Privacy Policy
This policy covers our website (simplydreya.ca) and our apps: Vrakys (Android) and 42 each (Android and iOS). We are Simply Dreya Ltd., a small business in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. You can reach us at kyle@simplydreya.ca.
The short version
- Vrakys works offline and without signing in. Your character and chat data are only stored online if you sign in and use the online features. Crash reports are sent automatically to help us fix bugs.
- 42 each keeps your inventory data on your device. We don’t receive it.
- We don’t sell your information. Our current apps don’t show ads, though older iOS versions of 42 each may.
- You can ask us to delete your online Vrakys data at any time (how).
Vrakys
Playing offline
Your game progress is saved on your device. We don’t receive it unless you sign in and use the optional online features below, such as online backup. If you never sign in, the only information we receive is crash reporting data (see below).
Online features (optional)
Signing in with Google, joining a world, and chatting are optional. If you use them, this is what we receive and store:
- Sign-in. Google provides our backend (Firebase Authentication) with a unique user ID, plus the email address, display name, and profile picture linked to your Google account. We use the user ID to connect your data to you. We use your email only to sign you in and to identify you if you ask us to delete your data.
- Character and progress. When you use online features, your character’s name, stats (such as level), and in-game location are stored in our Firebase Realtime Database, along with other game data tied to your user ID. Other signed-in players can see some of this, such as your character and where you are.
- Online backup. Backups are optional. If you tap to save one, a copy of your character is stored under your user ID so you can restore it later. Only you can read it.
- Leaderboard. If you take part in the symbol-crafting challenge, your character name, best time, and accuracy are stored and shown on the leaderboard to other signed-in players.
- Ghosts. Other signed-in players can battle a computer-controlled “ghost” built from your character’s stats.
- Uploaded maps. If you design a map and upload it, it’s stored and other signed-in players can play it.
- Timed runs. When you finish a timed run, we store a record of it (the run type, your time, and your character’s stats). Only we see it, and we use it to see who has completed the game and to balance it. It isn’t shown to other players.
- World chat. A message you send goes through Firebase to players at your in-game location and to your friends. We keep only your most recent world chat message, not a history. Other players can see what you write, so please don’t share personal information in chat.
- Direct messages. A direct message waits in our database until the other player’s app next starts, and waiting messages are cleared at that point. We hold at most one waiting message per player. Direct messages aren’t end-to-end encrypted, and we can access the database, so please don’t share anything private in them.
- Blocking. You can block any player. Blocks are saved on your device, and you stop seeing that player’s messages.
Other services in Vrakys
- Bluetooth play (Google Nearby Connections). Lets players in the same room connect directly. Data passes between the devices and we don’t receive it. It needs Android’s nearby-device and Bluetooth permissions and, on some Android versions, location permission, which Android requires to discover nearby devices. Vrakys doesn’t collect or store your real-world location.
- Achievements (Google Play Games Services). Google processes your achievements under Google’s privacy policy.
- Subscriptions. Optional, and sold through Google Play. Google handles payment and we never see your payment details. We learn only whether a subscription is active.
- Crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics). If the app crashes, Google receives your device model, Android version, app version, a random installation ID, and information about what the app was doing when it crashed. We use this to fix bugs.
- Security checks (Firebase App Check and Play Integrity). Google checks that online requests come from a genuine copy of the app on a genuine device.
- Reminders. Notifications such as XP bonus reminders are scheduled on your device. Nothing about them is sent to us, and you can turn them off in Android settings.
Vrakys doesn’t show ads and doesn’t use analytics or advertising services.
42 each
- Your data stays on your device. Inventory counts, items, and reports are stored locally. Nothing is synced to us.
- Exports. When you tap “export my data”, the app creates a file on your device. You decide whether to keep it and where to upload or send it (for example, to a vendor). We never receive it.
- Subscriptions. Optional extra reports are sold through Google Play or the Apple App Store, which handle payment. We never see your payment details.
- Ads in older iOS versions. Older iOS versions of 42 each may show third-party ads. Ad providers may collect information about your device when you interact with an ad, under their own privacy policies. The current Android version has no ads.
- Future versions. We may add online features or crash reporting like those in Vrakys. We’ll update this policy before releasing them.
Website and Kim’s shop
- Website. Our website has no accounts, no analytics, and no advertising cookies from us. It’s hosted on Amazon Web Services, which may keep standard server logs (such as your IP address and the pages requested) for operation and security.
- Email. If you email us, we use your email address and message to reply, and keep the conversation as long as needed.
- Shop orders. Orders placed through Etsy are handled under Etsy’s privacy policy. We receive your name, address, and order details so we can make and ship your order. For custom orders by email, we use the details you send for the same purpose. We keep order records as long as Canadian tax and accounting rules require.
How we use and share information
We use information to run the features described above, fix crashes, keep players safe, answer your messages, and meet legal obligations. We don’t sell personal information or use it for advertising. We share it only with the providers that run these features (Google and Firebase, Etsy, Amazon Web Services, and the app stores), and when the law requires it or to protect someone’s safety.
If you’re in the EEA or UK, our legal bases are: providing the service you asked for, our legitimate interests in security and fixing crashes, and your consent for the optional online features. You can withdraw consent by signing out and asking us to delete your data.
Where data is stored and for how long
We’re based in Canada. Our providers (Google, Etsy, Amazon Web Services) may process data in Canada, the United States, and other countries. Vrakys online data is kept until you ask us to delete it. Crash reports are kept by Firebase for a limited period set by Google. Email and order records are kept as long as needed to answer you and meet record-keeping rules.
Your choices and rights
- Delete your data. Follow the steps on the delete data page. We aim to respond within 30 days.
- Access or correct your data. Email us and we’ll help.
- Stop sharing. If you don’t sign in to Vrakys, or you sign out, nothing is uploaded.
- Your legal rights. Depending on where you live, you may have rights under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA), the EU/UK GDPR, or other laws, including the right to complain to your local privacy regulator.
Children and teens
Our apps aren’t for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from them. If we learn that we have, we’ll delete it. If you’re under 18, please use Vrakys’s online features with a parent or guardian’s permission.
Security
We rely on Google’s infrastructure and its access controls to protect online data. No system is perfectly secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we’ll update the date above. For significant changes, we’ll also tell you in the app or on this site.
