Tsoro Studios Games — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-09-01 · com.tsorostudios.emberdelve · com.tsorostudios.pyregrove · com.tsorostudios.emberwood

This policy covers every game published by Tsoro Studios (Tapiwa Makandigona). All of them are single-player and behave identically with regard to your data:

Emberdelve: Dice Roguelite (com.tsorostudios.emberdelve) — a turn-based dice roguelite dungeon crawl, on Google Play.
Pyregrove (com.tsorostudios.pyregrove) — a pixel action-platformer.
Emberwood / “Emberdelve v2” (com.tsorostudios.emberwood) — the earlier alpha builds of Pyregrove.

The short version: these apps collect no personal data. The only thing it can ever send is anonymous gameplay statistics, and only if you explicitly opt in — off by default, revocable any time in Settings.

Details

No personal data collected. No accounts, no names, no email addresses, no contacts, no location, no advertising identifiers, no free-text input.
Optional, opt-in gameplay analytics. On first launch the app asks whether you want to share anonymous gameplay statistics (which levels you play, whether you finish them, and which settings you use) to help us fix bugs and improve the game. Nothing is sent unless you tap “Allow”, and you can change your choice any time in Settings → “Gameplay analytics”. If you opt in, this data is processed on our behalf by Google Firebase Analytics. Ad personalization signals are disabled and the app never accesses the advertising ID.
No ads, no trackers, no data sales. The app contains no advertising SDKs and no third-party tracking beyond the optional analytics described above. We never sell or share data.
Local save data only. Your game progress (coins, unlocks, settings) is stored only in the app’s private storage on your device. Deleting the app deletes it. It never leaves your device.
Permissions. VIBRATE (optional in-game haptics) and INTERNET/ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE (used solely for the optional analytics above; if you never opt in, nothing is transmitted). The Google Analytics library also merges in several permissions of its own: WAKE_LOCK, RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED (shown by Google Play as “run at startup”), BIND_JOB_SERVICE, POST_NOTIFICATIONS, DUMP and a Play Store install-referrer binding. They are used by that library to schedule and batch uploads; the game itself sends no notifications and starts nothing at boot, and if you never opt in, nothing is transmitted at all. The advertising-ID permissions the library would normally add are removed from our build. No permission requires a runtime prompt.
Children. The app collects no personal data from anyone, including children. Analytics, when enabled, are anonymous gameplay statistics only.

Google Play data-safety summary

Question	Answer
Does the app collect or share user data?	Only optional, user-enabled anonymous app-interaction analytics (Firebase Analytics); no personal data; nothing shared with third parties for their own purposes
Is data collection optional?	Yes — off by default, opt-in, revocable in Settings
Data encrypted in transit?	Yes (when analytics are enabled)
Can users request data deletion?	Turning analytics off stops collection; uninstalling removes local saves. For analytics-data deletion requests, contact the developer via the Play listing

Changes & contact

If a future version ever changes any of the above (for example, optional cloud save), this policy will be updated first and the change called out in the release notes.

Questions: contact the developer via the Google Play listing for Emberdelve, or via GitHub (tapiwamakandigona).
