Elias Arcade for iPhone — Privacy

Effective September 12, 2026. Published by Avatar8 LLC. This policy covers the iPhone app; the separate website may have different features.

On your iPhone

No Elias Arcade account is required. The game collection is included in the app. Favorites, settings and supported game saves stay on your device. The iPhone app has no advertising, advertising tracking, third-party analytics SDK or public chat. It does not upload your game collection or local saves.

Annual Arcade Pass

The app is free to download. An active Annual Arcade Pass unlocks the games. Apple processes subscription purchases, renewals and refunds through your Apple Account. The app checks Apple-verified subscription transactions on your device to unlock access. Our multiplayer servers do not receive these transactions, your Apple Account credentials or payment-card details. Apple handles its purchase records under its own privacy policy: Apple Privacy.

Optional camera and microphone activities

These activities start disabled. A grown-up must enable them, and iPhone must grant permission. Camera and microphone media are processed locally; the app does not upload recordings to our servers. Recordings remain on the device unless you choose to export them. Leaving an activity or disabling media access stops active capture. You can revoke permission in iPhone Settings. An app or service receiving an exported recording handles its copy under its own practices.

Optional online play

Online multiplayer starts disabled and can be enabled from the grown-up corner. When used, servers operated for Avatar8 LLC on Hetzner infrastructure receive the network address needed for the connection, generated player aliases, room/session identifiers and game actions. The servers replace incoming player names with generated aliases. Do not enter a child's real name.

Live game state is held in server memory, without a gameplay database. Racing and snake players are removed when their connection closes. A board-game room is removed when no connected players remain; a disconnected player's state can remain while others are connected so that player can rejoin.

Web-server access and error logs can contain IP addresses, connection/request times, requested routes and technical connection details. They support service operation, troubleshooting and security, and are not used for advertising or cross-app tracking. The current server configuration checks log rotation daily and keeps up to 14 rotated log files. This is a file-count policy, not a promise that every entry disappears after 14 days. Infrastructure backups may retain copies for longer; we do not promise immediate deletion from backups.

Hetzner provides the hosting infrastructure. Apple provides App Store and subscription services. Information may be handled outside your country by these providers. We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising.

Choices and privacy requests

You can turn off online play and camera/microphone activities in Settings → Grown-up corner. Turning off online play closes the app's current connections. It does not delete previously created server logs. Removing the app can remove local settings and progress; there is no account-based cloud save service. Manage or cancel a subscription through your Apple Account; deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.

For access, deletion or other privacy requests, a parent or guardian can contact Avatar8 LLC at ops@avatar33.com. Please describe the request without sending a child's name, photos, passwords or other unnecessary personal information. We may ask for limited technical details needed to locate a relevant record. We will explain what we can identify and remove, including any applicable security, legal or backup limitations.
