Privacy Policy

This policy applies to the Dotbox app and explains how data is handled on HarmonyOS devices.

App: Dotbox Version: 1.0.0 Last updated: 2026-04-08

1. Information We Collect

Dotbox does not require account registration and does not collect direct identity information such as your name, phone number, email address, location, contacts, or photos.

In addition to local settings, statistics, and current progress, after you explicitly tap “Agree & Continue” on first launch, the app enables the Umeng analytics SDK to send anonymous usage statistics such as page views, feature taps, and session start or completion events so we can understand product usage and improve the experience.

On the app side, we have disabled non-essential fields including OAID, device model, OS version, PLMN, and automatic page tracking. Even so, the third-party SDK may still process the minimum device and network environment data required to provide analytics. Actual processing is subject to the third-party SDK capabilities and its official disclosures.

2. Information Stored Locally

To provide a continuous experience, the app may store the following data locally on your device:

  • Interface settings such as language, theme, feedback, and board tuning preferences
  • Statistics such as session count, moves, duration, and unlocked records
  • Current session progress so unfinished content can be restored

This information is stored locally on your device by default and is not automatically synced to a remote server.

3. Permission Usage

The app currently uses the following permissions or system access capabilities:

  • Vibration permission: used to provide haptic feedback for key moves, completed boxes, and important state changes
  • Network access: used only to send anonymous analytics data after consent
  • Network status information: used to help the analytics SDK determine network environment and request state

If you do not want haptic feedback, you can disable it at the system level or turn off related feedback options in the app settings.

4. How Data Is Used

Locally stored data is used only to:

  • Restore your current progress and interface configuration
  • Display statistics and usage history
  • Improve the local interaction experience

After your consent, some anonymous usage statistics are sent through Umeng to a third-party analytics service provider for aggregated analysis of feature usage trends. The app does not sell your personal information and does not directly share local settings or progress with unrelated third parties.

5. Data Transfer and Third-Party Services

The current version does not provide account services, cloud sync, online leaderboards, or advertising services, but it does enable the Umeng analytics SDK after your consent.

The Umeng analytics SDK is initialized only after you agree to the relevant terms, and it is used to send anonymous usage statistics. Third-party service details are as follows:

  • Third party: Umeng
  • Service type: app analytics
  • Purpose: understand page views, feature usage, and session completion trends to improve the product experience
  • Activation timing: only after you tap “Agree & Continue”

Apart from the anonymous analytics above, Dotbox does not actively transmit your local settings or statistics to developer-operated servers.

6. Your Control Over Data

You can manage your data in the following ways:

  • Choose not to accept the relevant agreement on first launch so anonymous analytics will not be enabled
  • Uninstall the app to remove locally stored app data from your device
  • Adjust settings inside the app to change language, theme, feedback, and board parameters

The current version does not provide a separate in-app entry to withdraw analytics consent after acceptance. Uninstalling the app stops further data collection on that device and clears local app data.

7. Children and Minors

Dotbox is designed for a broad audience and currently does not provide registration or social features. We do not actively collect personal identity information from minors.

8. Policy Updates

If future versions introduce new third-party services, online features, account systems, or other functions requiring additional disclosure, this policy will be updated accordingly. Significant changes will be reflected in the app or on this page.
