links the information it receives by this ID (Privacy Policy, section 2). Like any connection, the IP address and device type reach Cloudflare; the Operator does not record them.

2. Google LLC (Google Analytics for Firebase, Firebase Crashlytics)

Service	Information sent	When	Purpose
Google Analytics for Firebase	In-app activity: launches, screens, level starts and results (level number, play time, customers served and the like), shop and purchase steps, purchase records (product and price) and other events the App records The app instance ID (a random value Firebase creates for each installation of the App) Device and app information (device model, OS version, language, app version and the like) The IP address that comes with the connection (Google derives an approximate region from it)	While the App is used (in batches)	To analyze statistically how the game is played and improve it
Firebase Crashlytics	The crash record (where the program was running, the error and the time) Device and app state (device model, OS and app versions, free memory and storage, orientation and the like) The Crashlytics installation UUID and the Firebase installation ID (random values created for each installation of the App) The in-app activity just before the crash (what is sent to Google Analytics) The IP address that comes with the connection	At the next launch after the App closed unexpectedly	To find out why the App closed and fix it

Outside Japan both are sent only after the App has asked and you allowed it, and both can be turned off in the App as section 8 of the Privacy Policy says. Nothing is sent from devices whose user answered under 13. The install ID, age band, year and month of birth, parental-consent answer, the advertising identifier (IDFA) and IDFV are never sent. The data is never used for advertising or for tracking with other companies' data. Google handles it under the Google Privacy Policy.

3. Apple Inc.

Service	Information sent	Purpose
App Store (in-app purchase)	What a purchase needs, plus the install ID attached to the purchase (appAccountToken, to match refund notifications with balance records)	Processing purchases and refunds
iCloud (key-value storage)	The save data (progress, coin balances and breakdown, purchase records, settings, age band, year and month of birth and the like)	Restoring after a device change or reinstall (when iCloud is on)

Apple handles this information under Apple's privacy policy. Notifications (such as "hearts are full") are created on the device and send nothing.
