4. Policy Statements

4.1 Data Collection

The Life Lab Android game operates entirely locally on your device. The app does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data (such as names, emails, IP addresses, location data, or device identifiers). We only save non-personal gameplay progress and high scores locally on your device via shared preferences.

4.2 Data Usage

Local data (high scores, tutorial states) is used solely to enhance your local gaming experience. No personal data is used or analyzed, as none is collected.

4.3 Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, rent, or distribute any personal data to third parties. Sharing gameplay stats (e.g., using the in-game share button) is initiated entirely by you and uses standard system share sheets locally.

4.4 Data Retention

Non-personal gameplay progress is stored locally on your device and will be retained until you clear the app cache, uninstall the game, or manually reset the score in settings.

4.5 Data Security

Although no personal data is collected or transmitted, we follow industry best practices to secure local storage configuration.

4.6 Data Subject Rights

As no personal data is collected, stored, or processed by Random Walk AI for Life Lab, rights such as deletion, rectification, or access are fully realized by uninstalling the application or resetting data locally.

4.7 Children's Privacy

Life Lab does not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

4.8 Breach Notification

Since the application processes no personal data and has no backend server storing user information, the risk of a personal data breach is non-existent. However, we maintain standard incident response protocols.

IT & Security Teams: Maintain security of systems and deployment pipelines.
