Privacy Policy for Alicia’s Piano Room
Alicia’s Piano Room (“the game”) is made by Latom LLC (“we”), which publishes on Google Play as Siege and Sickle. This policy explains what happens to information when you play the game on Android.
The short version
- Latom LLC does not run any servers for the game and does not receive your game save, your player names or your scores.
- The game keeps its save on your device.
- Three optional parts are provided by Google, under Google’s privacy policy: purchases through Google Play, Google Play Games (leaderboards, achievements and cloud save), and reward videos from Google AdMob.
- Reward videos only play when you choose to watch one. Where the law requires it, the game asks for your consent before any video loads.
- Reminders are off unless you turn them on. Android schedules and shows them on your device.
- We never see your payment details.
What the game saves on your device
So you can pick up where you left off, the game saves the player names you type, your Notes, scores and marks, room choices, Music Box prizes, purchases you have made, settings and other game progress. This is stored in the game’s storage on your device. It stays there until you remove a player in the game, clear the game’s data in your device’s settings or uninstall the game.
Purchases (Google Play)
You can buy Notes, room sets and a Supporter pack in the game’s Shop. Payment is handled entirely by Google Play. Google gives us an order record (such as the item, price, country and an order number) so we can handle refunds, taxes and accounting. We never receive your card or bank details. The game uses Google Play to check which one-time purchases you own so it can restore them after a reinstall. Google’s handling of payments is covered by the Google Payments privacy notice.
Google Play Games
If your device is signed in to Google Play Games, the game uses it for leaderboards, achievements and a cloud save. Only the first player on the device posts scores and achievements, under the Google Play Games profile signed in on that device. Your gamer name and avatar may be shown on leaderboards according to your Google Play Games profile settings. The cloud save holds a copy of the game’s save (every player on the device) in your Google Play Games account so it can be restored on another device. Google stores this data; Latom LLC cannot read your cloud save. You can delete Google Play Games data, including saved games, from your Play Games profile or your Google Account.
Reward videos (Google AdMob)
The Shop offers short videos you can choose to watch for a few Notes. These are served by Google AdMob. When the Shop loads a video, the Google Mobile Ads SDK collects and shares, for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention, your device’s IP address (which can indicate a general location), your Android advertising ID and app set ID, interactions with the ads, and diagnostic information about the app and the SDK. Ads are limited to content suitable for teens. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, and wherever else the law requires it, the game shows Google’s consent form first, and you can change your choice at any time under Settings, Ad privacy choices. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device’s settings. Supporter pack owners outside Belgium can claim the video rewards without watching a video.
Reminders
From version 1.3.0, the game can remind you when a daily gift is ready. Reminders are off unless you turn them on in Settings, or say yes when the game offers them once, after your third daily gift. On Android 13 and newer, Android then asks whether the game may show notifications. While reminders are on, the game asks Android to show at most one a day, at the hour you pick, only on a day you have not opened the game yet, and never at night. Android schedules and shows them on your device, and nothing about them is sent to Latom LLC. You can turn them off in the game’s Settings or in your device’s notification settings.
Sharing a result
After you play Today’s key in the Ragebait Dungeon, Share result opens your device’s share menu with a short text: the game’s name, the date, a row of colored squares, your counts and a link to the game’s Google Play page. It does not include your player name or the day’s key. Nothing is sent unless you pick an app to send it with, and it is never sent to us.
Rating the game
After a good run, the game may ask Google Play to show its rating card, at most three times and no more than once every 60 days. Settings also has a Rate button that opens the game’s Google Play page. Ratings and reviews are handled by Google Play under Google’s privacy policy, and the game is not told whether you rated it or what you wrote.
Device backups
Android can back up apps to your Google account so they can be restored on a new device. If backup is turned on for your device, Android may include the game’s save in that backup. The backup is made and stored by Google under Google’s privacy policy, and Latom LLC never receives it.
Children
The game is meant for players 13 and older and is not directed at children under 13. Player names typed into the game stay on the device (and in the cloud save, if you use it) and are never sent to us. A player or parent can delete them at any time: remove the player on the Family scoreboard screen, clear the game’s data in the device’s settings, uninstall the game, or delete saved games from the Play Games profile.
Internet, permissions and device features
The game plays offline. It uses the internet only for Google Play purchases, Google Play Games, reward videos and Google Play’s rating card. The Android app asks for the internet permission, the Google Play billing permission and the advertising ID permission that the Google Mobile Ads SDK adds. From version 1.3.0 it also asks for permission to show notifications, only when you turn reminders on. It can use the device’s vibration for a short tick on each hit, which you can turn off in Settings, and it keeps the screen on while a song is playing. It does not use your location services, camera, microphone, contacts, photos or files.
Other companies
The only other company involved is Google, through Google Play, Google Play Games and Google AdMob. Google’s privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy, and how Google uses information from apps that use its services is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. The game contains no other advertising or analytics software.
