Pocket Caper
Privacy policy
Pocket Caper keeps your game progress on your device. The game does not send gameplay data to Hest Studios automatically.
This policy applies specifically to Pocket Caper, named Çifte Plan in Turkish, and its support pages. The developer is Tolga HACIZEKERIYAOGLU, publishing as Hest Studios. For this game, this policy takes precedence over general Hest Studios policies that describe other games.
Data on your device
The app stores game progress, earned stars, planned routes, generated puzzle history, tutorial completion, language and accessibility preferences locally. These records allow you to continue playing and keep your settings. The app does not operate a server or cloud account for this data and does not transmit it to us.
Deleting the app removes its app-container data from the device. Copies may remain in device backups according to your Apple settings; backup management is separate from the game.
No advertising or automatic analytics
The current version has no advertising SDK, third-party analytics SDK, tracking, account registration or in-app purchase system. It does not access the advertising identifier or ask for contact, photo, microphone or location access. We do not sell game data or use it for targeted advertising.
If you contact support
When you email heststudios@gmail.com, we receive your email address and the message and attachments you choose to send. We use this information to answer your request and investigate the issue. Our email provider processes the correspondence to deliver and store it. Please share only information needed for your request.
We keep support correspondence only for as long as needed to handle the request and related troubleshooting, or to meet applicable legal obligations. You can ask us to delete information you have sent.
Optional playtest records
A separately launched, observer-led testing mode can record routes, timing, attempts, help use and observer notes in a local session file after the participant’s consent is confirmed. This mode is not active during normal play. It does not request a participant’s name or contact details and does not upload its records automatically. A participant or observer can choose to share the file manually. We use voluntarily shared records to evaluate and improve the game and keep them only while needed for that purpose.
Apple and TestFlight
Apple separately handles downloads, device backups and platform diagnostics under its own policies. If you test the game through TestFlight, Apple automatically collects crash logs and beta usage information and shares them with us; feedback you submit through TestFlight is also shared with us. Depending on how you were invited, this may include your name and email address. We use beta information to investigate issues and improve the game, not for advertising, and do not share TestFlight information with third parties. We retain it only while needed for testing and issue resolution. See TestFlight & Privacy and Apple’s Privacy Policy.
These web pages
The Pocket Caper support and privacy pages use no analytics scripts, advertising cookies, embedded trackers or external font services. GitHub Pages hosts these pages and may process basic technical request information, such as your IP address, to serve and secure them. See GitHub’s Privacy Statement.
Your choices and requests
Local game information stays under your device’s control. For access, correction or deletion requests relating to support messages or playtest information you shared with us, email heststudios@gmail.com. We handle requests in line with applicable data protection law. The app’s local-only gameplay data practices apply to players of all ages; we do not knowingly solicit personal information from children.
Changes and contact
If the game’s data practices change, we will update this page and its effective date. Privacy questions can be sent to heststudios@gmail.com.
