Privacy Policy

The short version

Bug Parcels collects no personal information. The game runs entirely on your device and works offline.

  • No account, sign-up or login

  • No tracking, analytics or advertising

  • Nothing is sent to us or to anyone else

  • Your game progress stays on your device

Effective Date: 15 November 2026

1. Who we are

Bug Parcels is made by Kieren Hilton Dight, trading as Friendo Studio (ABN 72 270 437 127), based in New South Wales, Australia. "We", "us" and "our" mean Friendo Studio. This policy covers the Bug Parcels app for iPhone.

Questions about privacy: hello@friendo.studio.

2. Information stored on your device

The app saves the following on your iPhone so your game is there when you come back. None of it leaves your device and we cannot see it.

  • Game progress: your bugs, the homes you build, field book pages, postcards, letters and gifts

  • Names you type: any name you give a bug

  • Settings: whether music and sound effects are on

If your iPhone is backed up to iCloud or a computer, this saved data may be included in that backup. Backups are controlled by you and handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy.

3. Information we do NOT collect

We do not collect, receive or store any of the following:

  • Name, email address, phone number or any contact details

  • Location

  • Photos, camera, microphone or contacts

  • Device identifiers or advertising identifiers

  • Usage analytics or crash reports sent to us

  • Payment details

The app asks for no device permissions and makes no network connections during play.

4. Sharing and third parties

We do not sell, rent or share personal information, because we do not have any. The app contains no advertising and no third-party analytics or tracking tools.

The only third party involved is Apple, which distributes the app through the App Store. If you choose to share diagnostics with app developers in your iPhone settings, Apple may give us anonymous, aggregated crash and usage reports. These do not identify you.

5. Purchases

Bug Parcels is free to play. The app offers an optional tip and the purchase is handled entirely by Apple through your Apple Account. We never see your card or payment details. Apple tells us only that a purchase was made, not who made it.

6. Children’s privacy

Bug Parcels is a general-audience game and is not directed at children. Because the app collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children. It has no chat, no social features, no advertising and no links out to the web.

7. Storage, security and deletion

Your game data is stored only on your device and is protected by your iPhone's own security, such as your passcode and device encryption. Since nothing is sent to us, we hold no copy that could be lost or breached.

You can delete your data at any time:

  • Deleting the app removes everything it saved

8. Your rights

Privacy laws such as the Australian Privacy Act 1988, the EU and UK GDPR, and California's CCPA/CPRA give you rights to access, correct and delete personal information held about you. We hold none, so there is nothing for us to provide, correct or delete. Everything the app saves is on your device and under your control.

If you have a concern, contact us first at hello@friendo.studio. You can also complain to your local privacy regulator: in Australia the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), in the UK the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), or your national data protection authority in the EU.

9. International data transfers

The app sends no personal information anywhere, so no data is transferred between countries.

10. Changes to this policy

If the app changes in a way that affects privacy, for example by adding a feature that sends data off your device, we will update this policy before that change is released and change the date at the top. Where practical, we will give at least 14 days' notice of significant changes.
