Privacy Policy — First Principles

Last updated: March 22, 2026

This page mirrors the repository root privacy-policy.md. Update both when the policy changes.

This policy describes how the First Principles mobile app (the “App”) handles information when you install and use it. The App is developed by Orch Aerospace (John Wonmo Seong) and Game Genesis (Rayan Kaissi). By using the App, you agree to this policy.

If anything here conflicts with Apple App Store or Google Play terms, the store terms apply for distribution and payments.

Summary

The App is designed to work without an account and without you entering personal data into our screens. We keep a few settings on your device only (see below). We do not sell your personal information.

Information stored on your device

The App may save non-sensitive preferences using the platform’s local storage (PlayerPrefs on Unity builds), for example:

  • Language choice (so the UI stays in the locale you picked)
  • Optional cosmetic settings (e.g. player glyph), if you change them in the App

This data stays on your device unless the operating system backs it up according to your phone or tablet settings (e.g. iCloud or Google backup). We do not operate a login system or cloud sync for this data in the App as shipped in this repository.

Deleting the App usually removes local app data; use your device settings if you want to clear app data without uninstalling (where the OS allows).

Information we do not intentionally collect

In the current open-source project configuration, the App does not include third-party advertising SDKs, social logins, or in-app analytics packages that send us your usage profile. We do not ask for your name, email, phone number, or precise location inside the App.

If a future store build adds features such as analytics, ads, or accounts, this policy will be updated before those features ship, and store listings will be updated as required.

Platform providers and the game engine

When you download the App from a store or run it on a device:

  • Apple or Google may process information under their own policies (e.g. purchases, crash diagnostics you opt into, device identifiers for the store).
  • The App is built with the Unity engine. Unity and your device OS may process technical or diagnostic data according to Unity’s legal notices and your system settings.

We do not control those third parties; please read their policies if you need detail.

Children’s privacy

The App is an educational / math-learning game. It is not intended to collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently received information from a child that we should delete, contact us (see below) and we will take reasonable steps to respond.

Your rights (EEA, UK, California, and similar regions)

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain personal data, or to object to processing. Because the App generally does not send personal data to our servers, there is often nothing for us to access or delete on our side beyond what you control on your device and through the store.

For requests related to store accounts or payments, contact Apple or Google as applicable.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Material changes may also be noted on the repository or store listing.

Contact

For privacy questions about First Principles, contact the developers through the support channel or repository linked from your App Store / Google Play listing, or via the project’s public GitHub page if listed there.

(Add a dedicated support email here when you have one. For App Store Connect / Play Console, use the stable URL of this page after GitHub Pages is enabled — e.g. https://gamegenesis.github.io/First-Principles/privacy-policy/ when baseurl matches this repo.)
