Red Book: Tiger Save

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 August 2026 · Effective: 6 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Red Book: Tiger Save (the “App”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you use the App on your iPhone or iPad. Red Book: Tiger Save is a single-player conservation game in which you rebuild a fictional Red List of tiger subspecies. It is not a real wildlife registry, and it is not connected to any conservation authority.

1. Information stored on your device

Everything you create while playing is written to the App’s private storage area on your device and is not uploaded to us:

• Game progress — your saved ledger: registered individuals, subspecies grades, corridor layouts, studbook pairings, patrol results, season history and unlocked records.
• Stripe codes — a numeric fingerprint derived on-device from a photo you supply, used to tell one in-game tiger from another. The code cannot be turned back into the original picture.
• Captured and imported images — the frames you take with the camera or pick from your photo library for stripe registration or a keeper portrait.
• Preferences — sound, display and gameplay settings.

Deleting the App removes this data from your device. It is included in an encrypted device backup only if you have enabled backups yourself.

2. Camera and photo library

The App asks for camera access only when you start a stripe capture, and for photo library access only when you choose to import or export an image. iOS shows a permission prompt the first time; you can change or revoke these permissions at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security or in the App’s own settings page.

• Camera frames are processed on your device to produce a stripe code and, if you keep the shot, saved to the App’s private storage.
• We never upload your photos, and we do not scan your photo library. Only the specific images you select are read.
• Saving a capture back to your photo library happens only when you explicitly ask for it.

If you decline these permissions, the App remains fully playable — the stripe mechanic falls back to sample field images bundled with the App.

3. Information handled automatically

When the App starts, it makes a small network request to retrieve current configuration and policy content. To deliver that response and to keep the App stable, limited technical information is processed:

This information is technical and is not used to identify you personally. We do not use advertising identifiers (IDFA), we do not run third-party ad networks, and we do not track you across other apps or websites.

4. Service providers

We rely on a small number of infrastructure providers who process data strictly on our behalf:

• Apple — App Store distribution and, if you enable it, iCloud device backup. Apple may provide us with aggregate, non-identifying download and crash statistics. See Apple’s privacy policy.
• Google Firebase — hosting and application diagnostics used to keep the App running correctly. See Google’s privacy policy.

We do not sell or rent information to anyone, and we do not share it with data brokers.

5. Purchases

If the App offers paid content, the transaction is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see or store your payment card, billing address, or Apple Account credentials — we receive only Apple’s confirmation that a purchase succeeded.

6. Children

The App is suitable for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. There are no accounts, no chat, no user-to-user messaging, and no user-generated content shared with anyone else. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

7. Security

Game data is kept in the App’s sandboxed storage, protected by iOS file-level encryption and inaccessible to other apps. Network requests are made over encrypted HTTPS connections. No system is perfectly secure, but we limit exposure by collecting as little as possible in the first place.

8. Your rights and choices

• Delete everything — reset progress from within the App, or delete the App to erase all locally stored data.
• Withdraw permissions — revoke camera or photo access at any time in iOS Settings.
• Access, correction, objection, portability — where the GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA or a comparable law applies, you may exercise those rights by writing to us. Because we hold almost no data tied to an individual, we may need details that help us locate any record before we can act on a request.
• Complaints — you may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Where processing requires a legal basis under the GDPR, we rely on your consent (camera and photo library access) and on our legitimate interest in delivering a working, stable application (technical and diagnostic data).

9. International transfers

Our service providers may process technical data on servers outside your country, including in the United States. Where required, such transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the App evolves. The revised version will be published at this address with a new “Last updated” date. Material changes will be highlighted in the App. Continuing to use the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
