1. Information we process

Bead Gallery can be used straight away without signing in. The paid Google Play and App Store editions (version 1.1.0 and later) have no sign-in, no ads, no in-app purchases, and no server sync, and send no personal information off your device. In earlier App Store versions (before 1.1.0), if you chose to connect an Apple account in Settings, we took the stable user identifier Apple issues, processed it with HMAC on our server, and used the result to tell accounts apart. We do not ask for or store your name or email address. Earlier free versions also show ads, as described below.

Apple account identifier (HMAC, earlier versions)Used in App Store versions before 1.1.0 to carry your progress across devices when you chose to connect an Apple account. The paid editions do not use it.
Session information (earlier versions)Used to keep the server session of an Apple account connected in an earlier version, and to handle deletion requests for accounts that remain.
Game progress (earlier versions)For users who connected an Apple account in an earlier App Store version, we keep the copy of completed artworks, level, score, best chain, hearts, and daily gift records already synced. The paid editions send nothing to our server.

2. Information stored on your device

Your completed artworks, level, best records, recent play records, daily streak, and sound, music, and vibration settings are stored in the app's storage on your device. In the paid editions (version 1.1.0 and later) these records are not backed up to our server, so they are lost if you delete the app, clear its data, or move to a new device, and we cannot restore them. Earlier free versions also keep hearts and their refill time, daily gift records, and whether the Unlimited Pass is active. If you connected an Apple account in an earlier App Store version, a copy of your completed artworks, level, best records, hearts, and daily gift records is also stored on our server; to delete an earlier-version account and its server data, email support@sleite.com.

3. Apple accounts connected in earlier versions

If you connected an Apple account in an App Store version before 1.1.0, a copy of your progress, an HMAC-processed Apple user identifier, and an encrypted Apple refresh token are stored on our server. From version 1.1.0 the app no longer connects to that server and has no in-app account deletion screen. We did not ask for your name or email address.

To delete an earlier-version account and its server data, email support@sleite.com. We then revoke the Apple token and delete the account and the progress stored on our server; the records on your device are not affected.

4. Platform notes

App StoreBead Gallery runs as an iOS app. Information Apple processes while distributing, updating, backing up, and securing the app is governed by Apple's own policies.
Google PlayBead Gallery runs as an Android app. Information Google processes while distributing, updating, backing up, and securing the app is governed by Google's own policies.

5. Advertising

The paid Google Play and App Store editions (version 1.1.0 and later) show no ads and contain no advertising SDK. Earlier free versions (the free Google Play app and App Store versions before 1.1.0) show ads through Google Mobile Ads. In those versions, to serve ads, control how often they appear, measure their performance, and prevent abuse, ad request, impression, and interaction data along with device and app environment information may be processed by Google and its advertising partners. Where it is required, Google's privacy options screen is available in those versions. We do not ask for App Tracking Transparency permission and we do not request the advertising identifier for tracking.

6. In-app purchases

The paid Google Play and App Store editions are bought from the store and sell nothing inside the app. Apple or Google handles that payment under its own policies, and the app does not see your payment details. In earlier free versions, the Unlimited Pass is bought through the payment system of the store you installed the app from; your payment details and purchase history are handled under that store's policies, and the app only checks whether the purchase exists so it can apply or restore it.

7. How long we keep information

Apple account identifier and synced progress from earlier versionsUntil you stop using the service and ask us to delete it
Payment records5 years (Korean Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce)
Records of consumer complaints and disputes3 years (same Act)
Access logs3 months (Korean Protection of Communications Secrets Act)

We are a business registered in the Republic of Korea, so Korean law sets these retention periods. Information that a law requires us to keep is stored separately for that period and then deleted beyond recovery.

8. Sharing and processors

We share personal information with a third party only with your consent or where the law provides a basis. If an investigative authority makes a lawful request under Korean law, we may provide information within the scope of that request.

9. Your rights and deletion

You can ask to see, correct, or delete your information, or to stop us processing it. Send your request to the contact address below and we will act on it and reply within 10 days.

The paid editions have no account, so there is nothing to delete in the app; deleting the app removes its records. To delete an earlier-version account and its server data, email support@sleite.com. Information that a law requires us to keep is stored separately for that period and then deleted.

10. Security measures

Traffic to our server is protected with HTTPS. Database credentials and signing keys are kept only in the server's secret store, never in source code. Access to information is limited to the minimum needed to operate the service.

11. Where your information is processed

The advertising and platform providers named in this policy operate in multiple countries. When ads are served, the ad-related information described above is processed by Google LLC in the United States and in other countries where Google operates. Information processed by Apple or Google for app distribution and payment is handled under their own policies.

Our own server, which stores the records described above, is hosted by Amazon Web Services in Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Where the law of your country requires notice, consent, or safeguards for this kind of cross-border processing, we follow it.

12. For users in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland

Where the GDPR or equivalent law applies, we process personal information on these legal bases: your consent (for ad-related storage or identifiers where consent is required — Google's privacy options screen collects it); performance of a contract (providing the Service you request); our legitimate interests (keeping the Service secure, preventing fraud and abuse, and keeping it stable); and compliance with a legal obligation.

In addition to the rights above, you can ask us to restrict processing, object to processing based on legitimate interests, and receive a copy of information you provided in a portable format. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

You can also lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority of your country.

13. For users in Japan

Where the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) applies, we use personal information within the purposes stated in this policy. You can ask us to disclose, correct, stop using, or delete the personal information we hold about you through the contact below. Where personal information is provided to a third party or handled outside Japan, we follow the notice, consent, and safeguard requirements of the APPI.

14. Minimum age

Bead Gallery is for people aged 13 and over. The Service is not directed to children below that age, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

15. Contact

Send questions about how we handle personal information, and any request to exercise your rights, to support@sleite.com.

16. Changes to this policy

If what we process changes, we revise this policy and show its effective date before releasing that update. We give notice from 7 days before the date it applies, and from 30 days before for an important change that is unfavourable to you.
