Privacy Policy

Shikaku+ / Shikaku Plus ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Shikaku Plus game, website, and related services.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we store it, and your choices regarding that information. By using Shikaku+, you agree to the practices described below.

Who we are

Shikaku Plus is operated by an individual developer based in the Philippines.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or your data, contact us at:
hello.shikaku.plus@gmail.com

Information we collect

We may collect the following information:

• Email address.
• Display name or username.
• OAuth account information from Meta, Google, or Discord, if you choose to sign in through those providers.
• Donation status and supporter status.
• Opt-in status for emails, supporter perks, updates, or related communications.
• Gameplay statistics and service usage information.
• Account security data managed by our authentication provider, including encrypted password information where applicable.

We do not intentionally collect credit card numbers, debit card numbers, or bank account details through our website. If you make a crypto donation, the payment is handled through the external wallet or payment service you use, not by us directly.

How we use your information

We use your information to:

• Create and manage user accounts.
• Let you sign in through supported OAuth providers.
• Track donation status and supporter status.
• Connect donations to accounts when the same email address is used.
• Store opt-in choices.
• Record gameplay statistics, progress, and related service data.
• Improve the game, website, and community features.
• Send important service-related messages.

Donation linking

If you donate using an email address, we may use that email address to later connect your donation to a Shikaku+ account, supporter badge, or related perks. This is used to keep supporter status and account identity aligned.

Data storage and third parties

We may store data using third-party services such as Supabase and Google Sheets.

We may also rely on third-party providers for:

• Authentication.
• Database and storage services.
• Email delivery.
• Website hosting.
• Crypto payment handling, if used.

These providers may process information on our behalf under their own privacy terms.

Tracking and analytics

We do not use advertising pixels, retargeting pixels, or social media tracking pixels.

We do not intentionally use Google Pixel, Meta Pixel, Facebook Pixel, or similar ad-tracking tools.

We may use in-game analytics or internal service metrics to understand gameplay performance, account activity, and product usage, but we do not use third-party ad tracking for marketing surveillance.

Cookies and local storage

Our website may use essential cookies or local storage that are necessary for account login, session management, preferences, or service operation.

If we use any analytics or functional storage in the future, we will update this policy to explain it clearly.

How we protect your data

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no online system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law or needed for legitimate service operations.

Your rights

Depending on applicable law, including the Philippines Data Privacy Act, you may have rights to:

• Access your personal data.
• Correct inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of your data, subject to service and legal limits.
• Withdraw consent for optional processing.
• Ask questions about how your data is used.

Children's privacy

Shikaku+ is not intended for children under 13. If a younger user has provided personal data, contact us and we will handle it appropriately.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the updated version on this page with a new effective date.
