Privacy Policy

01Who we are

This Privacy Policy explains how Vexil LLC ("Vexil", "we", "us" or "our"), a limited liability company organized under the laws of New Mexico, USA, handles personal information. Vexil is the controller responsible for your information.

Registered address: 1209 Mountain Road Pl NE, Ste R, Albuquerque, NM 87110, United States. Contact: [email protected].

02What this policy covers

This policy applies to:

• our website at vexil.io (the "Site");
• our apps, including Blink for macOS (the "Apps");
• our games, including Bone Yard: Stickman Fighter and Junk Magnet: Scrap Tycoon for iOS and Android (the "Games"); and
• any email or support conversations you have with us.

Together these are our "Services". Where an App or Game has its own privacy notice, that notice adds to this policy.

03Information we collect

Information you give us

When you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and anything you choose to write, such as a description of a problem you're having.

Information collected when you visit the Site

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure automatically records basic technical information: your IP address, browser type, the pages you request and the time of the request. We use this only to operate, secure and troubleshoot the Site.

We use AnyAnalytics, our analytics service, to measure visits to the Site and interactions with links to our products. Links to AnyAnalytics include campaign tags identifying the referring page and link placement so we can understand which guides help visitors find the product.

The Site also loads fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google's servers and Google receives your IP address. Google's handling of that data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.

Information from our Apps and Games

The next two sections explain what our Apps and Games do and don't collect.

04Blink

Blink is built to work privately on your Mac.

• On-device data. Your preferences, timers, break history and streaks are stored locally on your Mac. They are not sent to Vexil.
• No account. Blink doesn't require you to create an account or give us your name or email address.
• Pro unlock. Blink Pro is a one-time in-app purchase processed by Apple. We never receive your payment card details. To confirm your purchase and unlock Pro, the app uses our purchase provider, RevenueCat. RevenueCat receives your App Store transaction details and a random app user ID, not your name or email address.
• Free trial. The 15-day Pro trial is tracked locally on your Mac.
• Apple diagnostics. If you've chosen to share analytics with app developers in your Mac's settings, Apple may give us aggregated crash reports and usage statistics that do not identify you. You can turn this off at any time in System Settings.

05Games

Each of our Games has its own privacy notice with full details. In summary, for Bone Yard: Stickman Fighter:

• there are no accounts and no ads, and the game uses no advertising identifiers;
• your progress and settings are stored only on your device;
• anonymous play statistics and crash data are sent to our analytics provider, GameAnalytics, using a random per-install ID. You can turn this off in Settings › Share play stats;
• the phone-to-phone Versus mode briefly uses a connection service to link the two devices; and
• if you use Game Center or Google Play Games, achievements and scores are handled by Apple or Google.

Read the full Bone Yard Privacy Policy.

For Junk Magnet: Scrap Tycoon:

• there are no accounts, in-game ads or in-app purchases;
• your scrapyard and settings are stored only on your device;
• GameAnalytics collects gameplay, usage, device identifier and diagnostic data while Share Gameplay Analytics is on. On iOS, its default user ID is Apple's identifier for vendors (IDFV), which can link events from apps by the same developer on one device. You can turn off event submission in Settings › Share Gameplay Analytics; and
• Transfer Save creates a code you copy yourself. It never goes through our servers.

06How we use information

We use the limited information we have to:

• provide, maintain and improve the Services, including by understanding how our Games are played;
• reply to your questions and provide support;
• verify purchases and deliver paid features;
• keep the Services secure and prevent fraud or abuse; and
• comply with our legal obligations.

We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not build profiles about you.

07Legal bases (EEA and UK users)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process personal information on the following legal bases: to perform our contract with you, for example when you use an App you've purchased; for our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Services and answering your messages; to comply with the law; and, where required, with your consent, which you may withdraw at any time.

08How we share information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share information only:

• with service providers who help us run the Services, such as website hosting, email, purchase verification and game analytics, and only as needed to provide their services to us;
• with Apple and Google, as needed to process app store purchases and, if you use them, Game Center and Google Play Games features;
• if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety or property of Vexil, our users or others; and
• as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, in which case this policy will continue to protect your information.

09How long we keep it

We keep support emails for as long as needed to help you and to maintain reasonable business records, generally no longer than three years. Server logs are kept for a short period for security purposes and then deleted. Anonymous game statistics are kept by our analytics provider under its retention policy. Data stored on your device by our Apps and Games stays under your control.

10Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, including California, other U.S. states, the EEA and the UK, you may have the right to:

• access the personal information we hold about you;
• correct inaccurate information;
• delete your information;
• object to or restrict certain processing;
• receive a portable copy of your information; and
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To make a request, email [email protected]. We'll respond within the time the law requires, and we won't discriminate against you for using your rights. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

11Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect information, and we keep as little of it as possible. No method of storing or sending data over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12International transfers

Vexil is based in the United States, and information we receive is processed there. Where the law requires it, we use appropriate safeguards for transfers from other countries.

13Children's privacy

Our Services are not directed at children under 13, or under 16 in the EEA and UK, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

14Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If a change is significant, we'll give more prominent notice.
