Pre-release version.Mochi Mayhem has not been released yet. This page describes how the game is designed to handle information. It will be finalised, with the publisher's legal details, before release.
For parents
Mochi Mayhem is made for players of all ages and for families. This page tells you what your player's game sends, what it never sends, and how you stay in control. The full details are in our privacy policy.
What the game never sends
- A name, an email address, or anything typed. The game has no keyboard and no chat.
- A player's age or birthday. The game never asks for it.
- Photos, contacts or location.
- Advertising IDs, or IDs for the device or the install.
- Payment details.
There are no accounts, nothing players can post, and no way for players to talk to each other.
What the game can send
| What | When | Who controls it |
|---|---|---|
| Online Gumbot: a few rounded facts about the level, so an online AI service can pick one of the tricks our team wrote | During levels, while Online Gumbot is on | Anyone can switch it off. Switching it back on needs the grown-up check. |
| Play summaries: how levels went, to help us improve the game | At the end of each level, only if a grown-up switched them on | Off unless you switch them on in Parents' Corner. |
| Technical details the advertising partner needs to show an ad | When an ad is shown | Ads are never personalized. A Remove Ads purchase stops the ads between levels. |
| Requests for new game content, such as Daily Challenges | When the game fetches new content | Nothing about the player is sent. |
The game plays fully offline. With Online Gumbot off, Gumbot makes every choice on the device and follows the same Candy Rules.
What we use the internet address for
Some laws treat a device's internet address as personal information. The game uses it only for these everyday tasks, which keep the game working:
- connecting to our servers;
- keeping the game secure and stopping abuse;
- delivering game content;
- Gumbot's choices during a level, when Online Gumbot is on;
- showing ads that are not personalized, and limiting how often they appear.
Our servers hold the internet address for no more than 24 hours and never pass it on. We don't use it to build a profile of anyone, to track anyone, or to contact anyone.
Ads and purchases
The game is free to play, with ads and optional purchases.
- Ads will come from one family-safe advertising partner, named here before the game shows any ads. They are not personalized. We tell it to treat every player as a possible child.
- Rewarded ads play only when the player taps a labelled button, for example to continue after a lost level or for a bonus reward.
- Ads between levels start from level 4, are limited in how often they appear, and never appear in the first session or during a level. There are no banner ads.
- Every purchase asks for a grown-up check first: a short sum to solve. The game never asks for an age.
- Purchases go through Apple or Google. We never see payment details.
- Every level can be won without buying anything. Gumbot never sells anything.
Parents' Corner
Parents' Corner is in the game's Settings, behind the grown-up check. In it you can:
- Read how we handle data, and open this website's privacy policy.
- Play summaries: switch "Share play summaries" on or off, and see exactly what is sent. Switching it off deletes anything waiting to be sent.
- Online Gumbot: switch it on or off, and see what it sends.
- Purchases: restore purchases. Every purchase asks for the grown-up check.
- Players: reset or delete a player's profile, or delete everything the game keeps on the device.
- Help: email support, or open this website.
- About: the game's age rating in your store, the game's version, and a note on how the game uses an online AI service.
Your choices as a parent
At any time, you can:
- switch off play summaries and Online Gumbot;
- delete a player's profile, or everything the game keeps on the device;
- ask us what we hold and ask us to delete it;
- tell us not to collect anything more.
Most of what we receive is not linked to any person, so we usually can't find one player's information. It is deleted automatically: play summaries within 90 days, and the internet address within 24 hours. Your data explains how to ask.
