Vumeli Privacy Notice

1. Information kept on the device

Vumeli stores companion names, family and species choices, appearance, care state, progress, skills, memories, lineage, Sanctuary layout, earned currency, settings, notification preferences, and owned appearance items locally so the game can save and resume the player's journey. Meritwright does not receive this ordinary gameplay data.

A player may enter a name for their companion. That text remains in the local game save and is not transmitted to Meritwright, an advertising provider, or another player.

2. Information Vumeli does not collect

Vumeli does not include advertising software, third-party analytics, tracking across apps, social sign-in, public profiles, automatic crash reporting, or messaging between players. Meritwright does not use Vumeli to collect precise location, contacts, photos, recordings, microphone input, camera images, or identifiers used for advertising.

3. App stores and optional purchases

Vumeli is planned as a paid download that includes the complete game. Optional fixed appearance items may be offered through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Apple or Google processes account, payment, receipt, refund, and purchase-restoration information under its own privacy terms. In plain terms, the applicable store handles the purchase and any request to restore it. Meritwright does not receive full payment-card details.

The applicable official store also manages ownership of the paid download. Vumeli does not use serial keys or require a separate Meritwright license account. Google Play licensing is planned to use Play Integrity, which allows Google to process app, signing, account-license, and device-integrity signals under Google's terms. Licensing checks do not include companion names, stories, saved game details, contacts, photos, precise location, microphone data, or user-created text. Temporary store or network unavailability does not erase local gameplay or require ordinary care and play to be online.

Vumeli stores only the purchase record needed to make an owned appearance item available in the Closet. Purchases, restoration, support, privacy links, and other external destinations require a parent or guardian check in the child-directed experience.

4. Device permissions and sharing

Local notifications are optional and requested only when a player or grown-up chooses to enable them. Notifications can be disabled in the game or device settings. Optional haptics use the device vibration feature. A share card created on the device leaves the app only after the player chooses to use the device's share menu.

5. Children and families

Vumeli is designed for a broad family audience and is planned to use age-appropriate safeguards. The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Core care, play, growth, and offline use do not require a child to provide an email address, real name, account, or location.

6. Player choices, retention, and deletion

Local gameplay information remains until the player uses Vumeli's confirmed erase option, clears the app's storage, or uninstalls the app. App-store purchase history remains controlled by Apple or Google and may be used to restore eligible purchases.

7. Security

Vumeli minimizes data exposure by keeping ordinary gameplay local and excluding unnecessary network services and sensitive permissions. Protected parent or guardian actions use supported device security features. Fingerprint or face data stays under the device's control and is not received or stored by Vumeli. No security measure can eliminate every risk, so players should keep their device protected and keep its software up to date.

8. Changes and contact

This notice will be reviewed against the final Google Play and Apple App Store mobile editions before commercial launch and updated if Vumeli's data practices change. The applicable store disclosures will describe the released version.
