Crown PassPrivacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Crown Pass handles information. The same app is displayed as Passage Royal in French, 华容道 in Simplified Chinese, 華容道 in Traditional Chinese, 覇者の道 in Japanese, and 영웅의 길 in Korean. The app is developed and operated by HIFORCE INTERNATIONAL CO., LIMITED ("we", "us", or "our"). This Policy applies to the current Android, iOS, and web versions identified above.
1. Offline design and scope
Crown Pass is a single-player sliding-block puzzle game designed to work offline. Its levels, artwork, music, sound effects, rules, hints, and solution demonstrations are included with or executed by the app on your device. The current release has no user accounts, cloud synchronization, advertising, behavioral analytics, crash-reporting SDK, or app-operated server that receives gameplay activity.
2. Information stored on your device
To restore your game between sessions, the app stores a small amount of gameplay and preference data in private local app storage or, for the web version, your browser's local storage:
- Progress and records: completed levels, unlocked progression, best move and cell-step counts, completion count, whether a result was achieved without a hint, and completion time.
- Current puzzle: the active level, piece positions, move and undo history, move and cell-step counts, and relevant exit, survey, or construction state.
- Hint state: hint usage for chapters where hints are available.
- Preferences: language, music, sound, haptics, music volume, and whether the introductory guide has been completed.
This local data does not contain your name, contact details, account credentials, or an advertising profile. It remains on your device or in your browser and is not sent to us. We do not claim that this local data is separately encrypted; use your device lock and operating-system security controls where appropriate.
3. Network access and device permissions
The production Android app does not request internet, camera, microphone, contacts, precise location, motion-sensor, or advertising-identifier permission. The iOS app likewise does not request access to those categories. Music, sound effects, and haptics are produced locally and do not require microphone access. If you use the web version, your browser necessarily connects to the website that serves the app, under the browser and hosting provider's normal operation.
4. Information we do not collect
The app does not ask for or collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, location, device advertising identifier, payment-card details, or account password. It does not transmit your puzzle progress, settings, hints, or gameplay activity to our servers.
5. Sharing, sale, and disclosure
Because we do not receive the local game data described above, we do not sell or share it. The app contains no third-party advertising or analytics SDK that receives gameplay data. If you voluntarily contact us for support, your message, email address, and any information you include will be processed by your email provider and our support team only as needed to respond, maintain necessary support records, protect users and our services, or comply with valid legal requirements.
6. Retention and deletion
Local game data remains until you clear the app's storage, uninstall the app, clear the web version's browser site data, or the operating system or browser removes it. Restarting a puzzle changes only that puzzle's current board and does not delete all records. The current release does not provide a user account or a separate server-side gameplay record for us to delete. Device backups, migration tools, browsers, and app stores may retain data under their own settings and privacy policies.
7. App stores and platform services
The current release does not require an account, subscription, in-app purchase, or paid unlock. Google Play, the Apple App Store, a browser, or another distributor or platform provider may independently process download, device, diagnostics, transaction, or account information under its own terms and privacy policy. We do not receive your payment-card details through the app.
8. Children
Crown Pass is a general-audience puzzle game and does not knowingly collect personal information from children or other users. If you believe a child has sent personal information to us through a support message, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
9. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide rights concerning personal information. Since the app has no account backend and does not send local gameplay data to us, you control that data directly through your device or browser. For questions or requests concerning information you voluntarily submitted to support, contact support@hiforce.ai.
10. Security
We reduce data handling by keeping gameplay offline and using private app storage or browser local storage. No storage method is completely secure. Keep your operating system and browser current, use a device lock, and avoid sharing an unlocked device if you want to protect local game progress.
11. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy if app features, data practices, or legal requirements change. The updated Policy will be published here with a revised date. If a future release introduces online services or a new data practice, we will update this Policy before or when that practice is introduced, as required.
